I have pressed the "Save page" button, over 45,907 times, making me editor number 320 for number of edits.

I now have 20+ barnstars, but like a good monkey, I had to press the little button 2,869 times before I got my first prize. :(

		The BLP Barnstar
		I hereby award you this shiny barnstar for your efforts to alert Wikiprojects about how to locate BLPs for their projects and invite their participation in the discussion that would affect potentially all projects with a mass deletion (50,000 by most estimates) of "unsourced" BLPs. Your notice was such a good idea and sharing those links will help push some of those most familiar with the topics to help the articles at risk. Keep up the great work! -- Banjeboi 12:43, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

		What a Brilliant Idea Barnstar
		To the artist formerly known as Ikip, for coming up with Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons/Contest as a productive means to tackling the backlog of unreferenced BLPs. Let's focus our energy and get this puppy off the ground J04n(talk page) 03:00, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

		The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar
		For perpetually defending Misplaced Pages's intended and most valuable purpose: catalogging human knowledge. I hope you had a nice Valentine's Day! Sincerely, A Nobody 00:29, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

		Defender of the Noble Spirt of Misplaced Pages

		Barnstar of the Lamp For The Huddled Masses
		For your pure intentioned dedication to speaking for those who do not speak, the wretched refuse of the teeming shores of the internet, providing a lamp of illumination. ----Milowent (talk) 03:20, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

		The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar
		For all your work in these difficult days: notifying Wikiprojects, discussing on the RfC's, exposing rogue editors/admins behaviour and also for this exceptional comment, which definitely proves what is the real problem of Misplaced Pages these days. We need more brilliant editors like you! Cyclopia 13:08, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

		The Guidance Barnstar
		Hi Okip, this barnstar is for your tireless efforts in helping, orienting and encouraging newcomers and novice editors, like me. Thanks, --Grancafé (talk) 15:35, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

The Barnstar of European Merit

I can not thank you enough for the work you put into Albania-Serbia relations, there is no doubt in my mind that you have earned this barnstar. -Marcusmax(speak) 01:55, 16 April 2009 (UTC) _{this WikiAward was given to Ikip by Marcusmax(speak) on 01:55, 16 April 2009 (UTC)}

		The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
		The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar may be awarded to those that show a pattern of going the extra mile to be nice, without being asked Even though I almost always seem to disagree with you, I admire all the hard work you put in to whatever controversy seems to be engulfing Misplaced Pages this week! HJ Mitchell \| fancy a chat? 17:25, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

		The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar
		Awarded 20 January 2007 to Travb for his valiant defense of the Misplaced Pages mission to produce a neutral encyclopedia. Athaenara

		The Article Rescue Barnstar
		For your tireless effort to save notable articles at AfD. Honestly, your commitment to fighting unnecessary deletions is extraordinary! SMSpivey (talk) 02:27, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

You deserve this Wikidraco scholasticus award for taking on current AfD policy at Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_deletion#Deletion_wars:_I_propose_a_novel_solution - and for having the patience to plough through AfD looking for articles worth saving. --Philcha (talk) 13:09, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

		The Philippine Barnstar
		... for your advice and assistance in the development of a Philippine-related article. -- Sultan-Commander (talk) 10:51, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

		The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar
		I award you this barnstar for your continued and tireless efforts to keep Misplaced Pages a welcome place for all editors... from your graciousness and guidence to newcomers who might feel "put off" when their own initial efforts end up at AfD... to your efforts to maintain the integrity of the project and its articles. The job is never-ending, and yet you continue... even when your efforts are sometimes considered as overzealous. Keep up the good fight, but with patience... as Don Quixote is not the only one to find honor in tilting at windmills. Schmidt, 20:46, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

		A Lucky Penny
		In the spirit of funding that is sweeping the country this penny is offered to Editor:Ikip for his incredible WikiWorld endeavors:----Buster7 (talk) 23:43, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

		The Working Man's Barnstar
		For all your hard work keeping an eye on Misplaced Pages talk:Notability (fiction)#Final adoption as a guideline and following up with the people who have commented there. Politizer /_contribs 02:17, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

		Misplaced Pages Motivation Award
		have noticed the announcements at several pages and applaud your courtesy in sharing the news that such a discussion is going on, as thousands of affected editors would otherwise have no idea that the fates of so many articles was being determined or where to even look for such a discussion. Well done. I am surprised that others have not themselves been as proactive in seeking a wider consensus for such an important and far-reaching proposal. This thing could impact nearly three quarters of a million articles. Good job!!! Wow. Schmidt, 18:09, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

This project does not exist to help editors grow a thicker skin. Our mission is to build an encyclopedia, not establish limits for low-level abuse that we think our volunteer editors should be willing to suffer. If we drive away more people than we attract, then it's a genuine loss to the project and we should fix it rather than label those who would prefer to work in a civil environment as "thin skinned." -- User:Cool Hand Luke

The problem is that our enforcement of civility and NPA has historically been quite selective. If you're unpopular or unpowerful and criticizing somebody popular or powerful, you are likely to be blocked. The other way around, not so much. We ought to come up with objective standards and stick to them. -- User:Jehochman

Law_scholars_analyze_Wikipedia's_dispute_resolution_system

there is (95% confidence interval):

a 16% chance that the average case will ban a party from Misplaced Pages,
a 23% chance that the arbitrators will impose a subject matter remedy;
a 43% chance of an article ban; and
a whopping 63% chance that the Committee will caution the parties or impose paroles or probations.

A case where there is no anti-social conduct, no anti-consensus activity, and no improper editing...the likelihood of the Committee issuing a cautionary remedy is a mere 30%. What about when all three are present? The likelihood rises to 88%!

In cases when only bad editing is present, the likelihood of a cautionary remedy is 56% (that is, we predict that in over half of the cases with an editing conduct finding, a cautionary remedy will result).
when only anti-consensus activity is present, the likelihood of a cautionary remedy is 57%.
When only anti-social activity is present, the likelihood of a cautionary remedy is 44%.

How do I send a message to everyone from an AFD automatically?

I want to send a message to everyone who voted Keep on a recent AFD, to inform them of the merge discussion. Is there something I can use to do that automatically, it grabbing the user name of everyone who posted on the AFD page, and then allowing me to send them all the same message at once? Dream Focus 16:34, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

not that I am aware of, I would go to WP:VPT and ask.

There is outside software which will find certain instances of certain repeated text (such as signatures), see Web_scraping and Comparison of Web-scraping software, Mozenda is by far the best, but it would be easier to do it yourself then try to learn this program from scratch.

Give me the AFD in question and I will use microsoft word wildcards and then excel data filter to easily find all the names who contributed.

I will use find and replace to create an easy wikipedia web address for each name, so you can email each person with two or three clicks.

There are programs like AutoHotkey, Macros which will allow you to email people in bulk, automatically for you, but again, to complex for your uses, because it requires programming and extensive time to debug. Ikip (talk) 16:57, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

The article is Ferris_Bueller's_Day_Off_in_popular_culture which got overwhelming support to Keep. Now people are trying to . Dream Focus 18:30, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Microsoft word find and replace, with wild cards clicked (click more first):

Find what:^13(*)\[\[User\:(*)\|(*)\(UTC\)

Excel: Advanced data filter.
