| Reliability of this data is important. As such, while a group effort to support this data is needed, the number of people who maintain the data needs to be limited to those individuals deemed capable and qualified to do so. Accepted applications for clerks are usually from people with an apparent strong interest in the maintenance of RfA and a significant history of such maintenance tasks.

Current requests
Please be as specific as you can regarding the information, chart, or graph you would like to have done for you.
- Possibly not under the remit here, but I would be interested in any way of capturing admin drop-out, or fall off in activity. We concentrate endlessly on the process of becoming an admin, but I've seen very little discussion of the large number of admins who cease to be very active. How long do they last? Are they the more, or less experienced ones on promotion? No idea what data are easily available, so not sure what to ask for specifically. Johnbod (talk) 03:27, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
Past requests and their results
- There is a current thread on WT:RFA about the total support vs. the total oppose votes cast on current RfAs. Can we graph the Support/Oppose vote ratio on all current RfAs over time? To see if there is a trend showing periods of high opposition levels. Perhaps excluding RfAs that are removed within 24 hours to eliminate a bias due to snowball RfAs.
