Administrators are elected here. Any registered editor may nominate another, or themselves. Discussion runs for seven days, after which a bureaucrat closes it. The rough threshold is 70% support, but a bureaucrat weighs arguments rather than counting heads.

Administrators can protect pages, delete pages and block accounts. They have '''no''' additional authority over content: an admin who loses a content argument has lost it.

== What people are actually assessed on ==
* Edit history, particularly talk-page behaviour under disagreement
* Whether they revert with a reason
* Whether they can tell the difference between an unfunny article and an article whose jokes they personally did not enjoy

That last one is the job.

'''Support.''' Reverts vandalism within minutes, always leaves a summary, and removed their own joke from [[Platypus]] when it was shown to be unsourced. [[User:Admin|Admin]] ([[User talk:Admin|talk]]) 10:22, 1 September 2026 (UTC)
: '''Support.''' The [[Talk:Platypus]] thread is the best argument anyone could make for their own nomination. [[User:MonotremeMary|MonotremeMary]] ([[User talk:MonotremeMary|talk]]) 11:04, 1 September 2026 (UTC)

'''Neutral.''' Excellent sourcing, but three reverts in one hour on [[Mantis shrimp]] without using the talk page. Ask again in a month. [[User:Ornithopod|Ornithopod]] ([[User talk:Ornithopod|talk]]) 18:40, 2 September 2026 (UTC)
: That is fair. Withdrawing for now. [[User:Thoenfan|Thoenfan]] ([[User talk:Thoenfan|talk]]) 20:15, 2 September 2026 (UTC)
