I should add Serpent's Choice to that list. I don't know why his RfA failed, I missed it entirely, but he's been going wonderful work rescuing the most unlikely articles from deletion by making such massive improvements to them that delete votes get retracted in droves. I'm sure he'd rescue even more that way if he could see deleted article histories.
Yup. Uncle G does this, too. It's a job which attracts remarkably few thanks, and those pretty grudging. I think it's great work, but some of the RFA crowd almost seemed to think that rewriting crap articles on good subjects so we had instead pretty good articles on good subjects is somehow not playing the game. Go figure.
