Lyrl (
talk ·
contribs) - is a diligent editor since September 2005 who has steadily continued editing and contributing to the sometimes controversial articles of contraception, abortion and miscarriage. Her's is a voice of calm discussion which has helped foster a collaborative approach amongst sometimes strongly opinioned editors. Attention to NPOV and careful citing (without the trap of selectively interpreting primary sources and thus generate
original research) has made her an outstanding editor on these topics (examples of balanced editing style
[1],
[2] and talk page discussion
[3], of generating consensus
[4]). Where others disagree strongly, Lyrl's responses are measured and seek to build consensus and will apologise if there are any misunderstandings.
Her approach in the "front line" in these often disputed articles, is I feel, good experience & training for when us admins need take action: we need be decisive in ensuring the project continues to advance, but must do so impartially, adhering to our rules and with good grace - Lyrl has demonstrated all these qualities.
She has some past involvement in AfD (nominating, commenting) and use of speedy delete tags, also has requested both protection and unprotection for articles. (Indeed probably more admin space awareness than I ever had).
I don't claim Lyrl will jump in for huge onslaught at WP:AN/I or single-handedly clear the backlogs, but having a solid editor able to wield the mop when required can only strengthen wikipedia.
