Thats not an ideal admin. My ideal admin has no experience being an admin on wikipedia, and need not be an editor. Instead, he would be someone paid to follow and enforce rules, not make them up as goes along.
One of the underlying aspects of Wikipedia, however, is that it's a consensus-driven model. The rules *are* made up as we go along, and not in any hard and fast manner. An outsider would really have no business enforcing rules, or be able to do so reasonably. And it would be quite contrary to the model of a user-built and user-governed encyclopedia project.
