  Executive Director's Barnstar
Gwern, I am delighted to award you the Executive Director's Barnstar, which I give out every now and then to thank editors who are making particularly significant contributions to the Wikimedia projects. I'm giving it to you for your work on the English Wikipedia and English Wikibooks. Since 2004, you've made more than 100,000 edits, and you've written or worked on hundreds of articles on a wide range of topics include ones related to technology, science fiction, and Chinese, Japanese and American history, popular culture, art and literature. You've got amazing throughput – you've done an incredible amount of high-quality work for Wikimedia readers. I also want to specifically thank you for your advocacy on behalf of new editors, and especially your essay In Defense of Inclusionism, which I believe makes a significant contribution to Wikimedia's thinking about barriers to entry for new editors. If you, or anyone reading this, wants to nominate an editor for the ED Barnstar, please feel free to do it on my talk page. Sue Gardner (talk) 01:15, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

    The Lonely Geek Barnstar
This barnstar is in honor of your depressing, unloved presence on IRC on Valentine's Day, 2009. Roses and kisses work for some, but you, noble Wikipedian, have important things to discuss on the internet with people you barely know who you'll probably never meet. Here's to you!
