  • Mind the Gap Award. For your contributions to the Gender Gap Task Force. Even though you are "missing in action" in the line of duty, your contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated. May there always be new editors who will pick up where you left off, and continue to make Wikipedia the kind of place your granddaughters can be proud of. —Neotarf (talk) 14:29, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
