To nominate yourself or another editor for adminship, you must first create an RfA subpage for the candidate. However, it is a good idea to seek out the prospective candidate before you create the RfA subpage – if the candidate wants to wait or doesn't wish to be an admin, creating the page may be a bit awkward for them, so please check first. This will also prevent the candidate from declining the RfA. | Any user with editing experience can apply for adminship. If you are new on Bharatpedia but have experience in editing Wikipedia you can still nominate yourself. To nominate yourself or another editor for adminship, you must first create an RfA subpage for the candidate. However, it is a good idea to seek out the prospective candidate before you create the RfA subpage – if the candidate wants to wait or doesn't wish to be an admin, creating the page may be a bit awkward for them, so please check first. This will also prevent the candidate from declining the RfA. | ||
The RfA subpage will be created automatically when you follow the instructions in the appropriate section below. You will be taken directly to this new subpage when you click the nomination button. On this subpage, the nominator must explain why this candidate would make a good administrator. Next, the candidate must accept the nomination on this subpage. The subpage should '''not''' be transcluded to the main RfA page before the candidate has accepted the nomination and made a statement or answered the questions. This ensures editors will not vote against candidates simply because they have not completed the nomination – this prevents embarrassment and irritation for everybody. Also please refrain from "voting" on an RfA before transclusion. This is a time to prepare the RfA, as well as answer the necessary questions and get co-nominators. | The RfA subpage will be created automatically when you follow the instructions in the appropriate section below.

Take a moment for self-evaluation. Try to consider your contributions to Bharatpedia the way that others will see them. Look at recent [[Bharatpedia:Successful requests for adminship|successful RfAs]] and [[Bharatpedia:Unsuccessful adminship candidacies (Chronological)|unsuccessful RfAs]]. How do your contributions compare to those of candidates who passed but had notable opposition, or failed but had strong support? Check your edit count (line four of your [[Special:preferences|'''my preferences''' tab]]). Consider asking the community what they think with an [[Bharatpedia:Requests for adminship/Optional RfA candidate poll|optional opinion poll]]. | Take a moment for self-evaluation.
