Authority rests with the wikipedia community, not with admins. Funny how editors without favor are never cut any slack? Wikipedia is not a club of friends, shaking hands and letting them get away with transgressions. It is the two wikipedias. Real fair. As long as these double standards are perpetuated, with what respect can admins be held?
I don't have to be fool to break rules, just an admin.

Common sense and putting a stamp of approval on irregularities are two different things. You are not a sucker if you follow the rules and you a fool if you think you have some special license to break them. Nevertheless, the slack is cut a bit from time to time.

While seniority does not exist on Wikipedia officially, in practice it does and certain >editors such as Adam Carr have a degree of favor.
Right, the two wikipedias. One is official (only read and followed by suckers) and the other is run by favor. Quite an admission from an arbitrator. So your advice is to shrug your shoulders and walk away? Or get some "favor" so the protection can be lifted. Failing that, make some sockpuppets and have some fun, no-one will take action until the atmosphere has been thoroughly poisoned!
Its who you know, not what you know! What a way to run wikipedia! _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@Wikipedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
