Hi,

You're quoting my post in which I say that I *could* revert any edit
without having super special powers (just the same any account holder
who is capable of programming has), and that I hesitate to *do* it
unless it is clear that everybody's happy with it.

It seems to me that Wikipedia admins, at least at the stage quoted by
you, were something different - accounts that could do more than normal
accounts. The problem that I was referring to - on what *basis* should
action by taken - was neither solved nor discussed there.

Bye
Frederik
