I believe I should probably have a criteria for RfAs, since I would like to start getting active in the Wikipedia community myself.
Basic expectations
[edit]Edits and activity
[edit]- Bare minimum is around 8,000 edits, though I'd be unlikely to support if you have less than 13,000 edits.
- 150 or more edits in the Wikipedia (WP) namespace.
- Been active (i.e. 50 edits per month) for at least a year, but it would be unlikely for me to support someone who has been here for 2 years (unless that user is really active like Jo-Jo Eumerus)
Content creation
[edit]- Created at least 3 main articles, of which one is at least C-class, to show a basic knowledge in content creation.
- A reasonable history of anti-vandalism (about at least 5-10 visits to the WP:ANI, WP:AIV, WP:AN3, WP:UAA at the very, very least
- No 3RR blocks in the past six months, no other temporary blocks in the past 1 year and no indefinite blocks in the past 2 years, not counting self-requested, accidental or bad blocks.
What I don't care about
[edit]Whether you nominated yourself or got co-nominated does not affect my !vote, but if a very trustworthy user nominated you, I'd take that into account.
I don't care how many nominations you have had, though I will be unlikely to support if your previous RfA was less than six months ago.
Furthermore, I do not care about anything "wrong" you have done in the past as long as it has been dealt with. Even if you have been sitebanned or have had a history of giving out personal attacks (as long as you're not a sockpuppet of the Willy on Wheels, as long as it's over with, I don't care.
In a nutshell
[edit]You may be thinking that my RfA criteria is far too low, but you have to take this into consideration- it is just a few extra buttons, and is not a trophy. If it turns out that giving them admin tools was a bad idea, all you need to do is undo their actions and strip them from the tools.
