The researchers also proposed an alternative method for choosing administrators, in which more weight is given to the votes of experienced editors.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book | url=http://www.cse.wustl.edu/~sanmay/papers/wiki-cikm.pdf | author=Das, Sanmay | title=Proceedings of the 22nd ACM international conference on Conference on information &amp;amp; knowledge management – CIKM &#039;13 | chapter=Manipulation among the arbiters of collective intelligence | year=2013 | pages=1097–1106 | doi=10.1145/2505515.2505566 | isbn=978-1-4503-2263-8 | s2cid=52865675 | access-date=24 January 2014 | archive-date=19 February 2021 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210219132454/https://www.cse.wustl.edu/~sanmay/papers/wiki-cikm.pdf | url-status=dead }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This corresponds to a modality of [[plural voting]]. Another paper, presented at the 2008 [[Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems]], analyzed data from all 1,551 requests for adminship from January 2006 to October 2007, with the goal of determining which (if any) of the criteria recommended in Bharatpedia&#039;s &#039;&#039;Guide to requests for adminship&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;See {{srlink|Bharatpedia:Guide to requests for adminship}}.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; were the best predictors of whether the user in question would actually become an admin.&amp;lt;ref name=Mop /&amp;gt; In December 2013, a similar study was published by researchers from the Polish-Japanese Institute of Information Technology in [[Warsaw]], which aimed to model the results of requests for adminship on the [[Polish Bharatpedia]] using a model derived from Bharatpedia&#039;s edit history. They found that they could &quot;classify the votes in the RfA procedures using this model with an accuracy level that should be sufficient to recommend candidates.&quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last1=Jankowski-Lorek |first1=Michal |last2=Ostrowski |first2=Lukasz |last3=Turek |first3=Piotr |last4=Wierzbicki |first4=Adam |title=Modeling Bharatpedia admin elections using multidimensional behavioral social networks |doi=10.1007/s13278-012-0092-6 |journal=Social Network Analysis and Mining |volume=3 |issue=4 |pages=787 |year=2013 |doi-access=free }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

On [[Bharatpedia]], trusted users may be appointed as &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;administrators&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (also referred to as &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;admins&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;sysops&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; or &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;janitors&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;),{{rp|327}} following a successful request for adminship.

&lt;br /&gt;
On Bharatpedia, becoming an administrator is often referred to as being &amp;quot;given [or taking up] the mop&amp;quot;,&amp;lt;ref name=BP /&amp;gt; a term which has also been used elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Requests for adminship ==&lt;br /&gt;
While the first Bharatpedia administrators were appointed by its founder in August 2020, administrator privileges on Bharatpedia are now granted through a process known as requests for adminship (RfA). Any registered editor may nominate themselves or may request another editor to do so. Candidacy for the role is normally considered only after &amp;quot;extensive work on the Bharatpedia&amp;quot;. While any editor may vote in an RfA, the outcome is not determined by a majority vote, but rather by whether consensus has been reached that the candidate would make a good administrator, a decision that can only be made by a bureaucrat, a Bharatpedia editor who is also appointed by the community through a &amp;quot;request&amp;quot; process, though the process is much stricter for them than for administrators.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Bharatpedia:Bureaucrats|url=https://en.bharatpedia.org.in/wiki/Bharatpedia:Bureaucrats|website=Bharatpedia|publisher=Bharatmedia Foundation}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Role ==&lt;br /&gt;
Once granted administrator privileges, a user has access to additional functions in order to perform certain duties. These include &amp;quot;messy cleanup work&amp;quot;, deletion of articles deemed unsuitable, protecting pages (restricting editing privileges to that page),{{rp|66}} and [[Block (Internet)|blocking]] the accounts of disruptive users.
