User blog:LOTRMod/The Loremaster's Shield

It's that time of year again...

First of all, a thank you to EVERYONE who has contributed to the wiki. I value all of your contributions, and so undoubtedly do the thousands of people who view this wiki every day, though they may not know it. The sight of so many people giving up their free time to descibe, illustrate, and catalogue a thing that I have made is quite something.

That said, there are those users who stand out above the rest having contributed to the wiki countless times over and over again, with consistent high quality, and I believe they deserve something special as a reward for their efforts, even if (I hope) those efforts would still be made without the promise of a reward.

Last year this reward was given to the top five contributors on the old wiki. However, this year the wiki has been a lot more active, and so I have decided to increase the number of people who earn the reward to ten. I might have liked to increase it even more, but this sort of thing should be kept special.

So without further ado, I present the Loremaster Shield of 2014 to the following users:

Areades

Auraestus

Beijing1000

Ffets

Gen. Grievous1138

GimliBurper

Glflegolas

Handles-081

Sinthoniel

Thorin11

Here is a picture of the shield in-game. If you think it looks rather similar to the old one, that is because it serves a rather similar purpose.



An extra thank you to Handles-081 for compiling this list of wiki contributors sorted by total volume of edit information, not just number of edits, and updating it regularly. You have been very helpful.

P.S. If you have been awarded the shield, you will need to tell me your Minecraft username so that I can actually give it to you in the mod. Then it will be in the next update.
