	::'''A'''. I have. Generally, promotion is based on a contributor's demeanor, edit quality, neutrality and length of time contributing. In looking over our current admin field, two were given the privilege by executive decision (~~Peter Farago~~, and myself), while all others have demonstrated their qualifications by the RFA process. Battlestar Wikipedians also note exemplary abilities as a criteria, but generally, being a well-rounded "nice guy" that edits well, knows and adheres to policy while helping others do so nicely can make for a good administrator, eventually. In rare instances, off-wiki behavior may be a factor in a successful nomination (Lords know I don't want to be part of something like that if possible).<br />		::'''A'''. I have.

	::'''A'''. The good news for an RfA nominee is that they can be nominated later if they are initially unsuccessful. RfAs are not for bashing anyone, nominee, nominator, or contributors. As a bureaucrat, I would take my time to parse through the supporting and opposing comments, even extending the nomination time if necessary to ensure that the contributor has a fair shot (for instance, if too few qualifying votes are submitted).<br />		::'''A'''.
