Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Optional RfA candidate poll

Page semi-protected
Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

This optional polling page is for experienced editors who intend to request administrative privileges (RfA) in the near future and wish to receive feedback on their chances of succeeding in their request.

This page is not intended to provide general reviews of editors. To seek feedback on what you can do to improve your contributions to Wikipedia, ask a friendly, experienced editor on the editor's talk page for help.

Disclaimer: Before proceeding, please read advice pages such as

Advice for RfA candidates. The result of a poll may differ greatly from an actual RfA, so before proceeding, you should evaluate your contributions based on this advice as well as recent successful and failed requests. Look at past polls in the archives and consider the risk of having a similar list of shortcomings about yourself to which anyone can refer. You may want to consider asking an editor experienced at RfA, such as those listed at Wikipedia:Request an RfA nomination
, their thoughts privately.

Instructions

Potential candidates

To request an evaluation of your chances of passing a request for adminship in the next 3 to 6 months, add your name below and wait for feedback. Please read Wikipedia:Not now before adding your name to this list.

Responders

Responders, please provide feedback on the potential candidate's likelihood of passing an RfA at this time. Please be understanding of those who volunteer without fully appreciating what is expected of an administrator, and always phrase your comments in an encouraging manner. You can optionally express the probability of passing as a score from 0 to 10; a helper script is available to let you give a one-click rating. For more detailed or strongly critical feedback, please consider contacting the editor directly.

Closure

Potential candidates may opt to close or withdraw their ORCP assessment request at any time. Polls are normally closed without any closing statement after seven days (and are archived seven days after being closed). They may be closed earlier if there is

unanimous agreement
that the candidate has no chance at being granted administrative privileges.

I would like to be sysopped sometime, how much of a chance do you think I would have at it?

Context: I would like to be sysopped to prevent vandalism. I have successfully identified and reported/reverted numerous cases of vandalism.

  • Admire your good intentions, but at this point you're quite a ways from being ready for adminship (see Wikipedia:Not now). Read Wikipedia:Advice_for_RfA_candidates#RfA essays and criteria for some criteria you'd be expected to fulfill in order to pass. Maybe in 2 or 3 years you'll be ready, and I look forward to supporting you in that case. — ♠ Ixtal ( T / C ) Non nobis solum. ♠ 22:47, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The lowest edit count to pass RFA in the last few years was 8,000. You're at 1,445. While edit count isn't everything, in this case it does suggest that you may not have the experience yet that the community is looking for. Please take your time, build additional experience, then look into this again at a later date. –Novem Linguae (talk) 00:45, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
