In particular, I do not believe the first point is needed at all; a user doesn't need to have acquired other rights before nominating themselves for adminship. Due to two reasons:

It may be preferable for a user to attain those rights beforehand, but it shouldn't be a requirement. If a user shows they are capable of handling admin rights they should be eligible for them. They don't have to climb a ladder and we shouldn't view user rights like a hierarchy.
 * First, when you have two rights like Content and Discussion moderation, you cannot just ignore them and move directly to adminship. You must go step by step, and make people see how you handle half of the admin rights
 * Second, most of the written advices are rather restrict and sometimes repeative and discouraging. Only the needed points for rights are still there, but you are free to undo what you see is right.

After review, I'm fine with the other changes, it's just that first point. That's okay. We can just say it is recommended that the user is familiar with the admin rights or one of its two halves (Content and Discussion moderation), or delete it at all.

But still, if you see I went wrong on something, you could just correct me on the page.
