On the other hand, "constables" is jargon (rather unfortunate jargon,  
IMHO) that they've coined themselves to replace "admins."

Personally, I wish them well. It would be a great thing if  
Citizendium actually succeeds in producing a better free encyclopedia  
than Wikipedia -- or even if it just achieves some partial success  
that merely illuminates ways Wikipedia itself can improve. Of course  
it will take years before Citizendium can hope to match, let alone  
surpass Wikipedia. Nevertheless, I look forward to the day when  
Wikipedia's great SunGodKing and paternal protector kneels in fealty  
before Larry Sanger and acknowledges Sanger's primacy as the one  
true, holy and encyclopedic GalacticDietySupremeCommander.
