I like to think I'm useful. These people seem to think so too. All too often, contributing to Wikipedia is a thankless job, as the majority of the use of Wikipedia is by users whom are trying to get information without any respect for where that information comes from or how its quality is asserted. Those of us that actually spend significant amounts of time on Wikipedia know just how time consuming this work can be, and I thank all those that have thanked me for everything I've done, and of course I thank everyone that has worked on Wikipedia. This is a team project and every one of the barnstars and other awards listed below is not only something I am proud of, but also something I realize I could not have done without help from many other editors, so they belong to everyone.
