Sheeks Keeper you get about!! Virtually every talk page I visit you've been there!! You're social skills with other editors is outstanding. If only other admins like Punkmorten etc would follow your example and communicate with other people more.

The Sociable Barnstar

Nice Work!

 * Now, here's a barnstar I never thought I'd get. RickK was the grandmaster, 10s of thousands of vandy-reverts.  I removed the word "faggot" from one page.  Thanks Sam, I'll add it to my archives in 2-3 days :-).  Keeper   |  76   |   Disclaimer  20:16, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Add it to the list, there'll be more :-). (and for the record dear stalkers, and I feel the need to explain this because of the ambiguity in Sam's response above, I explicitly did not call a young, good hearted, well-meaning, honest and capable Jewish Wikipedian an animal rapist.

Oh, I need to thank you and Sam for the one-two punch against some dumb vandal who was mucking up my User Page the other day. Sam reverted the vandalism and you blocked the sucker out of commission. Ecoleetage (talk) 20:28, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

New Contest: Let's get this out of your collective systems...
I'm going offline in about an hour. I'll be offline for a good long 3 day holiday vacation. When I return on Monday, I would like to see at least 10 barnstars besides the freeking four I've just received. I will !vote for my favorite, and I will award (that better be a red link when I hit save...) a barnstar in return to the most creative editor. I will then, of course, commission that winning editor, because of his/her design skills, to create his/her own barnstar as the prize... .

 * It's truly entertaining to read Smith Jones's "work". link and the warning he left on someone's talk, which I can't find right now.  Enigma  message 23:31, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * My current favourite of his is this, but virtually every contribution of his brings a certain unique charm. The one that really had me swinging from the strip lighting was when I saw he was a member of the LOCE.<font face="Trebuchet MS"> – <font color="#E45E05">ırıde <font color="#C1118C">scent 23:47, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, he claims to be part of the LOCE, and he of course awarded himself a copyediting barnstar. The funniest warning by far was in reaction to something on ANI, I think. Someone brought up an issue and he's like "I warned him." Neil responded with "I would recommend against warning people in the future." Tanthalas cracked up.  Enigma  message 23:57, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Stereotyping is A Bad Thing, but looking at those userboxes I've a sneaky suspicion there's a certain cabal he'd be more than welcome to join.

What Neil said was funny, but "   I have given this user a ver y stern warning. You can count on this user never behaving porly again. Smith Jones (talk) 01:38, 1 July 2008 (UTC) " and then looking at his warning... too funny.  Enigma  message 01:11, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Comment to Keeper
I've violated a core principle of Wikiquette and refactored your talkpage, to keep this thread together and stop it from swamping the "genuine" threads.
