Administrator Elections: Candidate instructions
Thank you for choosing to run in the October 2024 administrator elections. This bulletin contains some important information about the next stages of the election process.
As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:
- October 15–21: SecurePoll setup phase
- October 22–24: Discussion phase
- October 25–31: SecurePoll voting phase
- November 1–?: Scrutineering phase
We are currently in the SecurePoll setup phase. Your candidate subpage will remain closed to questions and discussion. However, this is an excellent opportunity for you to recruit nominators (if you want them) and have them place their nomination statements, and a good time for you to answer the standard three questions, if you have not done so already. We recommend you spend the SecurePoll setup phase from October 15–21 getting your candidate page polished and ready for the next phase.
The discussion phase will take place from October 22–24. Your candidate subpage will open to the public and they will be permitted to discuss you and ask you formal questions, in the same style as a request for adminship (RfA). Please make sure you are around on those dates to answer the formal questions in a timely manner.
On October 25, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close again to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. Anyone can see who has voted, but not who they voted for. You are permitted and encouraged to vote in the election, including voting for yourself. Please note that the vote tallies cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see your tally during the election. The suffrage requirements are different from those at RfA.
Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for an indeterminate amount of time, perhaps a week or two. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, you must have received at least 70% support, calculated as support ÷ (support + oppose). As this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("'crat chats").
Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation as a candidate, and best of luck.

A gravestone is THE most reliable source for a death, other than the death certificate itself. What is NOT a reliable source is "Allmovie". Bryan Krippner (talk) 07:12, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
Our Admin Election Test
Hello there. As we're preparing to move from one stage to the next, this is just a quick note from one member of the test group to another, wishing you well in the process of this new alternative to RfA. It seems that there are more of us in this group than some in the community anticipated, so i hope that doesn't make the experience any the worse for all of us. Whatever our individual results, i thank you, along with the rest, for stepping up and testing this process; happy days, ~ LindsayHello 07:13, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
A kitten for you!
Wikipedia:Not quite yet, but maybe someday. The willingness to admit you were wrong isn't something everybody has. But until then, here's a kitten and I wish you luck on all your Wikipedia-related endeavors.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider .
Thanks again, and happy editing!

- @MSGJ I don't feel comfortable creating articles on my own, because I'm afraid that they usually won't have enough polish to be notable for inclusion. Using AFC is my best bet because it's often good to let another editor check to see if the article has enough sources and is notable for inclusion on Wikipedia.

DYK for Interstate 59 in Alabama
On 22 November 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Interstate 59 in Alabama, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Malfunction Junction in Birmingham, Alabama, carried 160,000 vehicles in 2018, instead of 80,000 as it was intended to hold? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Interstate 59 in Alabama. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Interstate 59 in Alabama), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
