This page in a nutshell: In actuality, you are (sadly) not a harbinger of Justice. Nothing on Wikipedia is restrained to a sole editor. A justification of "because I can" for an edit means you shouldn't make the edit.

Wikipedia Philosophy[edit]

Contradictions within Wikipedia[edit]

There are times when specific actions are necessary for all editors and justification is sought ex post facto or is assumed via lack of concerns addressed to you. To pounce on major cases of disruption is encouraged, such as with vandalism, unreferenced personal information, matters of legal threats or violence and other things that are introduced to all editors as important matters of civility and community strength in readings upon becoming a new user. Administrators have significantly more cases where immediate action is taken, such as speedy deletion or page protections and have been given the trust of the community to hold that position when applying. Despite adminship presently being position "for life", admins can and (in the opinion of the essay author) should be held accountable for their actions just as any other editor. All administrator action edits can be reviewed and changed by other administrators, and incredibly strict reversion guidelines as always in place for them.

Other Applications[edit]

1604's The Tragedy of Valentinian by John Fletcher uses the phrase "I am justice" in reference to divine right and political theory under Monarchy, the prevailing government structure and practice at the time.
In the anime series Death Note, the anti-hero Light Yagami frequently justifies murder with rationale "I am justice", claiming the act it reasonable if the goal is to better society.
The contradictions of this theory form Wikipedia's sole "rule" of ignoring all rules, however it is important to note that at Wikipedia, we always assume such actions are in good faith.
