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)
Gerda
editTrue to her kind ways, Gerda has repeatedly declined nomination for this award, no matter how much we all think she deserves it!

I nominate Gerda Arendt to be Editor of the Week for two reasons. First of all, she is a dedicated content creator, particularly in the realm of classical music. I don't know whether she has kept an exact count of created articles and DYKs, but let's just say there's a lot of both. My second reason is that Gerda contributes a great deal of the kindness to the community through her ongoing efforts to encourage and recognize her fellow editors. Her long-term campaign of charity is detailed at Wikipedia:Precious. Thank you, Gerda! Lepricavark (talk) 16:09, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

editI nominate Daniel Case to be Editor of the Week for their tireless efforts to protect Wikipedia. According to Xtools, they've protected almost 2,500 pages over the past year, which is nearly 50% more the person with the second most (not counting JPxG who added protection to thousands of old signpost pages)! In addition to being the most active participant by far at requests for page protection, they've also handed out over 21.5 THOUSAND blocks. They've been an admin for over 17 years now and haven't gone a single month without editing, something very few others have been able to do. Their contributions to the site and their passion for protecting it should not go unrecognized, because they are very much appreciated and make the site a better place.

Nomination
editI nominate SD0001 to be Editor of the Week for their technical work. They run SDZeroBot, a bot which allow editors to generate their own database reports based on specified SQL queries, which also generates some of our most useful reports, such as NPP sorting, AfC sorting, draftify watch, and much, much more. In addition to their efforts as a bot operator, they've also been a member of the Bot Approvals Group since late 2020, where they spend time reviewing and processing requests at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval. They've also spend time on creating a number of useful scripts that are widely used by the community. Fortunately for all of us, they don't there, SD0001 has also made significant contributions elsewhere, such as to existing gadgets, including Twinkle and the Articles for Creation Helper Script, as well as having made contributions to core MediaWiki. I cannot say enough about how much I appreciate their contributions and recognition for all they've done is the least that we can do. Hey man im josh (talk) 20:11, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support of course. They gave me a lot of code reviews in the Twinkle repo, motivating me to continue and eventually become a Twinkle maintainer. Code reviews aren't always very exciting so I appreciate it! –Novem Linguae (talk) 21:52, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support Just the {{Database report}} template would be enough for me to support this. Most people just want to run some queries regularly, and not maintain a whole toolforge tool. This bot task does that quite elegantly. Many thanks for your work on this and the bot's other tasks. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:23, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
