I propose a college class on Wikipedia where students are graded
by the level of responsibility they achieve on the site.
Those who become an Administrator will get an "A" for "Administrator".
Those who becomes Bureaucrats, of course, will get a "B",
Checkusers will get a "C", and you know what happens
to those who become Developers, or go to work for the Foundation.

A man is the whole encyclopedia of facts.
The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn,
and Egypt, Greece, Rome, Gaul, Britain, America,
lie folded already in the first man.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson, Essays, History.

BD2412 (global count • editcount • wikiscan • article count • blocks • protects • deletes • moves) is one of the longest-serving administrators on English Wikipedia (since December of 2005); and is also an administrator on English Wiktionary; and on English Wikisource; and an admin and bureaucrat on English Wikiquote.

Some principles to live by

Wiki is not an experiment in democracy: its primary method of finding consensus is discussion, not voting. That is, majority opinion does not necessarily rule in Wiki English. Various votes are regularly conducted, but their numerical results are usually only one of several means of making a decision. The discussions that accompany the voting processes are crucial means of reaching consensus.
Wiki is not the edge of the world: if you really want to say something on the Internet, and it doesn't belong here, there are always alternatives.
Observe Chesterton's fence.
Be aware of Google bias when testing for importance or existence: bear in mind that Google will be biased in favor of modern subjects of interest to people from developed countries with Internet access, so it should be used with some judgment.
- Also, beware Citogenesis.
There is no deadline.
Give thanks.

In the top 100 on the Wiki: List of Wikipedians by article count. Having made thousands of articles, I'm sure that if you lined up all of my articles from best to least best, the bottom ten would probably be pretty... I don't want to say 'bad', but definitely rudimentary.
As of January 1, 2018^[update], I have edited about 14.25% of the articles on Wikipedia; if you have edited more than seven articles, there is probably an article that both you and I have edited.
