User:Phoenix-wiki/RFA criteria

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The user requesting adminship must have helped produce one piece of featured material



My reasoning behind this is simple:

  • Creating a featured work shows that the user is here to help build this encyclopedia, not use it as an outlet their need to feel important.
  • Creating a featured work demonstrates the user has good communication skills, as getting material to featured status requires lots of coordination with other editors. This is an important quality in administrators.
  • Creating a featured work proves that the user has considerable dedication to the project, and aren't likely to leave in a huff at the first sign of criticism, only to return a few days later.
  • If people start getting opposed for not writing FAs, they'll go and write FAs, benifitting the project immensely.
