Requests for adminship (RfA) is the process by which the howtopedia community decides who becomes an administrator (or sysop). Administrators have access to a few technical features that help with maintenance. A user either submits their own request for adminship (a self-nomination) or is nominated by another user.
Current nominations for adminship
Add new requests at the top of this section.
Nominations must be accepted by the user in question. If you nominate a user, leave a message on their talk page and ask them to reply here if they accept the nomination. If you intend to nominate yourself, please take note that while there is no hard and fast requirement for nominating, editors with less than three to six months experience and 1,000–2,000 edits very rarely succeed in becoming admins.
Please remember to update the vote-tallies in the headers when voting.

Current nominations for bureaucratship
Bureaucrats are administrators with the additional ability to make other users admins or bureaucrats, based on community decisions reached here. They can also change the user name of any other user.
The process for bureaucrats is similar to that for adminship above, but is generally by self-nomination only. The expectation for promotion to bureaucratship is significantly higher than for admin, in terms of numbers of votes, ability to engage voters and candidates, and significant disqualifications. Candidates might consider initiating a discussion here of the prevailing consensus about the need for additional bureaucrats before nominating themselves.
Bureaucrats are expected to determine consensus in difficult cases and be ready to explain their decisions. Vote sections and boilerplate questions for candidates can be inserted using {{subst:Wikipedia:Requests for bureaucratship/Candidate questions}}. New bureaucrats are recorded at Recently created bureaucrats. Failed nominations are at Wikipedia:Bureaucrat nominees not promoted.
At minimum, study what is expected of a bureaucrat by reading discussions at Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship including the archives, before seeking this position.
Please add new requests at the top of this section immediately below (and again, please update the headers when voting)
{{Wikipedia:Requests for bureaucratship/Celestianpower}}
{{Wikipedia:Requests for bureaucratship/Redux 2}}
