Experience has it every so often someone "comes back" from IRL to find changes in the wiki, like who got promoted and complaints ensue. You can see this for yourself by a few select forum threads of this nature (I'll let Cocopuff drop some links).

When the *procedure* is followed, they can be told, there where announcements they could have voiced their opinions about…

Look, if you had followed the guidelines, you'd be done by now. And frankly, part of what Staff looks for is how well potential adoptees/promotees follow instructions. Faithful in little things, faithful with larger possibilities.

And yes, I had to learn a lot of these things the hard way myself. I never failed an adoption, but I've been delayed by skipping steps of the procedure and cutting shortcuts. Also at least once I got only partial rights and had to wait a couple years to get bureaucrat too.
