[Foundation-l] Global rights proposal

[Christiano Moreschi]

Admins rarely are. Certainly not at en. Familiarity with Wikimedia-wide issues is not asked about at RFA: nor is it even thought desirable. It is simply an ignored quality. I'm sure there are tons of non-admins who know far more about this sort of stuff than I do, and I've been an admin at en for over a year and a contributor since early 06. I cannot see a good reason for restricting suffrage to people with +sysop.

It looks nastily to me like another example of en getting a desperately raw deal, and a backdoor attempt to railroad through a bad idea, not accepted by the community, the need for which has not been proven anyway. The phrase "the community" has also been understood to mean that, if you are a member of a the community, your vote's as good as anyone else's. Wikimedians should not be penalised for the sin of not belonging to a minority.
