Why is this user awesome? Tireless work on the incubator, the language committee. He made me feel more at home in Belgium when I moved to the country and it working on starting a local Wikimedia chapter.

Why is this user awesome?
Like him or hate him, Jack and his many socks have improved Wikipedia vastly over the years. Wikipedia is a better place for our readers because of his efforts. If, as it seems, he has actually stopped editing for the moment, the least we can do is hook him up with a nice parting gift.

- Jack / Br'er / w.e. has certainly preserved the accessibility of the project, and his photographs from Bali are often quite amazing. He should, however, try to avoid tempting people if he is allowed back. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:14, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Why is this user awesome?
Go Phigtins! adopts multiple users each month and instantly provides feedback and assistance without anything in return; he/she is simply kind. Furthermore, he/she isn't even an administrator nor has any desire to be! This, alone, is admirable, as it indicates a dedicated editor with a good heart, policy knowledge, but no "power hunger," though I am not implying that the administrators are so; most of them are anonymous, anyhow.

Why is this user awesome? I will list two reasons why Slp1 is awesome:
- Her sustained, calm and adroit management of abusive POV editors on contentious pages; and
- The neutral, well-sourced pages that result from these situations.
There are more, but I don't want to make her blush. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:simple/complex 22:29, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
Support
- Full support; I'm taking a very short break from my article exile to cast a support here for her; she's done an exceptional job handling some nasty POV warriors. I haven't interacted with her a huge amount outside of one article, but I've certainly seen her work and have nothing but great things to say about it. And on a personal note, on the article alluded to above she's trying to get an expert to look it over, which aside from providing some personal satisfaction will also do a lot of good for the article.

- A bastion of clear thoughts ```Buster Seven Talk 13:45, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
- Yes! Sound argument, clear thoughts, and I think I'd call MastCell "wise". To be wise, a person must have a combination of superior intellect and mature emotional wisdom as well...and...oh wait, I'll look it up on Wikipedia!
- Wisdom is the judicious application of knowledge. It is a deep understanding and realization of people, things, events or situations, resulting in the ability to apply perceptions, judgments and actions in keeping with this understanding. It often requires control of one's emotional reactions (the "passions") so that universal principles, reason and knowledge prevail to determine one's actions.

Why is this user awesome? Huon has been active for years and years now, but what has particularly come to my attention has been his massive, constant, and comprehensive efforts to help new users. He's involved just about everywhere that helping new users can happen, and so far in 2013 he has been the editor who has done most in each and all of those different places. A lot of other people have been involved, many of them have put in huge numbers of hours and made a huge difference, but Huon is absolutely outstanding in this respect. I do have concerns that he may be spending far too much time online in order to deal with the many many requests for help on Wikipedia, and I feel that providing him with an elegant piece of apparel from this programme would assist by reminding him to go outside into the fresh air occasionally in order to show it off.

She has over 44k edits, putting her in the top 1000 Wikipedians of all time, and a habit of sneaking onto new pages and quietly cleaning them up. She has a firm yet gentle way of dealing with problems as an admin. She still manages to keep her article edits over half of her contribs here as well, showing she has her eye on what is really important: content for the reader. That, and from my experience, she is really a kind person that manages to bring a little joy wherever she goes. She has unknowingly been a positive influence for me over the last year.

Why is this user awesome? Mkdw not only puts a lot of time and effort into his edits, but he's taken on many of the responsibilities of an admin without even being an admin! (But we're trying to fix that...) He absolutely deserves a shirt! (Edit: We've fixed that!)

- Support - In my opinion, articles like this is what make Wikipedia come alive and give us true depth. They require a lot of hard work and digging, not something that everyone is so willing to do.

Why is this user awesome? Slowking4 is awesome in the real world because the editor takes care of newbies at edit-a-thons, online, and gives encouragement to others.

Why is this user awesome? This user constantly monitors Wikipedia for people who make obscene changes and keeps this site clean and accurate. He works a lot outside of the website advocating for Wikipedia to be made a reliable source. He constantly encourages great editors and is willing to take newbies under his wing. A fantastic editor who really deserves recognition for his outstanding work on the site, but mainly his personal encouraging relationship with people, and his work outside the site.
