How do you not pull your hair out?

 * See more at: his talk page

Trying to help clean up over at UCFD, and I have to say, the sheer number of users who appear to be using wikipedia for nothing other than userboxes and user categories (aka WikiMySpace) is staggering. I'm beginning to think the argument "this user category fosters collaboration" is utter bullshit. When some of the members have no edits outside of their own user page, there is no collaborating going on.

And trying to figure out how the stupid category gets populated, when it seems that every user has their own version of the userbox in their userspace, and they're all wrapped in "includeonly" so I have to edit every damn user page to try and find which template feeds the category. It's enough to make me say screw this crap, I'll stick to CFD, where things are relatively normal.

How do you do it? --Kbdank71 14:48, 3 April 2008 (UTC)


 * How do you not strain your muscles? It looks like you performed the splits forwards and then upside down over at WP:UBX and its subpages. Actually, I don't even want to know. Here's an aerobatic barnstar. [[Image:Barnstar-goldrun7.png|40px]] -Pomte 15:57, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

More Barnstars
wow, I actually didn't even know about this until today. thank you very much sir! you know what they say (in case you don't its, The only thing worse then being talked about is not being talked about.~Oscar Wilde) I feel famous, I would put a dancing smiley on here if I could, in fact

Happy Jc37's Day!
For a userbox you can add to your userbox page, see User:Rlevse/Today/Happy Me Day! and my own userpage for a sample of how to use it. — Rlevse • Talk  • 00:13, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!

 * Seconding this. That move request was one giant indecypherable mess for various reasons, but the three of you managed to sift through it all to come to a conclusion. Great job. – NULL  ‹talk› ‹edits›  20:24, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Proposal Barnstars
Thanks very much for the Resilient Barnstar and the kind sentiment behind it. I, too, am glad that we were able to engage in constructive discourse. As I can think of no award more suitable, please allow me to second LuK3's presentation of the Barnstar of Diligence. You've certainly earned it! (: —David Levy 19:49, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

 * That close was going to be tough, and you had the balls to step up and say "Yeah, people will be pissed at whoever closes this thing, let them be pissed at me". The warrants recognition. Good on ya. Achowat (talk) 15:45, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Thank you
... for what you said on User talk:SlimVirgin - missing pictured on my talk, with music full of hope and reformation --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:03, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for closes
Thank you for running through the Requests for Closure page. I try to close the oldest ones that my time allows but the ones that are old are generally that way because they are long, controversial, or both so I have to mentally set aside time for inevitable questions. I admire the efficiency that you were able to show today in attacking these and appreciate the activity. Thanks again. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 18:30, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the note, and happy to help : )
 * I too was trying to work on the older ones first, some of the 30-40 day ones appear to still be ongoing.
 * Thanks again : ) - jc37 18:35, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks

 * Thanks Novem Linguae, very kind of you : ) - jc37 17:25, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

August 2021

 * Wow. Thank you. It is very much appreciated. - jc37 17:23, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
 * +1 I appreciate your work as well. Thank you for your proposal, and for allowing others the opportunity to register our disagreement with the current state of affairs. Ruth Bader Ginsberg rightly said that "dissents speak to a future age", and I like to keep that in mind whenever a proposal goes the other way. — Wug·a·po·des​ 22:17, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much. As I note here, I'm a friend of Don Quixote, and have been known to occasionally (to seemingly) tilt at windmills : ) - jc37 22:31, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

A Barnstar for you!

 * Judekkan, Thank you very much. I do appreciate it.
 * As I mentioned at SilkTork's talk page, I've been meaning to do that for years but just kept putting it off. Hopefully this will make the page more accessible, and help people more easily find what they are looking for. I know that for me it had become more and more of a task to navigate that page. It was slow going, but I think it it was worth it.
 * And thanks again. I really do appreciate it. I hope you're having a great day too : ) - jc37 20:43, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I've tried several times to get consensus from WT:WPWPAwards to have the topical barnstars separated but had little response. But it was a waste of time, since I just add barnstars without consensus to WP:BARN anyways. I'm glad now that was done. I think there was several mentions about the lengthy scroll-time searching for a barnstar being an issue. Again though, thank you for fixing the biggest obstacle to WP:WPAwards. You have a nice day and have a Merry Christmas. Judekkan (talk) 20:57, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you. And to you as well : ) - jc37 21:03, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
