		The Working Woman's Barnstar
		I noticed your recent work on the Amy Winehouse article, improving and adding content, cleaning the page up, and removing POV. I award you this Barnstar in recognition of both that work, and all the other great work you for the encyclopedia. Acalamari 19:26, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

		The Invisible Barnstar
		Thank you for your continued work and assistance on Wikipedia:Unreferenced articles, referencing and generally cleaning up articles that have needed attention for a long time. Your good work goes unseen unless someone disagrees ;) Jeepday (talk) 12:03, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Guilty as charged...

Somewhat addicted You scored 84 on Wikipediholism!

You are approaching the treshold of an addiction (not that I am anyone to point any fingers of course :D). Scores just above this range are commonly defined as fatal - at least fatal for your social life :) But don't let this discourage you; you are doing a great job on Wikipedia; I am sure many editors know your name, and you are responsible for creation and maintaing of many articles or wikiorganizations, I would not be suprised to learn that you have contributed significantly to FAs, DYKs, mediations or other important parts of the community that allow Wikipedia to function. Consider running for an admin if you are not already one; keep in mind that if you put even more time into Wiki it's going to impact something else you used (still use?) to consider part of your normal routine. Not that it may be bad - we waste lots of time on trivial stuff, and Wikipedia is really helping the world. So if you don't mind becoming more addicted - we can certainly use more Wikipedioholics :D
