First, Wikipedia admins are not chosen by the Foundation, nor employees, but are simply elected users. Once elected you stay an admin "forever". Wikipedia en has 1268 of them.
>The Wikipedia admins have free reign to vandalize any article they want...
They don't. You can of course discuss their edits, especially if you have good arguments against them. You may ultimately call for a vote on that.
If they have gone rogue, you may signal them, and they may be removed from the role.
