Thank you for the great contributions! <span style="color:#a0a2a5">(courtesy of the [[WP:WER\|<span style="color:#80c0ff">Wikipedia Editor Retention Project</span>]])</span> \|} [[User:~~{{{nominator}}}~~Alarichall]] submitted the following nomination for [[WP:Editor of the Week\|Editor of the Week]]: :It is my pleasure to nominate Editor Lajmmoore to be this weeks Editor of the Week. This user has been a Wikipedian for just under two years, but in that time has created over 200 articles in English Wikipedia. Their start in life on Wikipedia doesn't seem to have been the easiest: their first two articles were deleted, but they were not put off, and rose above initial problems (with some [[https://www.how.com.vn/wiki/en/User_talk:Alarichall#Leeds%20Museums%20&%20Galleries\|technical help from me]]) to successfully recreate those articles and to create many more since with no difficulties. They have focused their efforts on extending Wikipedia's biographical coverage of women from the Global South, helping to correct a well known bias in Wikipedia's coverage. Where I have seen their editing work, I have been very impressed at their ability to track down and assimilate reliable information about important figures about whom information is not readily available on the Internet, including dealing with source materials in languages other than English (e.g. [[Aïcha Ben Abed]], [[Paulina (wife of Pammachius)]], [[Fatima al-Suqutriyya]]). They have done their editing work in particular through active involvement in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red\|Women in Red]] (along with other projects), and notices on their talk page evidence a string of successes in getting pages they have created onto 'did you know?', again bespeaking their enthusiastic engagement with the wider Wikipedia community. I note too that they are doing a PhD and are contributing material to Wikipedia in the course of their research: User:Lajmmoore/PhD Research. I've had many PhD students of my own and, while all lovely people, they are uniformly fabulously reluctant to share their knowledge in this way. Lajmmoore points the way towards a more open future for academia, and a greater willingness among the gatekeepers of the world's knowledge to share it. ~~:{{{nominationtext}}}~~ You can copy the following text to your user page to display a user box proclaiming your selection as Editor of the Week: <pre>{{User:UBX/EoTWBox}}</pre>
