User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/Tips for being a great admin/@comment-4668895-20121026005004/@comment-166269-20121026072442

Kangaroopower: that's how I try to conduct myself as an admin as well. Interestingly (and amusingly) enough, though, I've actually had the reverse experience: back when I contributed to Wikipedia, another editor eventually took note of me and nominated me for adminship. During the course of my RfA, one editor commented that they'd actually thought I was already an admin (needless to say, with support like that, I passed my RfA with flying colors =) )! That was a strange feeling, to say the least. =D
