I'm the adopter for SubGenius Wiki. We have an editor who was made an admin over two years ago after he made only eight (8) edits on all of Wikia. He made five (5) more, then vanished for over two years. When my request for adoption went up, he returned. He has shown he does not understand the technical or social aspects of being an admin. He does not consider other editors' feelings or opinions, and continually asserts he is right and they are wrong. He also continues to demand writers produce proof of identity. He claims the Church of the SubGenius overrules the Wikia site. He's been given half a dozen Wikia links on acceptable admin and user behavior, rights and responsibilities, and so far has ignored them. He proposed he be promoted to bureaucrat. Ironically, however, he's made over 600 mostly productive edits in five days!

Do you think I've done the right thing in giving him a week to prove himself ready to be an admin? I don't think it's his fault he was elevated very prematurely. If he doesn't show he's ready, I posted that I intend to continue accepting him as an editor, but plan to remove his admin responsibilities.

ADDITION: After several conversations and warnings with that admin, the proposed removal was posted in a public forum. There are very few active editors there, and only three (including myself and that admin) have expressed an opinion on the issue. The only one who's expressed opposition to that admin having administrative responsibilities removed is that admin himself.
