Forum:CT Archive/Bureaucrat veto

Since the creation of Wookieepedia's RFU and RFRUR page, bureaucrats have had the power to veto any nomination. This was established because people feared unsuitable candidates would pass the adminship process. Essentially, the Wookieepedians of that time were worried that they themselves, as a group, could not be completely trusted with handing out power.

But I say that time has passed. The community no longer needs bureaucrats to act as "babysitters." I strongly believe that most Wookieepedians are reasonable people that are capable of making their own decisions. An unsuitable candidate for adminship would never pass the RFA process today, regardless of bureaucrat vetos.

In light of this, I propose we abolish bureaucrat veto rights. No longer would Imperialles, jSarek, Riffyphon1024 and WhiteBoy hold an, in my opinion, unreasonable political power on Wookieepedia.

Abolish bureaucrat veto rights

 * 1) Per my arguments above. Also, comments like this (line 53) worry me. --Imperialles 16:48, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
