Re: Thanks

Hey, no problem. Also, I think you deserve this:

The Rescue Barnstar
I award you this rescue barnstar for rescuing the article Evanston public library from certain doom by doing a very quick rewrite and hunting for reliable sources. LonelyBeacon (talk) 22:26, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Good work!

The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
This is for removing some serious vandalism from Template:Google, that was affecting several pages that had it transcluded. You did a good job finding and removing it, since it was a problem for quite some time (18 minutes in fact... way too long for any kind of vandalism to survive in Wikipedia).

Barn Star and invitation

The Original Barnstar
For continued excellence helping new editors and the project Jalexander--WMF 21:47, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

I saw all the great work you've been doing and wanted to drop by to 1. Say thank you and 2. see if you were interested in helping out on the WikiGuides project that we're running. The nutshell idea is that we are actively reaching out and helping new users soon after they edit (and gathering information about it so that we can see what works and what doesn't). We've moved into a new phase recently where instead of everyone getting a random list of users individually to try and help each guide joins a team that shares a list (that I add new users too every day or so) with a total understanding that not everyone can be active every day or for the same amount of time. We've also switched to specifically reaching out to users who need help and are doing good work (rather then everyone) and are looking at more ways using tools or just ideas to make it easier and more effective.

If you're interested I'd love to talk to you more but regardless thank you for all your hard work! Jalexander--WMF 21:47, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

The Civility Barnstar
Thank you! I was really impressed by the constructive and non-acrimonious tone and contributions from everyone involved in the recent AFD discussion on the Alliance of Women Directors article. What could have been—with the wrong editors involved—a very nasty debate, turned into a very positive discussion. Even editors who strongly felt that the article should be deleted worked hard to find sources and fix problems with it. This is the kind of positive collaboration people don't hear a lot about in Wikipedia-land and I'd like to recognize it. Carl Henderson (talk) 19:56, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Editor of the Week

Editor of the Week
Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week for your determination and dedication to help the encyclopedia grow. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)

Editor Worm That Turned submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week and Happysquirrel and John from Idegon seconded it:

I nominate Ukexpat to be Editor of the Week for helping out editors and non-editors alike. I know him for his hard work at WP:OTRS and the Teahouse, and although I haven't checked recently, I'm sure he's still helping people out on a regular basis. He's one of our most active editors with over 109k edits and just doesn't seem to get recognition for that fact. Almost 50% of his edits are to article space while most of the rest are used to help fellow collaborators.

You can copy the following text to your user page to display a user box proclaiming your selection as Editor of the Week:
