Linea 389:
::I agree with desysoping, however they have my support if they ever wish to resume activity here. It is done by consensus here followed by a request at [[meta:Request for permissions#Removal of access]].
::With regards to the general point about desysoping, Commons has a regular sweep of [[commons:Commons:Administrators/Inactivity section|inactive sysops]], English Wikisource has annual reconfirmations, and Multilingual Wikisource has periodically removed [[oldwikisource:Wikisource:Nominations_for_adminship/Archives#Removals_of_adminship|inactive sysops]]. I think the Multilingual Wikisource approach is an appropriate level of bureaucracy for Latin Wikisource. While security concerns are a valid reason to remove inactive sysops as a preventative measure, I believe it is also important to keep the [[Special:listadmins|sysop list]] in sync with the set of people who can be called on to help.

I still remain unconvinced of the value of this project. There are so many better places on the Internet to find Latin texts of known provenance. ''The Latin Library'' is superior to this site in every respect. The Packard Institute will send you a free CD with the whole of Latin literature up to Late Antiquity on it. ''Vicifons'', however, is filled with third rate editions and mongrel version made more idiosyncratic by drive-by 'improvements'. (Vicifons Horace, by the way, is not what it purports to be) Occasionally in my reading, I find something really obscure, the ''Anthologia Latina'' or the ''Cento Probae'' for instance, texts not included in either the Latin Library or the Packard CD. I frequently type out these sort of texts by way of becoming a more engaged reader. I have in the past uploaded these texts here, which seems rather silly now because the most recent editions of such works are usually available on GoogleBooks. I may yet add things here, but not as [[Usor:Aramgar|Aramgar]]. Aramgar is happy to cede the mop for a pointless wiki to somebody more qualified, perhaps somebody with OCD, Asperger's, or a wish to emulate Sisyphus.
