== Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? == 

 To answer the question you posed to me on my talk page, I will say that it is the community of content-builders who will guard the guards themselves, just as in a normal democracy. The elected assembly, content review committee, and admin review committee will be much more easily guarded by means of regular democratic election as opposed to our failed model of "consensus", which skews power enormously to those who have the capacity to engage in endless debates and edit wars rather than help to construct the encyclopedia. Consensus works on a small scale, and most decisions will continue to be local, but for encyclopedia-wide issues I think that democracy is the only way to fairly represent all members of the encyclopedia in guarding the guards themselves.
