The Four Phase System

The four phase system developed by Malinaccier is designed to maximize the benefits of admin coaching by discovering strengths and weaknesses more efficiently and effectively.

Phase one deals with questions designed to let the coach know what the coachee's best contributions are, and what their general strengths and weaknesses are. This phase is also very important in developing a nomination statement.
Phase two is all about policy. The admin coach will ask several series of questions dealing with policy, or questions that often come up in RFA's. They will then critique the coachee's responses and provide help in areas where the coachee needs it as shown by the responses
Phase three has to do with Wikiphilosophy (inclusionism/deletionism, orthodoxy on Wikipedia, etc.). The coach will ask several questions about Wikiphilosophies and controversial areas of Wikipedia policy.
Phase four is a mop up phase. The coach and coachee will work on whatever weak areas still need to be addressed.

Resources have been detailed here including questions for the phases, ideas, and processes of usage.

-You may be familiar with the threat of vandalism and the constant war that is raging to keep it under control.  Well, another not so well known war is being fought against a similar but distinct problem on Wikipedia:  Link spam.  Many people place links on Wikipedia that don't belong, for various reasons, and our anti-spam teams are struggling to keep up.  Below, Yuser presents this dimension of wiki-maintenance, and explains how you can help fight the good fight.  Viva la Wikipedia!

+==The Four Phase System==
-== Congratulations, and welcome... ==
+The four phase system developed by [[User:Malinaccier|Malinaccier]] is designed to maximize the benefits of admin coaching by discovering strengths and weaknesses more efficiently and effectively.
+*'''Phase one''' deals with questions designed to let the coach know what the coachee's best contributions are, and what their general strengths and weaknesses are.  This phase is also very important in developing a nomination statement.
-Congratulations to [[User:Dweller|Dweller]], [[User:The Rambling Man|The Rambling Man]] (TRM), and to [[User:AGK|Anthony]], for graduating from the VC and becoming Wikipedia sysops!  Dweller has just passed [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Dweller|his RfA]] with 108 support votes and no opposes. TRM also passed [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/The Rambling Man|his RfA]] without opposition with 128 support votes!  Anthony passed with flying colors as well.  I'm also pleased to announce that TRM has signed up as an admin coach, and is now participating in that capacity here.  Anthony and Dweller have been coaching here for awhile.  If you'd like these guys to be your admin coaches, along with the rest of the coaches here, be sure to contact one of them (or any of us).
+*'''Phase two''' is all about policy.  The admin coach will ask several series of questions dealing with policy, or questions that often come up in RFA's.  They will then critique the coachee's responses and provide help in areas where the coachee needs it as shown by the responses
+*'''Phase three''' has to do with Wikiphilosophy (inclusionism/deletionism, orthodoxy on Wikipedia, etc.).  The coach will ask several questions about Wikiphilosophies and controversial areas of Wikipedia policy.
+*'''Phase four''' is a mop up phase.  The coach and coachee will work on whatever weak areas still need to be addressed.

-I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome the latest addition to our team.  [[User:JodyB]] has gracefully accepted my request to become an admin coach here.
-Dear reader, if you are a coach and would like to train students here, feel free to jump right in and participate.  Likewise, if you consider yourself a student and would like to receive training, you are also free to join in.  This is a group effort, and like the rest of Wikipedia's pages, everyone is welcome to participate.  Just start posting (in the coaching and/or Q&A sections) below.
-By the way, we are always looking for new lessons to add to the curriculum here, and if you'd like to write one, please contact me on my talk page to work out the details.  Thank you.

-== Reply to question ==
-You are too sophisticated in the ways of Wikipedia, Transhumanist, for me to be sure how to communicate with you without tromping in the wrong place, but I will place here my alert that I have answered your question in the [[User_talk:Benbest#Reperfusion|Reperfusion section]] of my [[User_talk:Benbest|Talk Page]]. --[[User:Benbest|Ben Best]] 05:58, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
-== Some script-related questions ==
-Rich, I 've started looking over your monobook.js, and have some questions for you:
-I've cut and pasted your Lupin popups calling script, and it works fine.  And it's better than copying the whole program in.  Will that syntax work for calling any script?
-I noticed you have <nowiki>{{User:AndyZ/peerreviewer.js}}</nowiki> commented out on there.  Did you actually have this transcluded and working?
-What does the "clever watchlist stuff do?"   &nbsp;'''''[[User:The Transhumanist|<font color="purple">Th<font color="blue">e Tr<font color="#9acd32">ans<font color="#FFCC00">hu<font color="orange">man<font color="red">ist</font> &nbsp;&nbsp;]]'''''12:44, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
-:I believe that syntax works for any script.  And it's been suggested I should make some of my stuff subpages included that way.
-:Incidentally you will see I have a method for putting edit sections in .js.  This appears to only work once the page has been edited in that session - very strange - but when it does it's useful.
-:I never got peereviewer.js working.  The watchlist breaks your watchlist down by user spaces - well actually it's by ":" so it can break some names. For example

-::By edit sections in .js, do you mean the in-frame editing? Like so:
-	/////Edit-in-frame. fast and fun!
-	    document.write('<script src="'
-	 + 'http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Benutzer:ASM/quickedit.js'
-	 + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript"></script>');
-	    var qeEnabled          = true;  // Activate Script?
-	        var qeEnableSection0   = true;  // Enable QuickEdit link for section 0 (introduction)?
-::Also, I noticed your capitalization script seems to decapitalize all words after the initial word in a header - this might lead to problems, such as with proper nouns. --[[User talk:Gwern |Gwern]] [[Special:Contributions/Gwern | (contribs)]] 19:56 [[17 November]] [[2006]] (GMT)
-:::Gwern, by "edit sections" I believe he meant headings, like this...
-=== Edit section ===
-He has a way of commenting them out, but they still work as wikicode, so the <nowiki>"[edit]"</nowiki> section buttons are made available on the right side of the screen.
-Rich, it should be pretty easy to fix the peer review script not to break page names, by checking against the list of namespaces, right?  "If this prefix is is not one of these, then process the line as one with a normal page on it."  Right? &nbsp;'''''[[User:The Transhumanist|<font color="purple">Th<font color="blue">e Tr<font color="#9acd32">ans<font color="#FFCC00">hu<font color="orange">man<font color="red">ist</font> &nbsp;&nbsp;]]'''''06:05, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
