-'''Service awards''' are a simple way of acknowledging an editor's level of contribution based on two specific benchmarks: the number of contributions the editor made to [[Everybody Edits Wiki]] and the length of time they have been registered.
-Unlike other awards given from one editor to another in a show of appreciation, '''this is one award that is intended to be given to yourself''', although it can also be given by a second party. It is achieved by a strictly mechanical count of time registered and number of edits. Both requirements must be met to be eligible for each award level. There is no process for receiving these awards; you just determine the grade to which you are entitled, then display it on your user page.
-Please remember that neither the number of edits, nor the length of time from when an account was created are, in and of themselves, good indicators of the quality of an editor's  contributions or diplomatic ability. Hence, service awards do not indicate any level of authority whatsoever; "master" editors are not bestowed with more authority, through this award, than "novice" editors.
