User:Orlady/Barnstars

Other Wikipedians have seen fit to issue me the barnstars and other trinkets in this collection.

		The Oak Ridge barnstar
		Presented Orlady for all her great work on Oak Ridge and /Manhattan Project-related topics in hope she stays around Wikipedia and doesn't go back to dmoz! --A. B. (talk) 19:22, 12 December 2006 (UTC) This barnstar stolen from real scientists and shamelessly modified

		The Working Man's Barnstar
		For tireless edit after edit after edit after... G'on - you deserve it! Natasha Amazing (talk) 09:45, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

		The Invisible Barnstar
		To someone who is an incredible asset to the Wikipedia community in character and contributions (over 16,000 now) and receives little to no recognition. Here's to you! Eustress (talk) 17:48, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

		The Original Barnstar
		The original barnstar is bestowed upon you for your remarkable efforts in the field of unaccredited schools, notably the Elim Bible Institute and Columbia State University. gidonb (talk) 19:51, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

		The Working Wikipedian's Barnstar
		You grabbed the ball on List of city nicknames in the United States after I had made a start on sourcing while the article was at AfD. You have diligently added sources and kept this article -- a frequent target of vandalism -- in line, making constant additions and improvements. This is just one of many articles where I have seen your patience and persistence in improving articles by the addition of reliable and verifiable sources. This honor is richly deserved. Congratulations! Alansohn (talk) 22:16, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

		The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
		For kindly doing what was necessary (without any prodding) to get Buckskin Joe, Colorado to DYK status. Without your edits, the Wikipedia community would not have learned about this interesting piece of americana history. Truthanado (talk) 01:12, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

		The Copyeditor's Barnstar
		Thanks to your efforts and others, List of Texas A&M terms is now a WP:Featured List. Thanks for all your help! — BQZip01 — talk 07:02, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

The Two Sides of the Story barnstar

The Half Barnstar There are two sides to every story ...

The Half Barnstar ... always. doxTxob \ talk

Orlady, let me award you this barnstar to show my appreciation of your controversial opinions. I have combined the two halves to the Two Sides of the Story-Barnstar just for you. Please do not understand this as an insult, it is meant as a compliment and in appreciation of your efforts. Different opinions is what brings Wikipedia (and the rest of the world) forward if the controversy can be resolved in a civilized manner. The two halves combine to an entity and that is what is important. Left and right, up and down, north and south, east and west — what would one be without the other? Thank you, doxTxob \ ^talk 06:05, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

		The Barnstar of Diligence
		I'm awarding you this barnstar of diligence for your combination of extraordinary scrutiny, precision and community service to wikipedia. South Bay (talk) 03:51, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

The Working Woman's Barnstar

I award this barnstar to two fantastic lady editors JamieS93 and Orlady for their participation in vetting other contributors' DYK suggestions at Template talk:Did you know. The high-visibility work of frequently contributing DYK articles often gets recognition, but the lower-visibility work of vetting other contributors' DYK suggestions at TT:DYK (something that makes the DYK process "go") often go unnoticed. JamieS93 and Orlady: thanks for your work that makes the DYK process "go". AdjustShift (talk) 17:18, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

		The Barnstar of Integrity
		While participating in the DYK nom discussion of Palestinian Land Laws, Brewcrewer was amazed at your objectivity and utmost fidelity to reliable sources. He therefore decided that at the very least you are deserving of the Integrity Barnstar. brewcrewer (yada, yada) 16:53, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

		The Editor's Barnstar
		Thanks for your edits to Interoperable Communications Based Signaling. They are an excellent improvement to help our Wiki readers understand this topic. Truthanado (talk) 14:55, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

		The Admin's Barnstar
		Many thanks for the mostly thankless job of keeping articles clear of spam and other nonsense, particularly in the "askgeo-mapzones" spam case. Wikipedia is a better quality project because of hardworking Admin's like you! --Hu12 (talk) 18:35, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

The Working Woman's Barnstar

I award this barnstar to an editor who not only worked diligently to help make the Spoon River College article better, but went so far as to begin correcting a related article on student housing. In addition, she took the time to offer guidance to an newer editor to help him in his writing. When most would have simply posted a tag or banner, she got down to business by working on solving problems. IlliniGradResearch (talk) 15:59, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

		The Original Barnstar
		Many thanks for your work involving state legislators-RFD (talk) 22:55, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

You have been very encouraging and helpful with the various state legislators-Thank you again-RFD (talk) 14:08, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Little Red Schoolhouse

Nice find on that "50 Favorite Places" book. :-)--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 23:17, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. After finding that book and adding some info to the article, I was ready to abandon the half-finished job. However, your nice compliment induced me to finish using info from that source (and a couple of other source) to expand the article. Now I've nominated it at DYK. ;-) --Orlady (talk) 04:03, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Glad to hear it. :-) When I created the Morris article, I had no idea what the "Little Red Schoolhouse" was. Now I do. Gotta love Wikipedia.... Here, have an Eastern Barnstar. :-) --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 20:37, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Five-pointed star with points of different colors

Recipient's note: This barnstar represents the Order of the Eastern Star and it is related to the article Eureka Masonic College -- also known as the "Little Red Schoolhouse" that is considered to be the birthplace of Eastern Star. --Orlady (talk) 22:08, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

		The Barnstar of Diligence
		Thanks for being so vigilant with fixing the unsubstantiated Denver related neighborhood changes. Doing a great job and just wanted to say it's appreciated! Vertigo700 (talk) 05:14, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

		The 50 DYK Creation and Expansion Medal
		Please accept this medal for your outstanding work on American topics, putting 50 newly created and expanded articles on the Main page by introducing each one with a hook shown on the "Did you know" section. Wikipedia benefits from your contributions, and the world's fund of knowledge grows that much larger. Congratulations! Binksternet (talk) 04:18, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

		The 25 DYK Nomination Medal
		After nominating a bunch of other people's articles for DYK this past week, I have gained a much greater appreciation of the many challenges of nominating other's articles for DYK. Therefore, I award you this 25 DYK nomination medal, with the utmost admiration for your efforts to encourage other users on DYK. OCNative (talk) 12:40, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

		The Special Barnstar
		During disussions on the talk page for Wikipedia:A Primer for newcomers you shared some wonderful insights that I was able to incorporate into the essay. I am grateful for your assistance and hope that WP:NewbieGuide will be of benefit to newcomers for years to come. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 06:03, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

DYK Noms-de-50-plumes

		Congratulations are in order! You have passed the mark of nominating 50 new articles, created or expanded by others, to be mentioned in the "Did You Know?" section of the Main page.

A DYK Centurion

		The 100 DYK Creation and Expansion Medal
		Well its a real pleasure to award this to you Orlady. As a stalwart of the DYK project you will know that 100 DYKs are not easy and you have also nominated nearly 70 articles belonging to others - well done. Lots of schools, colleges, women and the occasional fungus have added to the communal wealth. Can I thank you on behalf of myself, the DYK project and the wiki.
