Adminship is a privilege and responsibility, not a right; as it was granted by the community based on all of my previous edits and actions, it may be revoked by the community based on any of my subsequent edits or actions. [1] This page outlines one potential avenue for that process, [2] and may also be applied to any other user group.
First, approach me, ideally on my talk page. Seriously. I'm a fairly laid-back person, so odds are any dispute can be neatly solved by talking it out together. Present your reasoned argument/opinion and ask me in a civil, non-accusatory manner for my rationale and/or reversal (if possible); this process is not available to any attempt that fails to take this step with the intent of success. [3]
If the above conversation has failed or left you dissatisfied, there are a number of different avenues you may pursue, although if you favor ease, simplicity, and a lack of drama, I suggest continuing with this process.
Ask yourself the following questions:
If you can answer Yes
to both of these questions, continue to step two. Those without an eligible account or unwishing/unable to register one may freely
shop around for an editor to file on their behalf.
After I present my thoughts, I will make a note on both my User and User talk pages announcing that I am undergoing Recall, requesting discussion and !votes from editors in good standing. [6] The opining process will last for no less than seven days, during which neither myself nor the filer may !vote. If after that period a quorum has not been reached, the filer may opt to either extend the petition, up to and including an additional 48 hours, [7] or to have it closed as unsuccessful. If a quorum has been reached, the petition will be concluded and Wikipedia:Administrators open to recall/Past requests may be updated.
With two-thirds supporting the petition, the Community has spoken, and I will do what has been asked. [8] [9]
With two-thirds opposing the petition, the Community has spoken, and no action is warranted. [9]
If neither of these has occurred, an uninvolved sysop and an uninvolved rollbacker [10] will discuss the appropriate outcome on the petition's talk page. No consensus is a return to the status quo before the filing of this petition. [8] [9]
