First of all, I know that I do not vote in many RFAs that I would support by these guidelines. If I see an RFA that is obviously going to fail or (more often applied) pass, or I don't have the time to verify these, I'll skip it unless I know the user. Basically, I have three criteria that I look for in an admin, and yes, I know it's not much:
Can the user be trusted to use the admin tools in good faith? (In other words, not do something like vandalize or unprotect the main page)
Does the user know Wikipedia policy well enough to not misuse admin tools? (This does not mean that they have to know every single policy and guideline by heart.) Note that this does NOT cover mistakes that could be made by a non-admin; granting the user adminship would have nothing to do with these mistakes.
Is the user at least reasonably civil? (In other words, they don't have to go out of their way to say friendly things at every possible chance, but I'd like to see that they don't have a record of violating no personal attacks.)
In borderline cases, the following are my secondary considerations ("extra credit" so to speak.) While they aren't really important themselves (and are by no means requirements to get my vote,) they may influence my vote in "borderline cases" and may influence my degree of support/opposition (strong support, weak support, etc.)
Senority. Being here for over a year is a good sign.
A high edit count. While I won't hesitate to vote for someone with only a few hundred edits if they fit my primary criteria, thousands certainly don't hurt and along with time spent here, they are a fair indication of general experience summed up in one number.
Article development. Helping put a few articles up to FA status is great.
Here is the Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar for warmly welcoming so many new users. Being nice and going an extra mile to be kind won't hurt at all! — Stevey7788 (talk) 23:45, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)I award you the plain barnstar for being a well rounded amazing wikipedian :) Redwolf24 02:47, 18 July 2005 (UTC)For randomly fixing my spelling of "neutral", I, Matt Yeager, hereby award you, Y0u, this kicking Minor Barnstar Award.

I don't have a registered username, nor do I have a huge amount of edits, but I love Wikipedia. Consider your guestbook signed. By a random number, but still. --69.145.122.209 00:06, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Why do admins have good pages? ;)--[[User:Gravity|Gravity[[|User talk:Gravity|Talk ]]]] 08:17, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
I came here out of nowhere. I am a new user, and you've inspired me to make a user page full of stuff. --Powerfulmind 02:34, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
Hey, this is an original idea to let everyone who visits your page sign it. It's a pretty good idea as well. I came across you because you were a person who is a theist. Backtable came here on July 1, 2007 at 8:24 PM Eastern Time.
woo! signing your page nilsæn style. Evaunit666 05:05, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Robertimus Marley was here today, yesterday, and now forever. Peaches unto you my brethren. -The next to last day of the year, 2007.
Check my first archive in my talk--Jan 08 et avant. You were the one who welcomed me. For a while, I wondered if you were the owner of Wikipedia, because site owners are always doing that sorta stuff. Hehehe. 21655 ωhατ δo γoυ ωαητ? 15:36, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
