All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXVIII

[robkelk]

I's been a while since we went through the users and decided on who to promote to autopatrolled.  I found myself doing so earlier this morning as a side effect of clearing out the Moderation queue, and I've got a list to share.  It's in two parts -- People who definitely should be promoted, and edge cases that I think probably qualify but about whom I wouldn't mind a second (or third) opinion.  For the latter I've provided links to their contribution histories so you guys can check them out easily.

Definitely:

• BigBertha (member since 2018, should have been grandfathered)
  
• GalaxySagi777 (Member since January, lots of good, large edits including multiple new pages)
  
• Lolcatistan (member since 7/18, should have been grandfathered)
  
• Jake Grey (member since 5/22, good edits, might be the fic author of the same name)
  
• Miked0920 (member since 2016, should have been grandfathered)
  
• Onibotoke Aedus (member since 10/22, responds to mods, two new pages, substantial edits)
  
• VinnieTheBaggySweater (member since 2/22, many good edits, candidate in the Workshop)
  

Probably:

• Dark Hunter (member since 3/21, few but substantial edits)
  
• DeviantRaccoon (member since June 22, a bit tightly focused, but responds to communications.  Suspect he might be the author of the work he's flogging, but have no evidence for it)
  
• GrandpaNurgle (member since 10/19, not many edits, but probably should have been grandfathered)
  
• JustARookie (member since 7/22, not many edits, all on Monster Girls Quest! Paradox or its subpages)
  
• Magpie (member since April, about a dozen large edits on various pages)
  
• MercenaryGundam (member since April, responds to mods, created new work page)
  
• NoneOfYourBusiness (member since 4/22, reponds to mods, good number of large edits, including new pages)
  
• Ogleguy2000 (member since 3/31, lots of good edits, but two instances of copyright infringement)
  
• Pike2023! (member since July 27, varied edits including a new work page)
  
• Spirit Of A Kiger (member since 5/22, few but good edits, seems to have some interest in the tech side of the wiki)
  
• Ulysses Burbank (member since January, not many edits, but on a wide variety of pages)
  

So... unless someone yells "NO!" I'll be promoting the users on the first list tonight, probably.  The rest will have to wait until I hear your thoughts, or lack thereof.

As for the second list, I'm all for waiting some more Ogleguy2000. Weak OK on DeviantRaccoon, unless they show evidence of trying to make a shrine of their possible self-promoted work page. Rest can get their flags like the first list.

I proposed promoting Dark Hunter a couple of weeks ago, so I definitely have no objection to promoting them now.

As for the others, the only one I'm not familiar with is Ulysses Burbank. Tentative yes on that troper, definite yes on all of the others.

(I'll admit that I seem to recall one or two of them have made one or two edits that I didn't agree with, but "disagreeing with a mod" is specifically allowed on ATT and thus it isn't a reason to block promotion to autopatrolled.)
