Request a coach :: Coach status

Quicklinks    (edit)

Thank you for your interest in Wikipedia's admin coaching program. Hopefully you won't have to wait too long! We're in the process of re-organising at the moment and are starting a new system of requests.

Coaching page management

Requests are split into three sections - current requests, older or dormant requests, and matched requests.

New requests Are added to the current request list in date order, newest at the end. Coaches will contact people at or near the top of the list, to ensure older requests are attended sooner. Details of how to add a request and how to respond to one are given below.
Requests which seem inactive Either no match has been agreed despite several weeks of being posted, or because they are withdrawn by the requestor, or non-responsive or withdrawn, and where there is no sign of ongoing activity or interest, are moved periodically to the "older requests" section. This may be done once or twice a month by any editor.
Requests which are successfully matched Should be moved to the status. When the coaching effectively ends, please update that page to move the coachee from the Current student to Former student column. A coachee who does not edit for thirty (30) days without informing his coach of a longterm WP:Wikibreak, will be considered retired and moved to the Former student column. This is necessary given the limited number of coachee spots available and the desire to provide as much coaching contact to active users as is reasonable possible.
Requests which are temporarily dormant For example editor is offline or on holiday, please append a note to this effect (and expected return date) so that your request is not inadvertantly treated as dead or non-responsive.
Eg: 18. example (talk · contribs) Please help me. example 21:00, 1 May 2007 (UTC). Please keep alive back in 3 weeks (mid June). example 12:42, 3 May 2007.[reply]
Reactivated requests For example request was moved to older requests or was dropped, and editor now wishes to reactivate the request again, move to current requests and append a note to this effect.
Eg: 19. example (talk · contribs) Please help me. example 21:00, 1 May 2007 (UTC). Reactivated 3 June 2007, sorry, didn't see offer of coaching last time, had psychotic episode, now feeling ready again. Reactivated request. example 12:42, 17 June 2007.[reply]

Requestors: Adding a request

New requests should be entered in the following syntax to the bottom of the list:

  • #{{UserVP|USERNAME}} ''optional comment'' ~~~~

Coaches: Responding to a request

If you wish, you may contact a user at or near the top of the list. Leave a message under that person's name here, indicating you have contacted that person. If coaching commences, move that name to "matched requests" and append the details and current date, then update your status.

In general, to help others, please note if you contact a requestor (by appending "Contacted - ~~~~ to the line, for example). If there is no response after some time, then note this too, and consider whether the request looks ongoing, or whether to move it to older/inactive requests.

If a requestor is missing something off the basic checklist (for example, no edit summaries, or 95% of edits are of one type), then let them know on their talk page, mark the request as responded to with a note as to the comment, and move it to inactive requests for the time being.

Checklist before requesting coaching

Quick list of some "things to get right before requesting coaching" - these are basics that you should get right before seeking coaching, as they will provide useful experience:

  1. Set up an email account for yourself (see user preferences)
  2. Have at least 200 edits (via Special:Preferences) or have been referred here by another user. If you have fewer than 200 edits, you may wish to consider User Adoption.
  3. Ensure you are regularly using edit summaries (if you sometimes forget, there's a useful setting under 'preferences' to ensure you don't overlook this!)
  4. Understand, use as appropriate, and be consistently respectful of Wikipedia's basic policies, for example neutral point of view, original research, deletion policy, copyright issues, consensus, handling of vandalism, civil (if sometimes forthright) speech, and dispute handling. (You don't need to know every detail, it's not an exam, but you'll need to have gained a pretty good sense of policy awareness.)
  5. Involve yourself with multiple 'areas' of Wikipedia, not just one narrow focus. Wikipedia is both an encyclopedia and a community. (Basic principle: 5000 anti-vandal edits and nothing else won't prove much about policy awareness, or other topics where as an admin you'll need to show competence.) You don't have to do everything, but you should aim to show some breadth of experience. Ideas for typical areas include: writing and improving articles, helping new users, involvement on community or project pages, helping with policy or projects, assisting sorting out disputes, providing opinions, adding photographs for articles, and patrolling common pages such as recent changes or AFD (including with bots, if allowed).
  6. If you have a track record of issues yourself (for example 3RR violations, or conduct RFCs), look at it, and try to put it right. (Adminship has a high standard and a demanding and searching inquiry; past problems may need considerable evidence and time with no problems to show that they are firmly and permanently in the past.)

If you aren't doing the basics above, then the first comment of any coach will probably be to advise you to get into doing so! If you already are, or you want help on this aspect as well, then ask!

Coaching requests

Current requests

New requests should be entered in the following syntax to the bottom of the Current list:

  • #{{UserVP|USERNAME}} ''optional comment'' ~~~~

Requests older than around 6 weeks without indication of current interest, may be moved to "older requests" by any editor. If you are still interested, please append to your request a note that the request is still active and the current date, and move it back to this section in date order.

Please read the basic checklist (above) first, and then if you'd benefit from coaching, add new requests to the end of this section. Older requests - we need to know if you are still interested. If you are, copy/paste --''still interested as of ~~~~~'' after your name.

If a someone has proposed a pairing, they will add "(match pending)" in front of your request while it is being confirmed.


  1. (match pending)Gary King (talk · contribs · count · block log) I'd like to be an administrator someday. I usually hang out in {{WP:CATP}} and {{WP:UNCAT}} and fight vandalism whenever I see it among those articles, which is fairly common considering most uncategorized articles are also new ones. I have added categories to over 5,000 articles and counting. I also help out to build articles into Featured Articles, and focus mainly in the Economics WikiProject and Computer Science projects. Gary King (talk) 07:27, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  2. (match pending)Cuyler91093 (talk · contribs · count · block log) I would like to be an administrator in the future, and I plan to better Wikipedia. However, I am not familiar with some of the policies and with some of the admin features. I am going to take a Wikibreak to focus on education and real life, but I hope you decide to coach me. I will check my account at least three times a day, although I won't be editing as much. Happy editing! Cuyler91093 (Contribs) 07:50, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  3. (match pending)DOSGuy (talk · contribs · count · block log) I have been copyediting and reverting vandalism for a couple of years. When I have expressed myself in matters of policy, it has often been suggested that I should consider being an admin, which I believe myself to be unqualified for. If my contributions would be valued, I'm willing to learn. DOSGuy (talk) 07:52, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  4. (match pending)Robwingfield (talk · contribs · count · block log) I've been editing WP for three years now. As well as creating and editing articles, I've been taking an increasing interest in the community aspect, such as patrolling RC, getting involved in AfD, and involvement in WikiProjects. I'd like some coaching to broaden my knowledge of the different areas of WP so that I can be more effective as a user, and potentially progress onto adminship if suitable. robwingfield «TC» 08:21, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  5. (match pending)Arichnad (talk · contribs · count · block log) I was recently asked if I would accept an admin nomination. I declined the request (for six months) because I knew that I'd probably fail an RFA. From this experience, though, I've come to the conclusion that other people think I might make a good admin. I'm here so I can mature my editing abilities. My hopes are to become well rounded and better understand the RFA process. ~a (usertalkcontribs) 20:55, 14 January 2008 (UTC) --still interested as of ~a (usertalkcontribs) 08:44, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  7. Jcrook1987 (talk · contribs · count · block log) I am a long time user, but my edits are mainly confined to doing vandalism reverts and copyediting now and then. I would like help familiarising myself with the range of areas on Wikipedia and how admin tools can be used to the advantage of wikipedia and the community. (Still interested 25/02/08).

  8. Fritzpoll (talk · contribs · count · block log) have experience editing articles, and work at WP:GAN, and have recently been getting into recent changes patrolling. Could use some coaching to improve for the benefit of the community. Fritzpoll (talk) 22:29, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Matched requests

Matched requests should be entered directly to the Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Status page by either the coachee or coach when first contact is established.

Older requests

  1. Bože pravde (talk · contribs · count · block log) Being an admin is something I considered a long time ago, but gave the idea up because I thought that I could contribute more by just writing and editing articles. Now I realize that being an admin would not prevent me from doing that, but make things easier and more helpful. GOD OF JUSTICE 21:33, 23 February 2007 (UTC)Still interested as of GOD OF JUSTICE 01:32, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Valadius (talk · contribs · count · block log) I've been active for quite a long time, especially in creating/maintaining/upgrading articles regarding American politics. I have made over 3,000 edits. I wish to broaden my understanding of all that Wikipedia offers, and I think I would make a decent admin. Valadius 03:11, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Sjones23 (talk · contribs · count · block log) I've been active since December 2006, especially in working on Japanese seiyu. I have made many edits. I want some help in becoming an administrator (That would help me become a better contributor and allow for greater understanding and usage of policies, guidelines and essays). Thanks. Greg Jones II 13:38, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  4. rankun (talk · contribs · count · block log) im horrifically interested in becoming an amin, im tired of the bad rap wiki gets and i wanna help change it Rankun 17:59, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  5. holmes.sherlock (talk · contribs · count · block log) I am interested of becoming ann admin as I want to hhelp wikipedia. I now writes for the wikipedia signpost, and wish to become an admin in the future, so, I take this course. 02:18, August 21, 2007 (UTC)
  6. Vox Humana 8' (talk · contribs · count · block log) I am interested in becoming an admin eventually. I have already had some guidance from an admin through MSN Messenger, but would like proper coaching. I have been using both this account and User:Voxpuppet (the latter in a parallel second browser, as Firefox doesn't like Twinkle) to fight vandalism using the Recent Changes log and Twinkle with all add-ons and have been contributing slowly but surely. However, the Wikipedia Community is unlikely to have much faith in me, as I have in the past made myself a pain in the proverbial for some of them: I would like to put all that behind me and make myself an invaluable contributor in my own right. Vox Humana 8' 19:09, 21 August 2007 (UTC)--still interested as of 13th January 2008[reply]
  7. Danielfolsom (talk · contribs · count · block log) While most of this info can be found on my userpage - I'll say some here. My biggest contributions probably come in the areas of speedy deletions (I go to the category and try and clean up what I can),minor edits to articles, vandal fighting (more-so in my earlier contribs but still some now), template space,and I'll chip in on talk pages a bit also. I think my weakest areas that I'm looking to improve are AfD voting - I used to be more involved with this but I essentially moved to different tasks, I'd like to come back to it, and dispute resolution - while I can sometimes resolve a dispute by participating in it and trying to reach compromise - I am not the best at this, and sometimes I let things go to extremes. danielfolsom 03:25, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  8. KBW1 (talk · contribs · count · block log)-- I want to someday, (prefer near future), become an administrator. I do, however, need some coaching. Thanks! -- KBW1 01:22, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  9. Desalvionjr (talk · contribs · count · block log) I want to learn more about wikipedia, I already know alot but I wish to know more. I dream of being a sysop one day to help the wikipedia grow but for now taking on adminlike duties is as close as I can get, I really want to help wikipedia and I think this will help me learn how to do it more than I am now!

  10. Kerotan (talk · contribs · count · block log) I am interested in becoming a sysop, because there are many cases where I see a area of Wikipeida (such as a vandal running riot) a wish that I had the tools to deal with them then and there. i am here to see if i will be actually any good at the job.KerotanLeave Me a Message Have a nice day :) 14:28, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  12. Wiki Raja (talk · contribs · count · block log) I have been editing Wikipedia since almost a year now and contributing to numerous articles specifically on South Asia with over 5000 mainspace edits. Furthermore, I have created a WikiProject group called Dravidian civlizations to help improve articles in this area of interest amongst other WikiProjects I plan to start in the future. My goal is to learn more about Wikipedia to improve its contents and in assisting new users. There are sections of Wikipedia which do need improvement and with proper training I can achieve these goals for the Wikipedia community. Wiki Raja 06:58, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  17. Mr.crabby (talk · contribs · count · block log) I joined Wikipedia last December only intending to fix up some articles in the Durham Public School System, since then I got addicted and have done things including making and applying templates, adding coordinates, uploading pictures, reverting vandalism, creating new articles, etc. A few days ago I saved my 1000th edit, and now would like an admin to help me take my Wiki skills to the next level, so I can help this foundation even more. --Mr.crabby (Talk) 01:45, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  19. Jaakobou (talk · contribs · count · block log) i've been involved a bit too much with "murky water" articles but i believe my standards for replying and dealing with issues have developed immensly. on the black list: i'm thinking that currently there's a list of users who'd go crazy if they hear i want to be an admin, and also i got a small incident or two that don't look great on my logs (albeit i'm contacting someone to discuss this). on the up side: i could help resolve disputes here and there and help out with admin related activity - i'm this will help me learn some of the process and develop me as a better contributor and perhaps even an admin if things go well. p.s. it would be best to email me so not to arouse the fury of the people who are watching my page.

  35. jonny-mt (talk · contribs · count · block log) I've been a registered user for about a year and a half now, but it's only been over the past month or so that I really realized what this place is all about. I've been very active in patrolling new pages and users, both in the sense of reverting vandalism, requesting AIV and AIVU, and marking pages for speedy deletion, but also in welcoming new users and giving new stubs their first pushes towards articlehood. These experiences, as well as my own contributions to articles, have really helped me to understand the policies behind this place, and I make a point of reaching out to new editors whose potentially valid articles I have tagged as CSD to help them understand how to contribute in a manner more consistent with these policies. That being said, I would like to get more into the nitty-gritty, particularly policy creation/editing and conflict resolution before I consider standing for adminship. --jonny-mt(t)(c) 05:31, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  36. Mitchazenia (talk · contribs · count · block log) - I've been wanting to be an admin, since I've been able to prove that I can grow up and not be uncivilized.

  37. Michaelbusch (talk · contribs · count · block log) I filed an RfA last week, but various editors have expressed concerns about my understanding of the speedy deletion criteria, and deletion more generally. If I read the explanations of votes properly, half the editors who have voted approve giving me Adminship, roughly 35% would perhaps be willing to give me Adminship if I demonstrated better understanding of deletion and handling vandals, and the other 15% seem opposed to me for other reasons. Therefore, I'd appreciate it if someone would be willing to monitor my anti-vandal editing over the next few months, to judge if I should apply again. Thanks.

  41. StephenBuxton (talk · contribs · count · block log) I would like to become an administrator one day. I am already committed to reverting and reporting vandals, and would like to learn more about other areas of Wikipedia so that I may be a useful administrator, or failing that, a good Wikipedian. StephenBuxton (talk) 14:28, 4 January 2008 (UTC) Still interested - I've started doing more than just reverts - welcoming new users, adding guidance to users where appropriate. I've set myself a challenge of getting a serial OR editor who otherwise appears to be a genuine editor back on the straight-and-narrow. I noticed that pretty much every edit that he made this month has had to be reverted - I want that to change! (Hopefully, he will accept my help). Long story short... I want to be a good Wikipedian/Administrator! StephenBuxton (talk) 17:35, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  45. Urban Rose (talk · contribs · count · block log) I've been an active vandal fighter for about two months now and am interested in becoming an administrator, but I know that I need a wider range of contribs than just vandal fighting before I'll be ready. Therefore, I would appreciate it if someone would invest some time in coaching me in the other areas that I should be active in if I want to seriously consider becoming an admin.
