Uhm, is it just me, or is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee/Checkuser_reque... very, very bad idea? I think it's fairly obvious why it probably wasn't so bright to make that an open, free-for-all page. Especially if the community's not going to have any say and it'll just be the Arbs appointing Checkusers, then what exactly is the use of that page? The arbs could have easily just approached people and announce it. This will probably degenerate into a farce - I already see at least one name on there who hasn't even been contributing very long to this project, and isn't an admin.
