I concur entirely with Sarah's definition of when a wheel war begins. This culture of "free whacks at the post" has to go. NOBODY is entitled to revert without discussion. 3RR says we're willing to tolerate it for regular editors. Admins are expected to be above this. Any admin who doesn't want to play by this rule is invited to visit [[m:Requests for permissions]].
Slightly OT, I think it makes a lot of sense to clearly tell prospective admins what *obligations* they are subjecting themselves to, as well as what special 'powers' they are gaining, by becoming administrators.
Obligations to:
- Learn relevant policy and keep up with policy changes
WP:CSD is edited more than once a day. I mean seriously that page needs an RSS feed or something. Keeping up with it is no trivial task.
Yes. It's a good thing these aren't already obligations :-) But I can imagine someone creating a weekly 'policy update' newsletter, and writing a bot that spams admin talk pages with a link to the latest edition once a week. You wouldn't be able to opt out of this spam as an admin, and would be expected to catch up on the newsletter regularly.
- Obey a 1RR?
Revert warriours would just love that.
I meant "Obey a 1RR with regards to other admins?"... but the question mark is still there for a reason.
