In the Personal User Awards there is a wide range of awards to chose from, from the "Golden Wiki" award, for users who have made outstanding contributions, to the "Son of Jimbo" award, for users with the last name "Wales". So the next time you think a user has made a significant contribution, or basically anything else, why don't you give him/her a reward to show your gratitude?
