The proper behavior of a Rouge administrator can be described by five pillars of evil that define their character:
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia
incorporating only material deemed to be "encyclopedic". This term need not have a consistent definition, but is always in alignment with whatever an administrator thinks.
Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view
and since administrators are community-appointed stewards, whose point of view could possibly be more neutral?
Wikipedia is free content that anyone can use, edit, and distribute
Wikipedians should interact in a respectful and civil manner
with administrators even when you don't agree with them. Be civil (note: ordinary users only). Avoid edit wars with admins, as they are always right; remember that there are 6,919,495 other articles on the English Wikipedia to work on and discuss, so why don't you go somewhere else (and counting) if you've got a problem? Act in good faith (Note: administrators can still assume bad faith on your part), and assume good faith on the part of administrators.
Wikipedia has no firm rules
Note
[edit]This page describes Rouge administrators' fundamental principles. These principles pre-date the creation of this page.
