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.

Do not consider my pblock from ANI. Am I ready for adminship (not planning until at least 6mo later) and what do I lack. Will work in XfD boards and UAA, as well as AIV & RFPP Read the advice page multiple times. Toadette ( Let's talk together!) 19:04, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- Cool you're considering a run, even though it's quite some time away still. Readiness always depends a bit on what you want to help out with. Quite a lot of the toolset is about deletion and notability, and those skills are usually easiest to assess. I see you've got a 90% agreement at AfD, which is good. I'm always looking at the quality and nature of disagreements. Some of the !votes could have been a bit stronger: in
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Your Time Is Gonna Come (2nd nomination); I think you could have guessed a Google Books search would turn things up. For
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tristan Tate (2nd nomination), you're statement did not go into that much depth. Ideally, given the BLP issues, a stronger rational was given. More worryingly, in your
most recent user talk archive, there are still AfC declines of articles resubmitted by you (but written by others). I expect an admin candidate involved in writing new articles to understand notability better. There is still plenty of time to learn, though. I see you've recently received the NPP reviewer right. The folks there are always happy to help if you're not quite certain.

- A side issue that you want to certainly tidy up before any RfA run is your signature, as it does not match your user name. You'd get opposes just for that. Schwede 66 20:10, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- Note that as per the instructions for this poll, it's
[t]o request an evaluation of your chances of passing a request for adminship in the next 3 to 6 months
. It isn't intended for people to predict how you will build up your skillset and editing record over the next year and a half. For a better indication, please seek advice when you feel more prepared to make a successful request. isaacl ( talk) 21:11, 22 April 2024 (UTC) - I think one of the most important admin traits is recognizing what you do and do not know about a situation and knowing when to ask for help/clarification; no one wants a
cowboy admin who takes unilateral action against consensus or who proverbially "shoots first and asks questions later". I think it was unwise for you to jump in at
Talk:K. Annamalai#Idea without knowing what led to the topic being placed on the title-blacklist and
WP:DEEPER, even though it is described clearly at the top of the talk page. I am worried that if you had adminship at the time, you would have unilaterally overridden community consensus in this circumstance.

- Just be smart when you comment in discussions/disputes/etc., and show good judgement when weighing in; it's something that builds over time as you become more confident with the non-mainspace areas of Wikipedia. I noticed you recently became an AfC and NPP reviewer, these are great areas to hone the type of critical thinking that makes a successful admin, and indeed many admins were previously AfC and NPP reviewers.

- Telling people not to consider your p-block would be a mistake at actual RFA. Because they will not be following that instruction and will definitely be considering that. This is just a heads up that you will need to handle that carefully at real RFA. – Novem Linguae ( talk) 23:43, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
