NAV Award

The "How Could I Have Ever Doubted You?" Award 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)

eBarn

Slakr's eBarn Award 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)

SMILED award

Slakr's "You SMILED" Award 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)

Caffeine award

Slakr's Caffeine Award 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)

LOL award

Slakr's Tactful LOL Award 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)

Dive Right In Award

Slakr's "Dive Right In" Award 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.

Dove Award

Slakr's Dove Award 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)

Acetone Award

Slakr's Acetone Award 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)

Alchemy Award

File:Kilobar Web.jpg

Slakr's Alchemy Award 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)

Thumbs Up Award

Slakr's Thumbs Up Award 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)

Meh! :P Award

Slakr's Meh! :P Award 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)

Piñata Award

Slakr's Piñata Award 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)

Ulysses Award

Slakr's Ulysses Award 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)

Dykish Award

Slakr's Dykish Award For your tireless efforts at handling DYK well, I present you the Dyk of all DYKs, Viktor Dyk. I have absolutely no idea who he is 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. :P Heh, but on a serious note: thanks 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 / 04:47, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Vandalsleuth Award

Slakr's Vandalsleuth Award 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)

Lightning Award

Slakr's Lightning Award 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)

better

Slakr's Lightning Award For being amazingly fast to create a useful script to help a fellow editor (i.e., User:The_Voidwalker/alwaysEditSectionLink.js), 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—especially if they have a pacemaker. ...on second thought, just stay away from old people altogether. Probably infants, too. ...oh and electronics. ...which kind of defeats the purpose of this award, now that I think of it. Well, crap. I guess worst case you can just eBay it or something? Thanks, and keep up the good work =) --slakr\ talk / 01:28, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

Barn Owl Award

Slakr's Barn Owl Award 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)

Red Pen of Doom Award

Slakr's Red Pen of Doom Award For you're your continued efforts to correct peoples's bad grammerar, I hearby hereby award you this red pen... of doom! Be very careful with it. Its It's said to contain the many spirits of the greatest proofreaders of all times, so you must yeild yield it's its power with caution. Heh, anyway, thanks again for helping to make the encyclopedia better. Cheers =) --slakr\ talk / 00:16, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Vote of Awesomeness Award

Slakr's Vote of Awesomeness Award For truly impressing me in how you well you responded to my concerns on WT:CSD, I hereby award you this support vote in mitosis because it was just that awesome to me. It's very refreshing to see objective, rational attempts at discussion, and you spared no expense. =) You very much went above and beyond the call of duty =). Anyway, thanks again, and cheers =) --slakr\ talk / 03:52, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Fresh Award

Slakr's Fresh Award For bringing a truly refreshing breath of invigorating air to Wikipedia with your actions, I hereby award you some fresh wasabi. Your creation of User:Garden/WikiCup seems, at least to me, a great way to energize participation in editing the encyclopedia productively, with a playfully competitive edge. Double thumbs up from me for putting the work into organizing and executing it. ... Oh, and be sure to not eat the wasabi without first mixing it with some soy sauce and ideally some sushi. I hear it's relatively unpleasant on its own. :P Anyway, keep up the good work, and cheers =) --slakr\ talk / 20:14, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Slam Dunk Award

Slakr's Slam Dunk Award For maintaining awesome cool, being completely professional, showing excellent judgment, and basically scoring a slam dunk (in my eyes) while dealing with a hot-tempered user on User talk:Amyseekuif, I hereby award you your very own slam dunk. Use it wisely. Don't waste it on schoolyard pickup games: save it for that game-winning, send-'em-packing moment. :P Heh, anyway, keep up the great work, and cheers =) --slakr\ talk / 12:33, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Best Thing Of The Year Award

Slakr's Best Thing Of The Year Award For your hard work, dedication, and successful implementation of AbuseFilter— clearly the best thing of the year for Wikimedia—I hereby award you a box full of the next best things of the year. Since you've already made the best thing of the year, it's kind of silly to try to give you something more valuable and important, so I figured maybe a bunch of really cool, but not-as-cool runner-ups, combined, might yield something that could try to match the coolness of The One True Best Thing this year. :P Heh, anyway, thanks again, and keep up the great work. =) Cheers, --slakr\ talk / 10:14, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Beachin' Award

Slakr's Beachin' Award For having an awesome username, user boxes, keeping a cool head in the face of stuff like this, and still being readily able to admit it if you've made mistakes, I hereby award you this award for being overall beachin' *bad pun included for free. :P Keep up the great work. =) Cheers, --slakr\ talk / 07:34, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Gave-It-A-Shot Award

Slakr's Gave-It-A-Shot Award For taking the chance and giving it a shot when it came to taking someone under your wing and sticking with it, I hereby award you a bunch of syringes so that you can continue giving as many shots as are needed. :P Keep up the great work. =) Cheers, --slakr\ talk / 10:39, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Welcome Back Muffins

Slakr's Welcome Back Muffins Welcome back! Here's a fresh batch of blueberry muffins to help fuel you for your return. :P Keep up the great work. =) Cheers, --slakr\ talk / 02:29, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Prox-imity Award

Slakr's Prox-imity Award For your work in helping to detect and block open proxies of all shapes and sizes, I hereby award you a magical proximity switch. I hear it allows one to magically close an open proximity circuit, so it surely must close open proxies in close proximity...or something like that. :P Keep up the great work. =) Cheers, --slakr\ talk / 00:43, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

RFPP Predator Award

Slakr's RFPP Predator Award For your work in helping to tear apart backlogs at requests for page protection by pouncing on requests, I hereby award you this deluxe, camouflaged, tiger-like padlock. Not sure why you'd necessarily need a deluxe, camouflaged, tiger-like padlock, but at least it's a nice conversation piece. :P Keep up the great work. =) Cheers, --slakr\ talk / 01:43, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Anti-Edit Warrior...Warrior Award

Slakr's Anti-Edit Warrior...Warrior Award For your work in frequently patrolling edit warring reports, I hereby award you this anti-edit-warrior combat helmet. It's come in handy many-a-time when dealing with warriors of all sorts, and it's no doubt prevented many-a-concussion...though it doesn't seem too good at preventing the headache in the first place. :P Keep up the great work. =) Cheers, --slakr\ talk / 02:04, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Rights Award

Slakr's Rights Award For your work in dealing with requests for user rights (and the "special" people we've both had to deal with in the past), I hereby award you a genuine copy of the United States Bill of Rights. Be careful with it, as it's kind of old, and the museum totally doesn't know I gave it to you. :P Keep up the great work. =) Cheers, --slakr\ talk / 02:27, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Deeeleeete Award

Slakr's Deeeleeete Award For your tireless work in dealing with criteria for speedy deletion, I hereby award you your very own Cyberman to assist with whatever needs deleting should you ever need a break. It's perfectly safe(*), but if it ever starts giving you any lip, just pretend you're dealing with trolls by showing no emotion and give your local doctor a call. :P Keep up the great work. =) Cheers, --slakr\ talk / 05:55, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

New Page Patrol Award

Slakr's New Page Patrol Award For your tireless work in filtering through new pages, I hereby award you your very own filter feeder to help sift through the muck. Treat it and its inevitable offspring well, and you'll be a real hit over at Wikipedia:WikiProject Cetaceans. :P Keep up the great work. =) Cheers, --slakr\ talk / 06:10, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Four-tuned Award

Slakr's Four-tuned Award For attaining an exceptionally large number of Four Awards, I hereby award you with this delicious fortune cookie. No doubt you'll be able to turn the fortune it contains into an article, get it featured on did you know, and then proceed not just to make it good, but also get it featured. "People will recognize your accomplishments," indeed. :P (lucky numbers: 4, 8, 22, π, 73, 843.73333) Keep up the great work. =) Cheers, --slakr\ talk / 10:15, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

Ealdgyth, Wehwalt, Ucucha, Casliber, Ian_Rose, Sasata. Yellowmonkey needs one if he ever comes back.

Backlogger Award

Slakr's Backlogger Award For helping to eat through backlogged deletion discussions, I hereby award you your very own colony of termites. They love eating logs of all sorts, so I figure that backlogs are on the menu, too. It's best you keep them away from special logs, though. :P Keep up the great work. =) Cheers, --slakr\ talk / 08:51, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

AFC Sifter Award

Slakr's AFC Sifter Award For your extensive work in sifting through Articles for Creation, I hereby award you your very own set of sifters to help sift through the shiftiest submissions shifted into the queue on your shift. :P Keep up the great work. =) Cheers, --slakr\ talk / 05:49, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Hive Award

Slakr's Hive Award For your constant work in several administrative areas and in general helping the colony we have here, I hereby award you this nice, comfy hive... box... thing. For what it's worth, I gave it a good wash to make sure there currently aren't any nasty parasites or anything in it. :P Keep up the great work. =) Cheers, --slakr\ talk / 08:46, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Happy Anniversary Award

Slakr's Happy Anniversary Award For your development work, 10 years of being around, and in general everything, you are hereby awarded that thing that you said you always wanted but nobody ever got around to getting you. Check inside the box, but be careful opening it—you wouldn't want to damage what's inside. :P Cheers, --slakr\ talk / 00:00, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Full-Face Helmet Award

Slakr's Full-Face Helmet Award For being cool when people might otherwise trigger a reflexive, full-scale, category-5 facepalming due to their actions, I hereby award you your own face-guarding... helmet... thing. You never know, one day it might come in handy should someone's absurdity become too great for you bear, thereby causing you to smack your palm to your head with blistering force. No need for you to risk self-injury just for dealing with that sort of crap, eh? :D Oh, and uh... sorry... they were all out of palm protectors, so... uhh... I guess maybe worst case, alternate hands for now(?) ... or maybe grab some of those padded boxing gloves? I dunno. *shrug*. Keep up the great work, and cheers. =) --slakr\ talk / 03:22, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Closer Award

Slakr's Closer Award Since you spend so much time closing long-open discussions, you are hereby awarded something to help you close other things that might be otherwise left open in the meantime. Admittedly, you might now need to get one of those automatic cat flaps to let the good ones in and/or keep the bad ones out, but I think that probably requires spending a bunch of time on WP:ANI, doing hard time as an arbitrator, and other hells. :P Keep up the great work, and cheers. =) --slakr\ talk / 16:59, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
