- This list (and users who have removed themselves from it) has been merged into Wikipedia:List of non-admins with high edit counts
List of users in the top 600 in article space edits (from the 27 April 2005 WP:1000, i.e. more than ~2500 edits) who are not currently administrators (and not inactive or former administrators, and are not listed as having denied a nomination). If you are on this list and do not wish to be, please feel free to remove yourself. In fact, if you're on this list feel free to do pretty much anything you'd like with your own entry (alright, anything reasonable). Sorted alphabetically by user name.
Note: this list was generated manually (using tools such as vi, sort, etc.) starting with WP:1000 and WP:LA, not using database queries. There may well be mistakes or omissions. Users listed on Wikipedia:Missing_Wikipedians are indicated as inactive.
* - indicates users who have expressed an interest in becoming an administrator. Previous unsuccessful nominations are indicated, also see Wikipedia:Unsuccessful_adminship_candidacies. Users not previously nominated have added a '*' themselves in response to a message left on their talk page. Previously nominated users were starred by default, but were invited to remove it.
DISCLAIMER: This list indicates large numbers of edits, which generally (although not necessarily) indicates a more than casual dedication to improving Wikipedia's content. Users on this list, including those indicating an interest, may or may not make suitable administrators. Nominators are advised to check the balance of a potential nominee's edits between the main namespace, article talk, user talk, and posts to policy and Wikipedia discussion pages, and also to check that the nominee describes his or her edits accurately in edit summaries.
