In the years I have been on Wikipedia many other editors have been helpful and made great contributions. I have decided to finally award some Barnstars and Personal user awards to some of the people who've stood out and the list of awards so far is here.

The list follows the same order as Wikipedia:Barnstars and Wikipedia:Personal user awards presently do. Individuals are listed in alphabetical order. The images are not included here as this would result in my appearing on the de facto list of recipients.
