I just realised Wikipedia has so few Administrators now, it should be possible to have said a little something about each one in as little as 80 days. That's only 11 Admins a day. Easy....
And after 80 days we can then create new lists so we might better understand the Admin crisis.
Around the Administrators in 80 days....

First up is 0xDeadbeef
A user with 9,607 edits. Account created on 18 October 2020.
Self nomination.
Final (203/36/9); closed as successful by Primefac (talk) at 07:28, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
Very active Admin. Focus on SPI, but also goes elsewhere. Edit filter manager. Bot operator.
Unsurprisingly, 0xDeadbeef is a code monkey. Very little article editing, outside his obsession with Rust (programming language), which he of course has a WP:COI with (as per their user page).

Next is 28bytes
Famously a long serving Administrator and Bureaucrat who had to resign his Arbitration seat after he was exposed as a triple double agent by Wikipediocracy.
Will presumably be one of the last people to ever edit Wikipedia.

Highly active Admin, does next to no article editing bar patrolling.
Complete and total twat. Seems to relish being one of the only Admins who processes unblock requests, which he seems to treat as a game of gotcha, not Wikipedia's safety net against the loss of valuable contributors are he hands of incompetent, lazy or corrupt Admins.

Re: Around the Administrators in 80 days....
Good luck. I got very VERY sick of studying these lesser freaks more than 10 years ago. Repeated name changes on many of them don't help--sometimes the name change isn't listed in the WP:Changing name noticeboard.
