다양한 사람이 가지고 있는 행정에 대한 의견도 많고 행정이나 관련 절차에 대한 불만도 끊이지 않는다.이미 여러 가지 쟁점들이 죽도록 논의되었고, 그 쟁점들의 양측에 좋은 주장들이 존재하는 것 같다.이번 여론조사는 대다수의 편집자들이 우리의 절차나 전례에 특정한 변화가 이루어져야 한다고 믿고 있는지를 알아내는 것이다.

이것은 정책 제안도 아니고, 이 여론 조사도 구속력도 없습니다.이것은 민심의 척도이다.하지만 어떤 정책이 유리하다는 민심이 있다면 정책제안을 위한 노력을 기울일 것이다.투표는 나쁘지만 여론을 배우는 것은 그렇지 않다.만약 여론이 명백하다면, 사람들은 그들의 미래 행동이나 판단을 고려하기를 원할 것이다.

이 여론조사는 사람들이 동의하거나 동의하지 않을 수 있는 여러 진술로 구성되어 있다.자유롭게 의견을 말씀해주세요.나는 자주 표현되는 모든 진술들을 취합하려고 시도했다. 그것이 내가 그들 중 하나 또는 모든 것에 동의한다는 것을 의미하지는 않을 것이다.혹시 놓친 게 있으면 알려주세요.Radiant_> < 2006년 1월 17일 (UTC) 응답[응답]


관리 요청

참고 항목:Linux beak/RFA 개혁.

RFA는 투표가 아닌 토론이 되어야 한다.

Wikipedia로 이동:관리자 어카운터빌리티 폴/RFA는 다음과 같습니다.
명확한 합의가 없다.

관리자가 되기 위한 기준은 현재보다 높아야 합니다.

동의(관리 기준)

  1. 물론입니다.과거의 「공식」의 경합까지를 고려합니다.--badlydrawdjeff 18:34, 2006년 1월 17일(UTC)응답[응답]
  2. 나는 이것의 약한 형태에 동의하며, 주로 최소한의 지지 투표에 대한 요건이 있어야 한다고 생각하지만, 나의 코멘트는 다음과 같다.Katefan0(scribble)/mrp 18:38, 2006년 1월 17일 (UTC)응답[응답]
  3. 상기에 동의하세요.바이올렛/리가(t) 2006년 1월 17일 (UTC) 응답[응답]
  4. 최근 위키피디아에서 2,000개 이상의 편집을 가진 관리자가 50,000개 이상의 편집을 가진 편집자를 쫓아내는 것을 보았습니다.이건 용납할 수 없는 일이야수천 건의 편집을 축적하고 토크 페이지에 아첨하는 글을 올리고 관리직으로 승진하여 이 백과사전을 실제로 집필하는 위키피디아를 협박하는 것은 매우 쉽습니다.현재 관리자에 대한 기대가 너무 느슨합니다. --Ghirlatalk 18:48, 2006년 1월 17일 (UTC)응답[응답]
  5. 표준은 훨씬 더 높아야 하며, 아마도 공식 최소값(시간, 편집 횟수)을 제정해야 할 것이다.Gamaliel 2006년 1월 17일 18:56 (UTC)응답 [응답]
  6. 매우 그렇습니다. 저는 특별히 관리자가 부족하다고 생각하지 않습니다. 그리고 현명하게 사용하지 않더라도 큰 일입니다.좋은 행정관은 별 거 아니야 나쁜 행정관은 친구 지명이 너무 많아신입사원의 고된 일을 위한 "고사"로 지명되는 것이 너무 많다.Derex 19:02, 2006년 1월 17일 (UTC)응답[응답]
  7. 관리자 사이에 팩 사고방식이 형성되고 있어 개인적인 결정을 내리는 사람은 거의 없습니다.--Tony SidawayTalk 20:05, 2006년 1월 17일 (UTC)응답[응답]
  8. 네, 위키피디아에서 얼마나 많은 무능한 사람들이...- 0Talk 2006년 1월 17일 21:00 (UTC) 응답[응답]
    나는 이것이 모든 행정관들에 대한 개인적인 발언이라고 생각한다.적어도 상당히 부적절합니다. --LV(Dark Mark) 21:16, 2006년 1월 17일 (UTC)응답[응답]

  15. 네.너무 많은 관리자가 역할극의 자격증(학술적 기준에 따라 기사를 쓰는 것보다 훨씬 쉽다)으로 자신의 지위를 받아들이고 있으며, 많은 관리자가 위키피디아를 백과사전이 아닌 사회적 상호작용을 위한 커뮤니티 웹사이트로 접근하는 친구 그룹에 의해 선출되는 것은 의심의 여지가 없다.개인적으로, 행정가는 온라인 몹에 의해 선출되어야 하는 것이 아니라, 웨일즈에 의해 신중하게 선택된 학문의 신뢰성과 신뢰도에 따라 관료들에 의해 임명되어야 한다고 생각합니다.마녀 2006년 1월 18일 19:27 (UTC)응답
  16. Kevin baas 20:37, 2006년 1월 18일 (UTC) 네. 네. 네. 네. 부탁드립니다.회신[응답]
  17. 기준의 제고를 지지합니다만, 그 표준으로 인해 현재의 관리자가 관리 해제되는 일이 없도록 하고 싶습니다.나와 다른 많은 훌륭한 기물 파손자들, 정책가들 등은 분명히 한 무리의 사람들이 주장하는 기준에 부합하지 않는다.많은 훌륭한 관리자들이 권력을 잃는 것을 보고 싶지 않습니다. 왜냐하면 갑자기 누가 권력을 가지고 있는지에 대해 더 엄격해져야 하기 때문입니다.Mo0 [ talk ]2006년 1월 18일 (UTC) 22:32 (응답)
  18. 네, 한두 달 만에 프로젝트를 시작한 사람들이 있어요.6개월에서 1년간 확실한 편집과 정책 문제에 대한 적절한 판단이 훨씬 적합합니다.--Improv 15:08, 2006년 1월 19일(UTC)응답[응답]

  25. 더 높은 기준, 더 많은 정밀 조사하고 싶은 말 해!!!00:27, 2006년 2월 22일 (UTC)응답[응답]
  26. 확실히 더 높은 기준입니다.RfA의 표준에는 시간 및 중요한 편집(20,000개의 콤마나 웰컴메시지뿐만 아니라)을 포함해야 합니다.하지만 사람들이 직감적으로 투표할 수 있는 여지도 있어야 한다. young American (talk) 22:07, 2006년 3월 14일 (UTC)응답[응답]
  27. 보다 높은 기준, 그러나 보다 객관적이고 수치화할 수 있는 기준 -- Gnetwerker 19:42, 2006년 4월 13일 (UTC)응답 [응답]
  28. 물론이죠. 사람마다 기준이 다르니까요.어느 날, 사람들은 경력 2개월의 후보자를 위해 호산나를 외치고, 다음 날, 3개월의 경력을 가진 다른 후보자는 충분히 오래 있지 않다는 이유로 비난을 받을 것입니다.joturner 20:04, 2006년 5월 15일 (UTC)응답
  29. 쉽게 제거할 수 있는 경우가 아니라면 동의하십시오.관리자가 되거나 비관리자가 되는 것이 최종적인 이유는 알 수 없습니다.Timothy Usher 2006년 5월 26일 23:20 (UTC) 응답[응답]
  30. 위의 관리 상태에 동의하는 것은 기껏해야 끈질긴 상태여야 합니다.이것만으로 관리자의 행동과 코멘트를 Wiki의 서면 정책에 맞출 수 있습니다.Mugaliens 2006년 8월 13일 (UTC) 17:54 (응답)

개인기준은 더 높아야 한다(관리기준)

  1. 더 높은 "공식적" 기준은 아니지만, 나는 많은 일반 RFA 유권자들이 더 높은 "개인적" 기준을 가질 필요가 있다고 생각한다.현재 1,000개의 편집이 있고, 3개월 동안 이곳에 머무르고 있으며, 아직 실패하지 않았다면 RFA 일반 사용자 1명부터 20명까지의 찬성표를 얻을 수 있습니다.2006년 1월 17일 (UTC)응답
  2. 나는 BlankVerse에 동의한다.CarboniteTalk 2006년 1월 17일 18:31 (UTC)응답[응답]
  3. Blank Verse에 동의합니다.개인적으로 저는 위키피디아에서 두 달 만에 승진했습니다 - Ilyanep (Talk) 18:57, 2006년 1월 17일 (UTC)응답 [응답]
    • 설명:일찌감치 승진한 좋은 사용자들 때문에 공식적인 기준이 있어서는 안 된다는 것입니다.그러나, 사람들은 그들이 원하는 것을 할 수 있다(그리고 개인 기준은 더 쉽게 추측할 수 있다).- Ilyanep (대화) 2006년 1월 17일 19:25 (UTC) 응답[응답]
  4. 원칙적으로 동의하다.: Nightstallion(?) 2006년 1월 17일 21:17 (UTC) 응답[응답]
  5. 인정해요, 높은 개인 기준이 공식적인 것보다 더 나을 거예요.ALCIVARRadioactivity symbol.png 2006년 1월 17일 23:42 (UTC)응답[응답]
  6. 특히 BlankVerse의 감정에 동의하세요.공식 표준은 문제가 되지 않습니다.실제로 아무것도 없습니다(RFA 메인 페이지에 기재된 표준은 제안일 뿐입니다). --Deathphoenix 16:37, 2006년 1월 18일(UTC)응답
  7. 동의합니다.Jonath under 2006년 1월 19일 (UTC)응답[응답]
  8. 네. 컷오프를 더 높게 설정하면 논란이 되는 일을 한 적이 없는 관리자(따라서 중요한 일을 한 적이 없는 관리자)만이 성공합니다.대신 유권자들은 책임과 책임에 더 초점을 맞추고 사람들이 다시 찾아내는 과거의 편집 건수와 충돌에 더 초점을 맞춰 자신의 기준을 재고해야 한다.rspeer / ɹɹds 21 21:29 (UTC ) 2006년 1월 24일 (UTC)응답[응답]
  9. 원칙적으로는 동의하지만 정량화하는 것은 불가능하다.나는 이것이 변화를 위한 제안이 아니라 원칙적인 진술에 가깝다고 생각한다.Quadell(talk) (bounties) 2006년 1월 27일 (UTC) 15:20 (응답)
  10. 동감입니다. 관리자들은 좀 더 상식이 필요합니다.하지만 그들은 또한 단지 일을 잘하기 위해서 엄격한 규칙을 고수할 필요는 없다.WriterFromAfar755 2006년 2월 17일 02:26 (UTC)응답[응답]
  11. 동의해, 블랑구옌 마음대로 해!!!00:29, 2006년 2월 22일 (UTC)응답[응답]
  12. 동의해. 명확한 공식 기준을 보고 싶지는 않지만 투표하는 사람들은 훨씬 더 높은 기준을 가져야 해.--PS2pcGAMer (대화) 07:14, 2006년 3월 12일 (UTC)응답
  13. 동의해. 사실, 몇 달 동안 위키피디아를 통해 순항하는 사람들은 쉽게 들어갈 수 있어.스트레스 테스트를 받은 적이 없기 때문에 어떤 성분인지 알 수 없습니다. --maru (talk) committes 05:50, 2006년 4월 23일 (UTC)응답]
  14. 특히 나이와 관련하여 동의하세요.논란의 여지가 없는 주제나 기술적인 주제에 적극적인 기고자인 젊은 사용자는 반대가 적지만 개인적인 분쟁을 판단하는 데 매우 서투른 것으로 판명될 수 있습니다.이 문제는 만약 행정의 여러 단계나 종류가 있다면 줄어들 것이다 - "걸레"가 징계 조치를 취할 수 있는 능력과 짝을 이루어야 할 명확한 이유는 없다.관리자가 모든 면에서 동등하게 유능하다고 기대하는 것은 비현실적입니다.Timothy Usher 2006년 5월 26일 23:24 (UTC) 응답[응답]
  15. 관리자가 되기 위한 공식적인 기준이 있나요?관리에 중요한 기준은 개인 및 커뮤니티 기준뿐입니다(편집 횟수 하한 등).그래서 이 섹션에는 이 코멘트를 남깁니다.--Cyde↔WEYS 23:38, 2006년 5월 26일 (UTC) 응답[응답]
  16. 동의합니다. 관리자로부터 "f*****"라는 지시를 받은 사람으로서 관리자는 도덕성이 필요하다고 생각합니다. - Kookykman (t)e 18:23, 2006년 6월 30일 (UTC)응답[응답]

프로모션(관리 기준)이 아니라 설명 책임에 관한 것입니다.

  1. 승진 기준을 어길 필요는 없다.우리는 좋은 후보들을 많이 얻었고, 그들 대부분은 백과사전에 혜택을 주기 위해 떠났다.진짜 문제는 행정관이 된 후 그 자리에 있는 누군가를 위한 공동체 기준을 준수하지 못하는 소수의 사람들을 상대하는 것이 너무 지루하다는 것이다.따라서 이러한 문제를 피하기 위해 기준이 계속 올라가고 있지만, 궁극적으로는 손을 잘라 손톱을 고치려는 것과 같다.관리자가 자신의 행동에 대해 좀 더 책임감 있게 대처한다면 승진을 "별것 아닌 일"로 간주하기가 훨씬 쉬울 것입니다.Dragons편 2006년 1월 17일 19:47 (UTC)응답
  2. 그가 말한 것과 그 때문에 페이지의 temp de-admining 개념을 지지하고 있습니다.Rx StrangeLove 19:56, 2006년 1월 17일 (UTC)응답 [응답]
  3. 이건 별개의 문제라고 생각합니다.이걸 정의하는 건 아무것도 없어이 모든 것은 매우 따뜻하고 흐릿하지만 "책임감"을 정의하지 않으면 유용할 수 없습니다.Avriette 20:07, 2006년 1월 17일 (UTC)응답[응답]
  4. 물론이죠. 기준이 더 높아지면 많은 유능한 관리자들을 잃게 될 거예요.그러나 관리자의 책임도 높아야 합니다. 2006년 1월 17일 (UTC) 20:11 (응답)
  5. 그렇고 말고요.관리자를 효과적으로 평생 승진시키는 것에 대해 걱정할 필요가 없다면, 잘못된 승진에 대한 우려만큼 크지 않을 것입니다.관리가 '별 것 아닌' 상태로 유지되도록 하기 위해서는 합리적이고 커뮤니티 지향적인 관리 해제 프로세스가 필요합니다.20:18 (UTC ) 2006년 1월 17일 (UTC)응답[응답]
  6. 나는 주저하며 동의한다.관리 해제가 남용의 신호탄이 될 것 같아서 걱정이지만, 그래도 책임의 강화가 필요하다고 생각합니다.Seancdaug 21:16, 2006년 1월 17일 (UTC)응답[응답]
  7. 저는 이것이 표준 그 자체보다 이 부분에 대한 더 나은 뷰라고 생각합니다.편집이 적절하고, 그 사람이 정말로 주의를 기울이고 있다면, 1000회의 편집과 2개월이면 충분합니다.++Lar: t/c 03:26, 2006년 1월 18일 (UTC)응답[응답]
  8. 관리는 큰 문제가 되지 않습니다.또한 책임감을 증명한 담당자는 툴을 신뢰할 수 있습니다.그러나 그들은 그 신뢰를 남용해서는 안 된다.Sjakkalle (체크!) 2006년 1월 18일 07:12 (UTC)응답[응답]

  10. 데드민 프로세스를 시작하기 위한 요건은 간단하지 않아야 하지만 이 관점에도 동의합니다.예를 들어 POV-푸셔를 경계선 이상으로 차단한 사람을 죽일 수 있는 양말 퍼펫의 군대는 원하지 않는다(이 예는 노골적인 파괴 행위를 차단하는 것만큼 명확하지 않다). --Deathphoenix 16:46, 2006년 1월 18일 (UTC)응답
  11. DF가 말한 그대로야.대부분의 관리자는 이의를 제기할 수 없으며, 이의를 제기할 수 없는 많은 관리자는 초기에 배제될 수 없었을 것입니다.관리가 어려운 것보다 쉬운 관리가 훨씬 중요합니다.~~ N (t/c) 2006년 1월 19일 (UTC) 응답[응답]
  12. 위의 포스터에 전적으로 동의합니다.관리는 큰 문제가 되지 않고 명확한 절차뿐만 아니라 프로세스를 대상으로 하는 트롤을 방지하기 위한 사소한 요건도 포함하여 관리 해제가 가능해야 합니다.Warofdreamstalk 2006년 1월 19일 11:32 (UTC)응답[응답]
  13. 인정합니다.기준은 충분히 높지만 문제를 일으키는 소수의 경우 대처가 용이해야 합니다.- TaxmanTalk 2006년 1월 19일 (UTC)응답 [응답]
  14. 확실히 책임감이 더 필요합니다.관리자를 보호관찰하는 것이 더 쉬울 것이고, 사용자가 누가 관리자인지, 어디에 불만을 제기해야 하는지 쉽게 알 수 있을 것입니다.각 관리자 홈페이지의 필수 링크? --William Allen Simpson 22:57, 2006년 1월 21일 (UTC)응답[응답]
  15. 네, 물론입니다.대부분의 Admin 액션은 원래대로 되돌릴 수 없습니다.사용자가 올바른 작업을 할 수 있다고 생각되는 한, 매우 자유롭게 프로모션을 실시해도 문제가 없다고 생각합니다.Werdna648T/\C@ 00:57, 2006년 1월 23일 (UTC)응답[응답]
  16. Nickptar의 의견에 동의해.관리보다 관리 해제가 더 중요합니다.숨김 2006년 1월 23일 (UTC) 16:56 (응답)
  17. 파워의 사용법이 중요합니다.- 메일러 디아블로 18:27, 2006년 1월 23일 (UTC)응답
  18. 물론입니다.누군가가 미래에 훌륭한 행정가가 될 수 있을지 판단하는데 심령술사 역할을 하는 것은 때때로 어렵다.이미 관리자로서 현재 적합하지 않다고 판단되는 경우, 관리를 해제하는 것도 큰 문제가 되지 않습니다.- Bobet 15:12, 2006년 1월 24일 (UTC)응답[응답]
  19. 맞아요.기준을 낮춰야 할 관리자가 더 필요합니다.수요 증가는 관리자에게 엘리트 계층이라는 인식을 심어줄 뿐입니다.소수의 트러블 메이커를 구제하기 위한 보다 좋은 메카니즘이 필요합니다:)- Haukur 09:21, 2006년 1월 25일 (UTC)응답[응답]

  21. 이 말에 전적으로 동의해.특권을 없애는 것은 최소한 그것을 허용하는 것만큼 쉬워야 한다; 나는 손해의 용이함이 손익의 용이함과 반비례해야 한다고 생각한다.사용자 페이지를 참조해 주세요.여기서 1, 2주 동안 간단한 데드마이너십에 대해 논쟁을 벌였습니다.: 시뮬레이션 (토크 • 기여)2006년 1월 27일 (UTC)응답[응답]

  31. 저는 여전히 기준을 높여야 한다고 생각하지만, 이제는 연지 관리자들이 그들의 행동에 대해 책임을 져야 할 라고 생각합니다.내 13번째 공리가 들어맞다니 유감이다.joturner 2006년 5월 15일 (UTC) 20:08 (응답)
  32. 책임감이 없다면 승진은 훨씬 더 심각한 결정이 될 것이다.책임감 덕분에 사람들이 무엇을 할지 정확하게 예측할 수 있는 부담 없이 쉽게 기회를 얻을 수 있습니다.Timothy Usher 23:27, 2006년 5월 26일 (UTC)응답[응답]
  33. 물론, 위키피디아의 원칙은 잘못된 것으로 판명될 때까지 성의를 갖는 것입니다.우리는 항상 더 많은 관리자를 사용할 수 있으며, 대부분은 훌륭한 작업을 수행할 수 있습니다.툴을 남용하는 사람에게 엄중한 책임을 지게 되면, 나쁜 툴을 신속히 배제하면서 충분한 관리자를 확보할 수 있습니다.Cool3 2006년 5월 31일 21:08 (UTC) 답장[응답]

이는 기대 사항이지 표준(관리 표준)이 아닙니다.

  1. 나는 이것이 기준보다는 표현된 기대라고 생각한다.지역 사회 전체가 RFA 후보자에게 더 많은 기대를 걸고 투표해야 한다고 생각합니다.개인적으로는 '관리직'의 시대는 지나갔다고 생각합니다.Katefan0(scribble)/mrp 18:38, 2006년 1월 17일 (UTC)응답[응답]

    • 관리자는 Wikipedia 커뮤니티의 예가 아니며 관리자가 오류를 범할 수 있습니다.관리는 별거 아닙니다.그렇게까지 생각하지 마세요.
    • 관리자는 간단히 말해 페이지 삭제나 사용자 차단 등의 위키피디아 도구에 대한 접근성이 높은 사람입니다.미디어(이미지)를 제외하고 관리자가 미리 작성하는 거의 모든 것은 "복귀 가능"합니다(또한 취약점이나 버그 등 몇 가지 사항에 대해 논의하기에는 불편합니다).
    • 투표는 당사자가 관리 도구를 적절하게 사용하고 그 과정에서 바보가 아니라고 생각하느냐에 따라 실시해야 합니다.

  3. 우리는 공식적인 표준을 가지고 있지 않기 때문에, "비공식적인" 표준은 위키피디아에 의해 설정될 것이며, 시간이 지남에 따라 이미 그렇게 될 것이다.나는 이것이 계속 그렇게 할 것이라고 믿는다; 우리는 이미 (대부분) 관리를 받을 자격이 있는 좋은 위키피디아인들을 지명하고 있다.Flcelloguy (주) 2006년 1월 21일 23:19 (UTC) 답장[응답]
  4. 코멘트:개인 기준: 1) 편집자는 충분한 시간을 두고 Wikipedia의 다양한 영역에서 충분한 편집을 했어야 합니다.그러면 관리자라는 추가 특권을 문제없이 사용할 수 있다는 확신을 가질 수 있습니다.2) 는 프로젝트 네임스페이스를 편집하는 폭넓은 경험을 가지고 있어야 합니다.그리고 위키피디아 네임스페이스는 위키피디아에 있는 많은 구석과 구석구석을 탐색하여 위키피디아 규칙과 가이드라인 및 불문서의 절차와 전통에 대한 지식을 습득하고 새로운 관리자 권한을 사용하기 시작할 때 문제를 일으키지 않도록 할 것입니다.이 두 가지 요건을 충족하지 못하면 관리자가 될 준비가 안 된 것 같습니다.BlankVerse 2006년 1월 21일 23:54 (UTC) 응답[응답]
  5. 나는 차단 정책의 저지가 필수적이라고 생각한다.WP에서는 콘텐츠 분쟁에서 관리자와의 의견 불일치를 이유로 사용자를 차단하거나 길이 또는 무기한 차단에 관한 논의가 빈번하다.AN 및 WP:AN/I. RFA에서 "언제 차단하시겠습니까/차단하지 않으시겠습니까?"와 같은 질문을 받는 후보도 있지만 그렇지 않은 후보도 있습니다.차단(및 보호) 정책에 대한 후보자의 이해도를 확인할 수 있는 메커니즘이 있어야 한다고 생각합니다.예를 들어 몇 가지 질문이 있습니다.의식 2006년 1월 22일 10:20 (UTC) 응답[응답]

반대(RFA 참정권)

  1. 강하게 반대하다.첫째, RfA는 투표가 아니라 공감대를 형성하는 메커니즘입니다.관료들은 지역사회의 합의를 평가하는 데 적합하다고 생각되는 표를 없앨 수 있고, 그렇게 할 것이다.둘째, 위키피디아 커뮤니티를 '편집자'를 넘어 계층화하려는 어떠한 시도도 중요한 문제로 이어지며, 그 중 가장 큰 문제는 자원봉사자 풀에 영향을 미칠 가능성이 높다.우리 모두가 그렇듯이셋째, 참정권이 RfA를 괴롭히는 문제를 "해결"할 수 있다는 증거가 있는가?의심스럽네요. --Durin 19:32, 2006년 1월 17일 (UTC)응답[응답]

  2. Durin의 의견에 동의해.관료들은 누구의 표를 세고 누가 세지 않을지 결정할 수 있다.참정권 요건 또한 교습에 관한 것이다.RfA는 AfD보다 '엘리트주의'가 되어서는 안 됩니다. 2006년 1월 17일 (UTC) 20:13 (응답)

  3. 아니요, RFA에 대한 논평은 누구에게나 열려 있어야 합니다.만약 누군가가 새로 만들어진 계정이라면, 그것은 항상 언급되며 'crats'는 그러한 고려사항을 고려할 수 있다.참정권 제한은 RFA가 컨센서스가 아닌 엄격한 투표임을 의미한다.--CBD 21:33, 2006년 1월 17일(UTC)응답

기존 관리자

관리자는 1) 관련된 편집 분쟁의 페이지를 보호하거나 2) 이전에 사용자와 경합이 있었을 때 차단하거나 3) 다른 관리자에 의해 특별히 차단되었을 때 차단 해제해서는 안 된다는 것을 이미 알고 있습니다.그 밖에도 논란이 있는 것 같은 관리 액션이 몇 가지 있습니다.

  3. 현재의 문제(일부 관리자, 특히 거의 모든 관리자)는 이들의 권력 남용입니다.편집은 누구나 할 수 있기 때문에 관리자가 특정 기사에 대해 이상한 태도를 취해도 직권남용이 아닙니다.단, 편집 전쟁 중에 관리자가 어떤 방법으로든 자신의 관리 권한을 "미어" 사용자의 머리를 덮기 위한 일종의 검으로 사용하려고 할 경우(즉, 기사의 토크 페이지에서 관리자의 최근 편집을 변경한 사용자가 몇 분 후에 차단될 수 있음을 은근히 암시함), 이는 심각하게 다루어져야 합니다.마치 관리자가 실제 권력 남용을 강행한 것처럼요즉, 편집 전쟁(또는 Wikipedia 상의 다른 논쟁)에서 이기기 위해 사용자를 침묵시키는 위협은 실제로 위협을 실행하든 하지 않든 간에 "관리 액션"으로 간주해야 합니다. -Aaron 19:05, 2006년 1월 17일 (UTC)응답

  1. 나는 이것이 "관리직은 별것 아니다"와 상충된다고 생각한다.관리자는 일반 편집자와 마찬가지로 편집에 관한 분쟁이 발생할 수 있습니다.또한 권한을 남용하지 않는 한 크게 신경 쓰지 않습니다.Android79 18:36, 2006년 1월 17일 (UTC)응답[응답]
    • 현시점에서는, 피어로부터의 압력이나 매우 긴 RFAr 이외에는, 잘못된 행동을 하는 관리자에게 책임을 물을 방법이 없다는 것이 큰 문제입니다.차단하면 스스로 차단 해제될 수 있습니다.문서를 보호하더라도 문서를 편집할 수 있습니다.또, 「정기」편집자와의 전쟁을 편집하는 경우, 항상 상대방을 차단 또는 금지할 수 있는 명시되지 않은 위협이 있습니다.18:59, 2006년 1월 17일 (UTC)응답
    • 가이드라인에 기재되어 있는 내용에 관계없이, 관리는 큰 일입니다.Wikipedia의 초창기에는 큰 문제가 아니었을지 모르지만, 요즘은 아무도 그냥 앉아서 몇 번 편집하고 일주일 후에 관리자로 선출되는 사람이 없다.표결에서 살아남기 위해서는 (어차피 편집 횟수는 아니지만) 긴 문서 흔적과 비교적 깨끗한 이력이 필요합니다. --Aaron 19:08, 2006년 1월 17일 (UTC)응답

  8. 그래, 나탈리나스프관리자가 되고 싶지도 않고 도움이 될 것 같지도 않지만, "편집자"도 책임 있는 직책입니다.몇 가지 일반적인 점:
  • 관리자가 되는 것은 매우 쉽지만, 관리자가 관리 해제되는 경우는 거의 없기 때문에 '임기'되어 있는 것은 이상한 시스템입니다.대부분의 조직에서는 고용이 쉬우면 해고되기 쉬우며, 그렇지 않으면 해고(유예)되기 어렵다면 그 자리를 얻기가 어렵습니다.
  • "admin"은 별것 아닙니다.사람들은 내가 만든 행정관이라고 떠들어댄다.그들은 "오, 그들이 나를 관리인으로 만들었다"고 말하고, 아마도 더 많은 관리직 지명을 거절해야 할 것이다.아마도 새로운 관리자는 작업이 필요하지만 너무 지루하고 아무도 작업하고 싶지 않은 기사를 작성하도록 강요해야 할 것입니다.
  1. 관리자는 동료가 책임을 져야 합니다.일반 사용자는 발언권을 가질 수 없습니다.저는 "토끼"들 사이에서 다소 인기가 없는 몇몇 관리자들을 알고 있습니다. 왜냐하면 그들은 온갖 추악하지만 필요한 블록과 개입으로 손을 더럽히기 때문입니다.하지만 그들은 확실히 동료들 사이에서 평판이 좋다.--CydeWEYS 2006년 5월 26일 23:45 (UTC) 응답[응답]

Disagree (wheel warring)

  1. Existing alleged cases of wheel warring appear to be deletion/undeletion cases and a sign of the ongoing tension between process and content. See recent arbitrator comments in rejecting a case brought by Radiant, and also Warren Benbow for a case where repeated undeletion was required to keep an article in a state where the AfD could proceed. The article was kept unanimously. --Tony SidawayTalk 20:15, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    • Since the article would also have been kept if you hadn't wheel warred over it, I fail to see what your point is. Radiant_> < 20:47, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    • The fact that wheel warring can occasionally end up at a good result, does not make it a good strategy for getting things done. Dragons flight 21:10, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
      • Gosh lots of comments. I'll register polite disagreement on both points. In fact I challenge the use of the term "wheel war", which implies an abuse of power, when alll that is happening here is a difference of opinion on how that power should be used in the interests of Wikipedia. Sometimes not taking administrator action can be more damaging than taking it. --Tony SidawayTalk 21:44, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
        • I sympathize but I believe repeatedly redoing admin actions stems from a false sense of urgency. In almost all instances, there is time enough to discuss, and even in cases where something bad sabotages a discussion it can be redone for that reason. DemiT/C 22:34, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    • I am going to repeat a quote I ran across... it's from an administrator I really admire, even if he's human and sometimes does things I don't agree with. What is this about running out of time? Wikipedia is not a multiplayer game, it's not a time-critical affair. If something needs to be done, it'll wait until tomorrow, or most likely someone else will do it if it urgently needs to be done. I think Tony would do well to heed those words. Which administrator said them is left as an exercise to the reader, at least for now. ++Lar: t/c 16:34, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  3. Disagree - you could say that wheel-warring is inappropriate, but it isn't inappropriate use of admin powers, because that supposes that it could be done without admin powers. More importantly, the ability of admins to undo the actions of other admins serves as a check on other admins. Guettarda 03:43, 19 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Other (wheel warring)

  1. Of course "wheel warring" (what a strange term) is a bad thing. However, given that blocking a user means revoking their editing privileges, and given that some blocks are indefinite, there need to be reasonable processes in place to review and undo unfair blocks. When an admin is overstepping blocking policy, this needs to be reverted. It is important to have peace and harmony among administrators, but it is equally important to be welcoming and not to bite newbies. Whenever possible, disagreements over blocking should be resolved in discussions, of course, but sometimes it may be desirable to hold a poll. An admin who feels that they are backed up by common sense, process and policy in reverting another admin's block should not be accused of "wheel warring" unless they do so repeatedly.--Eloquence* 02:58, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    I"d like to mention that the name comes from the user group "wheel" that is commonly found on unix systems. It's between users and root, but actual permissions depend on configuration and file ownership. --Phroziac.o º O (♥♥♥♥ chocolate!) 04:19, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  2. Wheel warring is bad. Deciding what constitutes a wheel war, however, is tricky. Who gets to make the call? Certainly, the two parties in the dispute can't make that determination. If they were level-headed enough to be seriously thinking about the consequences of a wheel war, they would be very unlikely to be in such a dispute in the first place. I guess I'm not sure what question this section of the poll is supposed to answer. Rossami(talk) 04:08, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  3. It's only wrong if it's not solving anything. If we wheel wared over blocking a rogue admin who was unblocking himself to vandalize the front page, 1/2 of the wheel war would be right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hipocrite (talkcontribs)

  4. I agree with Hipocrite. - ulayiti(talk) 22:13, 19 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  5. I think that this is usually wrong, but I believe that it's more important to ensure that users are not unfairly blocked. Also, one undeletion or unblock does not a wheel war make, and punishing people for a single action like some people appear to be suggesting above doesn't make sense. JYolkowski // talk 01:28, 20 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  6. Clearly admins occasionally do dumb stuff with their powers. If one does such a stupid thing, it should be undone by another admin. If they redo it, that's when I'd say it becomes wrong, and reundoing it wouldn't be wrong. Unless, of course, when there's consensus for the other side. But who decides whether there's consensus?

    Like any wiki-style powers, some degree of reverting is perfectly normal and healthy, it's when reverting takes the place of discussion that things are out of hand. —Simetrical (talkcontribs) 04:52, 27 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  3. Absolutely agree.

  9. Agree with Durin. I can understand ignoring a particular vote or the wishes of a small group of people in favor of a broader community consensus, but I have little tolerance for those that blindly ignore and disregard the consensus building mechanisms built into Wikipedia in favor of pushing their own agenda. Dragons flight 20:01, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  10. This really is a tough one. With the constant flood of new users, many of whom seem more interested in other aspects of Wikipedia than building an encyclopedia, consensus can and does get it wrong sometimes. I will say this: going against a consensus of trusted users (roughly speaking, admins), is always wrong, unless you're Jimbo. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 20:09, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Note that Jimbo recently discerned consensus by noting a lack of activity of admins to undo something that had been done. I don't think Jimbo's particularly interested in real consensus. That to me is one of the fundamental issues; the culture being supported is subversion of consensus when common sense thinks you should. Except, common sense isn't the same across cultures, borders, and continents. Thus, dispute. --Durin 21:03, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    I don't think Jimbo should be particularly interested in real consensus. Wikipedia needs layers that cut through all the process and bureaucracy. Without it, we become more government than encyclopedia. However, right now the only member of the layer that has the power to cut through the red tape by fiat is Jimbo. My problem is with Admins who self-declare themselves as belonging to that same layer. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 22:37, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  13. Obviously legal issues (copyvio, libel, etc.) can't be based only on consensus, nor can WP:NPOV and a handful of other basic Foundation policies.

  14. Strongly agree. I too have seen cases of admins trying to dodge consensus building. For example, proposing a controversial change on an infrequently-visited talk page during the middle of the Christmas holidays (see Talk:List of Polish monarchs), getting a few people into the discussion to agree with them, then ignoring any other objections and rapidly proceeding as though they had a consensus.

  34. Agree, but equally as important is not acting before there is a consensus. If something that requires admin powers to do is against policy or no policy exists, the admin should ask other users before making the change (unless it is not controversial in any way). IAR should not be used for actions that only an admin can undo, just regular editing. If there's something that they want to do in the spirit of IAR, they should ask other users first (and not just their friends). If it's truly for the good of the encyclopedia, most editors will usually agree. There are a few cases where an action would be in the best interest of the encyclopedia but doesn't gain consensus. In that case, it should be taken to a higher authority. -- Kjkolb 13:02, 19 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  35. Agree, ignoring consensus is inappropriate for an admin, if a consensus has been sought or established.

Yes, but copyvio/NPOV concerns trump consensus

  1. As written above, it's too sweeping a statement. As an example, an AFD discussion may show apparent consensus to keep a particular article but if evidence shows it to be a copyright violation, it has to go. We can't just "vote" to overturn copyright laws. Likewise, a discussion's apparent consensus to delete an article which would result in a violation of GFDL can not be supported.
    I believe that consensus should be respected. Decision-making through consensus-seeking is one of our core principles. But there are some situations where you have to do what's best for the encyclopedia and, if necessary, take the consequences. Overruling the consensus of a particular discussion on a point of principle or policy should be done rarely and is always subject to review. If the deciding admin is found to have been in error, some form of censure may be appropriate. Rossami(talk) 04:21, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Don't be silly. Even if it were deleted, it would still be in use. Common sense beats any policy that could ever be written down. And we need to use a hell of a lot more common sense than we do now. But, IAR should never be used as a reason for doing something. If anyone argues about it, either tell them why they're wrong, or apologize. Ever mentioning IAR anywhere is likely to attract IAR lynchmobs, which don't help ANYTHING. They won't get IAR deleted, they won't make the use of it change *at all*. They'll just annoy people. I hate overly bureaucratic crap, such as real life governments. "I made 4 reverts in 25 hours! I did not violate 3RR!" is a perfect example of a complaint from a ruleslawyer that was blocked through IAR. In real life, they put teens that are under the age of consent on sex offender lists and jail them, for having sex with other people under the age of consent, but of very similar age. And if the age of consent is 16, someone 17 could have sex with a 15 year old and get busted for "statutory rape". Do you see a problem with that? Legal crap doesn't tend to use much comomn sense. This post could be shortened to two sentences: IAR doesn't do anything. Common sense, or lack thereof does. Oh, and i'm not against age of consent laws. They just need to be enforced and written with common sense. --Phroziac.o º O (♥♥♥♥ chocolate!) 04:35, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I don't care if everyone on the bloody 'pedia wants to use a fair use image where it would obviously be inadmissible, it's got to go. I also think consensus isn't going to scale for very much longer as a method of decision-making. It should always form the backbone of Wikipedia, because a wiki's nature depends on consensus, but I think at some point we'll need to have other inputs into decision-making, probably from Jimbo/the board or something like that. But that's immaterial. The point is; don't ignore consensus unless you have a bloody good reason to. JohnleemkTalk 13:04, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  12. Many recent events that suggest a small number of admins repeatedly abuse WP:IAR as a tactic to prod the community (e.g. to draw attention to a pet issue, to create a community turmoil that might break up a logjam or deadlock). Typically, the ensuing hostilities are more damaging than the original problem was. For the instigator, a pet issue is addressed, albeit at the cost of harming the community. More and more, the response is, "A mistake was made. Move on and forget about it." There is no disincentive to repeating the charade.

  7. In my experience, most admins do not know what Wikipedia:Vandalism is all about. Too often they take any content dispute for vandalism and use rollback button gratuitously just to show off. As an aside, rollback summary with its "block" function may appear intimidating to good faith editors who dare oppose an admin. Anyone who used rollback button to revert non-vandalism and to save time required for an edit summary, say, five times, should be defrocked as a matter of course. --Ghirlatalk 19:15, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  8. Agreed. If you're not reverting vandalism, then explain what you are doing in the edit summary (and why). --Durin 19:37, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  9. Absolutely, once you get past vandalism it becomes too gray of an area just to rollback with no comment. And WP:RFR is probably going to become active at some point so there will be a substantial increase in the number of non-admin editors will rollback power. Some pretty clear guidelines in it's use will prevent issues. Rx StrangeLove 20:13, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  10. On balance I agree with this (not least because my vandalism monitoring tool assumes that rollbacks are mostly for vandalism) but in principle the rollback button is just a nice quick (and accurate) way of reverting. If like most of us you don't revert that much except for simple vandalism, it doesn't make a lot of difference. --Tony SidawayTalk 20:19, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  11. Aside from the caveat that "vandalism" needs to be very explicitly defined, I see no reason for the revert tool to be used when a hand-edit and an edit summary will help everyone understand what was done and why. See also, "talk page." People seem to have forgotten that it is possible to edit without the revert button. Avriette 20:24, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  12. Agree. Other edits require an edity summary. Otherwise is not civil and an abuse of privileges. ≈ jossi ≈t@ 22:45, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  13. It is taken by many users to mean this, so I revert the everyday way and explain the reason why if it's not appropriate. -- Francs2000 00:17, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  14. Always explain your reverts has been a basic principle and policy for a long time. Rollback fails to provide an explanation by itself... the edit summary just gives dry information. Obviously, no explanation is needed for clear vandalism, but if rollback is opened up to allow people to do more than what developer Brion Vibber said that it is intended for, people are going to start forgetting to explain reverts, and just push the button. -- Netoholic @ 06:40, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  15. Admittedly, I'm yet to see a case where rollback has been used as part of an edit war to prevent easy reverts, but the opportunity is just sitting there waiting to be abused. While the definition of vandalism varies (I have a broad definition of it, including seemingly innocuous POV edits as seen on Abortion) there should be checks on what exactly rollback is used for. If there's doubt, revert should be used. JamyskisWhisper, ContribsGermany 12:39, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  16. Yes, edit summaries are necessary for cases of non-vandalism. Seeing the standard reversion text is pretty much saying "I am reverting your vandalism" or "Self-revert". --Deathphoenix 16:54, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  19. Maybe it's just because I only do vandalfighting, but I wasn't aware that that rollback button had any other purpose. I don't see how codifying this would harm anyone. Mo0[talk] 22:41, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Oh yeah, and while I'm thinking about this, every administrator, at one point, had to manually insert all edit summaries. Why does the rollback button suddenly make this too hard? Do admin powers break the fingers of all who have them, or something? Mo0[talk] 22:45, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  20. Strong agree. Any well-meaning editor deserves an edit summary when reverted. The rollback button is associated with fighting vandals. Any editor reverted with the rollback button will feel that his/her edits are just as worthless/harmful as vandalism, and not worth an explanation for why the reversion took place. While I don't want any strong rules, I implore admins to not be lazy and give very careful thought and considerte attention when reverting somebody's edits. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 03:03, 19 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    PS There may be exeptions when one must use the rollback button, as in the case of mass reversions of incorrect edits. But please, please, please, use common sense and a human touch. Anybody having a pattern of using the rollback button against fellow editors on a regular basis does not have the necessary sensibility to wield admin powers. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 01:17, 19 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  21. I agree. Conceptually the rollback is not merely a revert to a previous version, it's discarding the contributions of a user. DemiT/C 08:00, 19 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  23. Agree, although I have seen this done only once to a good faith user (not me), it was once too often. It wasn't of course just one edit that was being rolled back but many, some of the comments below as to what was the difference between one click and three do not apply - hundreds of clicks (including useful edit summaries) would have been required to do the same--A Y Arktos 20:47, 19 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  28. Absolutely agree. Edit summaries are very important. In addition, because rollbacks are marked as minor edits, admins misusing the rollback utility are often not noticed. Stifle 09:06, 26 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  29. Blatant vandalism doesn't need an explanation. Self-reverts don't need an explanation. Everything else (including edits to other people's user pages, for instance) may confuse people who aren't specifically familiar with Wikipedia customs, i.e., newbies. The same, of course, applies to any reversion, or indeed any edit: if the reason is obvious, you don't really need to bother using a summary. Otherwise, you should. —Simetrical (talkcontribs) 05:18, 27 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Although, to be clear, I take this as including "newbies not really understanding what the buttons do" under blatant vandalism, which it definitely shouldn't. The question should have been clearer, so I'm going by what I think is its intent. —Simetrical (talkcontribs) 05:18, 27 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  30. Agree, the rollback button is so easy and so convenient that I find myself tempted to use it often instead of manual reversion. I'm sure this is true of other admins, but I don't think it's generally appropriate. – Quadell(talk) (bounties) 15:53, 27 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  33. ONLY For malicious activity such as vandalism and spam. Revert your own self manually. There should be diferent rollback buttons which adds "Reverting Vandalism" or "Reverting Spam" as well as perhaps customazible ones for other malicious activity.

  5. who cares? it just saves a tiny bit of time. if you want to leave an edit summary explaining the reason, don't use it. sometimes a simple statement of the revert is edit summary enough. Derex 19:11, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  27. Instruction creep. Give me a way to distinguish vandalism from non-vandalism that will be acceptable to everyone before I can support an idea like this.

  33. Use your common sense. There are exceptions as Zoe says, as NSLE and other pointed, there's Godmode-light, unless we enforce not using godmode-light to revert only blatant vandalism, enforcing the same for the rollback button is kinda strange (since the netresult of godmode-light is exectly the same), ah and I also forget the popups assisted reversions. -- ( drini's page ) 20:24, 25 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  36. Obviously admins shouldn't rollback changes with abandon, but there are plenty of non-vandal reverts that don't necessarily require an edit summary.

Rollback should never be used in content disputes

  1. Rather than saying where it can be used, how about we say where it cannot be used. The current wording at WP:RFR defines misuse of rollback as using it in content disputes. I think this is a fair definition. Talrias (tec) 10:29, 19 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  17. Rollback should definitely not be such a big deal. It's just an interface, and it should be improved (and made available to more people!) But the current rollback, with no comment, should only be used for vandalism. rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 21:42, 24 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  19. A redone rollback with categories seems appropriate; if it doesn't change, I think non-vandal rollbacks are inappropriate.--ragesoss 23:39, 27 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  20. Instead of forbidding useful functionality, the functionality should be expanded: There should be a small text input box next to the rollback button. If you enter something and press rollback, it is used as the edit summary and it is the same as a regular manual revert (not marked minor). If you don't enter anything, it uses the standard edit summary and behaves like the current vandalism rollback. — Omegatron 03:43, 30 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  21. The rollback feature should be modified to accept edit summaries and a list of checkboxes to pick the most common reasons for rollbacks (vandalism, newbie edits, copyright vios, etc). Having both of these options would allow for more explanations and still keep the advantage of speed that the rollback button has. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 07:32, 12 March 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  7. Agree. If you don't have functional email or won't let wikipedia's send email from wikipedia, don't impose blocks.

Disagree (admin emails)

  1. Admins should not have to regularly check their email for flamemail. The admin's talkpage should be open to edits by the blocked user. freestylefrappe 01:33, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  2. Admins should not have to expose themselves to outside harassment. Sending mailbombs or signing someone up for spam is too gorram easy. Admins who block should read WikiEN-L or whatever other forum blocked users are directed to post to. --FOo 04:31, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Last time I saw it, the block messge only directs blocked users to email the admin. Blocked users can also edit their own userpage, but I don't think this is mentioend in the message. DES(talk) 20:21, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    My impression was that the built-in MediaWiki e-mail doesn't give out the recipient's e-mail address. It just lets you send via a form, and gives the recipient your e-mail. So you could be bombarded by hatemail through Wikipedia, but you couldn't be signed up to spam lists unless you respond via e-mail (you could always respond on their talk page). —Simetrical (talkcontribs) 05:21, 27 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Mediawiki doesn't show them your address. As long as you don't reply to them, they would have to send their annoyances through the Mediawiki contact form. If you're that worried about it, get disposable email accounts. — Omegatron 04:13, 4 February 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  5. Disagree. It's an easy enough modification to Mediawiki to allow banned users to post on say "Wikipedia:Unblock me please" or on the talk page of the admin who issued the ban (with the obvious problem that it would result in admins' user pages being vandalised even more than they are already). I get well over 100 spam emails per day and I don't need flames added to that. I'm not paid to be an admin, after all. --kingboyk 13:04, 12 March 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  6. Disagree. I do have my e-mail link active because of current community standards, but I only block for non-controversial reasons (obvious spamming, repeat vandalism in the face of warnings) and don't see any reason to read flame mail about it while at work. Blocked users should be able to leave messages on admin talk page(s); that's fine. brighterorange (talk) 18:11, 5 April 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  7. I don't see any reason why admins should be required to provide their email addresses. The current method of requesting an unblock on one's talk page is sufficient, and after the block expires any issues with a specific admin can be taken up on their talk page. --Hetar 03:24, 8 April 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  5. A few things. Firstly, I would appreciate some sort of equivalent to "you have new messages" if I get a private email through Wikipedia, at least telling me to check my email, ie. "A Wikipedia user has emailed you". Secondly, I remember there were plans to selectively ban users from certain articles, but not others - when will this be implemented? An inverse could hold true - ban a user from all articles except talkpage, blocking admin, noticeboard, etc. which could be selected as necessary. Some people (ie. anons) also abuse their talk page privileges too much, to the extent we have to protect it. We should be able to implement some cap on the rate of emails, posting on talk pages, etc. etc. if necessary (ie. hate flood mails, or hate messages)...also, the template:unblock function should be extended to the software - an equivalent to the "you have new messages" kind of alert would be received if a user an administrator blocked tried to appeal.

Also, while I agree with the statement, I'm a bit hesitant about supporting that statement, because I don't want to discourage potential admins who don't have email enabled.

  9. Some way of contacting, definitely. But not necessarily e-mail. Being allowed to edit WP:AN and the blocker's talk page might be the way to go (with links added to the "blocked" system message), but of course it would then be necessary to have a mechanism for blocking someone from those too if they vandalize them. —Simetrical (talkcontribs) 05:23, 27 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  10. Novel idea: I do have an e-mail address attached to my username, and I used to have it freely displayed on my userpage, but I don't check it as often as I probably should, even though it is my only e-mail address. What might be useful, especially for me, is a feature that triggers a "you have new e-mail" notice, similar to the one for talk page messages. This could let me know whenever somebody (incapable of posting to my talk page due to a block) has used the "Email this user" feature and remind me to check it. — FREAK OF NURxTURE (TALK) 10:23, Feb. 8, 2006
  11. Actually, I have no problems with users being able to email me on Wikipedia, as per Freakofnurture above but with the message being stored on the Wikimedia servers not in my inbox. --kingboyk 13:06, 12 March 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  16. Arbcom's job is to resolve disputes in the Wikipedia community. I must admit that I'm baffled that they did not take the cases involving the userbox fiasco. This is perhaps our most contentious issue, and one that has the potential to literally tear the community apart. (The amount of digital venom spewed over this issue, on both sides, is astounding.) And Arbcom refused to listen. Hopefully, the new election will result in an arbitration committee more willing to act when necessary. That said, I think that it would make sense to have a process besides Arbcom to handle cases where an admin no longer has community consensus. (Note that this would not even necessarily entail a specific finding of wrongdoing - it is simply that administrators must have the continued trust and support of the Wikipedia community.)

Disagree (ArbCom de-adminning)

  1. We should avoid turning ArbCom into the 'de-adminning body'. They should be resolving disputes and only get involved in de-adminship in the rarest of cases. That said... if no other means of de-adminning becomes available then the ArbCom will have to take it on more. I just think this isn't the best way to do it. --CBD 18:55, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  2. The arbcom can't have anything to do with de-opping. It is a conflict of interest. Administrators have to be accountable to the editors that they administer to for the problems implicit in this poll to ever be resolved. --Rudolf Nixon 23:44, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  6. I'd expect the arbcom to make a decision based on what they feel to be appropriate based on the situation rather than being a crowd pleaser.

  1. Some body, not necessarily the ArbCom...should be less hesitant about de-adminning admins who violate Wikipedia rules. --Syrthiss 19:15, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  2. Members of ArbCom have stated they are not a punitive body. It is not their job to be applying punitive measures. If that is the case, then ArbCom is not the appropriate body to be bringing deadminship pleas to. Instead, we need another body for handling such functions. Are such functions needed? I say yes; it isn't enough to just get a promise from someone that they won't do "X" again. We don't let criminals loose because they promise not to do it again. There does need to be consequences for negative behavior, else we encourage anarchy. In small communities this is not needed. But, we're not a small community anymore. --Durin 19:39, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  3. I would prefer a community based solution to reassessing and removing adminship. A more aggressive Arbcom is a possible, but less desirable option. Dragons flight 20:17, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  4. I agree with this on principle, but I am concerned with the notion that ArbCom personnel may feel compelled to vote one way or the other due to political considerations. If they "traded" arbcom status for admin status, there would not be concern about getting into a subsequent political entanglement. I think this needs to be thought out a little more. Avriette 20:26, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    • What political considerations? Shouldn't they be neutral? Isn't the whole point that 'adminship' is a role, not a "status"? ArbCom members may very well need admin tools like delete histories to get to the root of a matter; I don't see why we should require them to give that up. -- nae'blis(talk) 05:04, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
      • The point is that regardless of whether it should be a role or a status, some users have made it a status. elsewhere the issue has been raised (correctly, in my opinion) of voter blocs, professional voters, etc. ArbCom can't possibly be free of this. Removing them from the possibility of being swayed one way or another by affiliations with other users whould ensure (one hopes) a less partial process.

  12. I don't know if ArbCom is the correct body to enforce this or not, but I think the threshold for de-adminning an admin needs to be much lower. The process needs to be open and accessible to non-admins, as they are often the ones at a disadvantage in disputes with admins. I think there should be a particularly low threshold to de-admin an admin that abuses their powers to control the content of the encyclopedia, either through blocks, rollbacks or (un)deleting pages or that uses their powers to circumvent process. – Doug Belltalkcontrib 19:05, 1 February 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  13. I have my doubts about arbcom/some arbcomers since my case, however I agree deadminship should be a simple process. However since arbcom is overwhelmed with much more serious cases (admin abuse is not a serious problem, at very worse a burocrat can end the misery of an admin out of control) maybe burocrats should vote among themselves like arbcom. Again this process(es) should NOT give trolls any breathing room. --Cool CatTalk @ 20:53, 9 February 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Someone should have the authority to temporarily de-admin problematic admins

In other words, troublesome admins might lose their admin rights for e.g. a week. A steward or dev can do this, and possibly this could be added to the bureaucrat abilities.

  5. This needs to be the first step in handling admins who are disruptive, not following policy and/or wheel warring. I think this should be implemented independently of any discussion about RFA improvements. In the same manner as we temp block editors, temp de-opping will help focus an admins attention. I'd like to see a bureaucrat be able to place one of these blocks for a day with no other input or discussion. In particular, this would be effective in stopping wheel wars from spreading. Rx StrangeLove 19:15, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  6. Agree and propose that a blocked admin should lose access to sysop powers for the duration of the block as well as editing powers.

  13. In an edit war, the participants are blocked until they cool down and banned if they can't keep their cool.

  22. Yes, although I'd call it "suspension" and I'd give the power to any two admins, with an additional 12 hours for each additional admin above 2. It would be for at least 1 day, and at most 1 week (14+ admins are unlikely), and could not be re-invoked within a "probation" period of the same length (the next step during such a probation period would always be permanent).

  6. Wikipedia runs best on consensus. We vote for the ArbCom members, they decide on admin privileges in these cases.

  7. No one but Jimbo or the ArbCom; I agree with Harro5. I wouldn't trust anyone else in acting unilaterally in these situations. Administrators have passed through RfA, a rigorous process that I usually do trust (I recently commented in an RfA poll that I've seen several candidates get their candidacies destroyed when somebody uncovered one bad edit), so to allow one user to override that is a mistake. From the userboxes controversy alone, one can see the potentially destructive effects of a single user acting unilaterally. However, if the whole ArbCom (or several members of it) acts, then there is enough accountability there to keep one user from revoking another's adminship simply because they don't like a particular admin. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 23:49, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

For instance, once per (time period), if (X) users (or X admins) express disapproval of an admin, that admin is subject to an RFA-like process for reconfirmation.

  4. It would have to be implemented carefully, but I think 'term limits' for admins make alot of sense. I don't think there should be a 'nomination for de-admin' aspect to it, just every 6 or 12 months put admins up for 'decertification'. Could make removal of admin status subject to the same sort of consensus as gaining the status in the first place. --CBD 00:26, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  5. Perhaps with an excusal mechanism (as in jury selection)... it should be easier to deadmin someone than admin them, but admin should not be "for life". If the mechanisms for deadminning are corrected, term limits may not be necessary. An admin that has made a lot of enemies??? Maybe that admin needs a break, let someone else step up. We're here to write an encyclopedia and an ex admin can still write good articles. ++Lar: t/c 03:42, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  6. While this is a logistical nightmare (making this an agree in principle but neutral in the real worldTM), I think this would probably be the best way to make deadminning easier. There has to be some sort of accountability. And regarding the potential for trolling, that's what 'crats are for, right?

  10. Kevin baas 21:29, 18 January 2006 (UTC) Probably the easiest way to make de-admining easier than admining, an automatic community vote bypasses the obstacles of arbcom or what-have-you. The community is the proper check. Should be fairly infrequent, as voting consumes time. I like the idea of a comment page for each admin - and I think the periodic reconfirmations should be on that comment page, so people are informed about the admin they're discussing and checking. To counter a common argument made in the disagree vote - so what if an admin gets wrongly deadmined? There are plenty of others to pick up the mop and continue mopping the floor. It's no big deal. On the other hand, if an administrator abusing their powers is not desysoped, that is a big deal.Reply[reply]

  6. Agree and disagree (call me a floating voter) - if there is a strong system in place for dealing with problematic admin behaviour (see section below) then there would be no need for this and I would disagree.

A community-based process should be created to de-admin problematic users

Such proposals have been rejected in the past (see WP:RFDA), but the community has evolved since then. A possible hazard would be that it could be abused by for instance users (rightly) blocked by a certain admin.

  6. Absolutely. Arbcom has been given an opportunity to handle such issues, and the results are clearly not satisfactory to the community. I'm confident we can come up with a process that will not risk the horror stories feared by its opponents. Minimum edit counts (1000, perhaps?), a cooling-off period of a week between the action and the filing, requiring multiple users with separate grievances - there are a lot of ways we can have a sensible, community-oriented process without degenerating into a circus of vandals and trolls. Hopefully, it will not have to be used often. Out of our 700 or so admins, I expect between 6 and 12 to lose their adminship if such a process is implemented. These will be our most controversial admins, and on the whole our project will be better off without these powers in their hands.

  25. Admins are granted their powers by community support, and should keep them for only as long as they maintain that support. ArbCom can adjudicate specific disputes, but it cannot decide the more general question of community support—only the community itself can do that. The details need discussion, but one approach would be to use a Requests for reconfirmation page for initial evaluation. If a request generates significant support there, it can proceed to RfA, where actual reconfirmation would occur. Tim Smith 16:39, 20 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Other (community based de-adminning)

  1. If there was a procedure that for temporarily removing admin privileges from misbehaving admins, and if the ArbComm would take seriously any major misbehavior from admins, this is not necessary. I see too many potential problems with a community-based method of deadminship. BlankVerse 18:47, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  2. BlankVerse is right. We need a simple procedure that allows for the fasttemporary removal of admin privs from any admin that has gone rogue. Any community-based procedure would take days to carry out, and could easily be circumvented as long as the admin was popular enough to get all his/her friends to come pile on the vote. I suggest a system whereby, if a complaint of serious abuse of power is lodged, a vote of three admins (or whatever number is determined to be optimal) in agreement would be enough to compel a bureaucrat to remove the admin's privileges while some sort of RfC on the matter is allowed to play out. (I also think that, in order to protect against the possibility of any admin cabal working behind the scenes to quash any complaint, a vote by regular users should also be enough to force a bureaucrat action, but it would require a supermajority and a quorum ... say, perhaps, a minimum of 100 votes cast, with 75% or 80% in favor of removing the admin's privileges.) --Aaron 19:19, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Any such process would need to be devised to avoid it being an un-popularity contest, however, which would be tricky. I wouldn't support this unless a good process was devised.

  6. Arbcom is for arbitration of disputes. It is not a substitute for community consensus decision-making. It doesn't decide whether the community trusts someone.

And Arbcom has flatly refused to hear recent cases that involve a great amount of community strife - most of it involving good-faith users on both ends, not the "trolls" that the oppose voters are so worried about (unless your definition of a troll extends to anyone disagreeing with you). How many people believe that all 700 or so administrators are qualified? That none of them deserve to lose their status either for repeated defiance of consensus or simply because they no longer have the confidence of the community? I'm pretty conservative in this regard, myself - I figure maybe 1 percent of the admins (just about half a dozen) really need to be desysopped. 1% of the admins are responsible for 90% of the conflicts, and I think we all know who that 1% consists of, and they are a detriment to Wikipedia and the Arbcom hasn't done anything about it.

    As an example of the above, look at the Arbcom elections. Some of the most controversial administrators are (or were) running, and received significantly less than 50% support. Often, their refusal to abide by consensus in their administrative actions (including wheel warring) was specifically cited by voters as a reason for opposition. Certainly, the standards for Arbcom are (or should be) higher than for ordinary adminship, but looking at the elections provides a pretty good rough indication of which administrators are too controversial to operate effectively and which ones have lost the confidence of the Wikipedia community.

  11. This is fraught with difficulty (e.g. possible mass sockpuppetry to kick back after a block). It needs to be easier to get people demoted from sysop if they cause problems, it needs to be an open community-based process, I'm just not entirely convinced it needs to be this suggested process. - Just zis Guy, you know?[T]/[C]AfD? 20:37, 22 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  12. I say Wikipedia is based on consensus, but frankly, the current methods for gauging consensus are largely just bad. They either a) give excessive authority to the closing admin/bureaucrat or b) promote unexplained or generally stupid votes. A community-based solution is what we should aim for eventually, but with a number of added rules to turn it into more of an informed discussion than a blind vote. For instance, clear criteria could be set by genuine community consensus (as opposed to consensus of a tiny handful), and every vote would have to justify itself according to those criteria, in ten words or more. Maximally clear and narrow criteria would be devised, e.g., "repeatedly blocking users without giving sufficient notice", in the manner of CSD. If anyone disagreed that a vote conformed to the criteria, they could post their criticism of its rationale, and if the original vote's poster didn't respond within two days, it would be discounted. The poll would close to new votes after a certain number of days, then end two days after discussion finished.

    Or something like that. You get the idea. For now, ArbCom is probably the only real option, but motions for summary desysopping should be default in cases of sysop abuse. —Simetrical (talkcontribs) 05:37, 27 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  13. How about recall voting style? If a good number of people want a recall vote (say five or ten or so), then a vote discussion for consensus occurs. If about a simple majority think the admin should be de-adminned, the admin ought to be. joturner 20:36, 15 May 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Miscellaneous

Bureaucrats should not be on the Arbitration Committee

Some people consider this a conflict of interest, or overcentralization of power.

Agree (bureaucrats on ArbCom)

  1. In my opinion, Bureaucrats nor Admins should be on the ArbCom. I think that if an admin is eleccted to ArbCom, that his admin rights should be revoked, as a potential conflict of interest. Same goes for Bureaucrats. --^demon 18:21, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  6. Agree, have one or the other. Spread the roles around. enochlau (talk) 01:57, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  7. Agree about being a bureaucrat at the same time. The concentration of power is too great. We should be able to find enough people to serve as both. However, there are some useful tools that admins have that could help with their job and their everyday contributions. I would rather have them have limited powers, like not being able to ban or block users or create or undelete pages/images outside of ArbCom decisions, but still being able to roll back and view deleted pages. -- Kjkolb 12:12, 19 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  10. Agree in the sense that Bureaucrats on Arbcom is a bad thing (the wording above isn't clear what "Agree" refers to). There are 1000s of editors in wikipedia, I don't see why we shouldn't make sure that the committees are broader based rather than a cabal. --Victim of signature fascismhelp remove biblecruft 20:46, 28 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  11. Somewhat agree. Conflict of interest/power too concentrated. — Omegatron 04:24, 4 February 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  12. Arbcomers should only deal with arbcom, Arbcom is an indecent process (arbcomers have to deal with other peoples incivility and disputes as well as other goodies). Arbcom is like suicide with overwhelming workload. Arbcomers neither have time to use checkuser privilages or admin powers nor burocrat powers. A checks and balances must exist. Diferent bodies should regulate each other. Arbcom should not be a group of Almightys. Arbcoms only responsibly is to resolve disputes, any other problem should have their own process. --Cool CatTalk @ 21:27, 9 February 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  13. Agree, but for another reason. If someone is a beaucrat, an admin, and an Arbcom member, that is quite simply too much work for any sane person with a life. They either start shirking their duties, or begin burning out, and if they've been entrusted with that much, then they are users we really don't want to burn out. --maru (talk) contribs 06:24, 23 April 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Requests for comment is not taken seriously enough

There are some who consider RFC to be anything from a minor "shot over the bow" to a useless step before inevitable arbitration.

I would say that article RFCs do work most of the time (they don't if they are ignored, ill-conceived or in a relatively unknown area), but people RFCs generally don't work at all.

  21. User RFC is probably the worst, most useless process on Wikipedia (with the possible exception of deletion review). Article RFCs are flat-out ignored (at least in my experience). As stated by many others, RFC is often considered a prelude to arbitration, rather than a serious attempt at dispute resolution in and of itself. It's also a forum for venting grievances, which makes it inherently problematic. What is worst of all is that with all the venting, there are no actual consequences. A few of the most controversial administrators have openly declared contempt for extensively certified RFCs against them. Result? Nothing happened. What's the point of even having RFC if it is simply useless paperwork that serves as an opportunity for people to get even angrier?

If that consensus never materializes then either ignore the behavior or take it to arbcom.

And an arbcomer suggested a year long block on me over THAT. Also some RfCs cant be deciving as RfCs can be troll heavens. RfC must be fixed.
    Let me elaborate. Currently the dispute resolution process expects both parties to cooperate. Well, on many occasions that can't happen, especially if one party is wikistalking another. RfC must have teath.
    I do not see why we are having second thoughts in blocking problematic users. I would be better of if obviously problematic behavior by Davenbelle and Steriotek (to the point of opposing me receiving barnstars or voting oppose on RfA before the nominator after the arbcom case.). I had oppose votes on my RfA due to the RfAr case filed to get rid of my stalkers.

Other (RFCs)

  1. I tend to think that people forget that these are requests for comment so that the subject can see what the community thinks, and then change their behaviour to meet community norms. People tend to see them as just a means of escalating dispute resolution. Having said that, if someone gets lots of RfCs against them, it may be an indicator of significant problems. In that light, I think it would make sense to add a punitive aspect for someone who gets multiple RfCs (e.g. maybe have Wikipedia:Requests for de-adminship require three certified RfCs over the past year among other things).

  3. It's more that they are taken TOO seriously (by the community) leading to a lot of heat and bad feelings, and not seriously enough (by the person being commmented on). They're broken but I'm not sure what the fix is. ++Lar: t/c 03:49, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  4. RFCs seem to frequently descend into inconclusive ranting against the person or people in question. This sort of mass expression of hostility is not healthy for either the person in question, or the people who participate. It is polarizing, degrading, and simply nasty. --FOo 04:41, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  5. The only thing a personal RFC is these days is a huge waste of time for everyone involved, except that it may uncover more evidence before going to the next step of Arbitration. There needs to be something before going to Arbitration but RFC are not it. All they are is blatherings, obfuscations, personal attacks and venues for vendettas. BlankVerse

  9. In the context of admin accountability, an RfC should sometimes be viewed as a warning akin to a vandalism warning.

Other (other de-adminning)

  1. ArbCom should still be able to de-admin. Bureaucrats should be given the power, but stewards would have to do the actual de-adminning, as bureaucrats do not have the technical power, and it's unlikely that the devs would change this for us (like with the rollback thing). I think maybe a straw poll should be used to gauge community consensus, active bureaucrats should determine what they feel to be the consensus at the end, publically comment, and if they agree to desysop, then they list it on requests for permissions. Or we could just hire Chuck Norris to arrive, and beat the cruft out of the admin until they post for voluntary desysopping on requests for permissions. The previous sentence was a joke, but the rest of the vote is not. --Phroziac.o º O (♥♥♥♥ chocolate!) 04:26, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  2. ArbCom has certain situations when they should be active, and they make decisions in those situations. There is nothing in Wikipedia:Arbitration policy that they are the body to affect Admins in other situations. (SEWilco 04:43, 18 January 2006 (UTC))Reply[reply]
  3. Giving desysop permissions to bureaucrats is actually quite easy, from a technical standpoint, so if it is wanted, it can be done (just like with the rollback privileges, the Devs don't want to do it until we're sure we really want it). Another good idea would be to get Rambo to beat up rogue admins, too. Titoxd(?!? - help us) 05:07, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Should the ArbCom increase the number of users with access to CheckUser?

Agree (checkuser rights)

  1. To be frank, there's nothing you can do with an IP address except locate someone down to their city (unreliably, I might add) and establish under which names that IP has been logged under.

    If someone is editing from AOL, they will go through a proxy, and you won't even be able to tell from which city they are editing from. On the other hand, I've seen editing from corporate IPs that suggest which department they are working in, and from university IPs that suggest which building they are editing from. I know that there have been at least two threats to inform employers about a person's edits on the Wikipedia, and I'm sure there have been more threats that I haven't read about.

  6. Admins should have checkuser rights, going on the assumption that they are not stalkers. Why do editors need to be anonymous, if we are supposed to be editing with NPOV and verifiable material? IP addresses are sprayed all over the place when using the internet, anyway. As a privacy-preserving compromise, providing some kind of hash of the IP address (so that one could compare two hashed IPs to see that they are the same, but not know what specific IP it is) would at least help a little with sockpuppet tracking. brighterorange (talk) 18:26, 5 April 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  2. No friggin' way. When the expansion of checkuser privileges was proposed, I could see the possibility that it could easily be abused. Although things seem to have settled down now, I saw several cases in the beginning that looked more like fishing expeditions rather than valid checkuser checks, as the persons who had checkuser rights played with their new toy. There is absolutely no reason to expand checkuser priledges beyond those who currently have it. IPs can, for example, reveal which the company where a person works, which dorm they are in at school, etc. I know there have been at least two cases where there were threats to go to editor's employer over an editor's behavior.

This seems to be a breach of privacy and negate some of the privacy promises made when you get a log on, for example "You are actually more anonymous (though more pseudonymous) logged in than you are as an "anonymous" editor, due to the hiding of your IP." or at Wikipedia:Privacy_policy#Private_logging : Where the user has been vandalising articles or persistently behaving in a disruptive way, data may be released to assist in the targeting of IP blocks, or to assist in the formulation of a complaint to relevant Internet Service Providers - opening access to "check user" may lead to this policy not being upheld as strictly as I and others may read it.--A Y Arktos 21:02, 19 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Other (checkuser rights)

  1. I do think it's essential that we have more rapid sockpuppet checks. Perhaps this can be accomplished without granting CheckUser access to additional users. The problem is that ArbCom members are already extremely busy and have little time to hunt down sockpuppets. I'd support having the ArbCom (or Jimbo or the Board) grant access to a few more users, but would strongly oppose any "Request for CheckUser access" process. CarboniteTalk 14:37, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  2. I think there is room for a CheckUser light. I don't know what form it would take - perhaps something like you give it an IP and you give it a username and it says "yes this user has logged in from this IP and gives you the last date" or "no, this user has never logged in from this IP". You can find out a surprising amount of information with just an IP address. It shouldn't be necessary to know all the IPs they've logged in from. Oppose per Carbonite regarding RfCUa. - FrancisTyers 15:46, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  3. I'm in favor of designing a "CheckUser Express" tool that would be accessible to all administrators and could do sockpuppet checks without giving out actual IP information. This would be more complicated to program than ordinary CheckUser (which I understand relies on a high degree of intuition) but it would be more effective. For instance, someone might enter two user names and the tool would return a message saying: "These users are on an AOL proxy, so IP comparison is infeasible here." Or it might say "These users are from the same domain, but different IP addresses. The domain is: (whatever.net)." (If the domain was an ISP, of course, this would be inconclusive - but that's already the case with normal CheckUser). Or, of course, "These two users share the same IP address". (Maybe even "These users are on the same subnet, but not the same IP.") This information could be provided without needing to give admins access to personally identifiable information. Crotalus horridus (TALKCONTRIBS) 16:26, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    This has been discussed in the past and the general consensus is that any automated solution isn't especially feasible since CheckUser is more an art than a science. There would be far too many false positives and negatives without having access to the actual IP addresses. CarboniteTalk 16:30, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Indeed, it often takes me half an hour of poring over CheckUser output, whois information, edits, and other content before concluding whether editor A and editor B are really the same person or not. It's not a simple yes/no question, even in cases that seem obvious. I don't think it can be automated at all. Kelly Martin (talk) 13:01, 20 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I would support some sort of expansion of the group of persons who may review the logs.

  9. No, checkuser shouldn't necessarily be extended to others, but sockpuppet-checking should be easier. In the long term, make a checkuser-lite that would either confirm or disconfirm a proposed match, and tell you how many addresses they matched on and how many of each user's edits were made on each of the accounts for each address, without telling you what the actual address is. Maybe then give this power to all admins, but log each use and require legitimate suspicion before running it, with oversight as any admin process. Until then, extend checkuser a bit, but not too much (maybe give it to all bureaucrats). —Simetrical (talkcontribs) 05:52, 27 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    To clarify what the output would look like, based on above discussion, it would be something like
    Users matched on 2 IP addresses.

    Address 2: 1 edit by User:Account 1 (click for list), 1 edit by User:Account 2 (click for list).
    This would be easy to produce with an automated check. And the log would just be of the form

There should be an intermediate layer between "user" and "admin"

For instance, a user who gets the rollback button but no other admin abilities, or a user who gets deletion tools but not blocking tools.

There's a difference between tools and powers (intermediate user layer)

  1. There are a number of things that are given to admins only because they're things that require some level of trust before they can be accessed, but they don't have to do with enforcing policy. Per Wikipedia:User access levels, some of them are already implemented, like being able to access Special:Unwatchedpages and being able to view deleted versions of pages for DRV or CSD-G4. I don't have a good sense of the community yet, but if there are admins who rarely use their blocking powers, but became an admin so they could have access to few extra things, then a lower level might simultaneously allow more users to use these tools productively, provide a longer period for users to prove themselves trustworthy, and also perhaps encourage users to give more scrutiny to admins during the RFA process. --Interiot 23:37, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  2. I definitely think Rollback is a tool, not a power. Of all the Admin tools I'm familiar with, only Viewing Deleted Versions/Deleted Edit Histories/Special:Unwatchedpages seem to be similarly 'non-powered, but trusted'. I'd favor adding these to most users in a similar way to Move. A completely new layer is probably unnecessary, but this WOULD make Adminship "more of a big deal". -- nae'blis(talk) 21:53, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  5. Agree with nae'blis. I think like Move, the Rollback tool should be made available to users automatically after they reach some threshold of activity and time. Perhaps at a higher threshold, Viewing Deleted Versions/Deleted Edit Histories/Special:Unwatchedpages should similarly be automatically enabled: WP:AGF. Like other blocking, these cabilities should be able to be blocked by admins if they are abused. – Doug Belltalkcontrib 19:26, 1 February 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  6. Agree. I originally asked for adminship just to get the rollback button. I don't use the big bad admin powers nearly as much as the janitorial tools. There is room for an intermediate step. — Omegatron 04:34, 4 February 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Other (intermediate user layer)

  1. I don't consider rollback to be a "real" admin tool, since it basically just speeds up the process of reverting. None of the other admin tools (blocking, protection, deletion) can be undone by a non-admin. I support wider access to rollback, but not through a "Request for Rollback" procedure. I strongly oppose making admin tools available À la carte. They should remain a package that's given only to trusted users. CarboniteTalk 13:31, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  2. Rollback is a special case. Maybe it should have a "reason" field added and then be made available to all registered users, or there should be an easy way of getting it once you have a bunch of edits (but then maybe have it removable by any bureaucrat). Doling out other admin powers is very different, for the reason Carbonite states. —Simetrical (talkcontribs) 06:12, 27 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

A blocked admin should refrain from using admin abilities

Being blocked does not technically prevent an admin from blocking, protecting, deleting or rollbacking anything. Admins can unblock themselves (which is entirely proper when, among others, hit by the autoblocker when they share an IP with a blocked user), but in several cases this is strongly frowned upon. In those cases where an admin should not unblock himself, he should also not perform any other admin actions, such as blocking or unblocking others. Block means block.

THIS POINT IS MOOT because the devs have prevented admins from doing this.

Actually, being blocked does prevent an admin from protecting, deleting, and using rollback. While blocked, the only action an admin may take is to block or unblock (in case of a block due to the autoblocker). See bug 3801. Talrias (t e c) 19:12, 19 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  5. I agree. There is one problem that I can see, however, if the bug gets fixed. An admin might be more likely to use an illegitimate block in an editing dispute knowing the other admin would stay blocked. If any admin does a block in an editing dispute, then they should be blocked for abusing their admin privileges. BlankVerse 19:44, 19 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  8. Agree. They shouldn't edit at all, let alone use admin functions. The software should be fixed so that a block on an admin has the same effect as a block on a regular editor. They should not be able to unblock themselves (as long as they have the capability, I don't have a problem with them removing unintentional blocks). -- Kjkolb 04:02, 22 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Disagree (blocked admins)

  1. An admin should be able to unblock themselves if caught by the autoblocker (probably by far the most common reason an admin is blocked). In addition, if the block is clearly illegitimate you shouldn't be required (advised, yes, required, no) to wait until someone finds out and unblocks you. I have seen too many illegitimate blocks (like some of the ones Ed did, for an example that comes to mind quickly) to support this idea. Guettarda 19:07, 19 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    • If the autoblocker is catching admins, FIX the autoblocker so it doesn't invalidate names that already existed before the block went into effect. This has broad support at Wikipedia:Blocking policy proposal. Additional names that existed beforehand (sockpuppets-in-waiting) can be blocked shortly thereafter, if they resume the vandalism/disruptive behavior. If an admin is blocked unfairly as apparently happened with Ed Poor, then some other admin should unblock them. I don't see how anyone could block every admin before one would notice, and if the software allows that through scripting, disallow it. -- nae'blis(talk) 19:20, 19 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  2. Blocking someone should not be de-sysopping them. If blocked admins abuse their admin powers, then de-sysop them. JYolkowski // talk 22:16, 19 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  3. I remember when an admin was blocked once, he went on RC patrol and did a fantastic job with his rollback button. I don't think it's right to ask administrators to refrain from good faith actions like this. --Tony SidawayTalk 10:40, 20 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  4. Incredibly, I agree with Tony Sidaway here. Indeed, I think the fact that blocking doesn't disable the rollback function was intentional. Sjakkalle(Check!) 10:50, 20 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  5. Depends, of course, on why the block was made. I see no problem with an admin rolling back vandalism while blocked, but of course they shouldn't rollback non-vandalism and especially not if the edits related to the reason why they are blocked. Admins mostly should not use block/unblock and protect/unprotect while blocked, mainly because they are unable to explain their actions by posting on the relevant talk pages. Admins should certainly stop acting in any wheel war when blocked.-gadfium 23:02, 21 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  6. I'm happy with the way things stand. Auto IP blocks need to be avoidable. If an admin abuses the facilities by unblocking themselves, then WP:RFDA. Stifle 09:32, 26 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Other (blocked admins)

  1. I don't see anything particularly wrong with making admins unable to unblock themsleves and having an admin ask another admin to perform an unblock. Sure, it is a minor inconvenience if your IP is accidentally blocked for some reason, but that is the case for every single non-administrative user. If it's good enough for Joe Editor, it's good enough for everyone else. Perhaps it would even be incentive to be more careful with autoblocker or aggressive IP range blocks.
    Looking at the balance, on the one side, we have the convenience of being able to unblock oneself and not having to ask someone else. On the other side, we have wheel warring and potential need for some emergency deadmin procedure if someone really loses temper and decides to be destructive. Which is more important? --Tabor 19:38, 19 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    I'm a little puzzled by your comment. Admins don't place autoblocks, so I'm not quite sure what you meant that it would "be incentive to be more careful with autoblocker".

  5. Except collatertal damage, otherwise get another sysop to do the unblock. - Mailer Diablo 19:07, 23 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  6. A block is restriction of "editing". An admin reverting vandalism regardless of the fact he violated 3rr and hence is blocked for 24hrs. No harm done. An admin violating 3rr, getting blocked, unblocking self, blocking the person blocking him for 3rr, blocking all other parties, and being the ultimate dick is however something worthy of deadminship. --Cool CatTalk @ 21:57, 9 February 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

A Reminder

I'd just like to remind everybody that m:Polls are evil (and i'd encourage everybody to actually read that article; besides making a point, its actually quite good).

I understand the desire to get an overview of "what the community wants", but with issues this important, i feel they should be discussed rather than polled (ironically, much like what most people want to see on WP:RFA). Most of the items on this list are worth discussing on their own worth and at a leisurely pace.

I'm not saying we should all boycott the polls. This is just meant as a reminder we shouldn't take it too seriously. It would be detrimental if the results of this poll would come back to haunt other discussions on the matter ("the poll indicated most people said X"), rather than discussing the actual content of the matters. Be careful with polls, especially with issues as divisive as these.

We want to come together rather than make camps. Just my two cents. The Minister of War (Peace) 10:20, 18 January 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Polls are not evil. Discussion and attempts to build consensus are helpful, but having a poll is also a helpful way to get a sense of how different opinions are represented, numberwise. For example, if five vocal users support an idea, and 18 less vocal users oppose it, the fact that one side has a clear majority is more obvious with a poll than with trying to sort out lines upon lines of discussion. A poll is simply an easy way of saying "Ok, so who and how many people support this idea, and who is opposed to it?". Ideally, we can have both polls and quality discussion to go with them.
