Adminship promotion history

 * In the early days (2001 through early 2003) Jimbo approved sysop promotions. Requests were either emailed to Jimbo or done on the mailing list, a fairly ad hoc process during this period. (the actual flagging was done by a developer, this could be Jimbo, Eloquence, Ed Poor or others)
 * From March 2003 through mid-June 2003 promotions became more numerous and routine and were done through the mailing list (a request and few thumbs up were sufficient to get promoted by a developer). Ed Poor and Eloquence did most of these. Only the contentious cases with an objection to promotion required a final OK by Jimbo.
 * In mid-June 2003 the process was moved from the mailing list to WP:RFA and Eloquence and Ed Poor continued to do the flagging for a few months. Then the job of flagging new sysops was assumed by Tim Starling almost exclusively until the advent of the bureaucrat system.
 * In mid-February 2004, the new bureaucrat system went live and from that point until now it has continued. As can be seen in the chart above, Angela was the most active in the early days of bureaucrats, and then Cecropia became the most active until he resigned in 2006. Throughout the period many bureaucrats have participated in the promotion process, some more actively than others.

The records of early promotions from the mailing list can be harder to find. Links to the mailing list emails about promotions through mid-June 2003 can be found at NoSeptember/RfA chronological.

Renames history
There was a sudden and shortlasting spike in renames in June/July 2008, when SUL was brought in. We had a large increase in requests as established users on other projects created global accounts and then requested to usurp accounts here that they did not own (or had forgotten the password to) and had no edits.

A similar spike in March 2007 represented WP:USURP being created; while in October 2009, over twelve hundred abusive usernames were renamed.
