Picture of the Day
InSight was an American spacecraft mission launched by
NASA and the
Jet Propulsion Laboratory, consisting of a robotic
lander designed to study the deep interior of the planet
Mars. Launched in 2018, the mission was active until late 2022, when contact with the lander was lost. InSight's objectives were to place a
seismometer on the surface of Mars to measure seismic activity and provide accurate three-dimensional models of the planet's interior, and to measure internal
heat transfer using a heat probe to study Mars's early geological evolution. This was intended to provide a new understanding of how the Solar System's
terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) as well as the Moon formed and evolved. This 2015 photograph shows three technicians working on the InSight lander with its
solar panels deployed during preflight testing in a
cleanroom in
Denver, Colorado.Photograph credit:

The following are mirrored from User:BlankVerse's page, who's sentiments here I agree with. I have not personally had any problems with admins, but I do see it as a problem that the system is so open to abuse currently. The user base is so large, there are always people who will act differently once they feel they have power over people.
Just one part of the solution: There are some editors who don't necessarily need to be banned, but just need a
time out, which is why the Wikipedia has a
temporary blocking process. Well admins are editors too, and they also occasionally step over the bounds of appropriate behavior for editors. What is worse is that they can use their admin tools to do their misbehavior.
Right now there is no quick and effective way to punish a misbehaving administrator or even stop their misbehavior. If another admin blocks them, they can unblock themself. If an article is protected, they can edit it anyway. If they are in a revert war, they can continually use their rollback tool. And they can do all of this basically with impunity.
Because admins are trusted members of the Wikipedia community I feel that their misbehavior must be taken more seriously than those actions of other editors. There needs to be a small group of trusted supervisor administrators who have the ability to temporarily block misbehaving admins from doing any editing for periods of time up to a week and removal of admin powers for at least a month based upon the severity of the misbehavior. Any further misbehavior would be grounds for permanent removal as an administrator and they would have to reapply at Requests for adminship.
