User:HighInBC/RfA standards

The purpose of this page it to lay out my personal WP:RfA standards.

Demonstration of social skills

Social skills are very important to admins.

Civility and personal attacks

It is very important that admins have the ability to remain civil. A history of incivility or personal attacks will likely prevent you from receiving and endorsement from me and may lead to opposition in more egregious circumstances.

Dispute resolution

I like to see a history of a user dealing with heated disputes in a reasonable intelligent manner. This is important when you have special tools that those you may be in a dispute with do not have.

Demonstration of judgement

Admins are given access to special tools, there are several ways a user can demonstrate the required judgement to use these tools prior to becoming and admin.

Blocking

I like to see a history of reports to WP:AIV and WP:UAA. I check how many of the reports have been rejected and how many lead to a block, and I look at the reasoning behind any rejection. If many of your reports are being rejected for reasons of not justifying a block then I would be very hesitant to give that user the power to block directly.

In progress more to come...
