[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Requests for adminship|Wikipedia]] does allow self-nominations. --[[User:A_morris|a_morris]] <small>([[User_talk:A_morris|talk]])</small> 22:21, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

::Wikipedia is a good jumping off point, but they have millions of articles and thousands of regular contributors, versus our 5000 articles and few dozen regular contributors. That said, I'm not really in favor of or opposed to self nominations, but say that if self nominations are allowed, that at least one other user who meets the minimum criteria to nominate a user (as detailed on the actual requests page) be required to show support for a user who self-nominates within a certain time from when a user posts their nomination.
 
::Also, I don't like to be restrictive, but since we're dealing with a situation where only one request can be evaluated at a time, I say that if a bureaucrat candidate fails to achieve a consensus necessary to receive a position, that there be some sort of waiting time before they're allowed to apply or be nominated again, to allow other candidates the chance to be nominated and vetted.
 
::Finally, and this is no disrespect to Danny (Monster), but I'd ask that his RfB be disregarded since TSW isn't currently open to new requests, and we haven't formalized or finalized the RfB and Bureaucrat selection process. -- [[User:LostInRiverview|Patrick (LostInRiverview)]]<small> ([[User_talk:LostInRiverview|talk]])([[User_blog:LostInRiverview|blog]])([[Special:Random|random page]])</small> 22:35, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
