IIRC, this wasn't about you. But it seems relevant to the conversation on what is and isn't okay to use Central for. Starstuff wrote: The block is final and not open for discussion, I'm afraid. As far as I'm concerned, that's the end of it. Your fellow admins could disagree, but it doesn't seem as though that's going to happen, and it's (collectively) your right to make the decision for any reason or none.

Sajuuk: I think I am seeing a pattern in your problems on various wikis. You tend to think, it seems, that there is "one right way" to run a wiki. For example, you say that it's not okay to quote Wikipedia as a source. Where, in fact, that's totally a decision for each wiki and its community. Wikipedia itself may suggest people don't, but they also provide help on how best to cite them. But even if Wikipedia's advice were totally firm, it would still be the decision of the wiki's admins and community whether to cite them or not.

In fact, there are very few things on a wiki that have to be done one specific way. There is room for all sorts of variation. I would say the main rule that's universal (other than those in the ToU) is that the community has the ultimate say on who should keep admin rights. Note, even there that's "keep" not "get". There are many possible ways for an admin to be chosen on a wiki. Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations (yes, that's a geeky quote, deal with it ;) )
