Why is this user awesome? I would be hard-pressed to find a more dedicated Wikipedian than Kudpung. The sheer amount of work he has put in to RfA reform easily numbers in the thousands of hours. His work with WP:NPP and WP:Page Curation is similarly extensive—spanning multiple years, providing input and feedback to the engineering team to make improvements and more. His contributions as an online ambassador and volunteer responder show another facet of his dedication. Kudpung has shown a great devotion to this project we call Wikipedia. 64.40.54.119 (talk) 02:52, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this user awesome? I would like to nominate Yunshui for some merchandise giveaway in recognition for their assistance to me, just a regular user of Wikipedia and unknown to Yunshui at the time. My son was born recently and Yunshui helped me recreate your homepage at the time of his birth as a momento which took a fair amount of work for a complete stranger. The gesture of Yunshui putting this effort in means more then the page itself in some ways. It also underlined to me what a great organisation you have here, maintained by the type of good people I hope my son becomes. I have already made a donation to your org in recognition of this but believe Yunshui should receive something too.

Why is this user awesome?

I contacted Mkdw to enquire why my Wikipedia page had been deleted. I had mistakenly done so thinking they had deleted my article.

Mkdw was very polite and explained that my article was deleted by another administrator and in fact they were only performing a functionary role as the decision for deletion had been made at a deletion discussion.

This editor then went further to review the article and looked over some sources I provided them and they determined the subject was in fact notable and an article was appropriate. They assisted me in getting my draft to a state where it met the notability guidelines and it was reviewed and approved by another editor.

This was my first attempt at an article and I was very frustrated. Mkdw showed me Wikipedia was a productive place and that there were helpful people there willing to listen to reason and not hastily delete people's hard work.

Why is this user awesome? Editor of the Week awardee for the week beginning 15 February 2015. The original nomination statement reads as follows:

I nominate Einar aka Carptrash as Editor of the Week. In early Dec I contacted him about editing the Post Office Murals article which he had started back in Dec 2011. As is the way of things here at WP we began to collaborate on a new artcle, the List of United States post office murals. We both immersed ourselves into creating the article and had a wonderful time. I learned many new things from "Carp" and know I will learn many more as we both expand articles related to "The List". I was searching for something more formidable and long-lasting to do as an editor and, with his sharing and input and mentoring, I have found my "niche". Thank you, Einar, for the 285 articles you have created. ```Buster Seven Talk 15:11, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Why is this user awesome? OccultZone was awarded the editor of the week award by WikiProjext Editor Retention on the English Wikipedia for the week beginning 1 Febuary 2015. The original nomination statement:

"I nominate OccultZone as Editor of the Week for their numerous edits in gnome-y, background maintenance edits. With over 167.000 edits in less than a year and a half, more than half of which are in article-space, OccultZone is one of Wikipedia's most prolific editors. S/he often sits down and, for hours on end, makes large batches of edits at a time in background maintenance areas that most editors would not have the patience to try. In the last week alone, OccultZone has rated over 600 articles and shaved off more than 400 errors in Category:CS1 errors: missing author or editor. OccultZone is one of Wikipedia's most dedicated and prized editors."

Why is this user awesome? Heinonlein helped create the Did You Know project on the Dutch Wikipedia. He actively checked hundreds of facts so that the process went smoothly. Hein is a writer of over 250 quality articles including 4 featured articles. He actively helps to create a great atmosphere on the project, stimulating others he meets to go the distance as well. In short, a great Wikipedian! Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 04:31, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this user awesome? Because he is a dedicacted photographer, mostly of Swiss ice hockey and trains (nobody is perfect). He has traveled a lot (and I really mean a lot) of miles by train for the Free Culture. I think he deserves at least a tshirt.
