This project seeks to address the role of administrators and their interaction with other editors by consolidating discussion of relevant issues.

Wikipedia is a large and growing community and it is important that we continue to advance the primary function of Wikipedia. The role of our administrators must evolve, and as a community we must embrace reform and appropriate improvements.

It's an honor and a privilege to be a member of this distinguished group of reformers. I have always felt that I had a very important role to play in shaping our admins to my liking. ChildofMidnight (talk) 05:40, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like a good idea. Let's see how it turns out. ceranthor 21:27, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Given the deeply entrenched culture of unaccountability among the admin corps(e), I seriously doubt any positive change will result from this exercise. But without some effort it is certain that nothing positive will happen. I'm willing to help the effort and to be pleasantly surprised.--R.D.H.

A long-needed wikiproject, and for everyone - this cannot just be an admin protection scheme. All kinds of future improvements to Wikipedia could go through or even start in here. Admin are central to more than Wikipedia generally admits to. Matt Lewis (talk) 15:48, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Piotrus and the mailing list really ruined Wikipedia for me this year. It was the kind of thing I always knew happened, but it was painful to see it exposed nonetheless. Hiberniantears (talk) 00:53, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
