"විකිපීඩියා:Guide to requests for adminship" හි සංශෝධන අතර වෙනස්කම්

Instead, it is an evaluation of their likely ability to appropriately use administrator rights.

Some users find the level of scrutiny and frankness very difficult. Some editors have left Wikipedia as a consequence of an RfA that has gone poorly. This should not happen, as this process does not judge an editor's value to Wikipedia. There are many fine editors who would not make good administrators.
