Thank you for your support
Thank you for your great question and support at my RfA. It's true that we have to wonder what will really happen to these candidates once they get all those fancy buttons. I shall do my best to live up to your and the community's expectations. Qwyrxian (talk) 06:30, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
TCO, what can I say? You took a nothing list and made it shine. You truly are a "tireless contributer;" there's no two ways about it. You may now drink your champagne. :-) NYMFan69-86 (talk) 01:55, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

The Featured Sound Main Page Proposal Voter Barnstar
I was truly humbled by the overwhelming community support for the recent proposal to place featured sounds on the main page. The proposal closed on Tuesday with 57 people in support and only 2 in opposition.
It should take a few weeks for everything to get coded and tested, and once that is done the community will be presented with a mock up to assess on aesthetic appeal.
Finally, I invite all of you to participate in the featured sounds process itself. Whether you're a performer, an uploader, or just come across a sound file you find top quality, and that meets the featured sound criteria, you can nominate it at Misplaced Pages:Featured sound candidates. Featured sounds is also looking for people to help assess candidates (also at Misplaced Pages:Featured sound candidates.)
Thanks again for such a strong showing of support, and I hope to see you at featured sounds in the future. Sven ManguardWha? Adam Cuerden
