Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Fæ.

Should we start a betting pool on how long it stays up and who closes/deletes it?

So it was Lar who secretly vouched for Mr. Van Haeften's RFA.

No one seems to have a problem with the "secret, self-selected, trust us, really" vetting system. And then there's the whole weird internal thing where the actions of an account are considered, rather the judgement and qualifications of the person operating the account.

And there you are holding the essence of Wikipedia in your hand. They argue that because it is completely transparent and that all you can see is the actions of the account, nothing else matters.

The bit about the secret vouching however rather fucks it up, though. "You should trust those whom you are supposed to trust", as one administrator put it.
