Hello Oshwah. Hope you have room on the shelf for a few more of these. I would like to enthusiastically thank you for your work in counter-vandalism on Wikipedia. I took a peek at your contribution history, and it seems as if you are volunteering hours upon hours of your life to protecting this great encyclopedia project from harm. Editors like you seem to be invisible, working behind-the-scenes without ever wanting or seeking recognition for what you do. Always remember that your job is probably the most important to the project. Once again, thank you for working tirelessly, and keep doing what you do! Mz7 (talk) 02:30, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Not only have you gotten the better of me a few times as of late, but you have had users complaining about how you are so fast that ClueBot was late by your standards.

The Barnstar of Diligence
For cleaning up stuff. Nicely done. I've been laid up with the flu for the past week or so and, as I suspect you will understand, given that I don't have a TV, my brain-outlet has involved plunging into the realm of "Recent changes" and "New pages" and trying to put the kibosh on stuff that needs it. My non-Wikipedian significant other is perceptibly sick of hearing me yell stuff like, "Yay, Oshwah got another one!"; he's all like, "Babe, you need to start following actual sports." Given that I'm feeling better now and will probably be returning to "real life," I wanted to give credit where it was due! Thanks! Julietdeltalima (talk) 01:57, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Three barnstars for everyone who fought the vandalism at Paint River. The Teamwork Barnstar for working together as a team to fight the vandal. The Minor Barnstar since rollbacks are, (for some reason) marked as minor edits. The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar for fighting the vandal overall. (I'd give myself a Special Barnstar, an Original Barnstar, and an All-around Amazing Barnstar for reporting the vandal to AIV the second time, but I don't know if that's allowed. :P) Good work, team.

I know that one isn't meant to engage in barnstar swapping, but the one you gave me prompted me to look at your talk pages, and it's clear from your prompt and measured responses to all sorts of questions and complaints that this barnstar is well deserved.

By the way, don't forget to keep up a broad range of activities to ensure that you pass your next RFA :)  —SMALLJIM  12:30, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
I see you helping out demanding clue-deprived AN/I posters, and offering to be a mentor to editors who even fall outside my event horizon as within the scope of redemption, almost every day, and, seriously, you make me want to be not just a better Wikipedian, or even a better real-life-"language professional" (for lack of a less-self-outing-y way of putting it), but, really, a better human being. Not remotely exaggerating. I am so glad I have had the privilege of getting to know you here, Oshwah.

Others may disagree, but I think you made the right call with your initial block. If anything, the unblock was too hasty. Only a fool uses the term 'legal' while making a threat and then throws a tantrum when his threat is interpreted as a legal threat. Don't pay any attention to the insults; you're doing a fine job.

I think it's absolutely wonderful how you are always open for discussion, will always respond to messages on your talk page, but most of all how you solve disputes between users. There have been many times (yes I'm sorry, I admit that I do stalk people's contributions some times) where there have been some heavy wars between users, but you always respond calmly and civilly. I also saw a time where an IP kept making edits that were thought to be vandalism (they really weren't), but you were the only one who replied despite the IP pinging 4 users. If you make a mistake (which everybody does), you always fix the mistake as soon as you hear about it, admit that you're wrong, and apologize, instead of trying to blame it on somebody else or just ignoring it completely. I've looked through many other users' contributions (gosh, why am I such a stalker?) on many other wikis, and I have seen no users who are as kind and willing to help as you. Thank you for your kindness and your service to Wikipedia. Also, I'm sorry if my stalking offends you. Best regards, SkyGazer 512 talk / contributions / subpages 23:53, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

You are to be commended for continually keeping a cool head and always being civil, even in the face of appalling rudeness and blatant personal attacks, examples of which are right here on your talk page, this very day. Despite some recent and absurd accusations, you still manage to respond with a calm and courteous demeanor. Though you are a volunteer, you are also very much a professional and there are many here that appreciate the fine job you're doing, as an editor, an administrator, and a representative of the project. Keep up the good work. Cheers tVVc 14:19, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

The Barnstar of Good Humor
Hope I'm not dragging this out, but this is the last thing I wanted to do before I get to other responsibilities like PCR or AFD. I could have given you any other barnstar, but I think this is the most appropriate based on why. You always bring positivity and humor onto Wikipedia, and always handle people in the most respectful, kindest way, even when doing mentally difficult tasks such as blocking, declining unblock requests, and Arbcom. While people including us are primarily here to build an encyclopedia, you always welcome humor and kindness, because you believe there is always room for that here as long as good things and encyclopedia advancement are getting done. You are very understanding and empathetic to other viewpoints even if you disagree with them, and you always understand morals of both yourself and others. Even if you have to spend large amounts of time off Wikipedia occasionally, you always make sure to catch up on what you have missed and respond accordingly to situations. You aren't judgmental towards other Wikipedians and are respectful and always see them for the good they are now even if they had a bad past or did bad things despite being net positives, such as with Enigaman's Arbcom case, and me. (If you read my userpage, I got blocked at the age of 9 and later evaded with this account for many years, eventually confessing and being blocked until I managed to gain consensus for an unblock, later earning Pending Changes Reviewer rights. I think you would have backed me throughout the whole process if you were present on my situation, given the circumstances and explanations.)

The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
For going the extra mile to welcome student editors! I started welcoming them for retention purposes, and I love to see an admin such as yourself taking that extra step! You were helpful to me several times when I was just getting started and wanted you to know I appreciate your efforts, whatever that's worth to ya. :) I look forward to seeing you around!

Editor awards

eager to help

Thank you for quality articles such as Windows Push Notification Service and contibuting to Sakurai's Object, for fighting vandalism, for quoting "Raise your words, not your voice." and living up to it in your RfA, and for "I'm here to help you!!", - software engineer described as "calm, courteous, thoughtful, and eager to go the extra mile for others" --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:57, 31 August 2016 (UTC), you are an awesome Wikipedian!


Editor of the Week Facilitator's Award
Back in April, you were nominated for the Editor of the Week award. This award may only be given to non-administrators, however. You would have received the award today had you not been an administrator. To keep with the spirit of the award and the nomination, I hereby award you this Editor of the Week Facilitator's Award. (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)

Peter SamFan submitted the following nomination to Editor of the Week:

I nominate Oshwah (talk · contribs · count · logs) to be Editor of the Week because of his diligent anti-vandal work (check his contributions.) He does a lot of WikiGnome work, and he does not want any recognition for his contributions.

Thanks for your contributions! Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 02:49, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

The RfA has been tough, but you look like you'll succeed. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 23:17, 23 August 2016 (UTC)


I don't know how your current RfA will shake out. I want you to know that ORCP was designed to anticipate and highlight issues to prevent bloody RfA's like yours. We failed you this time. In the past we've had Wikipedians just quit after rough RfAs and all of us involved in editor retention want to avoid that. This project runs on great volunteers like you and not being universally liked or not being the best fit for a mop doesn't lessen your value to the project. Not everyone can be Anne Delong. That said, regardless of how your RfA ends no one is going to remember this RfA unless you show up at RfA again. We as a community get persnickety with these lifetime appointments and that hesitancy hurts feelings sometimes. Your good editing speaks for itself and that's the real measure of who you are as an editor. Chris Troutman (talk) 23:17, 28 August 2016 (UTC)


Congratulations on your successful RFA Oshwah! This cup of coffee is to help you sober up, because intoxicated admins are bad for business. Also, you still have lots of unpaid overtime work to do, so keep caffeinating until the jitters come... and we'll see what we'll do with you later.

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made an edit to Wikipedia:Sandbox that clearly shows you have no life. In the future, please remember to get a life, because if you don't have a life, you're dead—both figuratively and literally. If you have any questions, or if you think I made a mistake, please leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!

Okay seriously, congrats on your 200,000th edit! Here's a cup of coffee to help you recover from your Wikiholism. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 00:56, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
