3) What is Jimbo's position as an editor on
Wikipedia? Does he have
the right to ignore consensus? What happens if people disregard his
right? Can he confer this right on others? How do we distinguish
between Jimbo as normal editor and Jimbo as editor with godlike
powers?
4) Does Jimbo have a leadership position, and if so, of what? Whom
does he lead? In what way? Is that leadership contestable?
Jimbo's power is due mostly to the community accepting his pronouncements
Is this an honest assessment? Could a non-admin (or even a single
admin) go against him and not get banned? Honestly? That is not a
measure of respect or even deference except perhaps by a majority of admins.
