User:Slakr/Awards

While I was grazing through some muck on recent changes patrol, I ran across an edit you made. For whatever reason, I thought it looked suspicious and I decided to investigate to see if you had done something horrible that needed undoing.

...yet when I actually saw what you did, I quickly realized that I was totally wrong. Instead, I felt as though your contributions were actually exceptionally good; and, as a result, I feel compelled to give you this show of gratitude in return for allowing me this pleasant surprise.

Keep up the great work, and cheers. =) --slakr^\ talk / 01:11, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

I dropped by to give you a barnstar, but I realized that you already have gazillions of barnstars already with no place to put them all. So, instead of just giving you another barnstar that will probably end up gathering dust in a closet somewhere, I instead decided to build you this extra special eBarn so that you'll have a place to show off all of those barnstars.

Keep up the great work, and cheers =) --slakr^\ talk / 17:48, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Because you Stayed Mellow and Impossibly Lucid in Edits and Discussions without resorting to personal attacks or edit wars on a controversial topic, I hereby award you this cheerful smile in recognition for your outstanding effort in helping to keep potentially explosive discussions civil and productive.

Keep up the great work, and cheers =) --slakr^\ talk / 08:42, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

For helping out during a time when everyone else seemed asleep, I award you some caffeine for your exceptional effort. I probably would have considered giving you crack, but then you might have start reverting contribs by random people, which probably would have been a bad thing. :P

Keep up the great work, and cheers =) --slakr^\ talk / 01:43, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

For being able to be both totally serious and totally fun at the same time, and being able to recognize the best times for both, I hereby award you the Tactful LOL award...

...and a playful raspberry :PPPPP.

Keep up the great work, and cheers =) --slakr^\ talk / 01:57, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

For someone who needs no stinkin' introduction, I present this award for making a noticeable difference on Wikipedia within your first few days as a user. Should you need any help, however, please feel free to drop me a line or stick a {{helpme}} link on this talk page.

Keep up the great work, and cheers =) --slakr^\ talk / 03:49, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

For excellent effort in promoting peaceful discussion, not feeding the trolls, and not biting, you are hereby awarded a dove. I tried to get you the actual bird, but it crapped on my keyboard flew away. Sorry 'bout that. :P

Thanks for helping out. =) --slakr^\ talk / 01:00, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

For excellent effort in reverting vandalism, you are hereby awarded some acetone to help scrub out the toughest of attempts at turning articles to mush. Plus, if you ever need to get nail polish off, it'll help with that too. :P

Thanks for helping out. =) --slakr^\ talk / 05:20, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

For putting forth excellent effort in turning something close to deletion into something more valuable on Jack Mandelbaum, I hereby award you a picture of some lead I recently turned into gold via alchemy. Since you already know how to turn worthless into useful, I think I'll just keep the actual gold for myself, since you'll be able to make some on your own, right? :D

Anyway, thanks for helping out. Keep up the great work =) --slakr^\ talk / 21:58, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

For your excellent contributions, I hereby award you this thumbs up. Well, actually it's a dismembered hand with its thumb pointing upwards, which is kind of weird when you think about it, but it's the thought that counts, right? :P Anyway, great job on the paintball articles. Plus, you've got a fun user page. :)

Thanks for helping out. Keep up the great work =) --slakr^\ talk / 00:34, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

For keeping in good spirits without resorting to biting, feeding the trolls, or dishing out personal attacks, I hereby award you a custom made–crafted– resized comedy mask icon thinggy. I figured it gave off a good Meh :P kind of vibe, but if you know of something better, lemme know and I'll gladly update it. :D

Thanks for helping to make editing on the encyclopedia more pleasant for everyone. Keep up the great work =) --slakr^\ talk / 00:47, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

For all of your excellent work, I hereby award you the world's largest piñata, so that the next time you become stressed, you're able to put on a blindfold, grab a stick, and knock the crap out of your problem without worrying about not hitting the mark. :P Even better, you'll get a bunch of candy once you're finished. :D

Thanks for everything, and illegitimi non carborundum. Cheers =) --slakr^\ talk / 20:41, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

For helping to spur a ridiculously long diatribe in response to doing your job, I hereby award you a cyber copy of Ulysses. I'd deliver a copy in-person, but the thing is too freakin' huge and I'd probably pull a muscle trying to haul it around.

Cheers :P --slakr^\ talk / 23:25, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

For your tireless efforts at handling DYK well, I present you the Dyk of all DYKs, Viktor Dyk. I have absolutely no idea who or what he did, but it's clear that he was a total Dyk. By the way, DYK that Dyk doesn't have a Dyk? Perhaps we could DYK the Dyk.

Heh, but on a serious note: thanks again for your endless patience in staying on top of the DYK entries. It's a thankless job until someone doesn't do at, at which point, people notice just how important you are. :) Anyway, thanks again for all you do. Cheers =) --slakr^\ talk / 03:46, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

For going above and beyond the call of duty in fighting vandals, I hereby award you this vandal-burning infrared beam intensifier disc and a set a matching stainless steeel vandal-grabbers. You probably won't actually need them, though, seeing as you already seem to handle vandals quite nicely without either. But, I figured some extra tools might help. :P

Thanks again, and keep up the amazing work. =) --slakr^\ talk / 12:53, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

For being amazingly fast with a current event update to the encyclopedia (particularly this one), I hereby award you some lightning that I got from my buddy Thor. Just be sure you ground yourself before you shake hands with anyone, else they'll be in for a shocking surprise. :P

Thanks, and keep up the good work =) --slakr^\ talk / 17:59, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Who needs a barn star when you can have a barn owl? The star just sits there and looks pretty. The barn owl, on the other hand, helps prevent excessive rodent infestation, since it's one of the most active rodent pest killers. Now all we've gotta do is train it to deal with vandal pests and we'll be set.

Anyway, just a general thanks for your dedication to making the encyclopedia better. Cheers =) --slakr^\ talk / 19:24, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
