Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Accepted nominations

This is the queue of accepted nominations. Clerks will add new accepted nominations at the bottom. The next Editor of the Week is taken from the top of the list.

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.

Eddybanners will be created by clerks following the criteria below and distributed during the Editor's week:

Enter the date of the award in the box below in the form YYYY-MM-DD (e.g. 2009-12-31)
If you are just starting the page:
- Place the editor's username in the first wikilink
Otherwise:
- Remove the first and last lines and fill in the infobox
Add the date to the bottom of the Hall of Fame by removing "if exist"
Change the date at the bottom of Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/header to the current Sunday award date
Update Template:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Project main page with the award date to show the latest banner

Note: Nominations that have been placed on hold can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Accepted nominations/Hold.

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 the number of editors that have been retained by his ability to create a friendly, forwarding dialogue (over his 85000 edits). Also, he is one of the veteran Wikipedians who program conditional templates. Buster Seven Talk (UTC) 14:12, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

+1 They were instrumental in the rewrite of Help:Your first article. Very deserving! House Blaster (talk • he/they) 15:49, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I nominate Cukie Gherkin (talk · contribs · count · logs) to be Editor of the Week for their incredible contributions to our coverage of video game characters. With over 17,500 edits (45% to mainspace) they have created so many articles and nominated so many GAs that I have given up on counting. Many of these articles are on well-known characters or games, getting decent numbers of pageviews. Our coverage on video games and their characters would be noticeably lacking without Cukie's diligence. A busy member of WikiProject Video games and WikiProject Anime and manga.

Over the last few months, I've seen GreenLipstickLesbian (talk · contribs · count · logs) handing out sage advice related to copyright on Wikipedia both on-wiki and over Wikimedia Discord servers — this post being but one example of it. I commend her commitment to and patience in sharing with her fellow editors a glimpse into a process that, while relatively foreign to most editors and thus perpetually understaffed, is vital in helping keep this project alive. She also walks the talk: she has reviewed nearly a thousand cases over on CopyPatrol and puts in her fair share of time at contributor copyright investigations. She's no stranger to content work either: she's nominated three DYKs and ostensibly has more evil plans in the making! ;) And while I may be biased in this regard as a coordinator, I loved the recap she wrote for the recently-concluded 2024 Developing Countries WikiContest, which was adapted shortly after into this Signpost article. I hope you'll join me in appreciating the hard work — which often goes unappreciated — that this editor does. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 17:25, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
