Other than that, this looks like a fairly normal admin life cycle.

Is this unusual for anyone's involvement with virtually any internet project?
If you see Wikipedia as "any internet project" you will be blind to its individual needs.
That's not an excuse to ignore the ways in which it is in fact the same.
If there's a broader issue we should be discussing here, please tell us what it is.
Perhaps the reasons really are that it has been "overtaken by trolls and has strayed from its original purpose".
I've been here nearly four years and don't think it has. It's MUCH BIGGER now, but that's a different thing.
