That's exceptionally nice. Thank you very much everyone. PumpkinSky talk 10:54, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
You're most welcome. Alarbus (talk) 11:05, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
I'm glad you like it. We are keeping the light burning for your return.--Wehwalt (talk) 11:26, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Welcome back. Any drama on WP gets escalated quickly. It's not fun when the sides are so contrasting ("black and white" one person observed) and so many range on each side. May your future be productive and free of the obnoxious past. David Spector (talk) 19:36, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

The voting was running close to even, IMHO, varying from one side to the other, as these things do. The bigger problem, in my view, was that the drama was escalating out of control. I viewed some of the commentary as beginning to attack even his supporters, though others dispute my view on this. (I personally felt attacked by some of the comments directed my way, anyway). I think a little cooling off time for all is wise, and waiting for the cabin fever period to end is also wise -- I am quite convinced that wikidrama escalates quite severely between January and March of each year; at least for users in the Northern Hemisphere.

"It gives me great pleasure to garland you with this award." You have taken us to the beauty of remote American wildernesses and to places of historic significance. You made us meet stutterers, a ceramic artist and a Chinese teenage slave pioneer. Your contributions, factual but with compassion, are precious. You are an awesome Wikipedian, did you know?
