User:Dppowell/Accountability

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

These criteria are adapted from those used by Alison (talk · contribs), who, through her persistent kindness and level-headedness, has often provided me with an example to follow in the execution of the administrator's role.

The following is intended as a guide to one possible process with which I will readily cooperate if a reconfirmation of my adminship status is ever necessary.

Any three editors in good standing[1] may request that I stand for reconfirmation on my talk page. I respectfully ask that, if any user feels this is necessary, a detailed rationale of what they find objectionable in my behavior and/or any specific actions they find unacceptable be provided. If it is determined by more than five editors in good standing[1] (or more than two-thirds of the eligible[1] participants in the discussion, whichever is greater) that the recall process is being initiated in bad faith, then it may be nullified.

Upon acknowledging the recall request, I will analyze the rationale provided. In the event that I agree with the rationale, I will immediately request removal of my sysop privileges and waive the remainder of the recall process. Otherwise, I will:

  1. Create a subpage in my userspace for recall requests to be tallied. Comments by ineligible users will be respectfully ignored.
  2. Call attention to the recall on the administrators' noticeboard and the "miscellaneous" section of the Village Pump.
  3. If, within seven (7) days of creation of the subpage, ten (10) editors in good standing (including the three who initiated the process) have posted to the page in support of a recall, I will either resign my adminship voluntarily or open a formal request for comment on my administrative conduct. The creation of the RFC will be announced on the subpage. Note that at least one other person must second the request for the RFC before it will be certified by a clerk.

Should the outcome of the RFC involve removal of my sysop privileges, I will not pursue another Request for Adminship for at least six months from the date when my sysop access was removed, unless I am nominated by an administrator. I will not accept such a nomination less than 30 days after my sysop access has been removed.

These provisions will remain valid even if CAT:AOR is deleted; renamed; or superseded by any process, unless I find its replacement to be more efficient or streamlined than this "guide" or decide to opt-out before any action is taken.
