Re: Around the Administrators in 80 days....
Indeed there is. There used to be way more, peaking at 1,800. That's half a year's work. Now it's only 800, it's an easily achieved task. Done in 80 days. If that.gnngl wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2024 9:46 amThere's a reason for that.ericbarbour wrote: ↑Sat May 04, 2024 5:39 pmb) NO ONE has ever gone down the list and summarized all of them. Have you?
If Wikipedia got its act together and removed all Administrators who genuinely don't have a need for the tools, this task could probably be done in a fortnight. Hence the need to show people who holds this office currently. How many absolute wastes of space and freeloaders there are, people who will be Admins forever under their current definition of inactivity.

Formerly Sudoghost (until August 2013)
Went from passing RfA "Final (228/2/1); . ... 10 March 2023" to finishing fifth in the election for the 2024 Arbitration Committee (644/715/232, 73.52%) just 20 months later.
Then doesn't bother to add "Member of the Arbitration Committee" to their wall?

Re: Around the Administrators in 80 days....
That concludes Day 4.
I appear to be ahead of schedule in the RACE TO DESTROY ALL ADMINS.
Not insane yet. Slightly surprised I never knew Wikipedia has a blind Admin. All the diversity claptrap they speak, and for a while there always banging on about accessibility, and that poor guy just got ignored. Never got his name out there in the media. No medal for him.
Overlooked.
I see you buddy.

Active general editor, improve/maintain not patroller

Barely active Admin, only a handful of logged actions last 2 years, but at least not seemingly for their own benefit.
Fairly steady albeit reducing activity, over 75% mainspace editing.
Well, it's a user page I guess.......

Wikipedia killed the internet, you dumbass. This specific function of the internet, was meant to be the World Wide Web of hyperlinks, remember? Not a grey box of self serving internal links provided as an inescapable Google feature.I've been involved with the Internet since its earliest days and I am quite passionate about Wikipedia being one of the most important fruits of this technology

Controversially stood as a specialist Admin, and has seemingly stuck by that.
Active editor, Main page obsessive.
Inactive Administrator (bar the need to edit Main Page stuff I guess). Last logged action Feb 2022.
Bizarre user page.
Been bumbling along at high tens of edits a month for years, a long and steady goodbye?

Classic boom and bust activity profile. Low tens of edits since 2018 proves WP:INACTIVE Criteria 2 (100 edits in five years) is insufficient. Last 500 edits goes back to 2014!
