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}}}~~Barbara.steinberg]] submitted the following nomination for [[WP:Editor of the Week\|Editor of the Week]]: :I nominate [[User:JGHowes]] to be Editor of the Week for his kindness in recognizing my father's importance as a musician and civil rights activist and bringing his profile to the front page of Wikipedia. Mr. Howes wrote the article, resolved copyright issues, looked into a block issue and found that it was a system glitch regarding IPv6 addresses, communicated with the correct administrator to remove the block, cleaned up source syntax after I edited and added biographical information to my father's page, improved the text with copy editing, solidified sources, and added sources to make the article, [[Benjamin Steinberg (conductor)]], good enough to merit being on the front page. Mr. Howes also recognized my humanity. He understood the validity of this project, and served as a voice of calm, reason, sympathy, empathy, and support during a technical and research-related process I would not have been able to navigate alone. He went beyond the call of duty and turned this biographical exercise into an act of kindness. There aren't many editors who have the depth of character, generosity, and selfless devotion of Mr. Howes, and he worked behind the scenes for no credit at all. ~~:{{{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>
