		Editor of the Week
		Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week in recognition of distinguished career. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)

User:Girth Summit submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:

Harrias is a 15 year veteran with over 500 articles created and yet, in all that time, appears never to have received this award, which seems odd. He has been enormously helpful with reviewing and contributing to several articles I've written, and I see him regularly contributing to the MilHist and FAC processes. He consistently offers advice which is constructively critical, content-focussed and founded in a deep knowledge both of subject matter and wiki-savoir-faire. He is approachable and enormously helpful to new and experienced editors alike. He has taught himself .svg mapmaking in order to produce high quality maps, several of which grace FAs. He amends existing maps at short notice in order to help FAC nominators keep grouchy reviewers happy. He actively participates in the WikiCup and is a newly elected coordinator at MilHist. A truly deserving recipient. }
