I disagree.

How is the populous always a bad idea? I don't use the term "reform" loosely. Reform means reform. Besides from that, I'm not actually noticing any difference that he's made? Or, hang on, has he made a difference?

And why would that be?

Because there's a divide between staff and everyone else such that they presume bureaucracy to be horrible, when it's very much your friend. Take the recent rule change. Ratified by the people. Never endorsed by any other admins properly, and not implemented by Auraestus. To give it another name it amounts to a coup, and if it's to be enforced then I'd really laugh. It needs official recognition. It lacks it. Need I say more about popular vote? He has made a difference. He's given the wiki energy again.

He's often busy, said it himself. He's quite often absent, and is not a very active member of the community.

It was recognized by Shade and Imrahil. Indom's barely here. Why shouldn't the people control the wiki? Aurae's barely here, and whenever he is he gets swamped by people's complaints. With Shade gone much of the time that basically leaves Eureka in charge and as much respect as I have for Eureka I don't think he should have ultimate control. Imrahil and Eureka balance each other out, hence why I chose them. How? I sense a disturbance in the placebo effect.

If we go solely by RP posts, then I'm not active at all. Otherwise, Shade doesn't get involved with the rest of it - but that doesn't make him absent or hardly active.

Recognised seems to be used loosely here. Shade endorsed it while it was being proposed, but it was actually implemented without any other actions except for Imrahil's own. It was implemented solely by Imrahil, and if you lot are moaning about Eureka not being the best in charge, just think about how Imrahil basically tried to perform a coup.
