Hi there :) In a real sense, your question is a little too hypothetical to answer. I don't really know what you mean by "things that don't belong on the wiki", and that makes it hard to give you a single answer.

If by that you mean actual vandalism — pornography, hate speech and the like — then your best action is probably to contact the good people at SOAP and let them scrub away the offensive material.

If, though, you mean stuff that is broadly on topic, but against your personal view of the wiki's subject, that's trickier. You'll have to decide how to handle things — and, really, that's a good test of an admin. Come down too harsh, and you might scare away an editor who would have been one of your greatest contributors.

In such a case, I'd suggest your first step be to talk to the person and try to get them to understand your position. If you can work it out, you'll have passed a reasonable leadership test that will help ensure you get to adopt.

"Stopping" the person should be a course of last resort.
