User:Greeves/Adminship

General standards
I think that adminship standards are generally currently a little too high. I recently had a RfA and I was opposed for what I believe to be useless reasons. The major one, which I see in other RfAs as well, is edit count. Not having "enough" total edits or "enough" edits in a certain namespace (usually the mainspace and/or project namespace) can draw one many opposes.

As a community, I think that we are recognizing these reasons for opposition have little to do with if the candidate is suited for adminship. Because of this, I think that the standards of the community are going down a little (in certain unneeded aspects).

My standards
Many users have set standards for what they expect out of an adminship candidate - I am not one of them. There are a few things that I look for though.


 * 1) Civility
 * Civility is of utmost importance. I do recognize that everyone makes mistakes though. If there was an isolated incivility some months back, that's one thing.
