I am currently an administrator on the English Wikipedia.
On the German Wikipedia, all administrators can be "recalled" by the community. On the English Wikipedia, the process is entirely voluntary. I personally voluntarily agree to the following recall procedure.
If 25 voters in one month, or 50 voters in six months, add their vote to the list below, I have to start a request for adminship at WP:RFA or resign adminship within 30 days, or I will be desysopped by any bureaucrat. Resigning adminship caused by votes on this page is defined as "resigning under a cloud".
— see #Recall procedure below
Adminship is justified by community trust; the community needs to have a way of dealing with a loss of justification.
