Let's not mince words: Wikipedia administratorship can be a serious
liability. The 'reward' for volunteering for this educational nonprofit can
include getting one's real name Googlebombed, getting late night phone calls
to one's home, and worse. The Wikimedia Foundation has never sent a cease
and desist demand to the people who have made a years-long hobby of driving
its administrators away.
It is hardly surprising that, in this weak economy, wise editors have been
declining offers of nomination.
