From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

This is a rough analysis of each candidate's Wikimedia experience, using their statistics. Ineligible and incomplete candidacies are excluded. Feedback and corrections are very welcome on my talk page.

This guide is not a substitute for doing your own research. There may be candidates who appear qualified here but are unsuited to U4C work; conversely, there may be candidates who appear unqualified who would be highly beneficial to the U4C. Statistics never tell the whole story.

Legend

Any candidate involuntarily desysopped or blocked within the past three years is automatically coloured red. Candidates who did not answer any questions before the voting period began are also automatically colored red. If neither of these conditions apply, the criteria below are used.

     Functionary, bureaucrat, arbitrator, or U4C experience      Non-temporary sysop rights      Does not meet either of the above criteria

Sorting the table by rights will also sort it by color.

Table 2: Homewikis

[edit]

This table displays some additional information about candidates who have declared there homewiki to be a wiki that is not their most edited.

"EC" is an abbreviation for edit count. All numbers are to two significant figures.

Candidate Homewiki rank by edits[1] Homewiki EC divided by total EC Homewiki EC divided by most edited wiki EC Homewiki Most edited wiki
Czeus25 Masele 2 0.07 0.07 Swahili Wikipedia Wikimedia Commons
Iwuala Lucy 5 0.08 0.22 Igbo Wikipedia Wikimedia Commons
ProtoplasmaKid 2 0.22 0.45 Spanish Wikipedia Wikimedia Commons
  1. ↑ In other words, if the candidate's homewiki is their most edited wiki, it would be 1. If it is their second most edited, it would be 2, etc.
