Candidates must have the trust of the community.
They are commonly well-mannered, show good judgement, and ideally have a clean block log, or at least one that has been clean for over a year. Additionally, editors must remain non-biased when adding or deleting Wikipedia content.
Successful candidates usually have thousands of edits and plenty of experience, including in one or two areas where they are ready to use the administrator tools.
The minimum expectation for new administrators is that they will have added some reliably sourced content to English Wiki English. Although writing that meets good article or featured article standards is excellent, other forms of high-quality contributions can also demonstrate an understanding of the effort required to write mainspace articles in collaboration with others.
