Nomination
– 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)
