Minor wording issue

Please may I suggest a minor word change for the remedy that states Alkiver is desysopped. I'm of personal belief that the words "stripped of his administrative privileges" is possibly a little heavy handed. How about something a little more neutral like "is to have his administrator privileges revoked". Just something for you to consider. Ryan Postlethwaite 15:25, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm not seeing even a smidgen of a difference in meaning between those two. Picaroon (t) 16:01, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Maybe it's just a UK thing then, being stripped of something here is quite an abrupt term, I wouldn't exactly say incivil, just not the politest way to put something across. If you say that his tools are revoked, it sounds a little more official and a nicer way to convey it. There's no change in the actual meaning, just the way it is said.

"Stripped" doesn't have a negative connotation in the US... for example, it's actually the preferred term when an athlete loses a championship outside of the playing field. east.718 at 19:33, 10/25/2007
