Good work!
The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
This is for removing some serious vandalism from Template:Google, that was affecting several pages that had it transcluded. You did a good job finding and removing it, since it was a problem for quite some time (18 minutes in fact... way too long for any kind of vandalism to survive in Wikipedia).

Your continued contribution to helping new users is much appreciated, and will have encouraged many one-off editors to stick with it and become regulars. So, thanks for working on this usually thankless task :) Euryalus (talk) 22:52, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

For your dedication to Wikipedia's various internal help forums. I was actual quite surprised to see, upon checking your awards page that you have not yet received one of these given how much I have seen you around there, guess there has to be a first. Anyways, keep up the good work! Icewedge (talk) 02:33, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Belatedly, for distinguished service in editing the John I Yellott article. Would've been an OBE but I am not authorized to confer one. ElijahBosley (talk) 20:41, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
For continued excellence helping new editors and the project Jalexander--WMF 21:47, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
I saw all the great work you've been doing and wanted to drop by to 1. Say thank you and 2. see if you were interested in helping out on the WikiGuides project that we're running. The nutshell idea is that we are actively reaching out and helping new users soon after they edit (and gathering information about it so that we can see what works and what doesn't). We've moved into a new phase recently where instead of everyone getting a random list of users individually to try and help each guide joins a team that shares a list (that I add new users too every day or so) with a total understanding that not everyone can be active every day or for the same amount of time. We've also switched to specifically reaching out to users who need help and are doing good work (rather then everyone) and are looking at more ways using tools or just ideas to make it easier and more effective.
If you're interested I'd love to talk to you more but regardless thank you for all your hard work! Jalexander--WMF 21:47, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
In recognition of your sterling work at the help desks throughout the year, I award you this Seasonal Barnstar. -- John of Reading (talk) 18:01, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

On 24 March 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Bradish Johnson, which you recently nominated.

For being a great Wikipedia "fixture" - writing content, cleaning up random messes and copyediting, while maintaining a consistent good humour and attention to detail. Euryalus (talk) 00:40, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
I'm not a fan of moving barnstars, but this one seemed most appropriate. Thought it worthwhile to recognise your long and high-quality service to Wikipedia, as others have done before me. Disappointed in your failure to set up WP:JAL, but will no doubt learn to live with it. Euryalus (talk) 00:40, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
Thank you! I was really impressed by the constructive and non-acrimonious tone and contributions from everyone involved in the recent AFD discussion on the Alliance of Women Directors article. What could have been—with the wrong editors involved—a very nasty debate, turned into a very positive discussion. Even editors who strongly felt that the article should be deleted worked hard to find sources and fix problems with it. This is the kind of positive collaboration people don't hear a lot about in Wikipedia-land and I'd like to recognize it. Carl Henderson (talk) 19:56, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Teahouse Barnstar
It is wonderful that you devote some of your time to answering questions at the Teahouse. Thank you very much. Cullen328Let's discuss it 06:39, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week for your determination and dedication to help the encyclopedia grow. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)
I nominate Ukexpat to be Editor of the Week for helping out editors and non-editors alike. I know him for his hard work at WP:OTRS and the Teahouse, and although I haven't checked recently, I'm sure he's still helping people out on a regular basis. He's one of our most active editors with over 109k edits and just doesn't seem to get recognition for that fact. Almost 50% of his edits are to article space while most of the rest are used to help fellow collaborators.
You can copy the following text to your user page to display a user box proclaiming your selection as Editor of the Week:
