George Ruban; also active on my account on English Wikipedia.

We make the desert bloom! (See "Wikipedia May Be a Font of Facts, but It’s a Desert for Photos", New York Times article, 2009.)

I upload free licensed images from various web sites, some of which hide their licensing information in obscure places, so I started Commons:Where is the license on various sites? (COM:WHERE LICENSE) to help Commons:License review, for reviewers besides myself. I also created the {{PD-Gotfryd}} template, which isn't a lot of work itself, but marks over 1000 simply beautiful high quality images illustrating nearly as many articles. And once, at a company that does Web stuff, I worked on a tool that was useful for Wikimedia Commons, but it's been mostly gutted since, I'm afraid, so no longer my fault.
