User:Kyoko/Awards

The following are different awards that people have given me, for whatever reason. I've decided not to include every single image that people have pasted on my talk page, and rather focus on actual barnstars and similar awards. Some of the awards I feel I earned; some of them are more like gestures of kindness. I'm thankful to have the awards, and I must try to give out more awards in the future, in recognition of the hard work that people put into Wikipedia. -- Kyok o  19:56, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

I think I got this award for being nice, or something like that. -- Kyok o  19:11, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

This is an award that I feel I actually earned, because I'm quite proud of my work with the lung transplantation article. Who knows, maybe someday it will become a Featured Article! One can only dream... To think that for the longest time, the lung tx link was a simple redirect to the main organ transplant article, which informed you that lungs are solid organs, and yes, they get transplanted. I am so proud of the article! Thanks, ImmortalGoddezz! -- Kyok o  19:11, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

 I am giving you this barnstar to let you know that I too feel your Wikistress. Tachikomas are cool. Take care, --JFromm 23:28, 15 November 2006 (UTC) I'm grateful for the award, but I don't know what I did to earn it, apart from being depressed. Thanks anyway. -- Kyok o  19:11, 16 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you for being such a friendly user, the ability to keep your cool here on wikipedia and be one of the nicest people I have met on wikipedia while dealing with your stress is beyond belief. This is why I award you this Barnstar.--&#2384; S  e  adog  &#2384; 06:15, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Another award I got for having depression, and another one I wish I didn't "earn". It should be mentioned that the awarder, Seadog.M.S, has changed his name to User:Arjun01, and that he is now an administrator on Wikipedia. -- Kyok o  19:56, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm grateful for getting this award, though again, I wish that the circumstances leading up to the award hadn't occurred in the first place. User:Editor at Large was going through a rough patch in life, and I tried to help her as best I could, as did many others. If you read this, please consider sending her a kind word. -- Kyok o  19:56, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Another award that I wish I didn't "earn". It's nice to get barnstars and such, but I'd rather just be happy. I'm also a bit uneasy about the barnstar, because a lot of people have various problems, so why reward me for it? I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but you get the idea. -- Kyok o  19:56, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

This is another award I got for, well, being nice to another person in need. -- Kyok o  19:56, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Likewise, Cliff is another Wikipedian whom I gave a kind word to. His story is particularly heartbreaking: he lost his wife and one of his children during childbirth, on Valentine's Day, no less. If you read this message, please send him your support. -- Kyok o  19:56, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

To my friend There are a thousand reasons I could leave this place

A thousand things I need not in life

A thousand stresses I must flee

A thousand woes to make me quit this race

You are one of the few that light up the gray

Darkness of arguments and sorrow

Lonely nights and lost friends

A lovely ray of sunlight into my day

You are braver than I could ever be in your shoes

Defying pain, death, and loss

Smiling gently in the face of God

You are gentle poet, smiling friend, and brave muse


 * I will always be there, my friend. Don't let your fire burn out. Defy everything. And know that I'm okay, that I am not alone, and that I will be in touch. *thousands of hugs* -- Elar  a  girl  Talk 02:18, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

This award isn't fancy, and it doesn't have any picture, but in some ways it's one of the most meaningful to me. Elara is a good friend who went through a string of tragedies in the past year, in addition to being the target of criticism and harassment online. She ultimately chose to leave Wikipedia. I miss her presence here, but I understand why she left. I still keep in touch with her, and I wish her well. -- Kyok o  19:56, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
