Apparently, MZMcBride is being desysopped. I didn't think that he was an abusive admin, but he made some serious mistakes in the way he went about doing admin work.

I guess if we want to try to relate this to the "big picture", it shows that Wikipedia, in my opinion, needs a more formal, structured system to help guide its admins in how they perform project maintenance.

He wasn't that bad by today WP standard. And now he resigned at the same time when Guy and his faithful choir of sycophants threaten to ban anyone who claims cold fusion is not a Nobel deserving scientific breakthrough.

Sigh. Wikipedia is really going to the dogs.

You either added an extra "not" in there or you're misreading the situation rather profoundly. Guy thinks (rightly, from everything I've seen) that cold fusion is hookum.

Yes? So I misread the RfC. But it's still POV galore.

I think that JzG has just received his third strike and his admin privileges are as good as gone. The only thing in the way is the time it takes to wait for everyone to weigh-in on the RfC and then for someone to take it to ArbCom and then wait for ArbCom to vote on it. The new arbcom is trying to send a message. If you look at the last few case decisions, they haven't held back too much in imposing sanctions and corrective action.

I realize I'm not known for saying nice things about him but as far as cold fusion goes I'm pretty sure they'll give him a base on WP:BALLS (to quote his own essay).
