This page is a basic outline of my RfA !vote criteria.^[1] Anyways, here it goes:

What I Prefer in a Prospective Administrator

The candidate has a clean block log or their last block expired more than one and a half years ago, assuming the block wasn't accidental.
The candidate has very little or no history of edit-warring or disputes.
The candidate has made at least 50+ edits to WP:UAA and WP:AIV combined.
The candidate answered their questions reasonably and to the best of their abilities.
The candidate has a great understanding of important Wikipedia guidelines.
The candidate can civilly and logically address comments and arguments, where applicable.

The candidate has a lengthy block log with the most recent block expiring within the last 9 months.
The candidate has always tended to engage in edit-wars or content disputes.
The candidate has a history of extremely sporadic "on and off" editing. If a candidate meets most of my support criteria and has been consistently editing for the past six months before the RfA was filed, I will generally support.^[2]
The candidate has made rude or inappropriate replies to other !votes on their RfA.
The candidate is a new editor.^[3]

The candidate hasn't answered any questions asked by others after a long period, usually three days into the RfA.
The candidate meets some of my support criteria, but is stilling missing a couple of important points.

Content creation. See this small musing I wrote for more information.
I will look through AfD's that the candidate has created or !voted on, but I rarely base my !votes solely on them.

^ Special circumstances around any of my !votes may apply. This page is subject to change at any time without notice.
^ By consistently editing, I generally mean that a candidate has not ceased editing for more than three weeks without warning.
^ See WP:NOTNOW and WP:SNOW for further clarification.
