This is an analysis of !voting patterns of people who participated in RfA's that were active on September 13 or September 27, 2008. The analysis was performed using SQL's tool RFA Stats to determine how often a person supported/opposed/or went neutral while voting on RfA's. As such, it should be noted that the data is not perfect.
The tool has trouble identifying some signatures that are unusual (Eg modified and don't exactly match the user name). Furthermore, some people have had name changes since they participated in the RfA for which they were identified. In these cases, the participants' averages were not included. Similarly, there is no warranty that human error didn't occur in transcribing the data for analysis.
"Valid votes" were defined as a "Support" or "Oppose."
For people with 20 "valid" !votes or more:
| Support Percent | Count | Percent of Count |
|---|---|---|
| 0-9.9 | 1 | 0.48 |
| 10-19.9 | 3 | 1.44 |
| 20-29.9 | 5 | 2.39 |
| 30-39.9 | 5 | 2.39 |
| 40-49.9 | 13 | 6.22 |
| 50-59.9 | 21 | 10.05 |
| 60-69.9 | 29 | 13.88 |
| 70-79.9 | 36 | 17.22 |
| 80-89.9 | 45 | 21.53 |
| 90-94.9 | 29 | 13.88 |
| 95-98.9 | 17 | 8.13 |
| 99-100 | 5 | 2.39 |
For people who have 100 "valid" !votes or more:
| Support Percent | Count | Percent of Count |

Some interesting highlights:
- As expected, KMWEBER had the lowest support ratio of anybody who had 20 or more valid votes.
- NewYorkBrad (98.9%) and Alcalmari (97.6%) were the two participants with over 100 !votes with the highest support level.
- Besides KMWEBER, TigerShark (24.1%) and Asenine (36.6) were the two participants with over 100 !votes with the lowest support level.
- The Admin with the lowest support level is Tigershark (24.1%), Gamaliel (39.3%) is the admin with the second lowest support level.
- Besides KMWEBER, the person with a failed RfA with the lowest support level is Ironholds (26.8%) with Asenine (36.6%) right behind him.
- Besides KMWEBER, the five people with the lowest support levels do not have RfA's under their current name.
- Of the 5 people who have never opposed a candidate, 2 are admins (CJLL Wright and Ruhrfisch). 2 have failed an RfA (J.delanoy and Addshore.) One has never run, Sunderland06. (All have between 20 and 40 !votes.)
