Whatever happened to trusting the community? When cs.wiki... umm...
well, whatever it was that happened there, the mantra of "Trust Local
Bureaucrats" was repeated over and over again.
Now that something is amiss at the Dutch Wikipedia, though, we decide
we must intervene because We Loves Walter?
Can we try to be consistent, here, people? Please?

going. I would recommend that he appoint you as its first member. De-sysop indeed. Things

very bad on nl if somebody I trust as much as I trust you gets desysoped there.
Maybe you should tell them that I and the board trust you so much that you have read
access to the
foundation PayPal account and can edit the foundation wiki. You have never abused those
rights and
are still very much so trusted.
Everybody on every wiki needs to know that rules *only* exist to serve our goal of
creating and
distributing the best encyclopedia in the world. They should *never* be used as weapons
against
people you happen to not like for whatever reason and they certainly do *not* exist for
their own
sake. That is in fact what the ignore all rules policy is all about.

A desysopping procedure against me has started on

A brilliant timing btw my sysopstatus will be taken away on my birthday.
As I have said before. If I get desysopped something breaks in me. As I
have always done a lot for the community. It is ironic that on nl: the
trolls can stay, as they do not even get blocked! And the one who is
constantly trying to keep things going looses his modstatus.
I have tried after a year of discussing to finally get a blockpolicy
going on nl: that allows blocks for more than 24 hours. 7 proposals have
been made by 7 users. But no what do they want on nl: they want to
discuss things further. Meanwhile trolls feast on nl: and multiple users
have left already. Also an arbcom has been discussed for over a year.
And everytime someone has a proposal they discuss further and further
and further. NL: has become a discussionforum in which proposals are
discussed, but never ever implemented. I tried to further it by warning
people on their userpages that wikipedia is not a discussionforum. They
responded with a desysoppingprocedure here:

This is the worst birthday gift after over 2 years of hard work. I
defended nl.wikipedia a number of times over the radio as a
presscontact. everyone said I had done a good job. I now feel stupid
sorry for doing such a good job. This community doesn't deserve people
who are willing to work hard.
