User:Fvasconcellos/recall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The granting of admin rights is a display of trust from the Wikipedia community, and keeping sysop privileges should be contingent to the editor's later behavior. I believe removal of administrator access, when necessary, should be a simple process, and one as painless and expeditious as possible; I have therefore been a member of Category:Wikipedia administrators open to recall since the successful closing of my RfA.

The following is intended as a straightforward guide to the process I wish to be followed if a reconfirmation of my adminship status is ever necessary.

Any editor in good standing by my definition[1] may request that I stand for reconfirmation. 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.

Immediately after acknowledging a message requesting that I stand for reconfirmation, I will analyze the rationale provided. In the unlikely event I find the behavior or action mentioned to have been indeed unbecoming of an administrator or blatantly inappropriate, 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. If, within five (5) days of creation of the subpage, six (6) editors in good standing (including the editor who initiated proceedings) have posted to the page in support of a recall, I will follow the "modified RfC process" devised by User:Lar. I will not voluntarily request removal of my privileges once the process is underway.

Should the outcome of the process involve removal of my sysop privileges, I will pursue another Request for adminship no sooner than thirty (30) days after removal of access. I will not ask any user to renominate me, although I may accept if someone offers. I will not withdraw this nomination.

These provisions will remain valid even if CAT:AOR is deleted; renamed; or superseded by any process, unless I find its replacement to be more efficient or streamlined than this "guide".
