this: I don't. I probably won't ever want it. SO (and I appreciate the concern, Flcelloguy!!!), it doesn't matter if doing this "spoils my chances" at the "real" process. Durin, who I respect highly, said this is nothing more than a typing test. I sincerely hope not. What *I* am getting out of it, or hoped to, other than doing it for the good of the project, is honest feedback. Those of you critiquing the process, have you tried to contribute? Maybe you should try first. I'm starting to think the requirement for all diffs is a hard one. Certianly when I wrote the starting summary I didn't take the time to do diffs, I just sketched out the stuff I knew I had been in on. I didn't put it in timeline order either. That's all pretty hard work! Now, on the other hand if you're saying that more proposal refinement should occur and then the test should be restarted, that's fine with me, I'm willing to be the guinea pig a bit later instead of now. ++
1366:" and give no other reason. That would leverage the work done here as well as increase publicity. I know a few people thinking of being admins that might be willing to do that (not sure, it IS a fair bit more work/delay)... As for me, someone asked more questions on my list just now, so I answered more. But it's well past when people were supposed to be pretend voting so... OR maybe I could do some rash/disruptive things to make me less good a candidate? Anything for the good of the project.... Aaron Brenneman, your mother was a hamster and your father smells of elderberries! (how was that?) ++ 844:
community consensus; if there's no consensus to run this trial, there probably won't be a consensus to promote, either. Personally, I'm also against this trial; as Durin points out above, what exactly are you trying to test? We're changing several elements at once, using an extremely small sample size (1), which was done by volunteer. I don't think we'll get conclusive results about how this will work. Thus, I urge both the nominator and nominee to consider holding off until community consensus has been reached and more discussions have proceeded. Thanks!
774:
through, RfA would have been badly disrupted. Furthermore, there was no discussion or attempt to gain consensus on this proposal prior to attempting to implment it. This is decidedly anti-wiki. To have gone ahead with implementation of this proposal in this manner shows a singular failure of reasonable judgement on the part of the bureaucrats who attempted this. It should hardly be surprising that people who otherwise might have been at least somewhat accepting of this proposal now find it considerably less acceptable given these events. --
871:. I think I'm a good test case because I'm borderline qualified editwise (just under 2000 but not too far under), timewise (around 3 months of serious editing), broadness of edit activitywise (articlespace, projectspace, templatespace, imagespace, userspace, all have some action from me) civilitywise (I'm fairly civil but no angel, I've been in some scuffles I'm not proud of) and a number of other ways. So just the sort of candidate that is neither a slam dunk 100/1/0, nor a clearly not qualified easy early 755:
description of what "good standing" means. I.e., it's meaningless. On the template, you have "The poll isn't open yet. Please wait a couple of days, and join the discussion above." So, I can start voting two days after it opens? Not according to the instructions at the top which says three days. Oh wait, no, it's four days according to "Discussion will last for four days after that" at the top of the template. Bottom line, this is poorly organized, and is wanting for a great deal of copy editing.
962:. Simply because two bureaucrats are behind it does not mean it has the blessing of the community, and bureaucrats do not trump community. I will state again since it seems I'm being misunderstood; I'm not opposed to change. I don't think WP:RFA is perfect. I'm opposed to change that is not rationally based. This change is clearly not rationally based. That's not to say the editors in question are irrational, just the process under which it was developed has been irrational and fatally flawed. -- 763:
For two, the fact that people can edit others comments during the "discussion" period means a higher likelihood for people making reverts of each other to characterize/recharacterize different pieces of evidence regarding the nominee. And you think RfA is contentious? I shudder to think how bad DfA would be in comparison. People revert war over biographies of people they've never met. I think they're considerably more likely to revert war over people they care about or strongly dislike. --
751:). Put that aside, and you're running a test run with Lar as the subject. Can people discuss someone before voting? Certainly. You can 'prove' that with this test, but you don't really need this test to ascertain that. Is this 'test' going to prove that this new process can prevent potentially bad admins from getting through? Impossible, especially with just one test subject, and especially without any understanding of how RfA is or is not failing in this regard. 31: 2224:"... Do that a few times and maybe? Note that this won't happen overnight but it's a start. The other area to focus on is to make the whole process (a prenom vetting, as it were) as smooth as possible to encourage people to actually use it, and whenever they have trouble, fix the process docs. This is not disruptive in any way to the existing process but will raise awareness of this augmentation. Thoughts? 537: 165:: This isn't necessarily a bad thing. RfA can be oriented towards finding what is wrong with a person than what is right. RfA is something of an investigation into whether a person is suited to being an admin. Finding negative evidence is part of that process. I don't think this should be removed as a factor, nor do I suspect there'd be much community concensus for doing so. 236:
issues and/or if it raises other significant problems. In essence, by creating a parallel process without prerequisites, we are designing an experiment with no control, no targeted observations, and no experiment management overview. The results we get from such a parallel process will be debated, sometimes hotly, and at best yield dubious results. --
183:: Bureaucrats have, can, and will discount votes from perfectly well meaning contributors to RfA in pursuit of consensus. This is a critical function of bureaucrats in discerning consensus. It isn't an easy job, but the bureaucrats have done a pretty good job of it. This job is in direct opposition to vote counting, and it works. -- 1773:
comments. If you want to kick this thing in the pants and get it going, then work from the ground up and rebuild it. It needs a kick in the pants because its' been badly formed and poorly thought out. I'm not attacking any person here, just the process (or lack thereof) that was used to develop this. This has a long way to go. --
2212:" assuming Smurray gets enough good feedback to go forward to the rest of the RfA process. (the latter being presumably a rare finding by one of us, but nevertheless possible) Do that for two or three candidacies (we need to "recruit" another candidate or two to go through this before RfA), and then starting voting 2408:
There have been some highly vocal requests for metrics to define the problem. One suggested was the number of administrative actions that were reversed. This strikes me as a good start, but fiendish to collect. Any thoughts as to how that data might be collected and massaged, or other ways to test
1664:
Actually... rather than waffling on about this any more, can we have real candidate and we'll simply do this as a joint nomination? Nothing saying that can't be done in the current framework, we'll write the pseudo-article, provide diffs, hammer it somewhere other than the RfA page... and Bob's your
1643:
So what...we have a few admins that got promoted that ended up not being the right choices and now we are going to think that this less than 1% means that the current method is broken? There is no way I could support most of the changes proposed by this suggested policy. Someone needs to show me that

to be an admin. For example, looking at the progress so far, not much work has gotten done on the actual article section, but instead all the effort has gone into the questions. Would this be how it would work for an actual nomination? Because if so, we wouldn't have gained much... but there's no way
797:
as opposed to complaining about it. The whole "psedu-article" idea stinks? No better way to find that out than by trying it. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. The worst outcome would be four days (or three!) wasted when we see that the "Larticle" doesn't help us decide if he should be an
762:
This proposal sets the stage for revert wars. Why? One, because of this easily contended statement: "Overly lengthy comments or discussions can be moved to the talk page". I'm wordy when I type. Thus, there's a far better chance my comments will be moved to the talk page, favoring less wordy editors.
701:
This isn't anything like the DFA proposal Ilyanep and Linuxbeak set up, on the basis of their previous public discussion on the subject, and of which they were presumably prepared to honor the results, as bureaucrats. This is an idea floated without support; without an undertaking by bureaucrats that
375:
It's all well and good if a number of you have been working behind the scenes coming up with a new process to replace the current mechanism used at RfA. It's entirely possible you came up with an amazingly perfect method for evaluating RfA candidates (though I doubt that; see my comments in the prior
201:
Another tool (yet to be used) we can use to identify whether RfA is doing a decent job is by identifying negative behaviors of admins, and see how many admins are engaging in such behaviors. If it's a very small percentage, then RfA is doing a good job. That small percentage can be handled by dispute
198:
admins occasionally. We can't prevent all bad admins from getting through. What we can do is help to ensure we have adequate mechanisms in place for handling such failures, and ensure that the process isn't letting through so many bad admins that we overload the processes that handle these failures.
193:
I'd like to note that it does not appear that the group that has been working on this new RfA reform idea has done any point by point analysis of these problems, decided what is important/what is not, and shown how this new process might solve any of these problems. There's scattered discussion along
79:
This new idea for RfA reform is no better or worse than any other idea we've had for RfA reform over the last many months. The difference here is that it has the weight of a couple of bureaucrats behind it. Problem is, what they have their weight behind has not been evaluated for its ability to solve
1296:
I added a line between nominations as at RFA. There, the line is magically added automatically as the result of something within the template that produces the nomination. I've never understood how that works, but there ought to be something similar here, yes? I really should understand templates
953:
had the guts to revert the suspension of RfA. This thing was hardly ready to go live. A casual review of it would have shown that. There's not even a "discuss here" link on the template (replacing the "vote here" link on RfAs). This proposal had no business seeing the light of day because it was not
644:
Well, if an idea is for good (and not-voting-out of the blue and putting the crads on the table I think are) why ask for more reason? Indeed, the RFA disabling may have left some people at unease, I'm just hoping that people isn't opposing it just on the basis how was it attempted to be done. Thanks
603:
Just a quick note, as I haven't been following the thread. I think it's great to have a small period of discussion previous to "vote". I mean, if someone has waited a few months, can he not wait for 1 week more? I don't see what's wrong with having a previous discussion period before poll to enable
1772:
You can go for it and be bold all you like. This is a less hostile approach than the suspension of RfA that was attempted by this group some time ago. Still, it's likely that the addition will be reverted by somebody. This process is still very half baked and lacking in basis. See all of my earlier
1656:
Err.. what? The one percent figure is based upon a metric that isn't widely accepted as representative of the problem and is sourced from someone who opposes this adjustment with some force. I'm not suggesting that there's any malice in choosing it, but when we get aresult that matches our chosen
1612:
Speaking of pessimism, I think this proposal is fizzling out. Reading its project page, it's not even clear what the proposal is - the two examples show very different things - and I think that's why it's having a hard time getting support. I'd support a reincarnation of this proposal, but first it
1158:
I'd like to express, essentially, the opposite opinion to Durin's, who seems to say that this proposal shouldn't even be worked on until it has community consensus. I think that the community consensus can't happen unless the proposal is worked on first. Following Durin's suggestion would put us in
817:
thought into this. The "aint broke don't fix it" points have been made again and again, and people are clearly not swayed by them. Eventually it becomes time to let it go. I cannot help but note that we are no longer setting the sysop flag based upon mailing list... times change, things change.
805:
slight tweak on the proposal, that comments are written without signatures. There was some small support expressed for doing it in this manner, and no objections. More generally, it was suggested by a b'cat that someone be the test case, albiet not for this form. Lar doesn't want to be an admin,
385:
If you want the community to back the reform proposal, then in the very least offer some time for public commentary on the plan that you come up with. What you have done is, in legislative terms, come up with a bill to be passed, discussed it in committee without public input, and attempted to pass
1341:
I'm still here! The "Lar" hasn't shown what I was looking for: he's too good a candidate, plus I'm realising that very few people are going to have the drive to do the extra work that this takes from contributors when there is nothing at stake. Voting is too easy, but for anything excpet for the

is the direct result of those discussions (cf. Uncontested Deletion, which is more-or-less identical). Second, the belief that AFD is fundamentally flawed/too controversial/unable to scale is far more widespread than the belief that RFA has similar flaws (see for instance the mailing list lately).
879:
around nominee please!!!! I agreed to this because I think Aaron's on to something interesting, and because I personally want the feedback, NOT because I want the job. When you're running the test, evaluate me as if I actually wanted the job. please. But if you're talking meta, like here, remember
235:
I don't have any problem with a parallel process running. In fact, I think it would be a good thing to do if certain prerequisites are met. One of them is to identify what is wrong with RfA so you can fairly evaluate whether the parallel, proposed process has been capable of solving the identified
754:
I'd also like to note that page is poorly written and needs a lot of editing. For example, it's nonsensical to have "see also Knowledge:List of non-admins with high edit counts" at the top of the section of nomination standards. Another example; "Any user in good standing..." with no accompanying
400:
The only way to prevent sheep voting (the reason why DFA is being proposed) is to have votes be emailed to a bureaucrat for counting. People are not going to bother to discuss when they can simply vote. Voters could put Support/Oppose in the subject line, allowing for easy sorting by bureaucrats.
197:
In all of these supposed problems that RfA has, there's little in the way of suggestion that RfA is promoting bad admins too frequently. Will RfA promote bad admins? Absolutely. Why? Because we're human, and no process is perfect. Ships sink, airplanes blowup, trains de-rail, and RfA promotes bad
1391:
Hehehe, I'd volunteer to be desysoped and then go through this process again. :p It'd be a lot cooler to say (when adminship is the discussion topic), "Oh, I was the first guy to go through DfA and pass, with a hundred supports!" than "Oh, I got sysoped in 2004 with 14 supports, 2 opposes, and 1
944:
I'm not keen on contributing to something that I think is fundamentally flawed. If you want to start from scratch with some effort to identify what is wrong with RfA is some reasoned format, then we can talk. This proposal is poorly formed, poorly thought out, and lacking in basis. The idea that
843:
Quite frankly, I agree with Durin and Demi above that this nomination is premature. Not only has the community not expressed widespread support for implementing or testing DfA, but discussions are still ongoing regarding these reforms. In addition, note that bureaucrats are trusted to interpret
627:
The main concern seems to be whether there's any purpose to it, i.e. not so much what's wrong with it as why do it. Also, people are haggling over various specifics of the proposal. My sense (feel free to disagree) is that the proposal isn't generating particularly strong support or opposition,
584:
If we're going to change the system but keep the basic 80%/counting framework, this suggestion is much more interesting than the current draft, at least. Much more potential to genuinely cause changes, but for the good or bad I don't know. It would be interesting to see a few of these done (I'd
773:
I'd also like to note that it was way out of line for an attempt to made to jam this proposal down the neck of RfA. Noting the problems I wrote about above, it's obvious this proposal has yet to be properly thought out, discussed, and reasonably edited. If this had somehow managed to have gone
758:
The "discussion" period (is it three or four days? I don't know, neither do the editors of this proposal) isn't a discussion period. That implies dialogue going on. That's not what is proposed here. What is proposed is a group effort to develop a summary of the nominee. That's not discussion.
177:: Implies people working behind the scenes trying to make certain RfAs pass or fail. Campaigning in RfA is widely recognized as bad, and is looked upon very poorly. I don't see the effect. Some citations of example cases would be useful for clarifying this problem (if indeed it is a problem). 2247:
I like this idea. After all, the voting phase of the process is nothing more than RfA. DfA is just RfA with a momentary prelude where information is gathered and collated so voters have a lot more to base their decision on. Essentially, we could even split RfA into two distinct phases.
1437:
before it's slander, you know. I think that's a bloody good idea, and even the nominations could be the MumbleGuy link. But as my recent example shows people charge at the gate and start voting post haste. *kicks Lar* It would probably take working on the pseudo-article
1189:
There are a couple of reasons why that is a poor analogy. First, the fact that the months of discussion, which you seem to think were not useful, did exactly what they were intended to do -- bring in a lot of ideas, give them some exposure, and see what people thought.
158:: The comments on the RfA reform page seem to more or less agree. Maybe this is a real issue. This is hard to know without having any feedback on how admins are failing in their work as an admin, and how often it happens. Maybe RfA as it currently is filters out : --> 1579:
And I've decided that I do have the time, and the best way to find out if RfA really works like I think it does is to try it. I'm going to go nominate myself now. I'm not trying to solicit votes, just pointing out that I may not be available for a test run anymore.
628:
probably because it is not much of a divergence from our existing system, and is thus unlikely to do much harm but also unlikely to solve any of the problems to which it is a response. Brenneman and Bruning have proposed a bit more radical change directly above.
1657:
narrative we tend to stop looking. As far as I can see this "whole change" amounts to a collaborative nomination process, that's it. Rather than one editor saying "Mumbltypeg does a lot of work and is a good guy" a few (or a dozen) editors get together and

the problems RfA has. That's because, once again, this idea has been spawned and developed without any prior identification of what is wrong with RfA. Coming up with new ideas and even implementing them is easy. Having the courage to figure out what is wrong
205:
You develop processes that work by using a number of evaluation tools, not just one. Opinion input is just one tool. Focus groups that develop discussion and talking points are another. Culling of behavior from logs is yet another. There are others as well.
1831:
I'm not prepared to offer an opinion regarding the proposal itself, but I will say that its title is not good. I realize that the idea is to stress the emphasis that would be placed on discussion, but "Discussions for adminship" is linguistically awkward.
1361:
Perhaps find a candidate who wants to be an Admin now/nowish, and get them to agree to be run through this process, then through RfA? The RfA intro could point here and everyone who supported/opposed here could just say in their support/oppose there "see
1163:: months and months of discussion where everyone says "I kinda like foo, but I think bar would be better", with the community at large quickly losing interest. Fake RfAs (er, DfAs) for people who don't actually want to be admins yet is a great idea, too. 2438:
We're starting to get a few more data points on that but I think it will stay sparse. If you put requests for comment, mediation, and arbitration in that would be interesting. I'd like to see non-certified of rejected ones in that data set as well. -

which showed only 66% support), and contains requirements that nominees must have at least 500 edits (which has no consensus and no poll asserting such). The entire proposal centers around more discussion, which suffers from even less support at 59%
2287:), the better, IMO. If the current incarnation is ONLY to serve as an optional process for improving nominations, that's very different from where we were before. Changing voting styles based on whether or not someone went through DfA is ripe for 318:
I'm not sure what problem there would be with legitimacy; RfA doesn't seem so broken that its results could be described as illegitimate, and certainly this draft doesn't contain anything that would make me doubt the legitimacy of the results.
1024:
I've replaced the "AdminWannabe" section so we can compare. My opinon has been that we had all seen what the existing template looked like, and that the best way to find any possible problems with the alternate idea was a dry run, and Lar
2282:
I don't think this method of "propoganda" is the way to go here. This whole DfA thing has become tainted by the appearance of being ramrodded through by a few interested parties. The more transparently it's included when asked for (via
1835:
I can understand why process reform might be warranted, but I see no reason why the "Requests for adminship" designation should be thrown out with the bath water. It's a perfectly good name, and I believe that it should be retained.
1889:
I agree, the name is needlessly clumsy, and as this only changes the methodology, and not actually the consensus/result, a name change shouldn't be needed. The requests remain, the voting is de-emphasized/informed in this version. --
1737:! Only quibble is with "gives a complete picture". That's the goal, yes, but it may be overpromsing. Try "gives a better picture" instead? PS I've now had several people suggest I should stand. I'm still saying no, but wavering. ++ 475:
The following section is intended to allow editors unfamiliar with the nominee to make an informed decision regarding promotion. Any editor is welcome to make additions, make changes, or remove items, as long as they it is
1130:
Well I was PRETTY sure we'd have "someone involved in this process who wasn't an admin but whose record was controversial enough to make it interesting" soon, but then Brennerman's RfA passed! So much for THAT idea. :)
675:
as a test case, just to see how it might work. He'd indicated that he was willing elsewhere, but I'm re-pinging him now. And I know I haven't changed the template, I wanted it to be easier to back out if we hate it.-
1758:? Maybe you could just fined somebody willing to be a guinea pig without posting any note, if possible. And sooner or later there's got to be a poll about the whole thing, say after you try it out with one person. 118:: Ilyanep suggests people vote to make a point. Maybe, maybe not. Any basis in fact? I don't know and I suspect nobody does. I'd like to see cites of how these 'point' votes actually changed the outcome of an RfA. 1249:
Concur with Christopher Parham and Durin; also note that deletion is a reversable process, whereas de-sysoppings are not (well, at least not easily). These kinds of major changes need lots of discussion first

What, specifically, are you testing? See my notes above. You're taking shots in the dark. About the only thing you're going to be able to draw valid conclusions about is whether people can type. :/ --
202:
resolution processes. If that small percentage isn't so small, then RfA needs to evolve to make it smaller so as not to overburden the dispute resolution processes. There are other tools as well.
1665:
Uncle. Once people have seen six or eight nominations like that, they'll never go back. They'll be voting "oppose, crap nomination" to ones done the old way faster than a rat up a drain pipe.
295:
Until something is done along the lines I suggested above, it simply doesn't make sense to run an experiment. You might as well plow snow using a sledgehammer for all the good it will do. --
1048:
We could also have a retired admin up for comparison :-) There's only two of us at the moment though. (I hope other folks will start retiring soon too, it's kinda lonely out here :-/)
1467:
I could try being a "candidate". Right now, I don't quite have the time to become an admin, and (sadly) I probably don't have the edit count either. But I'd like to see how I'm doing.
2292: 706:
just a shot in the dark. I reiterate that no one has yet expressed any support for this idea as proposed on this talk page, so I hardly see how moving to a next step makes sense.
1901: 2209: 2205: 2002: 216:
I think this is a very good summary, and I endorse it. However, I don't think there are any problems with having a new process run parallel with the existing one, per above.
1710:. Editors there will co-operate in producing a nomination that gives a complete picture of the good and bad qualities of the nominee and submit it as a joint nominatation. 171:: RfA reform lists a long littany of different problems with voters. As a whole, too diverse a set of statements to adequately answer or consider as a basis for RfA reform. 2306: 59: 813:
And what's the problem with a "shot in the dark" anyway? Evolution seems to get from slime-molds to J. Wales by virtue of lots of random changes, and at least we've put

No, I think that non-admins are a better choice for test subjects. Of coure, any method will work for the clear no-hopers and the uncontroversial candidates. If

Perhaps I'm being pessimistic, but extrapolating from other RfAs: "Only 2000+ edits in two years. Candidate should be more active." I'd love to be wrong, though.

The above would only allow bad admin to engage the system. The idea is to keep vandalism down to a minimum, a vandal with Admin abilities is a bad idea.
