USER:NORAFT GOLDEN W AWARD RECORDS

ITN: Inauguration of Barack Obama [1]

DYK: Wikipedia:Recent additions/2008/December [2]

OTD: Chicago Board of Trade Building [3]

N.B.: The above nomination is actually a faulty nomination. The award honors appearances on the main page. At that time, User:TonyTheTiger had already achieved 8 WP:TFAs, but First inauguration of Barack Obama would not make the main page until January 20, 2013. Tony was the nominator of three of the eight. The eight were, alphabetically, Campbell's Soup Cans ( May 10, 2007, nom/ FAC), Chicago Board of Trade Building ( June 18, 2008 —/ FAC), Cloud Gate ( February 9, 2010 —/ FAC), Jay Pritzker Pavilion ( April 3, 2010 —/ FAC), Prairie Avenue ( December 27, 2009 nom/ FAC), Richard Cordray ( January 2, 2009 —/ FAC), Saxbe fix ( March 6, 2009 —/ FAC), and Tyrone Wheatley ( October 4, 2008, nom/ FAC).
N.B.: The above nomination is doubly faulty for a malformed ITN nomination, which was misplaced at P:CE. I believe my ruling today on a nomination like this by another would be that the malformed edit qualifies as editorial initiative of starting the nomination although it got moved. When this Award process begins to get more traffic, we can revisit this nomination.
N.B.: Swapping in earliest DYK nom and archive for use in table that will probably be used as the display once other editors are recognized.
