Nup. I'm happy for jaranda/jbeach56 to be resysopped. Has 3 FAs and is a no brainer to be resysopped. The dig at the page deletion is no less acrimonious than stuff done many other sysops which hasn't led to major repercussions.

Any admin who has abused his or her power to delete an article under AfD discussion in explicit defiance of the process should be desysopped, absolutely. If it has happened before and hasn't led to major repercussions, then that is a major problem. The worst quality an admin can have is an unwillingness to respect community processes and decisions, and that's what Jaranda displayed here.

I disagree. His reconfimation RFA only barely passed, and when I switched to oppose, Jaranda PM'd me and begged me to switch back, promising he'd never ask for his tools to be removed again. I think his sysop/desysop must be a record on Wikipedia. He passed on his 7th RFA (a record in itself) in July 2006. Resigned a month later. Became an admin again in later that month (August), then resigned again in October. Resysopped in November, then a nice long break before removing them in June. Had a reconfirmation RFA that barely passed, a month later, then resigned for the fourth time in September. Now he's an admin again, on another account. Frankly, I find it ridiculous. This should be a case of the stewards either refusing the desysop request in the first place, or if he goes mad, never ever let him be an admin again. I personally find it an abuse of the process. Jaranda/Jbeach56, next time, JUST LEAVE! Don't ask to be desysopped every single time.

The question I still ask though is, when will he resign again? blink.gif

I'm only in the project now because of veropedia, if you don't want me to become an admin (I know who you are) Take it to ARBCOM then, I never fucking abused my tools, I barely passed my reconfirmation request because "abuse" of process,.

I only apologized for deleting the article, that's because I acted like a fool, jimbo should apologize as well, even though i doubt he will, i'm avoiding jimbo anyways and I still don't think he's a good leader for the project, he lost his touch with the community and doesn't know ANYTHING what is going on in there.


what good is a "community" when it is rife with sockpuppets? What good is "community" and "consensus" when editing disputes are "settled" when 3 socks of the same person bully another person via "consensus" into the socks' POV on an article? a POV that is shared by a complicit admin who has no problems with the sock shows?

if I hear "community" one more time in regards to what WP's top priorities should be, I'm going to JzG all over my supper

You clearly did abuse your tools - you knowingly deleted an article in order to get yourself desysopped. I don't suppose you'll abuse your tools... I'm just tired of seeing you sysopped/desysopped so often (yes, it's only been 5 times, that's still a lot). And I'm not going anywhere near ArbCom, thanks... ohmy.gif

In the grand scheme of things WGAS (who gives a shit).

Ultimately, how does it hurt the world as a whole, either way?
Ultimately, where is the fairness in any community?
Ultimately, how does it hurt any of you?

I wonder if anyone has done an experiment to see how many sock puppets that could get away with, and how many articles they could control before being found out?

I think you're all asking the wrong question. What I want to know is when will Jaranda tell WP to piss off for good? Maybe after he endures the next round of "community" discussion about his worthiness.
