Thanks for writing this

It might be helpful to talk a little bit about how reaching different levels can impact an individual's standing outside of English Wikipedia (i.e. on the "global" or "meta" stage). Some of the groups you mention will routinely work with people on other projects and develop a more global reputation (stewards and global admins/renamers are obvious, but also checkusers who work on the CU mailing list and often work with CUs from other projects, arbitrators and former arbitrators who are often "head-hunted" for global committees, etc.) Might also be useful to talk about leaders of user groups and chapters, as well as some wiki-projects with more formal leadership practices, and their impact. (Examples here - the folks leading the FA and GA processes; at one point when she was the leader of the FA process, SandyGeorgia (talk · contribs) was the most interconnected person on English Wikipedia.)

Just a few thoughts when you're thinking of expanding this. Risker (talk) 04:13, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
