I don't support this word choice: on twitter.com Japanese speaking reader mistook it as "one of English Wikipedia admins" "someone who writes articles" etc.
Not only "smaller" projects but also on the Wikipedia, this factual error is better to correct I think. I heard it placed only on enwiki (in a downtime I haven't confirmed yet), but English is no mother tongue of every reader of the English Wikipedia. Factual error and language barriers may spread false information.
