As I see it, WikiPedia is the world's greatest wonder.

Admins sway consenses ( for the good, I've found ),
it's NOT a level playing field.

Effectively, they have more votes ( virtual “dollars” );
besides, their decisions hold sway, they lay down the law.

Why an admin would do all that work for free is beyond me.
