Good points. I will do my best to refute each of them in turn.

The Wiki Series does not necessarily require any degree of organization. The first series, for example, is already fully planned out without any head writer or story arc. All slots have been filled and their are legions of backups ready to step in if a planned writer backs out of the project. From this we can gather that organization in the form of story arcs and head writers is not required for a project to be a success.

There is also no particular reason for the content policy to be violated. There is no bar to templates being placed on TRS episodes, nor is there any precedent for mistitled pages and lazy authors to be feared as a problem. I think you have too little faith in our user base.

I have stated this individual point before, but I will say it again: your own views, as are MC13s, are valued, but are not to be treated as a final word on any dispute. If MC13 and yourself are given extra weight in disputes, then the series would no longer be a Wiki series. It would be "JPhil and MC13's Series", and would have to be treated as such by staff. The Wiki Series must value all suggestions from any source, and no one person should be placed above others.

Essentially, the current paradigm places extremely inefficient and bureaucratic limitations on the series, where complete freedom in scheduling and writing would allow new users to quickly and easily become involved. It is, in a word, fair by definition: everyone is given precisely equal status and opportunity.
