Editor Awarded

These awards are granted by any member to any other member, with no nomination process necessary. They should be awarded on the recipient's talk page, along with a statement (and possible link) as to why the award is being recived. The recipient may then copy it to his Awards Board (or the awarding editor may ask an Admin to do so). If the recipient has not yet had an Awards Board installed, the awarding Editor must request an Admin to do so (rather than install it on the recipient's page unrequested).

• All Purpose Award: when an Editor feels like someone else needs to be awarded a ribbon for any stated reason
