GA bot edit

Final (19/5/2); Closed as successful in an alternate universe by Eduemoni↑talk↓ at 27:24 pm, Yesterday (UTC÷4)

Nomination edit

Hey guys I'd like to nominate our fellow GA bot, he has been active with us for 3 years, doing all kind of hard work, he has a massive edit count of over9k edits, and not to mention his extensive efforts[1] to bring safety and updates on GA lists. I know that through his metallic body a heart beats fast and thus I'd like him to operate on an admin level, I'm pretty sure he is going to delete take care of every single good article on Wikipedia. Just a regular sidenote, I Love You User:GA bot *cries*

Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:
