Past candidates

I've been nominating (mostly co-nomating to be truthful) editors for the administrative buttons for quite some time now, originally starting back in April 2007 with Brylcreem2 (talk · contribs) (who now appears to have departed) and then taking a long break before starting up again November/December of the same year with Rigadoun (talk · contribs). I've not stopped, really, since that point and I am continually finding new talent that is perfect material for an administrator candidate. I've now nominated 11 users to RFA, 8 successful and 3 unsuccessful. I sometimes complete administrator coaching with the user prior to the transclusion of the RFA, but this is ultimately left to the decision of the user in question. I have had two other user who I have wished to nominate at RFA, but they either received other nominations or it was during my short retirement period, and so I was unable to write up a nomination, those being: Dlohcierekim (talk · contribs) and Ultraexactzz (talk · contribs). Other users that I have discussed nominations with, are:

  1. Cirt (talk · contribs)
  2. JetLover (talk · contribs)
  3. Rodw (talk · contribs)
  4. Phoebe (talk · contribs)
  5. Doczilla (talk · contribs) (now an administrator)
