Why is this user awesome? Coolabahapple is a relatively new editor - they opened their account in 2014, but didn't really start editing until January 2015. In that time they've worked hard to improve Wikipedia and introduce new articles, especially in the field of children's literature - a genre that is often overlooked on the site. They're great at collaboration and show an eagerness to learn new things, which they pick up on very quickly. I think that they more than deserve a t-shirt.

Support

• Support so enthusiastically! Coolabahapple has been so helpful to me as I've learned the ropes, and has generously shared knowledge, patience and enthusiasm for the project. I'd love it if Coolabapple got a token to show their work is noticed and appreciated! Innisfree987 (talk) 02:09, 21 September 2016 (UTC) [reply ]

Matanya, in 2015, has done a lot of changes to enhance the quality of the code for the Puppet project (a software that defines how Wikimedia servers and applications are configured). He fixed so many issues that he became one of the top contributor and is still one to this day. This week he also quickly reported a massive issue on https://he.wikipedia.org/ , his quick reaction has been the key to limit the damage.
