Dante-
how do you feel about the fact that he deleted his own talk page,
thereby
not even leaving his explanation of the incident?

I don't think it's strictly true to say that he deleted his own talk
page. I will take them at their word that there are a group of people
that we are discussing here, and that the people at User:Viking were
members of the same group as Kils, but are not one and the same
person.
As I said, the deletion of the page was a Bad Thing, but it can be
undone. Assuming that Kils understands why that was a mistake, as I
assume he will if we explain it to him, I see no danger in restoring his
sysop powers. After all, the only unreversable action that a sysop can
take is the deletion of pictures which really isn't that big of a deal
anyway. If he begins to abuse his powers, take them away for good. But,
as I see it, Kils hasn't really done anything too terrible. It's probably
just been (and PLEASE forgive me for this one) a cultural
misunderstanding.
