I recall that when en:wp was having problems with vandalism of the
Main Page featured article image, Commons admins were remarkably
difficult to find. So some asked "could we have an admin on en: made
an admin on Commons for this reason?" and got back "well, why don't
you make all Commons admins admins on en: first."
We've had an administrator's noticeboard for a while now; all you need
to do is ask. I don't know who made that other comment.
Some people in the Commons community seem to want it
both ways. Is
Commons an entirely independent project or does it, as a service
project, need to open itself up to administration by people from other
projects to keep up with its actual original purpose?
Ahh, but people from other projects want it both ways too: you want our
images but jump up and down when we delete them. Yes, we need people
from other projects, mainly for language diversity.
This discussion appears to demonstrate Commons simply
isn't making
admins through its own processes anywhere near fast enough and its
processes need radical revision.
We've currently got ONE applicant.
