User:Blue Rook/Barnstar

What it is
 * The Dead-On Award is my personal take on Wikipedia's "barnstar" (a small token which one user may give to another in appreciation for particularly good contributions). This award is merely a "thank you" to fairly established users who make edits that stand out to me personally.
 * The text template I use is as follows: This, the Xth Dead-On Award, is hereby given to User:X for outstanding contributions to Wiki 24. Thank you for your work ...

What it is not
 * The award implies nothing more than my gratitude to the recipient for his or her hard work. The award itself, and my act of giving it, are not official statements of any kind.

Recipients
 * 1) Pyramidhead (June, 2007)
 * For many impressive months of dedicated contributions of all sizes.
 * For not caving in to peer pressure! ;)

Like it?
 * I hope other users are inspired by this kind of gesture, and make similar gestures to fellow users here on the wiki, or, even design an award of their own(!). As you probably know, hearing honest words of appreciation is something no normal person gets tired of, and as such, it's a great way to build a community.

Miscellany & sysops
 * Because they are numbered, I can't possibly hand out awards to everyone who makes great edits all the time, so if you don't get one, please do not take it personally. Admins are not eligible to receive the award for fairly obvious reasons; instead, however, I give out a similar token, the Owned! Award, for my senior sysops. Those awards are not numbered since admins do a great job at being awesome by default. ;)
