Nomination edit
SandboxR (talk · contribs) – Hello fellow Wikipedians, I present SandboxR for consideration as administrator. SandboxR has been registered since 2004 and has been a prolific editor for many continuous years. They are active in AfD and WP:COIN. SandboxR demonstrates service to the community by their work as the Assistant Editor-in-Chief for The Signpost and has received a wall of compliments for their tireless efforts. Additionally, SandboxR participates and facilitates edit-a-thons, where having this access can help be a better ambassador to the public. As an administrator, SandboxR will be more empowered to provide service. Their distinguished tenure provides a strong foundation for trust that they will have the needs of the community first, and not take risks with technical fucntions. — xaosflux Talk

Rarely do I come across such a long-time user who should have had access to the admin tools for a long time already, as I did when I first suggested them to him two years ago. Are 99,388 edits enough? Is 14 years tenure long enough to have learned something about the way the Wikipedia works? Are 61.7% edits to mainspace, just 25 short of 1,000 articles created, and 460 AfD with 85.4% matching the result enough for even the most fussy RfA voters? SandboxR is not required to 'express a need' here for the tools, or declare areas where he might or might not work - he is so versatile he should have the tools to do anything he comes across when he needs them. As interim E-in-C of The Signpost' (advert), I have been positively amazed just there alone at his round-the-clock (I am in the oppsite time zone) dedication to it for a long time, eye for detail, and knowledge of scripts and markup that I can only envy. His work on-Wiki, already prolific, extends also to a heavy engagement to off-Wiki conferences, meetups, and editathons. There is not much more to be said, a look at his user and sub pages will suffice and I'm sure the community will join with our recommendation to provide him with the mop. This is one bid for the janitor's keys which I most strongly endorse - even if having had to drag him here almost kicking and screaming. This is one user where many voters will say quite genuinely "I thought he was one already". Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 04:04, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
