The Barnstar of Diligence
In view of the abiding perspicacity of your always cogent contributions at WP:AfD, which have the effect not only of improving directly the project qua encyclopedia but also, inasmuch as they promote logicalargumentation and civil and rational discourse, of improving indirectly the project qua evolving organism, you are surely well-deserving of this barnstar.

The Invisible Barnstar
In addition to being a good mathematician, you are a very good user. NHRHS2010 21:42, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
The Epic Barnstar
For your contribution to the year articles Pro66 (talk) 21:51, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
Even though the efforts to keep the Pelosi article on my user page were not successful, I am so thankful at least someone in Misplaced Pages other than Jimbo saw the light on this. As a result, I offer you this barnstar as a matter of thanks. Chris (talk) 19:07, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
The Sewer Cover Barnstar
You have been awarded the Sewer Cover Barnstar because you can read through anything. You don’t know the meaning of attention deficit disorder, laugh in the face of boredom, and are wasting your talents if you don’t become a patent examiner.
I award this to you, Arthur Rubin, with humbleness and awe. You’ve done what I truly can not. Further, as you read through the 1925 article, you made improvements to the article, exhibiting the best of true Wikipedian spirit. Thanks. Greg L (talk) 00:57, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

You are good people, trying to help clueless n00bs with a burr under their saddles. Guy (Help!) 21:13, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

The Barnstar of Diplomacy
I saw the tirade of abuse against you on the 2010 talk page. This Barnstar is recognition to you for keeping a cool head and not rising to the user's comments. For this, I commend you. AycliffeAngel (talk) 17:05, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
This editor is a Senior Editor and is entitled to display this Rhodium Editor Star.
Igni (talk·contribs) makes "grammatical" and "style" corrections in articles which seem (at least to me) to change the meaning, possibly due to a different understanding of the English language.
Voortle (talk·contribs) creating unnecessary articles, redirects, and sections in year and number articles. (I thought he'd gone.)
Hemanshu (talk·contribs) damaging year articles; creating bizarre changes in month groupings, adding (usually improper) explanations for notability with almost always improper italization, adding Afro-xxx to nationality (often wrong, never appropriate)
hopiakuta (talk·contribs) has some sort of screen-reading software which causes destruction of information when he tries to edit.
current list (from 12 January 2012 or so) maintained at User:Arthur Rubin/IP list. Editors are welcome to add (but not subtract) from the list. — Arthur Rubin(talk) 15:42, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
99 anon (and 97.87.29.188 and 209.255.78.138, 108.73.115.71, 216.250.156.66 and possibly 24.11.21.141) adding easter eggs, inappropriate #See also and {{seealso}} links, and clearly inappropriate categories to many global-warming-related articles. Although "it" is clearly a single person on a floating IP, it seems not subject to 3RR. Style factors in favor of their being the same person include:
It used to link 350.org whenever the number 350 appeared in a Misplaced Pages article, as well as linking to any and all climate change articles from350.org.
Using "also see" instead of "See also" in section headers and in text.
However, I am subject to 3RR, so I'm noting (some) of the articles in which they are adding this material. I suspect the only solution is to permanently semiprotect all climate change articles, broadly defined.
