== Places where administrators in particular can assist ==
Administrator rights can be particularly helpful in certain areas of Wikipedia:
* [[:Category:Administrative backlog|Administrative backlogs]]
* [[Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism|Anti-vandalism]]
* [[Wikipedia:Copyright problems|Copyright problems]] ([[Wikipedia:Copyright problems/Advice for admins|advice for admins]])
* [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents|Incidents for admin attention]]
* [[Main Page]] sections, such as [[Template:In the news|In the news]] or [[Template:Did you know|Did you know]]
* [[Wikipedia:Recent changes patrol|Recent changes patrol]]
* [[:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion requests]]
* [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RR|Three-revert rule and edit warring violations]]

See also [[Wikipedia:Admins willing to make difficult blocks]] and [[Wikipedia:IRC##wikipedia-en-admins|the administrators channel on IRC]] for IRC users.

"Uninvolved administrators" can also help in the management of [[WP:ARBCOM|Arbitration Committee]] remedies and the [[WP:DR|dispute resolution]] concerning disruptive areas and situations. Administrators acting in this role are ''neutral''; they do not have any direct involvement in the issues they are helping people with. Lists of sanctions that are to be enforced by neutral administrators can be found at [[Wikipedia:General sanctions]] and [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Active sanctions]] (see also requests for enforcement at [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement]]).
