Similarly, nothing new. Wikipedia's
expanding, so is the number of
desysoppings. We've got better things to worry about, surely. AGK
Well said. And guess what: Next year, there will
probably be more than
there were this year, and so on. Nothing alarming here, really.

Of course there were more than ever before. There are more admins than
ever
before. There are more articles than ever before. There were more
edits
than ever before. One must have a sense of
proportion here. What *
percentage* of admins was desysopped year over year, by reason for
desysopping? That would give us a reasonable comparison point, raw
numbers
are meaningless.
