Hi,
On de:, we had this discussion some months ago. Finally, we came to the conclusion that there would be nearly 3 re-elections starting every week which would be to much; nobody can or wans to vote three times a week in re-elections and additionally in new adminship requests. I don't know the situation in sv:; I think you have less admins than de: so it might be possible for you to act like you proposed. I don't think anyone would object if any Wikipedia started to change adminship elections, this is no "international" subject... On de: this problem is now handled like this: If any sysop does "critical" things, everybody can start a desysop request. If a defined number of users agree to this, the admin is desysoped and has to re-request for adminship. If he fails, he won't be admitted to request adminship fro several months; on the other side, if the desysop-request fails, nobody might start another request within 4 months (Yeah, this is german bureaucracy ;-) ).

At one of the wikipedias, the one in Swedish, a discussion has arisen if it would be possible to elect admins on a term of, say, one year. Admins whose actions often are questioned would then have little chance of getting re-elected, and choosing not so perfect admins would not be such a big problem as it currently is.
At a previous stage, soneome at svwiki said that this would simply not be possible, since it is so difficult to get someone de-admined. Today there is a functioning structure of stewarts, and I wonder - if svwiki started this system, where admins aren't elected forever but for a term of a predetermined time, would "the international" object? Would stewarts get tired of demand after demand from svwiki to take the admin rights from admins whose one year term run out, or would it be seen as OK?
It is difficult to puch the question, as long as we don't know if the argument "it would not be allowed" is correct or not.
Best, Hanna _______________________________________________ Wikipedia-l mailing list Wikipedia-l@Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikipedia-l
