{{info|Please read '''''[[Bharatpedia:Really simple guide to requests for adminship|Really simple guide to requests for adminship]]''''' before you make a request for adminship, otherwise you might be wasting your own and everyone else's time. Self-evaluation is very important.<br>Read also '''''[[Bharatpedia:Advice for RfA candidates|Advice for RfA candidates]]''''' and if you meet the criteria, don't let any of it put you off – for a well prepared candidate who fulfills the general criteria and has no skeletons in the cupboard, becoming an admin is easy.}}<br />
The [[BP:RfA|request for adminship]] process on Bharatpedia sounds simple enough; a generally good editor can step up to the plate to ask for a few more buttons to help out a little bit more. The actual RfA can be a challenge – some people are sure to oppose; there are even editors who systematically oppose every RfA, but don't worry too much about them. <!-- it is very difficult not to take opposition to heart, as others are effectively saying that the candidate is untrustworthy and detailing why. Every edit that the candidate has made is up for review and, even when taken out of context, it can blow the opposition out of proportion. Some editors will analyse how long you've been editing, others how often or how many edits you've made overall. Part of this is to see your reaction; if you react badly, you will scupper your adminship attempt. --><br />
<!-- There is a detrimental effect on the editors who try for adminship and fail, so we have two ways of closing RfAs early: [[BP:NOTNOW]], which is designed to stop editors with very little experience from running; and [[BP:SNOW]], or "Doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell". They are both designed to limit the unpleasantness to which the candidate is exposed. --><br />
<!-- ===Can you minimise the pain?===<br />
Currently the best way to reduce the misery is to plan ahead. A dedicated candidate could read the many essays out there, especially [[BP:Advice for RfA candidates|''Advice for RfA candidates'']] that also includes a list of essential further reading. A sensible candidate will start commenting on the RfAs that come up, to help them see what they should expect. --> <br />
<br />
'''Every RfA''' needs a strong, convincing nomination. Generally, self-nominations are only likely to succeed from long-term, very experienced editors. Being nominated by another user demonstrates that at least another Bharatpedian has confidence that the candidate will be successful. Many successful candidates are those who have been nominated by an admin or co-nominated by a second experienced user. <br />
<br />
If you need a nominator, why not send an email to a person on the list below? They will happily look through your contributions and should be able to work out if you are likely to pass a Request for Adminship. You can also ask for a brief evaluation by various experienced editors [[BP:RFACP]] first. If the users on the list below think you would make a good administrator, they will write a nomination for you. If they think you won't pass right now, they will explain it to you gently and what you would need to do to improve your chances in the future. <br />
<br />
If you are looking to use this option, please remember that there will be a lot of information to look through, it might take them a little while, so please do be patient (a great administrator trait!).<br />
