User:BanyanTree/recall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Admins, as glorified janitors, should be accountable to the non-admin body of editors. However, adminship often calls for controversial decisions or implementations of judgments that cannot please everyone. Admins should not feel that their day-to-day moppage, or even unintended screw-ups, put their adminship at risk. This page elaborates on, and takes precedence before, the procedure listed on Category:Administrators open to recall.

Only a user who is listed at Category:Administrators open to recall may start a recall on my adminship. Once I am notified on my talk page, one of three things will happen:

1. Five more users with at least "500 mainspace edits and over one month of tenure" will repeat the request within six months from the date that the recall began. Once the sixth request is made, I will request to be desysopped. I may or may not put myself back up at WP:RFA.
2. Six months pass without the the necessary number of requests made. The recall will be considered unsuccessful and the slate wiped clean.
3. The admin who started my recall removes him or herself from Category:Administrators open to recall, in which case my recall ends immediately. A new recall may not be started for one month.

That's it. Hopefully there isn't a giant gaping hole in my logic.
