Administrators edit
Roughly 40 million people have created accounts for English Wikipedia. There are currently 1,086 Administrators. The application rules say at least 500 edits and 30 days, but that is not realistic. Applicants typically have many years of experience, thousands of edits, participated in all aspects of management (article creation, improvement, deletion), and then apply.

- Teahouse content is not deleted. It is periodically archived, but all of that is available to all people. In contrast, individuals have Talk pages, and they are within their rights to delete content from their own Talk pages. However, even that can be found by looking at a person's past Contributions.

I just saw your account, you are editing wikipedia from past 15 years, thats really amazing. i want to ask that why you are not a administrator here, because i feel you are really good at what you are doing and you have already fulfilled all unsung requirements to become one Indianman1 (talk) 18:04, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
- i have no desire to be an Administrator. My intentions are to improve science articles in my fields of expertise, and to help people at Teahouse. David notMD (talk) 18:06, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
Some personal Notes (don't remove anything, you can add if you want) edit
Welcome to Wikipedia. You can see some of the things at WP:RfA. In short, it requires a lot of Wikipedia experience, demonstration that you understand Wikipedia policies, and demonstration that you need to admin toolset to perform the tasks you want to perform. You should view adminship and being a janitor, and beware of WP:Hat collecting 99% of things on Wikipedia do not require being an admin. RudolfRed (talk) 17:43, 2 August 2021 (UTC) @Indianman1 You can start here Wikipedia:Administrators#Becoming_an_administrator and continue with pages linked from there. At Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship#About_RfA, in the candidates column, you have links to recent "admin-runs" and there you can get a sense of what is expected.

Reverts edit
You are within your rights to revert what I did. Provide a brief explanation in the Edit summary. I have no intention of editing the article again. David notMD (talk) 18:41, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
