*{{Oppose}} — I wholeheartedly {{support}} new, more active administrators, but let's face it, there is no limit to the number of admins (or bureaucrats) a wiki can have. Thus, there is no need to remove administrators in order to elect new ones. I personally would like to hear from these admins and bureaucrats themselves ''why'' they are inactive. I believe that school work and such is a different case from user suddenly going MIA. I know another wiki where there was one very active bureaucrat and several active admins; the bureaucrat went MIA one day and the admins left the project, but now the wiki is doing well again and has more active admins than it ever did. The original bureaucrat's access has been since revoked. If it is obvious that a user has no plans whatsoever to contribute, then I will support the removal of his rights. Otherwise, let's question first and shoot later. --[[User:Jack Phoenix|Jack Phoenix]] <sub>([[User talk:Jack Phoenix|Contact]])</sub> 12:24, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

:I can see where you're coming from regarding the number of sysops, and true to the word, there shouldn't be any limits. However, we're not doing this solely to elect new admins. Adminship isn't and shouldn't be a [http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2003-February/001149.html big deal], neither should the number of sysops. We indeed did question the listed users, and more or less all of them (save maybe one or two) announced their "retirement" as an administrator. That said, no one's saying none of them won't/can't come back to contribute.
