  • You're gonna need a bigger server.
  • There is no such thing as "too much Wikipedia."

Contributions

My day on Wikipedia begins with checking my watchlist. I review each change, add necessary comments, and revert any vandalism I come across. Occasionally I will click links to random pages and clean up articles that don't meet Wikipedia's standards, but the majority of my time is spent voting. And I don't mean for politics. My favorite spots are Featured picture candidates and Motto of the day. Here is a summary of the ideas I have suggested for others to vote on.

The MOTD Barnstar Hi. I think you deserve this for great participation in WP:MOTD, and also for introducing and proposing a new guideline for mottos Here. Great work! AstroHurricane001(Talk+Contribs+Ubx) 21:48, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
The Working Man's Barnstar I can't glance at any one section at MOTD without seeing your name. Without your help, MOTD would surely fail. Keep up the great work! --Cremepuff222 (talk, review me!) 02:20, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
The Working Man's Barnstar For your hard work over at WP:MOTTO, I hereby award you this. You create mottos (which are outstanding, btw), archive them, make improvements to them, reject/approve them, and more. Oh my gosh, don't get me started on your work at WP:FPC... Well, you understand what I'm saying (right?). Peace, Tohru Honda13 22:31, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
