| Editor of the Week for the week beginning November 17, 2024 |
A valued user that pops up more and more around good article–related processes. The nominator first met them when they reviewed a nominee and was struck by the quality of their comments and the pace at which they came. As it turns out, Rolling had done the same for over 60 other articles in just the past four 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. Although they have only been active for a few months, they deserve to be recognized for the good work they have accomplished.

Editor of the Week
Editor of the Week is a recognition award for unsung heroes: editors who do excellent work in improving Wikipedia while typically going unnoticed. A recipient of Editor of the Week ideally has one or more of the following characteristics:
- Writes or significantly expands articles on a regular basis.
- Cleans up articles by, for example, adding sources, expanding citations with the necessary information, aligning prose with the manual of style, or improving the quality of the prose through copy-editing (such as making the text more concise and removing redundant wording).
- Serves as notable voice of reason in discussions with other editors.
- Performs behind-the-scenes work, not normally seen by the general community.
While there are many well-known editors who meet these criteria, the intent is to recognize someone less celebrated yet deserving of greater renown. As admins typically have already been recognized for their work, please limit your nominations to non-admins.
The way one editor sees it, the Editor of the Week award more or less recognizes a single, discrete, instance (or maybe more than one) when someone did something in the realm of article writing (which in theory is what this place is supposed to be about) that was appreciated by someone else.
Process
To nominate an editor for Editor of the Week, add your nomination to the nominations page. It should be around 100–200 words, describing why the editor should be recognized, including specific tasks and behaviours that are beneficial to the encyclopedia and the community. If accepted, your nomination will be posted to the recipient's talk page, so make it a good one—recipients appreciate knowing the precise actions that you are recognizing!
Once nominated, the clerks for the Editor of the Week program will discuss the nomination, and reach a consensus on whether or not it is accepted. All accepted nominations are placed in a queue for the Editor of the Week. On Sunday evening, a clerk will present the Editor of the Week award to the editor at the top of the queue. On Tuesday of the week following an "Eddybox" (the current eddybox for this week can be seen on the right) is also added to the recipients page.
Additional guidelines
An editor can be recognized as Editor of the Week no more than once in a 12-month period.
Administrators, while deserving, are not eligible to receive the Editor of the Week award.
When discussing a nomination to reach a consensus on its acceptance, please focus on the editor's praiseworthy characteristics and word any concerns as positively and constructively as possible. It isn't necessary for a nominee to be a perfect editor—the Editor of the Week initiative is designed to spotlight the specific beneficial behaviours and actions described in the nomination.

Administrative procedures
Processing nominations
- Discuss the nomination on the nominations talk page if necessary.
- After at least a two week period for response and seconding, remove the nomination from the nominations page.
- Place the newly accepted nomination at the bottom of the queue of accepted nominations.
- Start an initial draft of the infobox for the newly accepted nomination at Template:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Project main page/sandbox.
Announcing recipients
- Remove the nomination at the top of the queue of accepted nominations and add the recipient to the bottom of the table above.
- Update Template:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Project main page with a new infobox for the current Editor of the Week. The infoboxes are created and stored at Template:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Project main page/sandbox. Transfer the information from the sandbox to the main page. This will display the weekly changing infobox at both the Project main page and the Editor of the Week main page.
- Update Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Hall of Fame with the latest version of Template:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Project main page. The current method of updating the Hall of Fame page involves copying the current EotW infobox to a newly created archive page. The current archive pages can be found at Template:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Project main page; the next one in sequential order should be created and used for the Hall of Fame ( on Monday) and for adding to the recipients talk page (on Tuesday).
- Update the recipient's talk page:
- Add the Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Recipient notification to the recipient's talk page. Use the subst: syntax as specified on the template page. Note any diffs in the nomination text must be modified; see the template documentation for details.
- On Tuesday, add the Template:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Project main page template to the recipient's talk page. Use the subst: syntax for the sequential archive as specified on the template page.
