User:NoSeptember/Early admins (20 Sept 2002)

The purpose of this page is to help me fill in the actual admin promotion dates of our earliest admins at enwiki.

This page contains the list of the people who were Admins on 20 September 2002 (the date that the list of admins was added to WP:ADMIN). These admins are marked as 2002 on the NoSeptember/List of Administrators list unless the actual promotion month is known. As I find this information, I will update this list as well as the NoSeptember/Admin chronological list.


Please update this page if you know more, and provide links to sources if you know them (I have browsed the old mailing list archives).

  • More background information is located on the talk page, please read it.
  • Arrivals date listed on Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians in order of arrival/2002 are shown in this color.
  • The use of the words edit and arrive provides the date when their first edit or announced arrival was, obviously they would have become admins several months later.
