be as enticing.

I think we can run with Lila's quote here to complement the title and the
underlying caption copy.

f/g: "This award honors those volunteers - the editors, photographers,
writes, and developers - who make Wikipedia possible."

t:  Wikipedia receives one of the most important honours in the world, the
Princess of Asturias Award:
