Wikiversity talk:Candidates for Custodianship/SB Johnny 2

Could be a community review instead?
Since SB_Johnny is currently a custodian and bureaucrat, I suggest that this page would be more appropriate as a Community Review. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 06:50, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed. This is not the appropriate place for such a discussion. --mikeu talk 12:30, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * You thought that closing a discussion inappropriately started in the wrong forum when it was unanimously pointed out that procedures were not followed was appropriate. Ottava Rima (talk) 13:51, 25 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Community Review is not within policy, is not accepted by the community, and adminship rights have nothing to do with it. Jtneill, this was pointed out and it is another bad mark against you as a Bureaucrat must be familiar with our policies, which CR was never one. Ottava Rima (talk) 13:50, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Decision to desysop, by policy, is made, after the prescribed discussion, by a local bureaucrat, who then takes the matter to meta for action by a steward. Above, I see two bureaucrats objecting to this process being presented as a "confirmation hearing," implying that consensus is required to confirm, with a third being the target, being almost every active 'crat, and leaving this open will just waste time. Ottava is probably blockable already, even bannable, for what he's done in filing this (clear signs of off-wiki coordination and fixed decision through that is just one factor) and threatening other users with block. I suggest speedy close. Any Community Review that is started may refer to this page, so any comment and evidence will not be lost.

As I consider this an emergency, likely to cause serious disruption to ordinary community process and activity, I intend, writing this, to close the attached page and to enforce that, pending review by any neutral custodian; any custodian may re-open, reversing my action, and any user may file a Community Review. --Abd 16:40, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The decision is not made by a Crat but by a Steward. A Crat merely judges if there is consensus. And if two Crats want to object to the process then Meta will process it anyway - after all, you opened the door to ignoring policy and procedure for such.

Closed
I have closed the discussion per the above. Please do not reopen without consensus, I'm declaring an emergency and will, pending review, act in spite of normal (and obvious) recusal requirements. Please be careful with this, this is not an ordinary editorial process. I intend to use custodial tools, if needed, in the absence of specific objection from any custodian. --Abd 17:03, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
