Wikipedia's village stocks, found a short distance from the village pump
A foolish administrator receives a ritual ducking from the Wikipedia community

It is a truth universally acknowledged that intelligent and otherwise sensible editors and administrators occasionally do something REALLY STUPID.

Based on the principle that stupidity is best punished by humiliation, the village stocks have been built to identify the Wiki-idiots in our midst.

Stocks of shame

Maxim

Who managed, on 3 February 2008, to delete the Main Page. (confession: [1])

Scientizzle

Who succeeded in locking the servers for half an hour on 16 January 2008 by deleting the sandbox, as discussed at AN/I and thus achieved various Wikitrouts and barn stars on their user page.
