Picture of the Day
Lord Kelvin (26 June 1824 – 17 December 1907) was a British mathematician,
mathematical physicist and engineer. Born in
Belfast, he was
Professor of Natural Philosophy at the
University of Glasgow for 53 years, where he undertook significant research, including on
electricity and the formulation of the first and second
laws of thermodynamics. He was also the first to determine the correct value of
absolute zero, and the
Kelvin scale of temperature is named in his honour. Kelvin received the
Copley Medal in 1883, served as the
president of the Royal Society from 1890 to 1895, and in 1892 became the first British scientist to be elevated to the
House of Lords. This photograph, taken circa 1900, shows Kelvin resting on a
binnacle (the stand for a marine compass) of his invention, and holding a marine azimuth mirror.Photograph credit: T. & R. Annan & Sons; restored by

The following are mirrored from User:BlankVerse's page, who's sentiments here I agree with. I have not personally had any problems with admins, but I do see it as a problem that the system is so open to abuse currently. The user base is so large, there are always people who will act differently once they feel they have power over people.
Just one part of the solution: There are some editors who don't necessarily need to be banned, but just need a
time out, which is why the Wikipedia has a
temporary blocking process. Well admins are editors too, and they also occasionally step over the bounds of appropriate behavior for editors. What is worse is that they can use their admin tools to do their misbehavior.
Right now there is no quick and effective way to punish a misbehaving administrator or even stop their misbehavior. If another admin blocks them, they can unblock themself. If an article is protected, they can edit it anyway. If they are in a revert war, they can continually use their rollback tool. And they can do all of this basically with impunity.
Because admins are trusted members of the Wikipedia community I feel that their misbehavior must be taken more seriously than those actions of other editors. There needs to be a small group of trusted supervisor administrators who have the ability to temporarily block misbehaving admins from doing any editing for periods of time up to a week and removal of admin powers for at least a month based upon the severity of the misbehavior. Any further misbehavior would be grounds for permanent removal as an administrator and they would have to reapply at Requests for adminship.
