The Cool as a Cucumber Award is awarded to a Wikipedian who remains cool when the situation gets hot, and even turns into a big pickle. Awarded for your level-headedness in the MJ talk problems. With all the tsaurus, you even managed to teach me a few things about how to do things correctly.yonkeltron 21:33, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

For putting in loads of time and effort into the ArbCom, taking loads of abuse, for little compensation. I'm hoping to give back a little of that, by just making sure you know that all of us think highly of you and deeply appreciate the time you put into keeping this place running.

The Writer's Barnstar For your excellent work in creating and rescuing synagogue articles—and articles are what Wikipedia is all about. Even though we haven't interacted very much onsite, I love to read your work.
