Admin Coaching

I think a valuable service would be to provide a clearinghouse where people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia culture could be matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. This would be something like the Welcoming Committee, but for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. Some might like suggestions about how to learn vandal patrol, or mentoring on taking an article to featured status, or guidance with a proposal they plan to make at the Village Pump, for example. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins.

  2. I'm also interested. As Karmafist says above "There are alot of unwritten rules out there." I would like to find out more about these, and find out if I've got what it takes to be a good admin. Petros471 09:40, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  7. I want to know ALL the little nitty-gritty details of Wikipedia and what makes a user become an administrator or even a bureaucrat. I would also love to know everything about Wikipedia. Although I have about 2,800 edits, I have been here for only about a month. I would be delighed if a very experienced user were to guide me to become an excellent editor of Wikipedia. Thanks. Siva1979Talk to me 19:03, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  8. There is a lot I want to figure out how to do, but I don't, and gradually I forget I ever wanted to do it. ςפקιДИτς 05:45, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  9. I have over 1,500 edits, but I'm really kinda confused with Wikipedia policies. I would be very happy if someone could help me out. Tvaughn05e (Talk)(Contribs) 11:57, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  12. Hi, I'd be really interested, as there seems to be a distinct lack of admins on the site, and so if we can get that number increased than they may well help (of course only if such admins are suitably trained vai such a programme of this nature!). --Wisden17 02:03, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  13. Me, too. I have questions now and then, and it'd be really helpful to have a designated person to ask. Thanks for putting this together. --Fang Aili 17:18, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
