The current Wikipedia:Orthodox Rabbinical Biography Collaboration of the Week is Rabbi Chaim Michael Dov Weissmandl.

Rachack (רח"ק) is an acronym of my full Hebrew name transliterated into the English language. This is my main handle on the internet, although I sometimes use other usernames (such as TheRachack, IAmRachack, and Anakin9000), and sometimes people misspell my name (commonly Rachak, Ratchick, Rachaq). Many of the aspects of my personal life and background can be neatly fit into a pre-made Userboxes, you can find my many Userboxes here. For a list of my 500 most recent contributions to the global society which makes up Wikipedia, you can click over here. If you would like to email me, then the link is in this sentence. I am currently working on writing a book on the history of Lashon HaKodesh

Awards

The Jewish Star of Jealousy This is a self-awarded award awarded to anyone who feels so jealous that he has no awards that he had to award himself a self-awarded award to make his award section on his User Page look good. He also wants to see how many times in one sentences he can use the word "award" (last sentence was seven). If you feel jealous of others who prominently display their awards in their wiki User page, you can contribute productively to the all-knowing Wikipedia and hope that someone notices your hard work and awards you an award. Or you can drop a message on my TALK passage and ask for a Jewish Star of Jealousy at which point the joint council of the Learned Elders of Zion and the Jedi Council will consider inducting you into the Jewish Star of Jealousy Hall of Fame which would give you the right to legally display your Jewish Star of Jealousy award in your very own Wikipedia User Page. I may also decide to randomly award this award to people or bots. --05:13, 31 July 2006 (UTC)רח"ק

The Jewish Barnstar. Dear Rachack: This award is long overdue for all your dedicated efforts and painstaking hard work over many years to add serious biographies about notable figures from the world of Torah Judaism and thereby enriching Wikipedia and its readers all over the world with this unique information that you have skillfully gathered together as an obvious labor of love! Keep up your great work! You have my admiration. IZAK (talk) 09:07, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

		The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
		Dear Rachack: You deserve this award for never giving up and always retaining your humility and never getting discouraged. From the time you joined Wikipedia almost six years ago you have been a consistent, polite and tireless contributor. May you go from strength to strength. You have my admiration.
