Wikipedia is a large and growing community and it is important that we continue to advance the primary function of Wikipedia. The role of our administrators must evolve, and as a community we must embrace reform and appropriate improvements.

It's an honor and a privilege to be a member of this distinguished group of reformers. I have always felt that I had a very important role to play in shaping our admins to my liking.

Sure. (ec'ed with CoM, and his flowery statement makes mine feel really inadequate...)

Super interested in admin role in arbitration enforcement. Think it needs to be revamped.

Seems like a good idea. Let's see how it turns out. ceranthor 21:27, 5 October 2009 (UTC)reply
Given the deeply entrenched culture of unaccountability among the admin corps(e), I seriously doubt any positive change will result from this exercise. But without some effort it is certain that nothing positive will happen. I'm willing to help the effort and to be pleasantly surprised.--

I'm tired of being a chapter behind. Not that I'll probably do much about it, but I'm still tired of it. =) 「

Long overdue. Let's get something in place that improves and standardizes the performance of our admin corps.

Probably would be a good idea to be part of this. Please note that this is not the cabal. Besides,
There Is No Cabal.

Rogue admins are no joke, just because of what they can do. With power, comes responsibility, "but power tends to corrupt."

A long-needed wikiproject, and for everyone - this cannot just be an admin protection scheme. All kinds of future improvements to Wikipedia could go through or even start in here. Admin are central to more than Wikipedia generally admits to.

Piotrus and the mailing list really ruined Wikipedia for me this year. It was the kind of thing I always knew happened, but it was painful to see it exposed nonetheless.
