Dante-
how do you feel about the fact that he deleted his own talk page, thereby
not even leaving his explanation of the incident?

I don't think it's strictly true to say that he deleted his own talk page.
I will take them at their word that there are a group of people that we are
discussing here, and that the people at User:Viking were members of the
same group as Kils, but are not one and the same person.
As I said, the deletion of the page was a Bad Thing, but it can be undone.
Assuming that Kils understands why that was a mistake, as I assume he will
if we explain it to him, I see no danger in restoring his sysop powers.
After all, the only unreversable action that a sysop can take is the
deletion of pictures which really isn't that big of a deal anyway. If he
begins to abuse his powers, take them away for good. But, as I see it, Kils
hasn't really done anything too terrible. It's probably just been (and
PLEASE forgive me for this one) a cultural misunderstanding.
