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.
Sample entry
==Example== {{User-orcp|Example}} *5/10 - Edit count seems okay, but there will be opposers saying you need more AfD participation. ~~~~

Significa liberdade: September 6, 2024

After receiving comments from multiple other users about when I will run for RfA, I thought it would be worthwhile to look into. My main interest in becoming an administrator would be to lighten the load of other admins. Firstly, through my work with NPP, I often stumble into certain circumstances that require admin support. For example, when seeing a page that has been previously deleted, it would be useful to be able to see the previously deleted page to see if it is the same page or has been improved substantially. Similarly, I occasionally come across potential socks, where the page previously created by the sock has been deleted. In starting an SPI, it would be useful to see the similarities between the pages. As an admin, I may also be able to address other issues that regularly arise, such as CSDs and CV rev-dels.
Although I do not have any GAs or FAs, I have created many articles, primarily focusing on literature related to women and LGBT folks to help address known disparities on Wikipedia. I have also been working with NPP for the past year and am among the top reviewers.
I'm interested in any and all feedback related to my performance and likelihood of passing RfA. :)
- I offered to co-nom you with Leek so obviously I think you have a good chance. As people told me once upon a time, it's a good sign when admins are asking you to run. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 00:57, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- (edit conflict)*I've taken a whirlwind tour using many of the above tools, as well as your talk page, and I think your chances are quite good. You've been reasonably active for more than three years, 35K mainspace contribs, very good percentage of AFD votes in agreement with the subsequent result, and you seem polite and well-infomred in your interactions with other users. Plus you've got two excellent Wikipedians goading you into it, perhaps they could also be persuaded to co-nominate? I don't personally think it should be this way but these days self-noms are much rarer and most succesful RFAs have at least two nominators. Some users will come after you about the lack of GA content, but if you know that going in and can point to other articles you created that just are not at that level yet I think that's fairly compelling.

- It's not impossible though, given that I successfully self-nommed back in December with less experience than Significa. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 01:09, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- To reiterate what I said elsewhere: I am talking about what I'm talking about. Good luck ;) ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 01:11, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- As I said nearly a year ago, I think you'd be a good admin. I'd be happy to nominate you if you're interested! —Ingenuity (t • c) 01:55, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- Not that you need more offers... But I'm also available to nominate :) Hey man im josh (talk) 03:01, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
