@Go Phightins! wrote. While this was an admittedly tongue in cheek comment, I did want to note that it's not as normal to find a candidate and run them immeadiately. The two candidates who are running now had been in discussions with and I about RfA since February and March. This, in my experience, is fairly typical where after there's some interest in RfA from both a nom and a candidate there is some period of time before the RfA launches. This can be for a number of reasons but wanted to note that it's not just as easy as "crack the whip on the people who go scouting for admin candidates".

 * Yes, of course this was tongue-in-cheek ... though I do think sometimes that seeing threads like that gets people's wheels spinning. Much appreciation to you and to Ritchie, not to mention the two candidates, for your work in getting these two outstanding RFAs set up.  Go  Phightins  !  09:23, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
