In appreciation of your recent "revolutionary" work on The Argentine (film) & Guerrilla (film). Great job and keep it up.   Redthoreau (talk) RT 14:55, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Your impressive and invaluable efforts on Che (film) have not gone unnoticed, and represent the essence that all Wikipedia editors should strive to achieve. A job continually well done :o).   Redthoreau (talk)RT 22:18, 14 December 2008 (UTC)


The Original Barnstar
I love Big Trouble in Little China, and when I saw the work you had done on the relevant article, I had to reward your effort somehow. Keep up the great work, and I hope it gets to GA. :) Otumba (talk) 02:13, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
