Of value is thy freight, 'tis not the Present only,
The Past is also stored in thee,
Thou holdest not the venture of thyself alone, not of the Western
continent alone,
Earth's resume entire floats on thy keel O ship, is steadied by thy spars,
With thee Time voyages in trust, the antecedent nations sink or
swim with thee,
With all their ancient struggles, martyrs, heroes, epics, wars, thou
bear'st the other continents,
Theirs, theirs as much as thine, the destination-port triumphant;
Steer then with good strong hand and wary eye O helmsman, thou
carriest great companions,
Venerable priestly Asia sails this day with thee,
And royal feudal Europe sails with thee.
”
--Walt Whitman, Thy Mother With Thy Equal Brood, 1872
Awards
CVU Academy Graduate
Given that an Administrator has recently approved you for the Rollback Flag, it is the decision of the community that you have learned enough about identifying, restoring, warning, and reporting to be trusted with a new tool. As such, let me be the first to congratulate you for graduating from the Counter-Vandalism Unit Academy. I, your instructor, and the whole Academy will still be around if you have any questions. Congratulations! Riley HuntleytalkNo talkback needed; I'll temporarily watch here. 07:47, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
For your non-stop work on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and lately for your collaboration on the death Yasser Arafat. Congrats! Al Ameer son (talk) 22:40, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
I respect and appreciate your efforts on the Wikipedia Humanities Reference Desk to concisely present reputable information on queries about Israel. Highly volatile and contentious as the discourse can be, keeping up with it can be exhausting. (No need to ask me how I know... :-/ I do believe the RD/H content is read by many lurkers, which means your material provides food for thought and perhaps even will be served up out there in RL. Here's hoping nothing gets you down while you keep up the good work! (The falafel is to boost your virtual energy levels :-) Deborahjay (talk) 14:29, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
