Wikipedia:Community de-adminship/RfC

This is a Request for comment (RfC) on a proposal to implement Community de-adminship (CDA) on the English Wikipedia. Community de-adminship (a form of Administrator Recall), would be a method for the Wikipedia community to remove the administrator tools from existing Administrators who have lost the confidence of the community.

  • You can read the CDA proposal here.
  • You can read an F.A.Q., prepared by editors who worked on it and support it, here.

This poll has closed. (Please note that discussion is still open on the talk page, and will remain so.)


The proposal has closed as failed. The final poll numbers are 167 (44%) support, 190 (50%) oppose, and 25 (6%) neutral. (Looking only at the supports and opposes, the percentages are 47% support and 53% oppose.) A script providing analysis of some of the voting trends can could once be found here.

I urge editors not to waste time arguing over whether certain !votes should or should not be counted, and, instead, to move forward to examine what can be learned from this discussion. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:04, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
