Sorry for this title a bit provocating,
but i just wonder how a candidate for the board election 2008
(User:Thekohser, see
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Thekohser ) can run
with :
* being banned indefinitely on en.wp (see :
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&pa…)
* having at least 34 blocked sockpuppets on en.wp (see :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_MyWikiBiz )
Did somebody already checked it, or is it really allowed to vote for such
candidate ?
I don't know of any of the candidacy requirements that would be
violated by any of that. I would hope people would take it into
account when voting, but if people want to vote for someone that's
been banned from a project, they're allowed to do so. One project
can't dictate whether or not someone can stand for the board of the
whole foundation, can they?
