It is an excellent and popular way to *celebrate* (not just describe) good-faith new contributors. The way it works is a couple of volunteers who run the page look for a relatively new contributor who seems to have successfully integrated on-wiki, and has made more than a handful of good contributions, and they approach the new contributor with a request for
