Wiktionary:Votes/bc-2023-07/User:Benwing for bureaucrat

Nomination: I hereby nominate User:Benwing as a local English Wiktionary Bureaucrat. He has been an active admin since 2015 and has put in frankly incredible work to improve the project. We currently only have 2 active bureaucrats, so it'd be very helpful to have another one.

Schedule:

• Vote starts: 20:00, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
• Vote ends: 23:59, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
• Vote created: AG202 (talk) 12:32, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Acceptance:

• I accept. Just for the record, User:Benwing is my admin account, although I use it only for admin-related actions. User:Benwing2 is the account I use for all other work (following the Principle of least privilege).

4. Support, assuming that only one of the accounts will be give bureaucrat status. I would suggest removing a mention of the second account, since the status applies to the account, not the person. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 20:31, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

   @Megathonic, @Benwing2, I added the second account because at WT:Administrators it’s listed as well, but I’m fine with the removal. AG202 (talk) 20:48, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

17. Support, at least to do some MASS-DESYSOPING of inactive sysops and crats. cf (talk) 20:55, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

    Just FYI it looks like User:Surjection already did this for inactive admins, and bureaucrats can't do this for other bureaucrats. Benwing2 (talk) 23:42, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Congratulations Benwing! This is only the second time in Wiktionary's history that more than 50 users have supported a vote. In my view, the result shows not only how well-respected Benwing is, but also that we have a vibrant, strong and healthy community here on Wiktionary right now.
