I participate in several RfA's. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is a request to become an administrator on Wikipedia. I enjoy doing this, especially after I have nominated myself once before (with 150 edits...LOL) and when it became apparent that you can't become an admin at that point in time, I started participating in RfA's more often.

My rubric is composed of eight categories:
