 has been an amazing year for individual application and dissemination of the benefits of the '''subject'' of Scientology and Scientolipedia.org has been the premier showcase for these efforts.

 Three individuals went far far above and beyond "the call of duty" to create content that has changed the entire Scientology landscape. A statement that is not mere hype, it is fact!

-More about the process each took to achieve their fantastic work is spelled out below. Suffice to say, we all owe a great debt of gratitude to each of our 2013 honorees. Their selfless dedication (none of this year's honorees received any compensation for their work) to bringing truth and valuable information to us all is the "right stuff" and deserves the highest praise and admiration.

 It should be noted that very few people could have accomplished what Howard has. His patience, diligence and dedication over 17 months of exchanging countless emails and telephone conversations was a superb accomplishment itself. He also had to learn the wiki software in order to edit the biography, add pictures and provide reference documentation. But where his superb character and willingness to "get it right" shone through the most was in his delicate and considerate handling of family members who had considerable personal concerns about the release of the biography as well as deep emotional involvement in the story.
-Howard was the perfect combination of sympathetic avuncular confidante to the family as well as many other contributors, dogged researcher determined to leave no stone unturned and the perfectionist's attention to detail.

 All the above resulted in a finished product that has set the standard for research into the subject of Scientology, its leaders and ultimately, provide a more balanced ''understanding'' for all of us.

		+	[[File:EugeneKol.jpg\|thumb\|250px\|right\|link=http://scientolipedia.org/info/Science_of_Survival_-_Alterations\|Eugene Kol, creator of the superb analysis comparison of 2007 vs earlier editions of L Ron Hubbard's books]]
		+	When Eugene first mentioned his work to compare original Scientology books with the 2007 "Golden Age of Knowledge" (GAK) versions in the Scientolipedia Facebook group, I immediately recognized this was important work and posted some of his reports on this website. (he had them on his own website but no one would find them there as it was new and not very elegantly laid out)
		+
		+	The layout of the reports he had created were not conducive to ease of reading for site visitors so I began to edit the layouts with side-by-side tables so the reader could easily see the alterations.
		+
		+	Eugene took this idea, ran with it and proceeded to update all the book reports in the table layout to spectacular result.
		+
		+	In addition to doing the painstaking and time consuming work to identify the changes to the text, Eugene developed a way of photographing the books and pages so they could easily be imported into advanced software which in turn would facilitate the comparisons.
		+
		+	Eugene taught himself a number of software applications, photography skills and dedicated countless hours of painstakingly detailed analysis of the materials. Quite a remarkable undertaking on ones own!
		+
		+	The books written by [[L Ron Hubbard]] are the very core and essence of the entire subject. That someone would have the incredibly evil intention to alter those materials in a manner so as to obscure the complete understanding of the subject, is a fraud and corruption of huge proportions.
		+
		+	Eugene's work is awesome in its detail and comprehensiveness. He has done a great service to all of us by putting to rest any shred of doubt about the worth of GAK materials and is leading the way in setting straight a great wrong and thereby ensuring generations and millions on into the future will have access to unaltered L Ron Hubbard works.
