Wikipedia:RfA reform 2011/Candidates
![]() | This page in a nutshell: RFA Candidates is part of the Continued RfA reform project. It contains research, data, and proposals to establish possible minimum criteria for adminship candidates. Please view this page in conjunction with Voter profiles. Please discuss the contents of this page on this page's talk page. |
![]() | One should should demonstrate at least one year of experience as a writer and collaborator in various fields of the project. Candidates with less experience have no chance of being elected to adminship. Candidates that do not have a significant four-digit number of edits are mostly rejected. The proportions of the edits in different namespaces is often critically examined. German Wikipedia: Administrators |

Part 3. Summary
[edit]Facts drawn from the above data:
- The edit count of new admins has increased year on year. From a midpoint of ~11,000 to ~19,000.
- Only one person since 2009 has gained adminship with less than 3,000 edits (He had over 1 million edits across wikis)
- Editors who passed with less than 10,000 edits - 2009: 44 (36%), 2010: 20 (26%), 2011: 5 (18% so far)
- The overall user criteria averages bear out as aiming for a minimum of a Journeyman editor - 2,000 edits plus 6 months experience
- The more recent (vetted) criteria bears out as aiming for a minimum of 3,700 edits plus 9 months experience. (Closer to a Yeoman Editor but not quite)
- Besides edit count and length of membership, the next largest concern is the blocklog - with half of those concerned wanting to see a clean block log or an average of 10 months clear.
- After the blocking issue, edits to specific areas (generally mainspace), civility, policy knowledge, and edit summaries were equally important in the criteria stakes. The rest were a bit all over the place.
Part 4. Unsuccessful candidates in 2011
[edit]This table is also shown on the Unsuccessful RfAs page along with additional data on failed candidates.
(Research and data by courtesy of Kudpung)
- There are no averages or mean for edits as they would provide a false picture.
- 2nd or subsequent attempts are generally not listed because these users would hardly be beginners.
- NA = Some RfA were closed before the X-tools data could be posted (NA); in this case the current data is provided, and some candidates were not opted in for X!-tools.
- Most of the withdrawals or 'no consensus' were regular experienced editors.
- Months are the full consecutive months of activity since a Wikibreak of over 30 days.
- NAC: Non admin closure
- NNEng: Non native English speaker
- VYU: Very young user (where age is known - generally under 15)
- UP: User page edits

- Pass rate is expressed through a complex quorum that is set by the average of votes on the previous four RfA elections: (based on a much improved Google translation):
- To prevent an administrator to be elected without a sufficiently large number of Wikipedians expressing their its support/a quorum on votes, a quorum is defined as follows:
- For the election to be successful, the number of voters in favor of greater or equal to the value of a quorum.
- The election is valid for the next calculation of the quorum will be necessary that the number of voters (favorable + against) is greater than or equal to the value of a quorum.
- The quorum will be calculated by multiplying 2/3 of the average number of voters (counting only for and against) on the last four concluded elections.
- The calculation shall take account only of the elections in which a quorum has been reached.
- In cases of elections that take place concurrently, in the calculation of the quorum will be based on the one that received the most votes.
- More concisely the quorum Q can be expressed as follows: Q = 2 / 3 × [(x + y + z + w) / 4] = (x + y + z + w) / 6
