Hey there! Cuyler91093 has loved you by placing a heart icon in the top-right corner of your userpage. Don't worry, it's not vandalism, but simply a small way to spread the WikiLove. If you don't really like it, feel free to revert it and make it go away, and no hard feelings; after all, it's just a small token of appreciation. If you like it, just add your name here, but again, there's no need to feel upset if you don't. Love and best wishes, — Cuyler91093 - Contributions 07:17, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

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 all of the unblock requests, fighting vandals, speedy deletes, and, well, everything. Plus, you've got a killer bathrobe. :)

Thanks for helping out. Keep up the great work =) --slakrtalk / 04:23, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

The Barnstar of Integrity
Thank you for your kind words on my talk. This event is rather saddening. So many parties to this were absolutely doing the right thing to the best of their knowledge and ability, and yet things still went awry... I don't know how to easily recover from this mess, but trying our best, and apologizing when it didn't work, is the best tool we've got. I'm glad you're here. Thanks. ++Lar: t/c 14:35, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for your patient, informative answer at the Teahouse about dealing with dead links. It told the guest just what they needed to know and gave them the right context and perspective for thinking about the problem in the future. We appreciate it!

Also, in case you were wondering, we're trying a new experiment centered around 'acknowledgements' in the Teahouse. If you see someone doing something awesome, find the Badge that fits best and share it with them. More details are linked on the Badge itself. Cheers!


Great Answer Badge Great Answer Badge
Awarded to those who have given a great answer on the Teahouse Question Forum.

A good answer is one that fits in with the Teahouse expectations of proper conduct: polite, patient, simple, relies on explanations not links, and leaves a talkback notification.
