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]If you are looking for a list of Cinematographers with vast references for each, go to Rusted AutoParts (talk · contribs · count · logs) home page. How about the last NHL game played by a hockey player? Same place. Various lists, by year and month, following Notability in the English Wikipedia, of the deaths of notable people that have occurred from the last decade to the present? Same. This editor has worked diligently since joining Wikipedia in 2006 by selecting a mixture of diverse subject matter. With over 130000 edits and almost 80% to mainspace he exemplifies a long term career commitment to a project he obviously enjoys! Buster Seven Talk (UTC) 17:07, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
Nomination
[edit]Mindmatrix (talk · contribs · count · logs) is a self described audidactic meaning he is self-taught. With a steady edit history since 2005, he has created 648 pages basically focussed on his effort to improve Canada related info. The article Canadian Dental Care Plan is a good example. Additional work on many science, technology and cultural articles is also prevalent. With over 189000 edits and a whopping 80% to mainspace, his two decade-long career is praiseworthy.
