Again, delighted to still be subscribed. A bit worried about the notion of "voting", then again, the press don't have the proper term for it (hell, Wikipedia still doesn't. It's supposed to be "discussion", last I checked :P).

"Most recently he was elected as a member of the arbitration committee (only those who make 100 edits a week can vote), which is the highest dispute-settling body in the organisation before you get to Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy "Jimbo" Wales, who can deliver a fiat."
Mein gott! Just think of all those arbcom cases I missed voting in! What a fool I've been, thinking one had to be elected to Arbcom.

Actually, I'm guessing they meant to say that "only those who make 100 edits a week can vote" in the elections during which "he was elected as a member of the arbitration committee." Which isn't correct either, of course; but it still seems like a more reasonable interpretation.
