Yngvadottir ( talk · contribs) – Yngvadottir is an experienced clean-up editor, who I've been nagging to run for admin for the past year or so. She's got a long history of rescuing/improving bad articles, often taking articles from AFD to the front page (DYK)... when the topic is notable, but the article itself was a miserable stub, or full of copyvios, or just plain incoherent. Where others are inclined to just say what should be fixed, she rolls up her sleeves and fixes it.
Her English is excellent, and she's got a proofreader's eye; everything she touches comes out looking great. Her eagle eyes can spot copyvios from miles away. She's also created a lot of her own content, on a wide variety of subjects. As a bonus she reads most European languages, and routinely uses sources most English speaking editors can't read, as well as translating non-English articles which somehow made it onto English Wikipedia.
She's very active at DYK, where having admin rights would allow her to contribute still more effectively. She also really needs to be able to see (and move to user space) deleted articles. Unfortunately she refuses to run, insisting that her technical skills aren't up to the job, not being a "computer person". So I'm nominating her - for real - on the one day where I feel OK violating the rule about candidate acceptance. Maybe if enough people support her she'll accept, or at least consider running for real some day. I don't think one needs to be able to maintain PCs or program them in order to be an effective admin. And she certainly knows Wikipedia, and its policies extremely well.
