Except he wasn't an Wikipedian in good standing; he had attempted to
start a wheel war.
A little while back someone on IRC told me that if an admin did
something outside policy, they should no longer be considered a
Wikipedian in good standing, but rather a vandal, and that an admin
should be able to revert them 'til doomsday without feeling any guilt.
I think he was commenting on the rash of userbox deletions in
December/January, but I could be wrong.
We shouldn't twist our definitions until good admins become bad
Wikipedians ... there's no telling what we might be saying to one
another without knowing. A Wikipedia in which my mate on IRC isn't
talking crap would be a grim Wikipedia indeed.
