Administrator status is grantit ti trustie members o the commonty that's fameiliar wi Wikipedia policies. Admins dinna hae ony byordinar authority on Wikipedia, but is hauden ti heich standards, sin they are seen bi some uisers as the "offeicial face" o Wikipedia. Admins shuid be mainerlie, an shuid shaw guid juidgment an patience in dealin wi ithers. Nominees shuid hae been on Wikipedia lang eneuch for fowk ti see gif they hae thir qualities or no. Houaniver, adminship shuidna be a muckle thing. Admin actions is reversible; bein an admin is maistlins an extra responsibeility, sin there are rules an policies that juist applees til admins.
Nomination staundarts
Maist neow admins haes mair nor three month o parteecipation an mair nor 1000 edits. See the
standards for adminship

Ye dow nominate yersel.
Anonymous users canna be nominated, nor nominate ithers, nor vote. They are alloued ti comment tho.
Nomination process
Nominations stay for seiven days, for votes an comments. Bureaucrats dow at their discretion extend this whan consensus isna clair; the threshold for consensus on this page is rochlie 75-80 percent support. In extraordinar circumstances, bureaucrats micht chuise forbye ti void the walins cast an require a rewale. Thae nominations that will clairly fail micht be taen awa aerlier for ti stop collogues that causes ill will; houaniver, sin maist editors disna veisit Wikipedia ilka day, a raisonable time shuid be gien. Some uisers opposes aerlie removal under onie circumstances. Gin yer nomination is
rejectit
, please wait a raisonable time afore appleein ance mair (say, a month).
Sel-nominations
Please review the qualifications abuin. Some editors feels that sel-nominees shoud "exceed the ordinar guidelines by guid meisur", hae an accoont name that is
mony
months auld an hae
mnny
hunders o edits (in practice onybody wi less nor 1000 edits haesna a real chance o passin). This is no tae say that sel-nominators is necessar ony less qualifee'd nor "sponsored" nominations. Maist voters can be presumed tae conseeder aw nominees on their ain merits, an there's e'en a few that leuks wi speicial favour on sel-nominations as expressin a suitable independence. A guid solit backgrund is equally important for baith kynd o nomination. Obviously unqualifee'd nominations o aither kynd micht coud be removed athoot discussion.
