OK, Tolkien Gateway, '''the time has come'''. King Aragorn has made a good point about Hyarion's recent vacation, and I have always felt that there needed to be another admin on TG.  If anything happened to Hy, TG would be crippled.  I therefore nominate the first among the recent vacation triumvirate, '''[[User:Ederchil|Ederchil]]'''.  He has shown himself worthy, and enforcer of TG standards, and a defender against outside disruptions. --[[User:Theoden1|Theoden1]] 21:40, 5 August 2008 (EDT)
Administrators need to have the trust and confidence of the community so administrators are usually those editors with considerable experience (currently, the five administrators are the five [[Tolkien Gateway:Top Editors|top editors]]). Potential administrators also need to be very well-acquainted with Tolkien Gateway's [[Tolkien Gateway:Policy|policies]], [[Tolkien Gateway:Manual of Style|style guide]], and [[Help:Editing|procedures]].

Requests for adminship (RFA) is the process by which the Tolkien Gateway decides which editors will become administrators. Administrators are users who are trusted to use their own judgement to exercise certain technical abilities for the benefit of Tolkien Gateway.

Below are listed the specific requirements for a valid nomination. To view past requests, see the RFA archive.

Requirements

In order for a nomination to be valid, an editor must meet the following criteria:

  1. They have an account under a screen-name.
  2. They have actively contributed for at least six months to the wiki.
  3. They have demonstrated they are willing to take on additional responsibilities to make the community better.
  4. They have had at least some major article revisions.
  5. They have dealings with other users on a regular basis in a fair, restrained, and constructive manner.
  6. They have demonstrated an understanding of the community's policies and procedures.

Voting lasts for two weeks. To be successful, voting must be unanimously in favour.

Administrators need to have the trust and confidence of the community so administrators are usually those editors with considerable experience (currently, the five administrators are the five top editors). Potential administrators also need to be very well-acquainted with Tolkien Gateway's policies, style guide, and procedures.
