The E=mc² Barnstar
For your amazing work getting math biographies sourced during the recent mess - every time I look, there you are, crossing another name off the list. I'd have given you the tireless barnstar, but you already have one of those :) RayTalk 04:32, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

In March 2008 I made a proposal[1] to strengthen WMF's privacy policy by including a notification provision for the cases where identifying info of Wikipedia users is sought by third-party subpoenas. The proposal was later adopted by the WMF Board of Trustees, Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Archive 46#Update in privacy policy, and is now a part of the WMF privacy policy[2][3].
