Responding to:
-> <sarcasm> Way to go, Wikipedia! Good job -> treating volunteer editors who are simply -> standing up for their rights like criminals. </sarcasm>
It's a common mistake to assert that anyone has rights at Wikipedia. Aside from the technical matter of "sysop rights", Wikipedia grants no rights whatsoever.
Wikipedia is a volunteer organization, and I think I speak for the English part of that organization when I say that volunteers here have no rights or privileges. Wikipedians have only duties, voluntarily assumed.
Our duty as volunteers is to create a free encyclopedia filled with accurate, neutral articles for the benefit of the general public.
Anyone is welcome to join us, as long as they come to help us create this kind of encyclopedia. Others will be shown to the door.
