RFA reform
Efforts to reform Requests for Adminship spark animated discussion
In the last two weeks, several discussions and experiments to reform the requests for adminship process have occurred. In the standard RFA process, users discuss a candidacy by commenting in three separate sections: "Support", "Oppose", and "Neutral." Bureaucrats usually promote candidates with more than 80% support and reject candidates with less than 75% support. Many users have objected to this format because it resembles a vote, and Wikipedia is not a democracy.
