Wikipedia:Vetting process

This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference. Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.

To widen our pool of prospective good candidates, to raise the quality or our candidates, increase the chance for Requests for Adminship (RfAs) to pass, prevent the RfA process from being quite so toxic, and give some of our most prolific editors some honest feedback, experienced editors are invited to propose possible candidates for “vetting”. This is an informal process that is by no means a pre-requisite for a successful RfA.
