There have been slight issues on
en.wikinews.org that are quite
troubling and need to be addressed.
It seems that one of the admins, Eloquence, has been causing many
problems by abusing his admin/sysop rights. He is also, from what I
gather, the research director for WMF.
He has now banned other sysops on that wiki, including Nick Gerda
(ngerda), uses a bunch of aliases that he has given admin status to, and
has been disregarding the wiki process and community.
Please note, I do not do too much work on the wiki itself, but I keep in
touch with quite a few people in #wikinews on freenode that have left
disgruntled because of what Erik/Eloquence has done, which I believe
just isn't right.
