Weekly instructions

In consideration of RL time restraints, the award is usually given on a Saturday night. It can also be delivered on Friday if a clerk is not available on the weekends. When creating a banner for the Hall of Fame please use the Sunday date.
Open the recipients talk page and create a new section or thread. I usually use "Editor of the Week" as my section title. You'll want to post the Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Recipient notification template into the new section, remembering that this type of template should always be substituted. This template is mostly self-explanatory, and I have found that contrary to the instructions, unless I missed something, you don't actually need to use a special diffs template for any diffs found within the nomination statement.
Incorporate the template with the appropriate accepted nomination information onto the nominee's talkpage.
Add their name to recipient listing @ found here. Save the new diff # for display in the reason column.
Go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Accepted nominations and create a new EddyBanner. Abbreviate the nomination to compress the information within the banner.
Once a banner is completed, remove that editor's entry on the accepted nominations page.
Go to the Hall of Fame and remove appropriate ((<---)) from previous week and ((--->)) from current week.
Go to Template:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Project main page and change the date at the bottom of the page
Go to Nominee's talk page and add {{{subst:Template:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Project main page}}} within the Award, just under the "userbox creator" which places it off to the right side allowing space for friends and visitors to congratulate.
Once the recipient responds, add it to Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Recipient response
If the recipient is an editor that displays "topicons", add Template:Editor of the Week topicon to the top of their user page

Whenever I begin to wonder if what I do around here is worthwhile, I go to this page and remember all the smiles and good feelings that the Eddy Awards have brought to people over the years. It really uplifts my spirits. Buster Seven Talk (UTC) 22:49, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

We may type on individual keyboards but we build this encyclopedia together. Let’s treat each other as if we plan to work side by side for many years to come. Let’s treat this work as if it is one of the most important things on the Internet. Because, to some, it is

It is wrong always, everywhere, and for anyone, to believe anything upon insufficient evidence— William Kingdon Clifford

"Listen to the symphony that is US" says the remarkable Editor ARoseWolf

It is often as important to document LIES as it is to document THE TRUTH

I do not attempt to convert my opponents--I aim at converting their audience.

The most important person at Wikipedia is the reader. Everyone else is secondary. Everything we do should be to give that reader an experience that is free from bias, propaganda and rumor

A good editor considers what helps readers understand the topic

Note to members of Wikipedians Over 70, "If you die, please move your name here so we know you are not just loafing"

I said the following in 2012, There are many jobs at this Zoo AKA WikiPedia. And Many Many happy workers. Pick a job that needs doing. And be happy. Leaving the Zoo is always an option. But, I love this Zoo. Maybe that's the difference. Soon after User Dennis Brown and others created WikiProject Editor Retention and I had a home and a job at the Zoo!

It's Tough to Make Predictions. Especially about the Future

Chicago Skyline

A State of Peace

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, peoples rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension.

Let me cut that up into bite size pieces.

A state of balance and understanding

in yourself and between others,

where respect is gained by

the acceptance of differences,
tolerance persists,
conflicts are resolved through dialogue,
peoples rights are respected

and

their voices are heard,

and

everyone is at their highest point

without social tension.

Good manners are keepers of the peace. They lubricate the interaction between faceless editors, softening the interplay and promoting collaboration.
