Regarding the Waerth on Dutch Wikipedia, Jimbo came in to say:
"Rather, I have voted because I would prefer to see a different approach taken in cases like this, an approach which is less confrontational and more about building up friendships and trust among good users."
I wonder what kind of approach he would mean here. Could you please expound?
It seems to me that having the same percentage to *become* an admin and *be removed* as an admin is perplexing.
And I think that many or most of those who voted 'no' on Waerth would agree with this: Waerth crossed the line on a few occassions but has been, overall, a very good user, and we can all understand the reasons for his frustration, even if we don't agree.
I don't know enough of the details of what all has been tried in this case, but it seems sad to me to have a very good user (a steward, well trusted internationally, very often a press spokesperson for dutch wikipedia) desysopped on such a slim process.
