Please do not link to the nominee's user or talk page in the same edit as you add your signature!
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.

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

This is the nominations talk page. To nominate someone for Editor of the Week, visit the Editor of the Week nominations page. This page hosts discussions about the nominated editor while a minimal vetting process takes place. Please review the Editor of the Week criteria and additional guidelines before commenting. Every attempt is made to vett and to move the nominations along ASAP, but it should be noted that the only stable queue is when the nomination has been moved to the accepted page.

A Self-nomination[edit]

I nominate Q28 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, Q28 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. In addition, Q28 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. Q28 is a great example of a Wikipedia editor who improves the community through his excellent work! --Q 𝟤 𝟪 06:14, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to self-nominate... –Novem Linguae (talk) 07:53, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if this column allows self-mention.@Novem Linguae Q 𝟤 𝟪 15:01, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. Looks like you've self-nominated yourself here before. Diff. I do not think it is a good idea to keep nominating yourself for this. –Novem Linguae (talk) 17:30, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately oppose because it is a self-nomination. ––FormalDude (talk) 14:44, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'd oppose too. Since q28 knows they have been nominated, that also goes against the spirit of EotW since it's supposed to be a surprise. KoA (talk) 17:19, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The value of the Editor of the Week recognition is that you've been recognized by other editors for your good work. If you want to write your own summary of accomplishments, you can just put it on your user page yourself (something that is commonly done). isaacl (talk) 18:13, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A double Eddy[edit]

I nominate Kazamzam to be Editor of the Week for their dedicated, long-term efforts to improve the encyclopedia. They joined the project in 2021, and have over 13,000 mainspace edits to their name. They have expanded and improved countless stubs, besides reverting vandalism and writing articles on a variety of topics. They have also done much work for WikiProject Unreferenced articles, steadily chipping away at the large backlog categories. 🌺 Cremastra (talk) 20:54, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cremastra, it's great that you nominate Kazamzam. However, I think Kazamzam was awarded EotW on January 29, 2023, so we still need a bit of time before the 12-month-period ends? Cheers, --The Lonely Pather (talk) 16:58, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Thank you Lone Pather for catching that. You may be alone on your path, but you are obviously paying attention to the scenery.> Buster Seven Talk (UTC) 17:53, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, thanks for catching that. 🌺 Cremastra (talk) 20:50, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

12-month-period. Meaning that folks can be renominated after 12 months? Browsing the archives, I never noticed any "double awards", but maybe I wasn't paying attention. –Novem Linguae (talk) 21:21, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can remember there have been two doubles....Editors Mog the Mild and EpicGenius. Maybe one more? But none within a 12 month period. Not a rule...just hasn't happened yet and with a long queue I don't think it should. BTW, I'm moving this to the nomination talk page. TY. Buster Seven Talk (UTC) 07:17, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong template[edit]

On the main EOTW page, Gonnym's EOTW template is displayed, not Ctxz2323's. @Buster7, can you please fix this? Thanks, Prodraxis _(talk) 00:42, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Prodraxis, Thanks for catching this. Buster Seven Talk (UTC) 00:51, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
