Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 23:38, 29 January 2008

This is a page for requesting the recall (desysopping, removal of administrator tools) of administrator Keilana (me).

Criteria/Rules/Etc.

1. The user(s) requesting recall should use this page to make their request, but notify me on my talk page.
2. The requests do not have to be at the same time.
3. I will keep my word, and immediately request desysopping at m:Requests for Permissions following 8 requests (with at least 2 admin) within 24 hours (after the initial request) for me to step down, bypassing the rest of the process.
4. The 6 non-admin petitioners must (in this case) have at least 100 edits in any mainspace; the initial requestor does not have to meet this requirement.
5. I will not refuse any requests for my recall except obvious bad-faith requests, if I refuse a good-faith request, please inform a steward with a diff and a citation of this sentence, and the appointed clerk will determine if the request was in bad faith. If it is determined to be valid, I will be immediately desysopped without discussion.
6. An administrator in good standing will clerk this request, determining a valid concern for recall and good faith requests. Their decision is final.
7. If the threshold of 5 requests is not made within 24 hours, the initial editor requesting recall will select 3 editors and two admins in good standing to participate, and I will select 2 editors and 2 admins to participate, who must be approved by the initial requester.

Recall Procedures

If 8 users in good standing (defined above) request my recall within 24 hours of the inital request, I will immediately revoke the sysop tools by a request at Meta and bypass the rest of the process. If the initial user(s) request a specific avenue for reconfirmation, I will stand via that avenue. However, if they do not specify an avenue, I will stand for a reconfirmation RfA after a period of at least 1 month. When the initial request for recall is initiated, I will post a comment at WP:AN or WP:AN/I to notify the community of the beginning of my recall.

Process

1. One user must inform me on my talk page of their intent to recall me, then begin the process on this page using the section below.
2. If, within 24 hours of the initial request, at least 8 eligible (see above) users with at least 2 admins in their number support the request, I will immediately stand down and bypass the process.
3. If the threshold is not met, the initial litigant will choose 3 editors and 2 admins to review the request, and I will choose 4 editors, with at least 2 admins, subject to approval by the original user.
4. The user(s) who initially requested recall will make their case below, and the board will, after a week's period of review by the board and community discussion (on the talk page), vote for or against desysopping. A majority in favor will result in desysopping, a minority will result in no change in tools, and a lot of lessons learned.

Avenues possible for reconfirmation

Other avenues are possible.

1. Waiting period of at least 1 month, then a public request on WP:BN, WT:RFA, and/or WP:AN to ask for any objections before a 'crat flips the bit.
2. Re-confirmation RfA after a suitable period as a non-admin
3. Request for Comment
4. Request to the Arbitration Committee
5. In extreme cases, permanent desysopping.

For Requesting Recall

This section will be used for recall, just to keep things organized. I will ask one admin in good standing who has no personal involvement with me to "clerk" procedures if needed.
