QUOTE(gomi @ Fri 19th January 2007, 8:44am)  I'm not willing to believe that any admin (or at least any admin not already on the dark side) can successfully oppose Slim/Jayjg. I'm not so sure. Like Bush and Cheney, this previously feared duo may be past the zenith of their power. As I noted earlier, Ashibaka faced down both SV and what's-his-name, the little pimply-faced guy, on the issue of blanking or deleting my user page. |

Ashabaka has no fear, though, and is the epitome of "admins who rawk the DGAF".

Ghoul : a person who is active on Wikipedia Review and who's main goal is to invade the privacy of a person on wikipedia, or someone who spends a lot of time going over diffs and offwiki postings to attempt to score points in an argument.

The admins that I think are the best, based on my experience on Wikipedia and on Wikipedia Review are as follows:
Dan100 - worked to review the Poetlister case, and get it all sorted out. Sjakelle - was heavily involved in fairly closing AFD cases, and was positive in all things, looking for a win-win solution. Karmafist (since de-sysopped and later banned) - was great in AFDs, helping newbies and generally being great to everyone. Everyking (since de-sysopped) - stood up for me as a victim of newbie bashing when I first used Wikipedia, and pleaded with admins not to ban me. Has demonstrated a willingness to make Wikipedia a good place for everyone. Linuxbeak - did his best during the Daniel Brandt saga to try to sort things out, then later did his best to sort out the deal with Blu Aardvark and Selina being returned. Both ultimately failed, but through no fault of his own. Was generally very nice to everyone. Charles Matthews - has always been a fair admin and a good arbcom member. Eloquence - his handling of the abuse of the spam blacklist was admirable, has always been a person keen on free speech, and on stopping people from censoring WR Angela (Beesley) - sadly she seems to be getting wrapped up in all of this but seems to be a genuinely nice person. Kelly Martin (no longer an admin) - as an admin she was abusive, but she has since explained why and done her best to demonstrate the various problems on Wikipedia, whilst at the same time making excuses for her own bad behaviour. If only more abusive admins could end up like her. Cyde - similarly to Kelly Martin, seems to have "seen the light" and stopped being abusive. Sadly, with the Badsites arbcom case, he looks like he might get de-sysopped over it I could give a worst list, but that's not what this thread is about. |

I agree with Karmafist being one of the best, when he was there.
I don't know enough about the others. Angela Beesley gets a neutral vote from me. She's okay in person. On-wiki, I have no idea, I've never interacted with her there. |

This, of course, is WP's POV. You'd have to talk to Karmafist about what he thought of it all. I still find it ironic that under WP:NPA and BADSITES that links to WR are banned yet the evidence used against Karmafist is a link to WR right on his User Page! |
