If you desysop me, you desysop her too!

On November 15th, 2009 my

Request for Adminship was closed at a margin of 54/3/8 and I was granted the sysop bit. Adminship is a privilege and responsibility, not a right; as it was given by the community based on all of my previous edits and actions, so too may it 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.

Definitions

  • An editor in good standing has been registered and actively contributing in a meaningful and consistent fashion for at least three months, has at least 500 mainspace edits, and has not been blocked, banned in any fashion, or otherwise restrained during that time.
  • An administrator in good standing has met the editor in good standing requirements for at least six months, has at least 5,000 edits, and has been a sysop uninterrupted for at least three months.
  • A quorum is defined as at least nine editors meeting one of the above two conditions.
    • At least two have to be non-admin editors.
    • At least three have to be sysops, at least one of which has to be in
      CAT:AOTR
      .
    • If the user group in question is something other than sysop, at least one participant must also have similar access.

Process

Step one

Approach me on my

intent of success.[3]

If the above conversation has failed or left you dissatisfied, there are a

may pursue
, although if you favor ease, simplicity, and a lack of drama, I suggest continuing with this process.

Step two

Ask yourself the following questions:

  1. Is my edit count above 133?[4][5]
  2. Have I been free of blocks or other editing restraints for at least 42 days?[6]

If you can answer "Yes" to both of these questions, continue to Step three.

Step three

  • Create User:Amorymeltzer/recall/Petition; I have it watchlisted but please notify me nonetheless.
  • Present any and all arguments, supporting your reasoning with diffs, logs, or any other evidence.
    • Restate, don't copy, what you initially wrote on my talk page.
    • It would be nice if you provided a neutral summary at the top of the page. If you don't, I will.
  • State what outcome(s) you would like to see occur.[7][3]

Step Four

After I present my thoughts, I will make a note on both my User and Talk pages announcing that I am undergoing Administrative Recall and requesting discussion and !votes from editors in good standing.[8] 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,[9] 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.

Results

Obvious support

With two-thirds supporting the petition, the Community has spoken, and I will do what has been asked.[10][11]

Outcome oppose

With two-thirds opposing the petition, the Community has spoken, and I retain my administrator permission.[11]

Non-obvious result

If neither of these has occurred, an uninvolved sysop and an uninvolved rollbacker[12] 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.[10][11]

Notes

  1. ^ That being said, edits or actions performed in a capacity relevant to the user group in question will likely carry more weight here.
  2. always right
  3. ^
    under a cloud
    ; others are invited to disagree with me and I will consult them first should I consider re-requesting the right.
  4. ^ 7x13+42
  5. shop around
    for an editor to file on their behalf.
  6. ^ This of course implies the account is at least 42 days old.
  7. ^ Reconfirmation RfA, removal of rights, banhammer, etc.
  8. ^ Others are of course encouraged to join the discussion.
  9. ^ Limit two per customer.
  10. ^
    under a cloud
    and will not re-request the right for at least three months.
  11. ^ a b c The specific issue at hand will be considered stale (inapplicable for another recall petition) for four months, barring any newly raised evidence (after discussion on my talk page of course).
  12. rollback
    right uninterrupted for at least 42 days, but has never been granted admin rights and is not currently undergoing an RfA.
