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

In February of 2018 Editor Mathglot (talk · contribs · count · logs) received the Eddy Award for Civility and Helpfulness. It takes a concerted effort to remain calm and focused in discussions with editors that have article concerns; they feel they have been wronged and deserve their "Day in Court". Mathglot always maintains a constantly positive and congenial conversation while educating the usually new editor and, at the same time, giving attention to their concerns. One can only guess at how many editors his ability to create a dialogue has retained over his 85000 edits. Also, one of the veteran Wikipedians who program conditional templates.
