Wikipedia:RfA talk page coordination
This is a failed proposal. Consensus for its implementation was not established within a reasonable period of time. If you want to revive discussion, please use the talk page or initiate a thread at the village pump. |
This page documents an unofficial Wikipedia process. It is not a policy, guideline, or essay. We'd call it a WikiProject, because it's a project on a wiki, but since we're not actually collaborating on any articles, maybe we'll avoid that label for now. |
As WT:RFA (Requests for adminship) has so many contributors that posting there is like shouting into a wind tunnel, a few editors have appointed themselves as RFA talk coordinators; this position has no authority, no community mandate, and is, like everything on Wikipedia, totally voluntary. As coordinators, we will try to keep track of everything on WT:RFA so that everyone's voice gets heard. The coordinators will be compiling lists of opinions on WT:RFA as the threads progress. If someone's opinion/suggestion is totally ignored, we will bring it up again. If it looks like multiple people have a certain position, we will try to guide discussion to a point where it is clear to all what the general consensus is on that viewpoint.
Coordinators
[edit]Coordinators serve for a month, or until they burn out, which ever is soonest; other editors are free to volunteer at any time, and coordinators are free to quit at any time.
