Wikipedia:Administrators open to recall/Admin criteria

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page is part of the overall admin recall process (which is not a formal rule) and supporting material. It is a list of criteria developed by various admins who are members of Category:Wikipedia administrators open to recall.

These are admins who have voluntarily, and of their own volition and with no external pressure, agreed to be subject to recall. They are not bound to this status in any way. Volunteers at any time and for any reason may remove themselves from this category or change their criteria or process.

Only the admin themselves should add their information to this table, as the recall process itself is voluntary. In addition to the criteria and processes developed by individual editors, a sample process is available (and is assumed to be in effect if nothing to to contrary has been specified by the admin.)

Criteria list[edit]

Current[edit]

Admin Criteria Process Descriptions Notes
Alex Bakharev criteria process from August 2006
Amorymeltzer criteria and process A (hopefully) straightforward procedure aimed at promoting discussion. It allows for unlimited recall attempts based on any action or edit at any time.
Audacity criteria process Firsfron's standards look good
Carcharoth criteria process I wish it could be simpler, but the 28 December 2007 page versions I've linked to in Lar's page detail the criteria and process for anyone wishing to ask me to stand for recall. Please check the current version for any major changes - these will not apply unless I update the links here.
Ceyockey Let us keep the initiation of the process very simple: If one or more editors feel that I am consistently violating wikipedia policies or disrupting other editors' activities in the exercise of my admin tools, that editor or editors should consult Wikipedia:Administrators open to recall/Default process and invoke it. Please don't start the process until after you have discussed things with me on my talk page. Thanks. (to be improved)
David Fuchs Criteria and process No brag, just fact (the sample criteria and process).
Deryck C. criteria and process Based on Lar's criteria, with certain simplifications and changes, in particular looser eligibility for editors whom I know offline in reflection of my involvement in offline Wikimedian activities.
Doczilla criteria process Per Lar for now while I continue analyzing what has and what hasn't worked in the past. Although, I must commend Firsfron's simple, direct approach.
Dreamy Jazz criteria and process My recall criteria are the Amorymeltzer's 19 October 2019 version of their recall criteria
Elonka Criteria and process Original system: Recall can be initiated if there is proof of abuse of admin access within the last 10 days. Recall must also be certified by 6 neutral Wikipedians in good standing, including at least two "senior" Wikipedians (Bureaucrats/Arbs/CheckUser/etc).
ErikHaugen Lifted from AGK: "file an RFC; if that holds that there are concerns, I will submit to a reconfirmation-RFA; and if that fails, I will resign."
Ev criteria process Using Lar's criteria & process for now.
Fayenatic london criteria and process Amended from User:James086/recall: 3 users or 2 admins complain within 61 days.
Firsfron criteria process Keep It Simple, Stupid.
Floquenbeam User:Floquenbeam/Recall Nutshell version: Start an RFC. Unless there is a consensus that I should remain an admin, I'll resign.
Fvasconcellos criteria process Not as simple as I'd like. May revise soon.
Hut 8.5 criteria process Includes elements from a few other peoples' recall criteria.
Josiah Rowe criteria and process Copied shamelessly from Hmwith, whose process was in turn inspired by Barneca's.
K6ka criteria and process As I had agreed to do so on my RFA. Also, please buy me a slushee. Thanks.
Keilana Criteria Process Less liberal than before, based off of EVula's requirements. Still somewhat liberal.
KrakatoaKatie criteria process Unabashedly stolen from EVula while I think about it some more, but I don't think I'll change it much.
Kubigula criteria process Based on Lar's and some others.
Lar criteria process Extensively revised in mid December 2007 to include detailed process descriptions, has talk page for comments and feedback.
MaxSem Criteria and process Via RFC
MBisanz criteria process Some novel ideas with widespread notification, check the box style reports, and BAG recalled folded in with admin recall.
Merovingian criteria process I'm trying to keep this really simple.
MLauba criteria process Modeled after MBisanz, with some tweaks based on WP:RFDA and recent WP:CDA changes. Per statement on my RfA, will of course be mooted if / when we have a proper community way to desysop.
Nosebagbear Criteria and process Mid-complexity set, requiring experienced editors but no admins, and a specific show of fault. Additional route to any Community-desysop method created. I select which of several given methods can be used.
Nightstallion criteria process I'll be using the very well developed criteria and process written up by Lar, as well. (The version linked to applies.)
Peter Southwood See my user page See my user page Same as Amorymeltzer unless I changed it. (see my user page)
Pedro criteria process Made to be easy and simple. Let's hope I never go of the rails.
Remember the dot criteria and process

-

Ritchie333 criteria and process
Roger Davies criteria process Simple and straightforward (and stolen from Shell Kinney).
SarekOfVulcan criteria process Using Lar's criteria for now, may modify later
SebastianHelm process and notes Avoiding bureaucratic overhead so we all can focus on creating a good encyclopedia.
SirFozzie criteria process Will relinquish administrator status with five editors in good standing's request.
Steve Smith criteria process
TheresNoTime criteria / process Based on User:EVula/opining/admin recall
TParis criteria / process Mix of a few different ideas - offers three options depending on speed and severity. Pretty straight forward.
utcursch criteria and process I'll step down upon a request from 5 users in good standing.
Warofdreams criteria process Using Lar's comprehensive criteria and process, for now at least.
Woody criteria process Follow Lar's processes of RfC or resignation.
Y criteria and process Will take to ArbCom or relinquish administrator status outright upon request of five administrators in good standing.
Yannismarou criteria and process Based on Firsfron and Y
zzuuzz criteria and process Fairly standard but a bit unique. Requirements may vary.

Archive[edit]

Former administrators whose criteria are still available. Kept because some of them are referenced above, and to serve as a source of ideas for new criteria and processes.

Admin Criteria Process Descriptions Notes
A. B. criteria process For now, I am committed to using the same process Lar has laid out so meticulously at User:Lar/Accountability
AGK process File an RFC; if that holds that there are concerns, I will submit to a reconfirmation-RFA; and if that fails, I will resign. (May 2008; updated Sept. 2012)
anetode I will relinquish the admin bit by request of five editors in good standing or one administrator who has earned my respect. Lar's recall disclaimers apply.
AnonEMouse criteria process Shame that something so simple has to be converted into "party of the first part shall be referred to as the party of the first part...", but so it goes.
Arjun01 criteria process For now at least I am going to using the same processes that Lar has described. In a well explained process I might add. Simple
Barneca criteria process Pretty simple. An admin conduct RfC can escalate into a recall if 4 users in good standing indicate I should resign.
Added an alternate process that I stole from Ed Poor's RfA: I'll resign if 4 of my RFA supporters request it.
Bigtimepeace criteria and process Admin recall should be a fairly simple process with minimal bureaucracy—i.e. not a big deal. Basic idea and formatting on my page is blatantly stolen from Shell Kinney. I hope I can simplify it further in the future.
Cailil criteria and process Inspired by SirFozzie's criteria & process.
Ddstretch criteria and process Home-grown, but Firsfron's simple criteria was the starting point.
Dppowell Criteria and process Adapted from Alison (and, by extension, Lar and Fvasconcellos).
Epbr123 criteria process I'll stand for a reconfirmation RfA if a user I respect advises that I should.
EVula criteria process Pretty straight-forward, and gives the requesting editor a decent shot at having me de-sysopped if I deserve it.
Fetchcomms criteria process Not to be abused.
Friday some thoughts Start an RFC-like discussion. If there is significant consensus that I've been misusing the tools and should give them up, that's what I'll do.
GermanJoe criteria and process RfC-based process with an initial talkpage phase.
Hersfold criteria and process Based kinda loosely on Lar's - and I swear on pain of indefinite blocking that I shall abide by that process should it be started.
hmwith process, criteria, & such Admin user conduct RfC (inspired by Barneca).
Jackmcbarn criteria and process One initiator, two certifiers, and then a 2-week RfA-like discussion.
Jayvdb criteria and process Marked as "temporary" pending a formal arbitrator recall process, eligibility is from functionaries, supporters, or those who have made significant contributions to Wikisource, once 5 eligible ask, steps down as arb and stands for new RfA.
Jennavecia criteria process Designed by taking those of EVula, SirFozzie and Lar and smushing them together. :D
kbthompson criteria process Lar's process seems fine for now. Should I find a better one, or a wider consensus emerge, I reserve the right to change my choice.
Kirill Lokshin criteria process Very simple; the basic idea is borrowed from Shell Kinney.
Kwsn criteria process Simply using Lar's method.
Luna Santin criteria process Composed after reviewing the work of other admins in the category, but is especially based on the subpages created by Lar and Alison (whose in turn is based on Fvasconcellos's)
Mtmelendez criteria process It's simpler than it looks.
Nancy criteria process Like Pedro's but with a longer self-selected list of potential participants.
Persian Poet Gal criteria process I am comfortable with what Lar has put together, may customize my criteria in the future.
Revolving Bugbear criteria process I plan to write my own criteria at some point, but until then, I will use Lar's.
RHM22 criteria and process I will voluntarily relinquish all administrative privileges if petitioned to by four members in good standing.
Riana criteria process Not as liberal as I'd like it to be, I'll try revising it in the coming days. Any feedback welcome :)
Royalguard11 criteria process To the point I think.
Sean William criteria process Short, simple, to the point.
Singularity criteria process Should be relatively simple...actually a combination of User:David Fuchs's and User:Husond's criteria.
Tbo 157 criteria process Will resign or start an RfC. Consensus will be judged by an uninvolved trusted user selected by the clerk.
Tim Vickers criteria process Simple approach from Firsfron
Walton One criteria and process My own distinct criteria and process. I will step down on the request of any three users in good standing.
WGFinley criteria and process Blatantly stolen from AGK involving RFCU
xDanielx criteria and process Fairly typical; involves RFCU
