User:Mets501/RfA standards

Below I have stated my standards for voting in Requests for adminship.

Requirements

Only under rare conditions will I give a support vote to a user who does not meet all of the following:

1. At least 1000 article edits
2. At least 350 Wikipedia space edits
3. At least 350 combined talk, user talk, and Wikipedia talk edits
4. 3 months of experience
5. No block history (except if blocked in error)
6. No post-first-day vandalism (newbies often make mistakes)
7. No edit warring
8. Acting civil at all times
9. Decent spelling/grammar
10. 85% major and 85% minor article edit summary usage

Bonuses

To outweigh the negatives

1. Vandal fighting
2. New pages patrolling
3. Welcomming committee
4. Voting in AFD's
5. Good answers to RfA questions
6. Helped to develop a featured article (note that this is not a requirement!)
7. Member of at least one WikiProject

Negatives

Any of these could earn a neutral if not outweighted by bonuses

1. Not a member of at least one WikiProject
2. Limited range of articles edited
3. Poor answers to RfA questions
4. Does not understand what an admin really does
5. Controversial userpage
