Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Inactive2

Another request for de-adminship due to inactivity (5/4/0)

These two accounts have been dormant for over a year. It has been our policy to remove adminship from accounts that have been unused for a year or more, chiefly to protect against password guessing by vandals, and we should do so in these cases. If these users should return to Wikipedia in the coming year, it would be customary to restore adminship status upon request.

1. User:--_April. About 3000 contributions between 12/01-5/03 and under a dozen since then.
2. User:Scipius. About 2500 contributions betwee 2/02 - 6/03.

2. Support all requests unless any of the listed users expresses opposition to being de-admined. BLANKFAZE | (что??) 21:39, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
3. Netoholic @ 21:54, 2004 Nov 4 (UTC) -- Provisionally. A message to this effect should be left on their talk pages for at least two weeks before removing access.
4. As above Shane King 23:43, Nov 4, 2004 (UTC)
5. Support. There's no reason adminship must last forever. Angela. 00:12, Nov 5, 2004 (UTC)

Oppose de-adminship

3. Chris 73 Talk 00:36, Nov 5, 2004 (UTC) I think every admin should have its own vote. Also I would like a link to the policy. Right now I don't know the policy, i.e. if one of them comes back and wants to be an admin. I may change to support in these two cases, but I don't like the current mass-deadminship at all. -- Chris 73 Talk 00:36, Nov 5, 2004 (UTC)
4. As above, please list them separately. Until you do, I'll vote against the en gros de-adminification. -- Schnee 03:05, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Comments

• It has been our policy to remove adminship; it would be customary to restore adminship
  • Are these policies and customs enunciated somewhere?
  • Has anyone been de-admined for inactivity before?
  • Has anyone been re-admined after being de-admined for inactivity?
• User:--_April last made an edit in July 2004 - is that inactive? (to be fair, the previous one was in December 2003).
• Shouldn't there be a separate vote on each one, rather than a slate? -- ALoan (Talk) 19:17, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • I'd like to hear more about this policy, too, before I vote on this or the other Inactive one. Andre (talk) 20:39, Nov 4, 2004 (UTC)
    • I believe that User:Eloquence handled this last time. I'll leave a note on his talk page. uc
• As above, the de-nominator should sign his/her de-nominations. As for now I can only guess that the first support vote also nominated -- Chris 73 Talk 04:29, Nov 5, 2004 (UTC)
