User:Pedro/RFA Standards

This is a wiki. Feel free to tinker with them, but preferably add comments on the discussion page. Please note these are my standards that I should try to uphold.

RFA Standards

• I believe that RfA is a discussion. Therefore I will always try to add value to the discussion rather than just a support or oppose. This is particularly important in the event of an oppose.
• I promise to look over the last 2,000 contributions, randomly checking the details; I will sample edits from various areas such as article writing, user talk, and contributions to project space.
• I promise to review the candidate's talk and user pages.
• If I have had previous interaction with an editor that has been positive then I will allow this to weigh heavily in support.
• If I have had previous interaction with an editor that has not been positive then I will try not to allow this to weigh heavily in oppose.
• If I find something troublesome in the contribution history, I consider it my duty to bring this to the attention of the community, even if I still support or go neutral.
• I promise to try to be fair, but I am human so will make mistakes.
• Never say Never. In almost all cases an oppose does not mean I will never support a candidate in the future.
