This Special Barnstar is awarded to Philafrenzy and Whispyhistory because you guys write the best hooks!

The Press Barnstar
For participating in an interview for Wired which appeared in the article "How Wikipedia Prevents the Spread of Coronavirus Misinformation". By the way, I was intrigued by the mention of a laser thermometer. I'd like to see a picture of it or one like it, if you've got the time to share one. I was aware that they existed for industrial use but I didn't know that medical versions existed. Regards, ↠Pine (✉) 20:30, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
