| RobertP6165 was the primary creator of the [[alternate history:Turtledove Awards]]. He created the various award categories and the requirements for the award which have been used, with modifications, each year, and was, with [[offtopic:Scarecrow]], the designer of the original award graphic (Scarecrow designed the actual Turtledove trophy part of the graphic, while RobertP6165 did everything else)which was presented to the winners each year until 2012, when it was finally replaced by a new version. He also, up through 2007, served as the moderator who set up the election polls for the awards. | RobertP6165 was the primary creator of the [[alternate history:Turtledove Awards]].

| Ironically, despite his reputation as the board's pre-eminent "neo-Confederate," his primary contributions to the board have had little to do with the American Civil War. Instead, the timelines written by robertp6165 which have become most famous among other board members have been set in ancient and medieval times, such as his Ancient Egyptian, Hittite, Inca and Arthurian timelines, as well as his ongoing ASB project based on Horatio Nelson and the H.M.S. VICTORY being transported to Anglo Saxon England. | Ironically, despite his reputation as the board's pre-eminent "neo-Confederate," his primary contributions to the board have had little to do with the American Civil War.
