RfA Prep

Congratulations! You've finished Admin Coaching! It's now time to get on with your RfA, and make everything you worked for throughout coaching count for something bigger.

This subpage will be used for RfA prep - mainly comments, questions, ect.

Now, Let's get started:

Answer the questions best you can and I'll have a nomination statement shortly. If you have any questions, comments, or if you want me to proofread your questions, please feel free to let me know.

And, well that's it; I've completed my nomination statement. Feel free to transclude at your discretion. Best of luck to you my friend, it's been a honor to have you as a student. All the best, FASTILY ^(TALK) 05:13, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Actually I'd just like to have you take a look at what I've written there real quickly. I wrote it on the fly, and I'm worried it doesn't sound good, can you do so? Magog the Ogre (talk) 09:55, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Well, I don't see any major issues right of the bat. If you ask me, I think the answers to questions one and two could be expanded. For question one, think about what you do on a day-to-day basis on Wikipedia. If you were a sysop, it's likely you would be doing work along the same lines. For question two, you may want to consider citing specific examples of your work that you are most proud of; this is the time to go into details and brag! For question three, IMHO, I recommend not citing a specific example. That's purely an opinion though; I've seen plenty of successful RfAs that cite specific incidents for question three and plenty that don't reference any incidents. All in all, remember that the answers to the questions should be likened to a job résumé, that is, they're very important! You want to use these questions to show the RfA community the good work you've done and prove yourself as an editor. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 18:44, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
