requires participants to be an extended-confirmed editor with 30 days and 500 edits tenure. However, it's generally enough to make the voter look very silly and lose the respect of the community if they do or say something inappropriate, particularly with unqualified oppose votes, very long oppose votes, demanding excessively high criteria such as a high edit count, long tenure, Featured Articles, asking unnecessary or implausible questions, or arguing with the other voters.
747: 668: 631: 518: 456: 257: 220: 239:, nothing is required here other than having been around long enough to understand the process and to be able to comment in a polite and fair manner. So, either you are new to Knowledge and you think you have enough experience to voice your opinion in meta areas, or you have been around a while and would like to contribute earnestly to the way the project is managed. Either way, four important things to reflect upon in your participation at RfA are: 84: 487:, 25 words is generally sufficient while 50 - 60 words should be enough to explain your more serious concerns or even influence the voting. If you are bringing new evidence rather than just repeating what other voters have said (not a good idea), an absolute maximum of 200 words should be more than sufficient. Do not use the RfA process as a venue to simply vent your own points of view. 24: 113: 742:
more than 2 questions or ask multiple questions under the guise of one question. Candidates can be expected to answer up to about 10 or 12 questions from participants but many more is simply bothersome and remember that answering additional questions is not required. One cannot seriously oppose a candidate for declining to answer.
528:. If a vote does not make sense, all it will do is make the voter look silly. In some cases, entirely inappropriate votes or comments might be indented, struck, or even removed by other editors in good standing - they will certainly be discounted by the closer. Put yourself in the position of the candidate - if this were 153:. Candidates for adminship must be nominated (either by another user or by themselves), answer some questions, and then be subjected to a 7-day community discussion as to whether they will be accepted as admins by the community. The most successful candidates will almost always have edited Knowledge for at least 333:
Another thing that makes RfA very different from elections for politicians or classroom spokespersons is that RfA is not a popularity or an unpopularity contest. Your own opinion of the candidate may not reflect his or her general work and/or behaviour at all. If you've seen him or her being nice
313:
In the third analogy, the best advice is really to do your own research. Those who you follow (what we call 'pile-on' voting) may be quite wrong. In fact some of the more honest ones may come back after some thinking and change their vote or cancel it entirely. If you copied such a

It's been proven that poor voting and or commenting at RfA is what discourages good editors from volunteering to become admins. Like all the other major language editions of Knowledge, participants are required to meet certain requirements before they are allowed to vote at RfA, and English Knowledge
605:
The question section is there for a purpose. That general purpose is to address any concerns you have about a candidate, which can include checking the candidate's understanding regarding Knowledge's policies-and-guidelines in areas in which they intend to work, asking them to clarify their thinking
561:
If you can't make your mind up after doing all that research, or if your feelings and findings are not enough for you to make a firm commitment to support or oppose the RfA, you can place a comment in the 'Neutral' section. This may help the closing bureaucrat decide on the outcome in the case

Comments are often placed on the bottom of the RfA page or on the RfA talk page. Intended to be a place for pointing out technicalities concerning the debate itself, in recent times it has become a general discussion on RfA matters or adminship. These comments do not affect the closing bureaucrat's
439:
There have been many instances where votes were piled on, but the original voter later retracted or changed their vote. The pile-on voters did not retract their vote as well. This is the kind of behaviour that makes the process unfair. Because of that, voters should continue to watch an RfA in case
741:
It's because of some of the additional questions asked by the participants. The questions should relate to the candidate's application for the tools. Trick questions for which there is no correct answer are unfair. Don't ask questions for which you don't yourself know the correct answer. Don't ask
568:
If what you want to say is not directly related to the candidate, or is not a good fit for 'support', 'oppose', or 'neutral', avoid adding to the 'General comments' section. These posts which frequently discuss the RfA process itself will not be taken into account by the closing Bureaucrat and are
481:
by the rest of the community and counted by the closing Bureaucrat, you should qualify your reasons by including diffs of evidence you present; consider whether or not your reasons for opposing, such as edit count or tenure, are plausible - read the criteria used by experienced voters in the pages
451:
it's essential that you have done homework we mentioned above has been done. Making an energetic support only to find that after only a dozen or so votes the debate plunges into the depths of the 'oppose' section often demonstrates that your support was a drive-by or a fan vote and was not really
351:
It's not enough to read the nomination statement and the comments of the others and say 'yeah, I agree with that', or simply reading the oppose votes and just piling on. Bear in mind that some of those votes may be wrong, so making a fair vote on RfA means doing a bit of homework – and

If you don't like the Knowledge system of adminship, RfA is not the place to get the system changed, so don't use RfA as a political platform; your vote will not be counted and you'll only make yourself look silly. Propose changes by all means but please do it somewhere else, such as

We'll just give you a list here of things for you to check, then we'll give you a list of links below to examples of criteria that some of the regular users base their votes on (each RfA also contains a list of links that will lead you to some of the things to check):
756:- if this were your RfA, how many questions would you be prepared to answer? Think about this for a moment, because for some questions it can take several hours to find and write the best answer. Fortunately again, candidates are not obliged to answer users' questions. 462:
You are not obliged to leave a comment with your support vote because it's generally assumed that you concur with the nomination. However, most users do offer a friendly word. If the RfA already has opposition, a detailed support addressing that opposition and

There is a limit of two questions per editor, with relevant follow-ups permitted. The two-question limit cannot be circumvented by asking questions that require multiple answers (e.g. asking the candidate what he or she would do in each of five
3303: 1343: 234:
Knowledge welcomes all registered users to express their opinion on requests for adminship. Unlike our major other-language Wikipedias where you would need to be registered for about three months and have made at least 500 edits to

vote, your vote would be wrong too and unless you change it the candidate wouldn't be given fair consideration. You should therefore consider following an RfA you have voted on in case you may wish to change your mind.
317:
In the fourth analogy, probably not. It is therefore of no more concern of ours whether or not a candidate has contributed to other projects belonging to the Wikimedia Foundation as whether or not the candidate has contributed to

It's because some voters demand to see a lot of quality article creations such as GA and FA. Having written just a few clean, well referenced articles is usually enough to show a good knowledge of article creation, layout, and

It's because some voters require a long tenure. Plenty of our admins get elected with only 15 or 18 months on Knowledge. It's their work that counts. It's through the right kind of work that they gain their

Has the user added enough new content to articles to demonstrate a knowledge of basic article policy and required elements - note that the creation of new articles, or elevation of articles to GA or FA are
1373: 125:. Being a Knowledge administrator is not the same as being a moderator on an Internet forum. The tasks are many and varied and require a high degree of competency and judgement. In particular, see: 2639: 290:
If you were a driving test examiner in Norway, would you insist that the candidate also has driving experience in Papua New Guinea, The Marshall Islands, the Central African Republic, and Thailand?
330:. More broadly, we are not interested in what a candidate does in real life with the rest of their free or professional time. Even asking about it in the question section would be inappropriate. 3190: 610:
in order to satisfy any questions you have about how well suited that candidate is to become an admin. A review of 100s of RfA however will clearly demonstrate that many questions are posed by:

It's because of the unfriendly – sometimes even very unpleasant – way users occasionally make their votes – usually in the Oppose section. This also means that if you disagree with a vote,

yourself, generally not doing a lot of good work for Knowledge and getting it wrong a lot of the time, then you may be right in thinking that the candidate should not be an admin.
3070: 2242: 2599: 727:. Opinions are different, but generally candidates nowadays will not pass if they have less than around 6,000 manual edits. Insisting on as many as 20,000 though, would not be appropriate. 2408: 2003: 3443: 226:
Of course, voting 'as per' someone else is no good, they might already have got it completely wrong - it happens! They might also have later changed their vote completely - did you?
3453: 2751: 1388: 252:
Are you basing your vote partly (or even wholly) on what the candidate has done on other Wikimedia projects (e.g. Commons, Wikiversity, Wikivoyage, other language Wikipedias, etc.)?

2307: 430:- there may be many hints to their readiness for the task of admin. Does it project the image to people of all ages and backgrounds that Knowledge is a serious project? 285:
Would you vote Oppose or Support just because that's the way most people appear to be voting or just because your best friend told you that's how you should vote?
1838: 1535: 3513: 2920: 2106: 1560: 1483: 1065: 524:
Don't take the candidate's previous actions or comments elsewhere out of context, and do be sure of your facts. Anything older than 12 months is probably outdated -
565:
Put yourself in the shoes of the candidate - if this were your RfA, and some participants are voting 'neutral', how would you like them to express themselves?
2960: 2940: 1903: 1873: 1185: 280:
Would you vote against your local policeman or shopkeeper who is running for mayor just because he scolded you for riding your bicycle on the sidewalk/pavement?
2197: 1923: 1685: 1273: 1200: 1140: 1115: 1105: 3658: 2965: 1605: 783: 760: 687: 99: 3045: 3000: 2910: 2860: 2126: 1853: 1828: 3553: 1843: 1478: 1463: 3811: 2880: 1443: 890: 470:
Put yourself in the shoes of the candidate – if this were your RfA, how would you like the participants who are supporting you to express themselves?

It's because some voters oppose for minor blocks that are more than a year old or simply for good-faith minor mistakes which any busy editor can make.

If you are new to participating at RfA, read the last few RfAs of both the successful and failed kind, and see how it works and the things not to do.

If you were on the jury in a clear case of stealing, would you vote 'not guilty' just because the person who was charged seemed to be a nice guy?

of a close call. Sometimes, neutral votes lean towards support or oppose, and sometimes they offer some friendly advice to the candidate.

Imagine if someone were to write 400 words or even more! 3772: 3638: 3175: 2654: 2584: 2463: 2448: 2363: 2146: 1938: 1283: 1030: 1025: 146: 36: 3686: 3806: 3568: 3378: 3348: 3313: 3140: 2619: 2529: 2443: 2086: 2056: 1928: 1110: 126: 2830: 246:

disagreeing with it is likely to carry more favour with others, and contribute more to the overall consensus.
