I'd been hoping for a long time that the position of adminship would
be done away with, in favor of something more wikilike. This entire
thread betrays the basics of why the wikipedia works (anti-elitism,
ability of everyone to edit). These proposals perpetuate the idea that
admins are somehow more competent for having won a popularity contest
at RfA. That simply is not true, and eventually you'll discover the
reason why the wikipedia works, and the nupedia didn't. Creating
hegemony to the benefit of the few is no way to encourage
volunteership. Skilled contributors don't donate their time in order
to be made to feel like 2nd class citizens. Your damn lucky I enjoy
reading the encyclopedia so much, or I wouldn't be wasting time w such
an unrewarding process.

Agreed. If we can't trust admins, who *can* we trust?
