...but I do not want a prize. I can see somebody else has already done this and received an elephant stamp prize. Instead I wanted to give you an award for all your help in welcoming new users. But then I read your post at Wiki Guides about the "bland, generic, meaningless" templates that "Thank you for your contributions" and the part about we and "who is this we?" and I realized that I was doing the same thing with my award. Aw heck. I'm gonna give you the award anyway, even though it does "thank you for your contributions" and says "we".
Valued Contributor Award
You have been identified as a valued contributor and your efforts are appreciated. We are honored to present you with the Valued Contributor Award and we thank you for donating your time, expertise and effort to Wikipedia. Keep up the good work. Thanks. (more details)
You really do desrve some kind of recognition and I am thankful you are here welcoming new users. I think its important to the project and I appreciate it and I'm sure others do as well. Thank you for your contributions I sure hope you knew I was going to say that. Best regards. - Hydroxonium (H3O+) 03:46, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! I love it -- a gold shiny thing and a yellow smiley. It's super awesome, I shall add it to my little box of shiny trinkets at once =)
Can you imagine if we all had to leave two cheerful notes of thanks for every cranky "thou hast sinned" template we used? What a wonderful day that would be! Thank you for doing your part to tip the balance in the right direction. Katherine (talk) 06:49, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Can you prove that tony strecker does not own indiana, fyi the state constitution says he does, look it up before you go re writing history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.41.67.81 (talk) 05:00, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Jay. Sure, I'd be happy to help you expand the article. Please keep in mind that any information in the article needs to be backed up by reliable, published 3rd-party sources (such as newspaper articles or industry journals), so unfortunately it may not be possible to include all the information that you have.
If you would like to copy & paste your write-up onto this page, I can work on it from there.
Thanks. I went ahead and posted a bunch on the charles e. fraser page and cited as much as i could but i'm sure it need a good flushing out by wikipedia standards. I'd like to use frank loyd wrights wikipedia page as a model for anchors, pictures, and summary boxes.
-Jay.
Hello, Sembahyank. Even if you wrote the original text, it is almost never okay to copy and paste text from another website into a Wikipedia article. Please read this page for more information.

Hello, Nafees. The text you added cannot be used on Wikipedia, because to do so would be a copyright violation. I have removed this text twice and left a note of explanation each time on the talk page of the IP addresses you have used. These notes are here and here. I realise that you probably didn't see these messages (and possibly won't see this one), because you seem to come from a different IP address each time you visit.
I would suggest that you create an account so that you always see the messages which I and other editors (such as Eagles247) are leaving for you. You don't have to create an account to edit Wikipedia, but it does make it much easier to communicate with other editors.

Kathrine,
I see you're well versed in wikipedia with some accolades. I also see that you are interested in following Charles E. Fraser from hilton head. Charles is a notable person on hilton head island, with three monuments in his name already. I've ammassed a collection of online articles to put together a biography of his, but was wondering if you could help.
please send me a regular email at Jay.fraser4@gmail.com if you would like to continue to chat.
Hello, you expressed interest in future meetups, a meetup will be held on Saturday May 5th at the Alexandria Hotel, further information can be found on the meetup page. We look forward to seeing you there!
Hi there! You are cordially invited to a disability edit-a-thon Saturday week (10 November) in Sydney. If you are unable to attend in person, we will also be collaborating online before, during and after the meetup.
Details an attendee list are at Wikipedia:Meetup/Sydney/November 2012. Hope you can make it! John Vandenberg15:08, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Just a quick note to invite you to the next Sydney meetup this Thursday evening. Details here. Hope to see you then! (You received this invitation because you are listed here.) --99of9 (talk) 00:20, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Been a while since we interacted in any capacity, but I was re-reading some stuff from the Wiki Guides pages and thought I'd peek in and see what the participants have been up to in the last 24 months. In your case, having not seen an award of any type for so long, I thought I might offer you this picture of an eclipse to help spruce up your talk page and/or userpage.

Hi there! You are cordially invited to an edit-a-thon this Saturday (21 September) in Sydney at the State Library of New South Wales (SLNSW), where you can collaborate with other Wikipedians throughout the day. Andy Carr, a senior librarian at SLNSW will also be helping out. The theme of the edit-a-thon is paralympics sports, but you are free to come along to meet other wiki contributors, and edit other topics.
There is a backstage pass coming up to be followed by an editathon in the State Library of New South WalesonSaturday 23 November. This is the first time that an Australian cultural institution has opened its doors to us in this way and will be a special opportunity because the Library is providing: one of its best rooms; its expert curators (along with their expertise and their white gloves); a newly launched website (containing new resources); and of course, items from its collection (including rare and usually unavailable material) which we can look at, learn from, and use, to improve WP articles. For example, on the chosen topic (Australia and WWI), the Library holds many diaries and manuscripts from the period.
As you can see from the Library's project page, they have connected this editathon with their own work. They have already set out a wide range of resources to make things easier for us. Please sign up on the editathon project page if you can participate either online or in person with other Wikipedians. Hope to see you there! (Sorry if you've received this message before - I did a quick check but didn't see it.) 99of9 (talk) 10:25, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
