Good morning! Dev is not my real name. I am female.
I used to be extremely active on here, but everyone moves on eventually, and I am no exception, especially now I don't have twelve hours a day to spare. :) The effort involved in negotiating the fraught journey to FA means I will probably never write another one. So these days, I mainly rewrite articles I stumble across on my travels, and that's it. Time for a new generation.

I think the first FA on a minor television character. Since delisted because... well, I don't know. Some guy who had it in for me decided it violated MOS or something equally stupid. |

My first FL, and possibly my longest project - I started work in October 2006. |
Also proud of Mr. Lady Records, which looked like this when I prodded it, and prompted editors to improve it to how it looks today. I wish all prodded article authors did the same.

The Original Barnstar |
| I (PullToOpen) award you the Original Barnstar for your incredible audacity and boldness when nominating Esperanza for deletion. Your nomination was one of the most well thought-out and well written nominations I have ever seen. Sometimes the best thing for a project, ironically, is removing it from existence. Cheers, PTO 03:59, 30 December 2006 (UTC) |
- You probably made a few enemies in this MfD, but I can tell you that you certainly earned my respect. PTO 04:06, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

The Surreal Barnstar |
| Your decision to nominate Esperenza for deletion was an act of courage and ballisness that most regular Wikipedians would never even want to comtemplate. The Surreal Barnstar, made for "wildcards" of Wikipedia is right for you.S h a r k f a c e 2 1 7 07:24, 7 January 2007 (UTC) |
- You've earned it. S h a r k f a c e 2 1 7 07:24, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Elaragirl's Barnstar of Defiance |
| For remaining unbroken in the face of adversity, unbowed in the face of despair, unafraid to do what is right, I admire you. |
But you're still in inclusionist. Join the Dark Side! Strike them down and take your place by my side! --ElaragirlTalk|Count 00:20, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar |
| On Wikipedia, as in the real world, doing the right thing often goes against the status quo. Thank you for your good work and for being bravely outspoken in matters of conscience.House of Scandal 14:33, 12 February 2007 (UTC) |

"I guess a more relevant question is not 'Why does Wikipedia host porn?' but 'Why am I so obsessed with porn I feel the need to "take a stand" against encylopedically written articles on it?'" I guess it just sounds too much like me to not be funny. :) — $PЯIПGrαgђ 20:50, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
