The Mandarax Barnstar of Excellence
Materialscientist, I am pleased to award this MBE to you in recognition of your outstanding work in many areas. Unlike some people who only focus on a few WikiTasks, you revert vandalism, work on all aspects of DYK, monitor AIV, write articles, and so much more. I've been meaning to give this to you for some time now, but what finally prompted me to go for it was your stellar performance in the April Fools' DYKs. Your five entries, including what is now the most-viewed non-lead hook of all time, were viewed an impressive total of about 114,000 times. Keep up the good work!

The DYK "review-one-submit-one" system is great because it delegates responsibilities to other editors, thus sharing the workload, while giving them an opportunity to learn.
