It has come to my attention that the people who wish to remove our admins from power are new users and don't know the alternatives..

I came to this wiki in a time of transition. There was a "totalitarian" admin that banned and kicked as he pleased. There didn't have to be any reason. After a while, Andrew took power and has really changed things for the better.

Andrew is only doing what he must to make our wiki a respectable one. If you do not think so, you're free to move your articles.

This wikia is better than its been in a long time, I'm saying that from the bottom of my heart.

So not only will I say that these threads break microwiki policy, but, I would like to publicly thank Andrew and his team for all they've done for our wiki.

So no, we should not remove our admins. They are doing their job as best as they can. They're undermanned and they've not got a whole lot of quality users that qualify for the job.

Thank you for your time,

FosterIslandRepublic (talk) Hello there,

It is not ultimately just new users who wish to have these people removed (as noticed from several MicroWiki skype chat rooms). Now, I have been here since 2012, and well I've seen a lot of stuff go around on MicroWiki. I know exactly the admin you are talking about as well. By the way, Andrew did not take power after that administrator, Sebastian Schriber did (and thus all credit is due to him, to which then Sabovia came after Seb left, while the work was still being done).

Now, the wiki itself may seem stable, however I would like to say in recent episodes the administration have been abusing their powers with the adding of information to policies after users are banned (as if they just made them up). So, I feel we should remove if (notice the emphasis on the if) they do such a thing again, so I am going to have support. And to add more to the subject, I would like to say that as an former administrator of MicroWiki under the two, I rarely saw Lurk's activity, along with beind hindered and being denied by Sabovia when trying to form the MicroWiki University (tutorials) which they are supposedly working on (it was made to help people with the central topic of MicroWiki & Micronationalism), when I could have had them finished within a week and a half, instead of us waiting on something which the administration voted upon last year. I'd like to state that I do know that Andrew didn't take over after that administrator, I don't know if I typed it clearly enough (English isn't my first language). I meant that after some time and trials (without mention of other admins) he had taken the "throne".

Like I've stated, I think the administration is pretty decent. I'm unaware of the skype groups you mention, however, I do believe you're telling the truth.

I do remember the work Mr. Schriber had done on this wikia, and I appreciate him as well.

Point being, I've not *personally* seen any abuse of administrators. Maybe this being because I'm kind of a recluse in the community.

I normally see the part of the administration that bans those who break policies.

If you've any information regarding adding to policies after a ban, I'd like to research them, so that I may form a formal opinion on the matter. It is, however, at your discretion.

Thank you,

FosterIslandRepublic (talk) Okay, well take a look at this from the forum policy and after Lothian was banned (Not personally attacking, I am providing evidencial information)

http://micronations.wikia.com/wiki/MicroWiki:Forum?action=history

And he added to the personal attack policy a few hours after Lothian 1 was banned:

http://micronations.wikia.com/wiki/MicroWiki:Personal_attack?diff=328199&oldid=327802

Now, on the same day Lothian 1 was banned at 13:33, 15 February 2015 - with the adding to the policy later at 17:48, 15 February 2015 I again appreciate the information you've provided. I do not proclaim any of this as a personal attack, as you're assisting me. So, thank you.

Please do not feel like I am antagonising you or anything. I am just saying that I have a basic idea of what I believe is happening with the wiki under our admins. The proof helps me determine if I need to reevaluate or what have you.

Thank you,
