Template:Editnotices/Page/Wikipedia talk:Advice for RfA candidates

Nobody gets it  right  first  time, even the world's best  selling author has editors. When making suggestions  here, please bear in  mind the TWO most  important  issues I  have tried to  address: Your objective and positive suggestions are most welcome. Thanks.
 * Encouraging mature, experienced editors to  go  for it by doing their very  best  to  succeed first time, and by avoiding issues that are  reasons for all  the nastiness that  happens at  RfA.
 * Discouraging editors from  making  hopeless applications, or at  least  driving  home the message that  they  will  discover from  the advice that  they  are really not  ready  yet and may have a long  way  to  go  before they  are.
