A mistake on my part

I must have inadvertently clicked on the second section header on the queue of accepted nominations, not noticing the first, as I just presented this week's EotW to Muboshgu, rather than Pyrotec, who was first in the queue. Not wanting to take it away from Muboshgu only to give it back to him next week, and seeing as Pyrotec has not edited in >a week anyway, it is my recommendation that we award the latter next week, and keep Muboshgu as this week's EotW. I will ping John from Idegon, Buster7, The Interior, and for posterity, though both are inactive, the nominators of both recipients, Khazar2 and AutomaticStrikeout. I apologize for my mistake.

Thanks guys

Recognition isn't why I edit, but it's appreciated nonetheless. – Muboshgu (talk) 14:58, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Muboshgu - editors like you deserve recognition for their hard work and dedication to crafting an outstanding encyclopedia. Thanks! Go Phightins! 22:58, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Award by the Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention of 'Editor of the Week' to User:Gaijin42

I have started a thread on this award at WP:ANI: see [1] AndyTheGrump (talk) 16:59, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Zeorymer

When writing his kudos, check his global contribs: 35447 edits found in 7 projects. His work on the English Wikipedia is impressive and deserves recognition but his work on Wikipedia from a wider viewpoint in even more so. He's a frequent contributer to commons with over 20k edits there plus constructive edits to ptwiki and frwiki. DocTree (ʞlɐʇ·ʇuoɔ) Join WER 17:31, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

How to recognize admins

No doubt your ongoing initiative to support and further reward cuddly blocking admins will have many supporters and admirers, but the terms for this particular award state that: "As admins typically have already been recognized for their work, please limit your nominations to non-admins". Perhaps you could create a special award honouring cuddly blocking admins. --Epipelagic (talk) 04:10, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi Drmies, Anythingyouwant, and Epipelagic. Epipelagic is correct, that we do not recognize administrators with EotW consideration, however we have had deserving administrators nominated in the past. For now, we have no alternate award, though perhaps an "under-recognized admin of the month" award would be a good idea. Nevertheless, perhaps either you or we, at EotW, could award Kelapstick with a WER barnstar for his efforts? Go Phightins! 04:25, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Well, an EotW-endorsed barnstar would be highly appropriate. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 04:49, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

(Discussion moved here from nominations page)

What should we do to recognize administrators who do not receive significant recognition? Go Phightins! 19:00, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

@Go P. (I'm always a little embarrassed when I type that). What you did at User talk:Kelapstick was great. Low maintenance. No record keeping. ```Buster Seven Talk 20:07, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

I think we could even update that barnstar a bit, maybe make it a little more visually pleasing.--Mark Miller (talk) 14:05, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Two new nominations

User:Go Phightins!, User:TheOriginalSoni, User:John from Idegon, User:Mark Miller, User:Status, User:Hahc21, User:The Interior, User:JustBerry, User talk:Lettik

I have nominated two editors for your consideration and discussion. Early on we decided to maintain at least 6 editors in the Q. This, of course, requires that the nomination process/page be constantly refreshed. While every effort is made to keep the nomination process trouble-free, a "second" to each nomination is a necessary preliminary to assure support and to move the nomination into the Q. Please participate in the seconding process and keep the Eddy Award in mind as you wander around Wikipedia. There are thousands of worthy editors just waiting for a "pat on the back". Don't Wait---Nominate. ```Buster Seven Talk 21:17, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

• Hi Buster,

Just informing you that Echo pings only work if you link to a User page AND sign the edit. Which is why the previous ping didnt work

Re-ping User:Go Phightins! User:John from Idegon User:Mark Miller User:Status User:Hahc21 User:The Interior User:JustBerry User talk:Lettik.

P.S. I'll just let someone else look into the seconding as I am not really that involved with the Eddy these days.

Third ping. User:Go Phightins!, User:John from Idegon, User:Mark Miller, User:Status, User:Hahc21, User:The Interior, User:JustBerry, User talk:Lettik. ```Buster Seven Talk 05:28, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Sorry. I'm a little wraped up with some research at the moment.--Mark Miller (talk) 05:55, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi Buster. I will try to look this afternoon. Go Phightins! 11:39, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I'm busy. I don't think I could help this time :( — ΛΧΣ^{21 Call me Hahc21} 14:50, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Good news!

The @Coal town guy: winner of one of the first Eddy's being recognized on a much wider stage. I became aware of this on Facebook of all places. Check it out!. John from Idegon (talk) 07:05, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
