List of admins who claimed to be open to recall until someone wanted to recall them Options

[Apathetic]

1. Herostratus, notorious pedophile POV-pusher, is apparently in prison right now for possessing child pornography. Has anyone tried to revoke his adminship?

Whatever the the hell this "incident" and his current living arrangements are, he appears in this edit to imply that another person has access to his account.

This is sufficient basis to de-sysop him and block his account until further notice, I think.

Ugh. Indeed. Where do such requests, go, AN?

Right to ArbCom. I'm going to shoot them an email.

[Herschelkrustofsky]

I propose we merely refer to them as 'elonkated.'

And yet, he (or his court-appointed "majordomo") continues to "edit".

What obsession. What bad craziness.

Damn, I wish I hadn't clicked your link, which led in turn to Zichy Mihály rajz.jpg (safe for work - just - although you may get funny looks). Anyone care to explain how the Sum Of All Human Knowledge is improved by that? My apologies for ever doubting anyone who ever mentioned just what a cesspool that place is becoming.

Not linked to an article on en.wiki. On wiki.de it's linked to Kindesmisshandlung which I guess is clear enough. But is that old guy wearing a yarmulke? Perhaps they missed that on wiki.de. So 1890's Hungarian eroticism is a little more complicated than we thought....

So herostratus has removed that nasty picture. Isnt that a good edit?

Thats because herostratus just removed the link.

Not sure what point youre making but theres nothing odd in a late 19th century East European schoolteacher wearing a skullcap.

Snappy!

That list is a laff-riot. And a good example of WP's misgovernanace.

Look at some of the names on the list.

1. Elonka...well, you know all about that thing.....
2. Herostratus, notorious pedophile POV-pusher, is apparently in prison right now for possessing child pornography. Has anyone tried to revoke his adminship?
3. GlassCobra? What an embarrassment.
4. Ditto for Friday.
5. Nishkid64, famous juvenile banhammer.
6. Plus a number of people I personally find distasteful: Chillum, Bisanz, Tiptoety, NW.

If Wikipedia were not an ugly joke, those freaks
(and probably a few more freaks on the open-to-recall list)
would have already been recalled.

Ahem, now I was recalled at Wikipedia:Administrators_open_to_recall/Past_requests#MBisanz and let the process run its course without complaint or withdrawal, so I do object to the appellation.

The lead-off batter here surely would be Navou a.k.a. Mercury a.k.a. var. al. nom.—or need I re-tell that story?

Times like these I wish Rootology's project was still up and running. I really should see about getting an account over at wikitruth.info, or perhap$ $tarting my own BAD$ITE.

Afraid that's no longer possible, m'dear...for they have rode off into the sunset.
But if it were, and I had any pull at all I'd certainly put in a good word or two for you.


I suppose the new community deadmining proposal is an improvement over this charade of voluntary recall. Too bad it is doomed by the constipation of consensus.

I don't get it. Did somebody lock the database or did 19 err… 16 users somehow agree to stop editing? Are they all the same person or what?

In any case if I had something like that I know I'd run out of money before I ran out of will, cf. E.D.

Guess you have more will than they did.
Best as I can figure they simply lost interest...it was not that surprising really-updates became fewer and farther between. It is hard to top a story like Marsden and besides they had been at since March 06.
