Meetups and conferences are kind of amazing. It's very cool to be able to put faces to so many of the names you've seen on the screen. If you can manage it, you should go to one.

  The Working Wikipedian's Barnstar
For your dedicated work on WP:RPP, I award you this shiny silver barnstar! Editors tend to take admins for granted, you can tag an article or report a vandal and trust that an admin will get to it, because there's always an admin ready to take care of the messes we make. I think this is especially true of you. A little insignificant Giving thanks to all that is me 19:14, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
