Example User

When you are ready to transclude your nomination, substitute this template; this will start the timer and give the closing date and time of the nomination. Remove the  around subst: in the template (as well as this comment) once you transclude this request.

Nomination

Example User (talk · contribs) – Here write a few short paragraphs about yourself or the person you are nominating for adminship. Include their qualities and what you believe they would do well as an administrator. Explain any mishaps that may happened in the past you feel may affect the votes. Say why you think they (or you) deserve adminship and be sure to transclude the request to WP:RFA.

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here: I accept. ~~~~

Questions for the candidate

Dear candidate, thank you for offering to serve Misplaced Pages as an administrator. Please answer these questions to provide guidance for participants:

1. Why are you interested in becoming an administrator?

A: Here indicate any areas of admin only work you would like to do. Provide links to the various processes (CSD, DYK etc) and say why you want to work there and why you feel you would do well at those venues.

2. What are your best contributions to Misplaced Pages, and why?

A: List any things you've done that you are particularly proud of. It may include any featured or good articles, founding some WikiProject or similar.

3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or have other users caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?

A: In this space write about when you may have got into a conflict (be it 3RR, content disagreement or a block etc) and give a few details. Say if you think this will affect you in any way as an administrator.

You may ask optional questions below. There is a limit of two questions per editor. Multi-part questions disguised as one question, with the intention of evading the limit, are disallowed. Follow-up questions relevant to questions you have already asked are allowed.
