Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Nominations

This is the place to nominate someone for Editor of the Week recognition: an unsung hero who has been doing great work. To nominate an editor, add a new section to this page with a 100–200 word description of how they meet the criteria for Editor of the Week. Please be specific in describing the tasks and behaviors you are recognizing, so nominees can fully appreciate the positive effects being acknowledged. Please do not use the editor's name in the section heading, link to the editor's user page, or otherwise ping the editor.

Be advised that there may be a considerable "lag time" between your nomination and the actual awarding to the editor.

Please do not link to the nominee's user or talk page in the same edit as you add your signature!
Echo will inform them of their nomination and spoil the surprise. Also, please do not include the editor's name in the section heading because it will appear in watchlist notices.

Just type their name using plain text, or use {{noping}}, and we will replace it with {{User10}} in a way that does not notify the nominee.

Criteria for Editor of the Week

Sample nomination text:

I nominate Easter Bunny for his persistent efforts in tidying up articles. Often editors will hurriedly introduce new information to an article, without placing a full citation, or with spelling and grammatical errors. Over the past four months, Easter Bunny has been fixing the edits of others, doing the tedious work of completing the citation information, copy editing the prose to resolve errors and to align it with Wikipedia's Manual of Style, and fixing links to other articles. Here are some examples: [1] [2] In addition, Easter Bunny has a great positive attitude in discussions with other editors: he always finds the most promising aspects of the comments of others, and follows up on them in trying to build a genuine consensus. Without willing editors to perform cleanup tasks, Wikipedia could not sustain its level of participation from one-time editors who just want to get in and out with their edits as soon as possible. Easter Bunny is a great example of a Wikipedia editor who improves the community through his excellent work! Example (talk) 03:58, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Nomination

I may be biased but I nominate Riley1012 (talk · contribs · count · logs) to be Editor of the Week for her amazing work on articles related to artistic gymnastics! Some of her works include 16 GAs and 32 DYKs; with articles relating to Olympic champions in the sport such as Rebeca Andrade, Nina Derwael, Aly Raisman, and so much more! She's also a joy to talk to, I remember her checking up on me after Carlos Yulo (which we co-nominated as a GA) won an Olympic gold! Her work towards the sport, her longevity on the site, and her works to Women in Red are all amazing, and thus she must be recognized! Arconning (talk) 13:26, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination... 2!

Over the last few months, I've been seeing the name Rollinginhisgrave (talk · contribs · count · logs) pop up more and more around good article–related processes. I first met them a couple of months ago when they reviewed my nominee and was struck both by the quality of their comments and the pace at which they came. As it turns out, they've done the same for over 60 other articles in just the past three months! They also have a couple of GAs to their name — History of chocolate and Chocolate in savory cooking — with even more sweet things in the oven (so to speak), as evidenced by their user page. Though they've only been active for a few months, I hope you'll join me in recognizing all of the good work they've already managed to accomplish. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 04:15, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
