The Purple Star | |
| I, Piotrus, award you this Purple Star, for having weathered years of criticism and gaining a bogeyman reputation, when in fact you steadily contribute quality content to our articles and don't engage in disruptive actions.

“When light comes down on me, when darkness shines on you…”
If 20-30+ people ever figured out how to smartly work together by the "rules" of Misplaced Pages, they wouldn't control an article, they would be in position to launch themselves into control of nearly anything. Imagine if Microsoft or Google simply made a WP PR team. 40 editors, all coordinating. Making sure only 30% of their work was on MS or Google related content. Play by the rules, plan, wait, execute. By the time 6-12 months rolled around they could have 20 of 40 or more as admins with no one the wiser. Edit from home IPs. Cake. Next thing you know, they quietly have a consensus lockdown on any article at any time, and can theoretically cross-promote each other via RFA to adminship. Scary. Mivonks 07:34, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Updated: This has already started:
Under some totalitarian systems of communism, important party members who had fallen out of favor with the political elite were sometimes forced to undergo "self-criticism" sessions, producing either written or verbal statements detailing how they had been ideologically mistaken, and affirming their new belief in the party line. Self-criticism, however, did not guarantee political rehabilitation, and often offenders were still executed.
"We discover, with a sense of distres, that all three have distanced themselves far from their national identity. Because...Mr. Schmidt, who on top of everything else carries the German given name Heinrich, professes himself, an incarnate nationalist Pole, Mr. Kowalski as a throught Russian and the apparently Muscovite Mr. Kusnjetzow as a genuine German. And the situation is no better with the confessional identity of the three:the Pole Schmidt is Roman Catholic, the Russian with the Polish name of Kowalski is Orthodox, while the Mr. Kusnjetzow, in spite of his Russian name, belongs to the Evangelical community"
- German original distress report from First World War. The surname means Smith in all three languages. The three individuals belonged to three families of the same root in the same city.
Amusing :)
