'''Weekly instructions'''
* In consideration of time restraints, the award is usually given on a Saturday night. It can also be delivered on Friday if a clerk is not available on the weekends. When creating a banner for the Hall of Fame please use '''the Sunday date'''.
* Open the recipients talk page and click on 'New section' (I usually use "Editor of the Week" as my section title, but that's not normative), you'll want to post the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Recipient notification]] template into the new section. This template is mostly self-explanatory, and I have found that contrary to the instructions, unless I missed something, you don't actually need to use a special diffs template for any diffs found within the nomination statement.
*'''For the "briefreason" field, I usually began with the word 'your' so that the resulting sentence will make better sense'''
* Fill out the template and save it on the nominee's talkpage.
* Remove that editor's entry on the accepted nominations page
* Add their name to recipient listing @ [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Editor_Retention/Editor_of_the_Week#2017_Recipients_of_Editor_of_the_Week_aka_The_Eddy|found here]]. Save the new diff #
* Go to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Accepted nominations]] and create a new EddyBanner
* Go to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Hall of Fame|Hall of Fame]] and remove appropriate ((<---)) from previous week and ((--->)) from current week. 
* Go to [[Template:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Project main page]] and change the date at the bottom of the page
*- Go to Nominee's talk page and add {{{subst:Template:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Project main page}}} within the Award, just under the "userbox creator" which places it off to the right side allowing space for Congrats!
*- Once recipient responds, add it to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Recipient response]]
*- If the recipient is an editor that displays "topicons", add [[Template:Editor of the Week topicon]] to the top of their user page

'''Whenever I begin to wonder if what I do around here is worthwhile, I go to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Recipient response|this page]] and remember all the smiles and good feelings that the Eddy Awards have brought to people over the years. It really uplifts my spirits.

==Who is Buster7==
I am a continually learning member of the Wikipedia experience/family/social group/society...whatever you want to call it. I was born in Belgium and came to America in 1951. I have lived in America for 72 years. I was taught by [[Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary|BVM nuns]] and [[Franciscan]] [[Religious brother|brothers]]. I have been finding my way around the many nooks and crannies of Wikipedia since I wondered  "Who the heck is [[Sarah Palin]]"...over 16 years ago. One of many interests has always been articles about the Flemish language. I also monitor articles relating to the region of my birth (which was once collectively known as the [[Low Countries]]). Promoting and prolonging whatever it is that Wikipedia tries to be has become important. Maybe it is the concept of something that I contributed to living into eternity or maybe it is just trying to write a good, clear, concise sentence. Whatever it is, I'm still having fun! Except for the time I was put up for "the Mop". [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Buster7|My demise through the false presentation]] and words of a editor still sting ten years later. I would have been a good administrator. Better than most I would now dare to say. But, it wasn't to be. Now I have attained ELDER status--self-proclaimed.
 
Since then, I promised to listen to the voice that speaks to greatness... in myself and in others. I have been facilitating the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week|Editor of the Week]] program for over 10 years. I am a [[Baháʼí Faith|Baháʼí]]. I believe it is possible for human behavior to improve and develop and grow, especially in arenas where we are required to interact with each other. Making positive, non-political contributions to the planet is essential to Bahai practices and a bedrock of my Faith. I reluctantly drift into hot bed political articles but am wary of the drama that can result. I strive to be the best editor I can be. I am not a perfect editor. I have learned from past mistakes and, more than likely, I will make more down the line and learn from them.  My constant hope is that the environment of Wikipedia will become calmer and more balanced, and that healthy collaboration will become the focus of all editors, now and to come. While some of the more troublesome WP arenas are political, the focus is not. The focus should always be OUR READER, or stated more distinctly, OUR VISITOR. Quite simply, I want to be left alone. Not bothered by vindictive editors, to enjoy the pleasure of WikiLife at some non-toxic level of article/essay creation and facilitating Editor of the Week. I want to enjoy the unspoken bond that can exist between editors and enjoy giving out awards.  No emotional see-saws, tension, protagonists, provocative provocateurs. I reject the drama of untimely name-calling and [[Sarcasm#In psychology|sarcasm]] ladened replies. It doesn't work here any better than it works in RL. I work to see barriers dissolve in the face of mutual respect and humanity. I like to make editors smile.
===Beware of Bamboozalers===
{{mbox|text='''One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If people are bamboozled long enough, they tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. They are no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured them. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to themselves, that they have been taken (for a ride). [[Make America Great Again|Maga]] is a prime example.'''
*Political Lesson #1---Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.— Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World
*Political Lesson #2---If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you. President LBJ
*Political Lesson #3---exPresident Trump is a poor man's idea of a rich man, a weak man's idea of a strong man, and a stupid man's idea of a smart man. ANON}}

*Almost ten long years ago, I was visiting the talk page of my unforgettable very best Wiki Friend, {{ping|Writegeist}}, and I said the following, 
{{quotation|""Somewhere in the emptiness of "Future Wikipedia" is a Use-full-ness place to be happy. I hope to someday find it"". [[User: Buster7|'''<em style="font-family:Bradley Hand ITC;color:black">Buster Seven</em>''']]<small>[[User talk:Buster7|'''<em style="font-family:Bradley Hand ITC;color:black"> Talk</em>''']]</small> 21:43, 3 April 2015 (UTC)}}

*And find it I did. Facilitating the weekly Editor of the Week awards has kept me safe and sane and far from the Drama of '''HOT''', "in the Moment", "It's happening as we edit", articles that can drain energy and forbearance and bring tension into the Real World.

==="Writegeist, my brother, you are older than me..."===
First, in case you think I might be some Johnny- (or Joanna-) come-lately to the Computer Interweb, I'll have you know I started the first-ever blog in 1909:  ''A Gentleman's Discourse on the Trouser Gusset, the Hobble Skirt, the Advisability of Thornproof Tweed Undergarments, and Sundry Other Sartorial Matters of Concern to the Aspiring Aviator.''  It was published in ''Compo-Serve'' (motto: ''Per Compostum ad Astra''), which at that time was the premier organ for distinguished ''pensées'' on the twin arts of composting and aviating. R-e-s-p-e-c-t! (It's a little-known fact, which really deserves a Wikpedia article all to itself, that I inspired Mr. Redding's song.)

Following in the illustrious footsteps of my blog, Wikipedia editors sometimes dispense advice on their user pages.  I advise joining the [[Wikipedia:Discourteous editing club|Wikipedia Discourteous Editing Club]],  [[Wikipedia:What "Ignore all rules" means|ignoring all rules]], and noting [[WP:Don't-give-a-fuckism|Don't-give-a-fuckism]]. Oh, and beware of advice from strangers.

Nothing in Wikipedia should be relied on as fact (and the [[English passive voice|passive voice]] should be avoided wherever avoidance is found to be possible). Wikipedia is a humorous parody of [[Uncyclopedia]] [http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com] and [[Conservapedia]] [http://conservapedia.com], the only online encyclopedias that are edited with high regard for accuracy, verifiability and [[WP:NPOV|neutral point of view]]. If you find content in Wikipedia that you can corroborate as factually correct it's just coinkidink and you should edit it [[WP:BOLD|boldly, satirically and immediately]].

I don't think I anticipated a situation where the President of the United States, and his political enablers, would become the primary vectors for medical misinformation, nor where simple opposition to blatant medical misinformation & lies would be treated as a partisan act rather than as a basic expression of this site's founding principles. (Of course, I never dreamed that these people could turn the simple use of face masks, during a deadly global pandemic, into a partisan wedge issue either. Live and learn.)
