Picture of the Day
Sagunto
Sagunto is a municipality of Spain, located in the province of Valencia, approximately 30 km (19 mi) north of the city of Valencia. The municipality includes three differentiated urban nuclei: Ciutat Vella (Sagunto), Grau Vella and Puerto de Sagunto. More than half of the population lives in Puerto de Sagunto, situated on the Mediterranean Costa del Azahar. The Ciutat Vella is the site of the ancient Iberian and Roman city of Saguntum and a siege in 219 BC which was the trigger of the Second Punic War between the Carthaginians and the Romans. This panorama shows the Ciutat Vella, looking north from the hill on which Sagunto Castle stands.Photograph credit: Diego Delso

Barnstars
The Invisible Barnstar
This is for the work you do to the various Wikiprojects you are involved in, which nobody really seems to recognize, for mastering the ridiculously complicated art of uploading images, and for being an expert on Coldplay. Hell, you're not actively destroying WP are you? That almost deserves a BS in its own right, Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 15:10, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
For being willing to forgive me after I went bananas and accused him of being a sock, I award Coldplay Expert this barnstar as a token of thanks and of admiration. A little insignificant talk to me! (please!) 16:18, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Anti-Vandalism Barnstar!


For all your hard work fighting vandals, I award you the Anti-Vandalism Barnstar. Enjoy! --[midnight comet] [contribs] 02:01, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

The Socratic Barnstar
You never cease to impress me with your well thought-out arguments, which show a great deal of clue for a relatively new user. In particularly, your edit to Katerenka's RfA showed you aren't afraid to be bold, even at an RfA. I wish I could do that. If I did something like that, I'd probably end up retracting it and apologising if I've caused offence :). Keep it up. You're making progress, and you'll be an admin yourself someday, Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 18:35, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

The Submarine Barnstar
(Just pretend that's a blueprint for a Submarine) For finding a niché in Wikipedia and working prolifically to improve it; then getting countless DYK's/GA's in a relatively short period of time, Lord Spongefrog, (I am Czar of all Russias!) 21:16, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
