Can you beat this?
A Wikipedia Administrator cannot unblock themselves (unless they were the one who blocked themselves), because Fred Bauder wouldn't lie down and let his ArbCom candidacy be derailed by multiple Administrators violating their prohibition against acting with the appearance of bias; but they can block people who block them, because poor password security exposes them to compromise by the Trump Penis Vandal.
How about this? Get better Administrators.
Just a suggestion.

Won't happen. It's like General Motors: "too big to fail". If it does fail (and I expect it will), someone in the web industry will cough up millions of dollars to keep it alive.
Let's just hope Fred Bauder isn't involved.

You can't save Wikipedia with money. They've been trying that strategy for a decade. The only effective use they have ever found for money, is PR.

How true. To fix wikipedia you have to rewrite it, just Whaledad and I did with Wikiquote. But cleaning up 1500 quotes was years of work and cost me a SanFanBan because Romaine and friends freaked out.
