Ok, confession time- I’m admitting one of my (probably many) flaws as “community cruise director” around here, and hopefully, taking one step in the right direction to rectify it.
While I feel equipped to encourage and support relative newcomers to our community, I have a harder time figuring out how to recognize and sing the praises of the wikiHowians who’ve been around here since the beginning of (wiki) time. Maybe I just feel like the wikiAncients don’t need an award from a mere wikiOld like me ;) - But relative age on the wiki shouldn’t affect who we recognize for their tremendous efforts, so this guy is going to have to put up with a whippersnapper like me sending him this template.
A Veteran Barnstar for @Eric
, a helper around the wiki to me and to so many others. There are so many praises I could sing that it feels a little silly trying to capture it in a few sentences, but I tried:
Three cheers for the ever so helpful, polite and tolerant contributor - Eric.
Yes. Eric is very old, be like Eric.
He’s also very patient, I remember Eric effectively having to herd cats at a London wikiHow meetup, such fun. Well done, Eric!

Be like Eric but also be warned you’ll never catch up: he gets older every year! (Unless you’re Dave, who is even older to begin with.)
A barnstar long overdue, if you ask me. Great work, Eric - congratulations

Ha, the London meetup was a fun time! I’m all for another London or UK meetup or get together (even if it’s not an “official” wikiHow gathering).
Although not with the wikiHow group, I also got to see Morgan Freeman, Clint Eastwood, Matt Damon, and several of the other actors from Invictus at a red carpet premiere in London while I was abroad!
Anywho, this is so much appreciated. Thank you, @Anna
, for kind gesture of the barnstar!
Thank you to everyone else for the kind words as well. Like I mentioned to Anna earlier, this community is very much like a 2nd family to me, and I appreciate the relationships I have been able to build over the years. Here’s to another decade +! :)
@Eric
I still remember 9 months ago when Eric first sent me an email titled ‘wikiHow Trial Admin’. He let me know I was an admin and offered his help and guidance in training me and this is only one very small part of the very awesome work he does here on wH. <3 I’ve had the privilege of meeting him in person twice as well and can say that he’s a truly cool person.
Very very well earned barnstar, sir.
