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

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
[edit]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)
