This reminds me of "Wikipedia is not a democracy"... Personally, I like to think the wiki is a bit like the Roman Republic. Matters are decided by the people of the wiki through discussion (the Senate and Legislative assemblies), and the administrators are granted special powers which they are only supposed to use in extreme circumstances (like Praetors or Dictators).
