John Carter
Nominated by: jc37 20:47, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

Why is this user awesome?

Another editor who I think is very humble about the many things they do to help out At Wikipedia.

And is a clueful, discerning voice in project discussions.

Mean as custard
Nominated by: JohnCD (talk) 19:40, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Why is this user awesome?

Many people will not have met this user, but any admin who works the speedy-deletion queue will know that, day after day, Mean as custard painstakingly filters the sludge that comes through the New Pages pipe and tags the spam for deletion. From the "cheap Louis Vuitton handbag" spambots to the "we have always out performed expectations and brought happiness to everyone" builders, the "top-notch public relations firm" that "specializes in diverse innovative management and marketing solutions" and the providers of "high quality gentle dental care in warm, friendly environment", Mean as custard has got their number. This is the sort of unglamorous behind-the-scenes work that gets little recognition but is essential to Wikipedia's survival.

Dream Focus
Nominated by: Cycl o pia  talk  20:38, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Why is this user awesome?

For fighting the uphill battle for a constructive approach at building the sum of all human knowledge. Dream Focus recognizes that problems are solved by improvement, not by destruction. He is one of the few working and arguing to rescue the work of other editors at WP:ARS and WP:AFD. In a Wikipedia which seems more bent on shooting articles first and ask questions later and that is sadly driving new contributors away, people like Dream Focus deserve praise. And a gift.

He has done a huge amount of work in the last few years mainly on psychology articles and some sociology & philosophy. His work is meticulously well cited.

He's also part of the E3 team that is working to improve Wikipedia, and then deals with the ensuing complaints. Most recently he pushed forward the issue of [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28technical%29&oldid=525494495#Small_change_to_the_top_right_menu dropping] the "my" prefix from the personal tools.

He's also extremely helpful to any user who might have questions and suggestions, and will go the extra distance to see them through the end of the process.

Ponyo
Nominated by: v/r - TP 21:12, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Why is this user awesome?

Besides being a sysop, oversighter, and checkuser, Ponyo has essentially taken on the highest load of work on the Unblock ticket request system. She keeps the new requests cleared so users have a prompt response from an administrator and has closed 1008 tickets at the time of this posting which means among a list of 79 registered administrators, she alone has pulled 1/5th of the total workflow since the system launched in March 2011. She is also a member of OTRS and I imagine she has done as much work there. Between OTRS and UTRS, Ponyo constantly deals with disgruntled folks and is the face of Wikipedia and our administrators to them. She definitely deserves at least a t-shirt.

BECAUSE HE IS.

But seriously, Matma Rex has been a wonderful force behind the scenes with MediaWiki, working a volunteer to improve general interface things and in particular move to clean up involved code, as well as helping immensely toward acclimating potential new contributors to the MediaWiki codebase - I know I probably would have gotten fed up and left had it not been for him, and he is always ready to help in #mediawiki with even the most basic questions.

He is also, it would seem, one of plwp's administrators who is happy to work behind the scenes on anything technical, be it abusefilter or debugging for the one person still using windows 98 and IE6 or whatever it was, and also explaining new changes and keeping the local populace from panicking - something that is always needed regardless of the project.

I wish I could say more, but this is all I've seen of him, though it has all been lovely.

IZAK
Nominated by: Yoninah (talk) 15:26, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Why is this user awesome?

For 10 years now, IZAK has made his mark on virtually every page under WikiProject Judaism, opening new topics, adding hard-to-find sources, encouraging other writers to improve pages, fine-tuning category pages, and, most of all, clarifying and defending the tenets of mainstream Judaism on countless AFD discussion pages. IZAK deserves a t-shirt and more for his dedication and consistent input, with the goal of building Wikipedia into a great encyclopedia.
