Research talk:Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition/Administrator candidacy requirements

en.Wiki candidacy requirements

This is quite wrong. 10,000 mainspace edits is wildly inaccurate as is also the need to be well known by the community and/or 'regular' voters. The voters are in fact largely a transient pool of people as previously demonstrated by our own structured research. See also Advice for RfA candidates which I wrote in 2011 and is still today the most visited and cited advice for wannabe admins. You obtain a lot of useful information by visiting such pages as well as other articles about adminship. Kudpung (talk) 21:17, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
