Amakuru

A user with 104,514 edits. Account created on 24 February 2006.

Nominated by wbm1058.

Final (179/2/0). Closed as successful by WJBscribe @ 15:38, 19 April 2016

Very active as both an Administrator and general editor.

Surely unique in having only come alive in their second decade as a Wikipedian, more than tripling their productivity after becoming an Admin, an absurdly long apprenticeship compare to most of the holders.

AmandaNP

Bureaucrat & lots more besides.

Famous trans editor, formerly known as DeltaQuad, presumably now their wiki deadname? Also went by MWOAP, their first account?

Surely too busy blocking open proxies to be useful as either an editor or ordinary Admin.
I am more of an administrative (not necessarily using the tools) backend contributor, and I help where my skills lay best.
No shit.

Have they ever created a single scrap of content?

For someone who claimed in their eventual successful (third) RfA that.....
I have changed my whole attitude towards RfA, I don't see it as something I need to have, and if I were to fail at this point, I would just go right back to where I was and continue to make Wikipedia a better place
...they sure as shit looked desperate to become an Admin.

* MWOAP RfA
* Final (12/17/4); Closed by Rschen7754 on 04:41, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

* DeltaQuad RfA1
* Final (65/34/12); ended 23:14, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
* "DeltaQuad has been an active member of the community since last November"!

* DeltaQuad RfA2
* Final (103/13/1); ended 03:34, 19 May 2011 (UTC) as successful

Seems pretty clear this was just the first in a long line of hats. But no stars.

This is only going to make you insane.
a) ultimately, it's his problem not yours
b) NO ONE has ever gone down the list and summarized all of them. Have you?

Anachronist

Formerly Amatulic (until Nov 2016)

A user with 64,358 edits. Account created on 21 January 2006.

Self nomination.

Final (80/2/3); Closed as successful by (X! · talk) · @078 · at 00:51, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Edit filter manager.

Active Administrator. That rare thing, someone who answered the call when the alarm was raised in 2010 about the lack of Admins.

Active as an all-around editor, including Teahouse host & VRT.

Unusually smart and well rounded for a Wikipedian, while still being a classic nerd.

Impressively sustained commitment to the project over their full 18 years.

Retiree with a life outside Wikipedia but a deep commitment to Wikipedia.

Brain damage from working in the military skunk works?

Anarchyte

A user with 41,682 edits. Account created on 2 April 2015.

Clearly well liked, undeterred by a gruelling first RfA in June 2016, withdrawn at (81/53/18) over experience concerns, with no less than FOUR nominees for their second run (Ritchie333, Dweler, SoWhy, HJ Mitchell)

Final (166/6/0); Closed as successful by — xaosflux Talk at 12:58, 7 July 2017

Oversighter.

Active Administrator.

Very active all round editor with FA interest.

A community transitioning into the era of BIGDEAL, or just a poor candidate?

Always a sporadic editor, their productivity has been much reduced since they became an Admin.
