User blog:Cyan Wind/Featured User of January: New frontier

ongoing

I would like to give my appreciation to Albus Jones, Balu.ur, Zowdie99 and some other users. Thanks to their participations, this contest turns out to be a big success! People are eager to look for more info about badges & profiles they help to expand public knowledge with these actions as well.

In the meantime, I have been trying to not disappoint you. Yes, I finished overhauling badge articles: collecting data, re-designing infoboxes, adding some missing badges, categorizing them in a systematic/comprehensive way... At this moment, it seems that I run out of ideas and can not come up with any method to find more badges.

Now it is your turn, I believe. Let us remove the limit and expand this contest! Make sure you read So, what's new? section!
