Wikipedia:WikiProject on Adminship/Jury

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The idea behind a jury system is that adminship requests would be reviewed by a panel of people acknowledged as experts rather than the community at large. Sources of such experts would include:

• currently active bureaucrats,
• select senior administrators with both (elected by bureaucrats), or
• a subset of the above in rotation

Candidate for membership would be by independent nomination only. The criteria for selection would be:

• extensive and serious contributions including initiation of significant new articles and major contributions to a featured aticle.
• skill in adminstration as demonstrated by 6 months in grade and involvement in resolving serious controvery(ies).
