Hi! Welcome to my userpage... I'm Will, known around here as "WJBscribe". I'm an administrator and bureaucrat. Don't hesitate to get in touch on my talkpage if you have a question or need help, whether you think I can help you as an administrator or as another editor. You can also contact me by email. I'm not as active on Wikipedia as I once was, so my apologies if I take a while to get back to you. If you need a prompt response, or someone to spend time looking into a matter, I'd suggest asking someone else. Will

Recall

I believe that those granted additional user rights by the community should be required to maintain some basic level of confidence. I recognise that often the right decision can be unpopular and that too strict a recall process might result in excessive timidity in how people use these additional rights, which would be undesirable. I don't therefore think the level of consensus needed to pass an Request for Adminship (or Request for Bureaucratship) must be demonstrated again should the question of recall arise.

However, I do think that (at the very least) the confidence of a simple majority of the community should be maintained. Accordingly, should it be demonstrated that I no longer enjoy the confidence of a majority of the community (i.e. 50% +1) in a representative discussion, I do not believe it would be appropriate for me to continue as an administrator or bureaucrat of this project.
