In principle, Wikipedia is the encyclopedia that anyone can administer. There are indeed a number of a-no-nymous administrators on most of the mediawiki projects I've seen (WMF controlled or not). In practice, many communities seem to develop a certain number of star blockers who can be caricatured as hang(wo)men, bounty hunters, border patrol agents. Not all administrators play this role, of course, as you get a lot of "blood" on your hands. Some executioners on en.wp who have commanded or caught my attention include...
Dennis Brown
- The "stuff I've deleted" from my defining user page coz that's-just-not-who-I-am-anymore diff -- Sept. 11, 2017
- is said to be tight with Drmies and seems to be. I wonder if Drmies knows Dennis Brown from Adam.
- Dennis Brown, "I don't want to be no general". [1]
- a messy execution, completely lacking in transparency from what I've seen for the moment.
Goldenring
- Made me bigly ineffable in one of his first cases. Later, he would try to gag Marek and find himself being toolboxed by the Mob. (wikirev)
Bishonen
- An ext-roarRR-dinary albatross
Drmies
- As a general rule, doesn't know people from Adam.
Sandstein
- Very different from the others listed above. There have been tensions with Bishonen over the (very existence of the) AE board, for example.
