[Wikipedia-l] Terms for adminship

[Raphael Wiegand]

Hi,

On de:, we had this discussion some months ago. Finally, we came to the 
conclusion that there would be nearly 3 re-elections starting every week 
which would be to much; nobody can or wans to vote three times a week in 
re-elections and additionally in new adminship requests. I don't know 
the situation in sv:; I think you have less admins than de: so it might 
be possible for you to act like you proposed.
I don't think anyone would object if any Wikipedia started to change 
adminship elections, this is no "international" subject...
On de: this problem is now handled like this:
If any sysop does "critical" things, everybody can start a desysop 
request. If a defined number of users agree to this, the admin is 
desysoped and has to re-request for adminship. If he fails, he won't be 
admitted to request adminship fro several months; on the other side, if 
the desysop-request fails, nobody might start another request within 4 
months (Yeah, this is german bureaucracy ;-) ).
