Proposing
editAny administrator or editor in good standing may propose another editor in good standing, or themselves, for adminship. This period may last up to five days. If at the end of five days no one has objected to the proposal, then this user shall be promoted.
Objecting
editAny administrator or editor in good standing may object to a proposed adminship. If they do so the proposal is terminated and the formerly proposed administrator is submitted to Wikipedia:Requests for adminship for a full hearing. An administrator or editor in good standing is permitted one objection every three months. Jimbo is allowed, ex-officio, unlimited objections.
Format
editIf another editor is making the proposal he or she is permitted to make a short statement justifying the action. The proposed administrator is invited to make what statements he or she feels appropriate. Typically, a proposed administrator will explain what it is that he or she does on Wikipedia, and why it is that the community should grant him or her the mop. Comments by all other users will be removed.
