Just pointing out that according to [[WP:CU]] Checkusers are not required to be administrators. If this has changed that (and other pages) need to be updated. If not, I'm wondering why the announcement is worded to imply they must be administrators.

:Checkusers don't technically have to be administrators (I think French Wikipedia has one), but for them to be selected, they must be elected through an RFA-like process. Since here, the ArbCom appoints functionaries, the WMF restricts us from appointing anyone who has not passed such a process. [[User:Courcelles|Courcelles]] 23:19, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
