[WikiEN-l] Your comments on wikien-l regarding adminship

[Gary Kirk]

IMHO, it should be easier to get adminship as a) it's No Big Deal(r)
and b) all actions can now  be reversed - and users can quickly be
dysopped. The three month tenure, however, I find silly - if someone
was good enough and behaved well for those three months then obviously
they should be allowed to continue. Desysopping after three months
would turn the whole RfA process into a lottery-like game - "if it's
no big deal, why can't I continue as an admin?".

I also disagree with not allowing users to object to more than one RfA
every three months - Wikipedia is not a democracy.
