A history
My first edit, in December of 2007, was the creation of the article on Gavriil Veresov, a 20th-century chess player. At some point I lost the password to my original account, Undoubtedly0, and so I made my present account. I am still grateful to Moonriddengirl, who graciously answered my questions in those early days.
In 2010 I was nominated for adminship by the great Juliancolton, which ties me to the following genealogy. Juliancolton was successfully nominated for adminship in 2008 by Hurricanehink, who earlier that year was successfully nominated for adminship by Mitchazenia, who was in turn was successfully nominated for adminship in late 2007 by Majorly, who had just previously been re-nominated for adminship by Ryan Postlethwaite (an election which turned out successfully after further discussion). Now Ryan Postlethwaite had been successfully nominated for adminship in March of 2007 by Majorly and FayssalF. This was during Majorly's (previously Alex9891) first tenure as an administrator, which began when he was successfully nominated for adminship in 2006 by Matthew, who was not an administrator. Now FayssalF was successfully nominated for adminship in 2005 by Izehar, who was not then an administrator, but who had been successfully nominated for adminship on the very same day by Encyclopedist, who also was not at an administrator at that time. Many of these editors are now retired.
I have since successfully nominated two users for adminship. In 2023, I co-nominated, with Vanamonde93, Aoidh for adminship. Aoidh would later become a member of Wikipedia's Arbitration Committee. In 2025, I nominated Goldsztajn for adminship.
