3.  Wikipedia has an administrator who edits under the names "Nearly Headless Nick" and "Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington."  His own user page says he "died on October 31, 1492 and is the resident ghost of Gryffindor tower."  Wikipedia grants administrative privileges to editors with frivolous names like these?!<ref>When an article on Conservapedia was contributed to Wikipedia, there was a formal discussion[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Conservapedia] of whether it should be deleted. This administrator was the one who made the final judgement that the outcome of the discussion was that there was rough consensus for deletion, and performed the actual deletion of the article.</ref>

This administrator was the one who made the final judgment to delete the article. Unlike a judge or other decisionmaker, he provided no reason for his decision.  He did not explain whether it was based merely on majority vote by anonymous postings (which would be silly) or on specific rules (rules that would require immediate deletion of thousands of other Wikipedia entries) or simply on personal whim at that moment.  Hours of work and useful information was erased as a result.</ref>
