User:Martinevans123 submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:
- I'd like to nominate Peter I. Vardy (talk · contribs · count · logs) for this award. Peter is the model of quiet, methodical unassuming and careful article creation, with more than 100,000 contributions. 510 DYK articles, and 2075 entire articles. His creation of articles for churches, especially in the North West of England, is just stunning - there ought to be a special award just for this - but he's created plenty more besides. And it's all top quality, mostly faultless at the first appearance. My own pitiful mistake-ridden stumbling about looks meagre by comparison. He has a impressive eye for detail. An unassuming and efficient editor who has made a huge contribution. Take a look at his awards. He also deserves this one.

Thanks again for your efforts! Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 19:20, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you, Martin and Kevin. I feel very honoured. All I do is what I enjoy doing, and if it benefits WP and its readers, that's an additional bonus. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 19:53, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Richly deserved. I don't think our wikipedia paths have crossed but anyone recognised by that very naughty boy has to be doing something right. Well done. And anytime you get bored with Cheshire, take a trip over the border. There's lots to be done on the listed buildings and scheduled monuments of Wales!

- Many thanks, Rob. There's so much to do in England; but I do have the Buildings in Wales book on Clwyd, so maybe some time..... If you look on my user page, you may notice that I have written some articles on Welsh buildings, particularly those designed by John Douglas, and on churches run by the Friends of Friendless Churches. But I do wish that the CADW site were easier to negotiate. Cheers, --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 09:47, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes - wherever you look, there's so much to do - keeps us busy! Cadw are a long way behind English Heritage. I've had some contact with them, and I think they are aware of the problem, but budget/time constraints limit them. I'd not come across John Douglas - very interesting.
