Its just not the way to do things which are systemic and process-related. These socially-based processes need to be looked at wholistically to see how they work in relation to what WP needs. Weve got Arbcom, Medcom, RFC, VFD, Cleanup, etc. etc. etc, but little general oversight powers to reform these. Perhaps even a VFD committee would be useful:
Ive noticed a lot of one-time registrants can influence a VFD - Lost Liberty Hotel should have been toast, but without definitive process, consensus wound up keeping it. (Thats an article which I think I'll delete unilaterally. Again.)
Single leader = definitiveness, closed debate Open democracy = open debate, lack of cohesion It's somewhat cyclical.
