Hello, previously you have participated in the Wikipedia:Admin coaching project as a Coach. We are currently conducting the yearly commitment renewal to give coaches the opportunity to update their information and capacity to participate in the project. Please visit Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Status to update your status and move your entry to the Active list if you wish to continue as a Coach. Thank you. MBisanztalk 21:11, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Admin coaching request status
You have expressed interest in undergoing the Admin coaching program. However, after reviewing your edit history, I feel you may need more experience editing (i.e., >1,750 edits & 4 months of activity) on Wikipedia before you can know for certain you are ready to begin the process of becoming an administrator. My suggestion would be to seek adoption from a more experienced user who can help you experience all of the various components of editing an encyclopedia. If you decide adoption is not for you, there is also the editor review process that may help you find areas to improve upon in our editing. If you would like to talk more about this, please feel free to leave me a note at my talk page. MBisanztalk 21:01, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Admin coaching request update (Current)
You have previously expressed an interest in undergoing the Admin coaching program. We're currently engaged in a program reset to help things move more smoothly in the future. If you are still interested in the program, please go to Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Requests for Coaching and re-list yourself under Current requests, deleting your entry from Older requests. Also, double-check to make sure coaching is right for you at the Coachee checklist; WP:Adoption or WP:Editor review may be more appropriate depending on your situation and aspirations. We should get back to you within a day or so, once a coaching relationship has been identified. Thank you.
Admin coaching request update (Future)
You have previously expressed an interest in undergoing the Admin coaching program. Since then we have had coaching resources become available and would like to know if you are still interested in the program. Please go to Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Requests for Coaching and re-list yourself under Current requests, deleting your entry from Older requests if you are still interested. Also, double-check to make sure coaching is still right for you at the Coachee checklist; WP:Adoption or WP:Editor review may be more appropriate depending on your situation and aspirations. We should get back to you within a day or so, once a specific coaching relationship has been identified. Thank you. MBisanztalk 21:13, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Admin coaching match
Hello, I am pleased to inform you that you have been paired with Coach COACHNAME as an admin coachee. You now have two important tasks to complete:
1. Introduce yourself to COACHNAME and explain to them why you want to be an admin.
So you feel that admin coaching isn't right for you at this time. Maybe you feel that you need more experience. Maybe you are happy editing and don't want the responsibility of the extra tools. Maybe you have some skeletons in your closet and need time and experience to regain the community's trust. These are some things you can do that will help you build experience regardless of your eventual goal.
WP:ADOPTION – Process through which new users interact with and gain experience from more established users.
WP:ER – Process through which users receive feedback from other users on their editing style and community participation.
WP:XFD – Set of forums for discussion on whether or not specific content on Wikipedia should be retained.
WP:BACKLOG – List of editing tasks that can be done by any user, need to be done, but haven't been done.
WP:RA – List of articles other people think should be written, now write one!
WP:HD – Place to ask and answer questions about how to do something on Wikipedia.
WP:AFC – Assisting users without accounts to create articles.
