Things to consider at WP:RFA.

My own criteria

edit

These far from 100% strict rules, and I will take into account other factors before !voting. These are no particular order.

  • Maturity (some limited swearing outside of mainspace is ok)
  • Being WP:CIVIL and WP:AGF, especially when dealing with conflicts
  • Helping people, explaining reasoning beyond pointing to guidelines
  • Experience - breadth and length of time, not simple edit counts (though would expect an absolute minimum of 5-10k total and activity over the past year, plus having had an account more than 2 years)
  • Use of edit summaries (ideally at least 98%)
  • Evidence/willingness of learning from past mistakes
  • Understanding of WP:CONSENSUS and WP:NEUTRAL editing
  • Awareness of policies and guidelines and the difference between them
  • Content creation (not just gnoming) - more than stubs, but not essential to get good/FA status (autopatrolled-level at least, if not the actual perm)
  • Not nominating/WP:PRODding for deletion without WP:BEFORE
  • Awareness of notability and what warrants speed deletion, etc. (CSD log shouldn't be filled with blue links)
  • Closing discussions reasonably (being aware of WP:BADNAC, not being a WP:SUPERVOTE, etc.)
  • Giving actual reasons at AfD (e.g. not just "per nom")
  • Some idea what they'll use admin tools for, at least initially (not just to WP:HATCOLLECT)
  • Reasonable answer to the question of being open to recall

Undesired activies

edit

If any historical issues, would expect evidence that they have learned from the past. Would expect a cleaner record in the past year though.

Additional potential nice-to-haves

edit
  • Significant involvement in moving articles to WP:GOOD/WP:FA status
  • Active involvement in some of WP:DYK, WP:RM, WP:XfD, WP:NPP, WP:AfC, WP:RPC
  • Requests made to one or more of WP:UAA, WP:PP, WP:SPI
  • Anti-vandalism work
  • Responding at WP:TH and/or WP:VP
  • Barnstars from other editors
  • Knowing which areas they shouldn't get involved in (due to WP:COI, etc.)
  • Involvement in Wikiprojects
  • No mass WP:STUB-creation
  • No overly political usernames
  • Having gained some additional permissions already that are made use of

Examples of other people's criteria

See Category:User criteria for adminship, as I don't want to single out particular ones.
