Wikipedia's village stocks, found a short distance from the village pump

It is a truth universally acknowledged that intelligent and otherwise sensible editors and administrators occasionally engage in acts of extreme stupidity.

Based on the fundamental principle that such blatant disregard of sensibility, however unintended, is best punished by humiliation, the village stocks have been built to identify the wiki-idiots in our midst.

Hall of shame

A foolish administrator receives a ritual ducking from the Wikipedia community

AmiDaniel for the revert the right page award

Who succeeded in reverting vandalism, but posted the reversion to the Main Page instead of the article.

Animum for the lèse majesté award

Self-confession – Was somehow overly impetuous and reverted Jimbo; also accidentally blocked ClueBot.

Ed Poor for the boldness award

On August 1, 2005, Ed Poor, one of Wikipedia's senior editors, boldly decided to delete the entire VFD deletion process. Following a request for arbitration, Ed Poor would resign as a Wikipedia Bureaucrat. See also the Signpost article "Deletion deletion".

Maxim for the "what does this button do?" award

Who managed, on 3 February 2008, to delete the Main Page, because someone told him it could not be done. (confession: [1])

Scientizzle for the baby and bathwater award

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 his/her user page.

Nominations

Any editor perpetrating an act of extreme stupidity can be nominated for this page. It is courteous to inform them of their sentence by posting Template:Stocks on their talk page. Consider also using the following barnstar:
