Wikipedia:Admin coaching

Admin Coaching

Shortcut

Admin Coaching is not a program to guide users through the RFA process. It is a program where experienced users help people to learn the ways of Wikipedia. While being better versed in the various contributions expected of a prospective admin will help your RfA succeed, Admin Coaching does not guarantee that you will pass the RfA. Ultimately, this is your responsibility, not the responsibility of your coach. So if you come here looking for a personal coach in order to pass RFA, you're at the wrong place.

I think a valuable service would be to provide a clearinghouse where people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia culture could be matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. This would be something like the Welcoming Committee, but for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. Some might like suggestions about how to learn vandal patrol, or mentoring on taking an article to featured status, or guidance with a proposal they plan to make at the Village Pump, for example. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins.

  20. Message me anytime. :) GfloresTalk 00:30, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  21. I'd be happy to help people in how to do RC patrol and all the other 'mop' type admin work, as well as how to prepare for any RfA nomination. Will need to be partnered with an article editor type admin to give someone a fully balanced training experience. Petros471 19:08, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  24. I'd like to help out, but I'm sort of a clueless coach at the moment, so would appreciate co-coaching at first. — Ilyanep (Talk) 00:32, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  26. Sign me up. --Fang Aili 說嗎? 21:25, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  27. I think I'm ready to help coach. Like Ilyanep, Petros, et al, I'd want to be paired with another more experienced admin at least the first time or two. My areas of interest (see my RfA Question 1) are article edits, DYK, article deletions, policy and a little bit of reversions, so pairing with a RCP/vandal fighter might be a good choice. ++Lar: t/c 20:44, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  28. Eager to help. :o) EWS23 (Leave me a message!) 06:40, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please add yourself here if you want to sign up for the program with ":#~~~~", and one of us will contact you. Please note that there will be long delay before you are assigned coaches, due to the shortage of coaches. Priority will be given to active editors, see the talk page for more details.
  1. I don't know if I want to be an admin, but I do want to be better at vandal patrol, getting articles to FA status, communication, etc. For now, I just want to be a helpful user who is able to contribute to more than just editing. I just want to be a better user :). —Mirlen 00:04, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  2. I guess I'm still a newbie here, and it has been great to get help from people like ThatGuyFromThatShow and TangoTango and others, and I'm certainly still in need of advice. But I don't want to take up too much of people's time. Sarah crane 19:44, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  3. I'm planning to have a successful RfA in May. Computerjoe's talk 13:27, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  4. I hope to improve my judgment and personal instincts when working on important administrative tasks around Wikipedia. I want to become an administrator, but a good, reliable one. Rama's Arrow 16:55, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  5. I like this idea as it didnt take long for me to work out the basics in all the beginner stuff but there is still heaps to know that doesnt fit in with that.Banana.Girl 12:31, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  6. I'd like to eventually become an admin, but I'm defenitly not ready yet. It'd be nice to have someone to help me become a better editor. -SBrools (talk)
  7. This looks like a great idea. I'd like to see this program from both sides, eventually. Feezo (Talk) 06:59, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  8. Hey, why not. I'm thinking loosely about a RfA, but figure I'll wait until either someone else does it for me, or just wait until I blow up. But in the meantime, this might be nice. So yeah, bring it on. Thanks, zappa 05:56, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  9. I've been told my editcount is at the level where people are going to start falling over themselves soon to nominate me for adminship, so I guess I'd better learn something about it, although I don't yet have an opinion about whether I want to be one, other than that the nomination process looks like it's been devised by Simon Cowell... Even if I decide adminship isn't for me, learning more about Wikipedia culture sounds completely worthwhile in my activities as an ordinary editor SP-KP 23:03, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  10. What better way to learn to become an admin than from an admin?!Primate#101 13:17, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  11. I kinda want to learn how to do it all... Tony(blah blah blah)(look what I can do!) 18:40, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  12. Interested in enrolling for training. Folajimi 03:55, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  13. I'm eager to learn how I can better myself in Wikipedia, and could use the advice of older, wiser people. Cheers! :D _-M o P-_ 06:34, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  14. I definitely wish to be more helpful around here. --Brazucs (TALK | CONTRIBS) 07:14, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  18. I would like to know how to be a godd user and admin aswell, seems like a great Idea n all, and I would like to benefit from it. Philc TECI 21:11, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  24. I'm an active member of the mediation cabal and so I'm already doing some quasi administrative functions. To handle some of the problems I would need actual administrative support. Looking forward to the coaching jbolden1517Talk 21:05, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  25. — Ian Manka Talk to me‼ 03:17, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  26. Me: Eclectic and vigorous editor looking to improve standing for future adminship. You: Patient and knowledgable administrator to help me find more outlets to improve the project. ••\\/\//esleyPinkha//\/\\•• 06:04, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  27. I don't postulate for now but for the future, and I would appreciate good advices about interpreting the policy and guidelines, specially when I am in dissension with other contributors. Splang 07:09, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  28. I would like to become an admin in a couple of months time. I have been quite active in RC and requests for page protection. I would appreciate any advise on my shortcomings. Regards, --Asterion talk to me 21:21, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  29. MyNameIsNotBob 04:34, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  30. Oooh, definitely. Would love to be an admin, and I definitely need to know more. --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 02:49, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  31. BusterD I'm comfy with most basic editing, linking, but I want to use my time here better as it relates to vandalism, become more positive and less personal, and perhaps grow into a responsible history and geography related wikiperson. I haven't really seen the firehose stream yet, and am interested in moving forward. A couple of more experienced folks have been mentoring me informally, but I'd work to be a good pupil. BusterD 23:48, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  32. TheTrueSora I'm interested in the program- looking to possibly become admin in 6 months to a year. // The True Sora 01:45, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  33. GuyIncognito 14:14, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  34. Planning to submit an RfA in about a month, would appreciate some coaching to help me get ready Richard 08:50, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  35. Might want to submit an RfA. I'm not ready yet. FellowWikipedian 02:49, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  36. Would like to became an admin at some point in the near future, with a failed attempt under my belt, a bit of coaching wouldn't do any harm. -- 9cds(talk) 18:07, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  37. I want to do this, not for an RfA running, but to better understand the ins and outs of Wikipedia so that I can better contribute to it. I would love to get help from anyone and get an evaluation. Yanksox 05:30, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  38. I've been administrator on hungarian Wikipedia, Wikiquote, Wikibooks (+bureaucrat) and Uncyclopedia (+bureaucrat) for a long time. I work here as the maintainer of Medicine portal (featured candidate), I'm part of the Wikipedia Version 0.5 review team (scientific coordinator) and coordinator of Medicine Wikiproject. I know that I need more experiment here, but maybe one day I'd like to be admin. Thanks for help. NCurse work 10:20, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  39. I think I could use some guidance at this point. I'm just starting to venture as an editor into more controversial articles than the science and local ones I have mostly worked on. Also, I suspect I may have some bad habits I'm not even aware of, and if so I would appreciate someone pointing those out to me. --Ginkgo100 21:28, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  40. I think I would like to eventually try my hand at admining. Meanwhile, a little coaching couldn't hurt. I think this is a really neat idea. Sign me up! :) --Firsfron of Ronchester 23:53, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  41. While being an admin is not at the top of my priority list, i would certainly like to find my niche in wikipedia. Evan Seeds (talk) 04:46, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  42. I'd like to run for adminship in 4-6 months' time (or even more), but I'm eager to develop the skills I need to become one early. Just because I'm not an admin doesn't mean I shouldn't develop a relevant skills set. :) RandyWang (raves/rants) 02:46, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  43. I feel that I have made very valuable contributions to the project, not just in terms of editing, but in vandal fighting and other admin-esque activities. I would, however, like to get some objective advice on how I might improve my performance here in order for a potential RfA run. --cholmes75 (chit chat) 16:23, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  44. I believe that I have contributed well into sports articles, including making WikiProject NBL. I hope to make an RFA run in 6-8 months. I am thinking to joining the fight in vandalism but I believe I need more training before I can start my RFA nomination. Jasrocks Talk) 09:37, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  45. I would like to improve my knowledge on Wiki editing, in particular on interpreting Wiki guidelines which may be conflicting in particular cases - but not limited to this. I have been on an exams wikibreak last month and now that I have the free time would like to improve myself. No future RfA request in mind. └ VodkaJazz / talk ┐ 21:35, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  46. I'm planning on attempting an RfA in a month or so, but first I'd like a more detailed and intricate knowledge of things like Wikipedia policy. --Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 16:43, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  47. I've no immediate plan to become an Admin, but would love to improve my skills as an editor who promotes harmony and collaboration in the Wikipedia community. --Deebki 12:09, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  48. I hope to learn a lot from this experience, so I can become a better Wikipedian, and hopefully, some day an admin. -AMK152 03:17, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
