I've been noticing a number of British politicians' articles showing up under new pages. I just want to thank you for your diligence in helping record world history! Bvlax2005 (talk) 07:09, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
Civility Award
For moving "Oppose, your userbox sux" !vote and subsequent discussion from an RfA to the talk page. VG 00:11, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
The Resilient Barnstar
While I opposed your nomination, I have to commend you for your effort to try a new and different way. It was a gutsy choice---but you are the first person to attempt meaningful change at RfA in a long time and deserve recognition for it. As for Barnstars, I think this is probably the 2nd or 3rd one I've ever given out... so treasure it.---Balloonman PoppaBalloon 14:13, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Dear Ironholds, humongous thanks for your last minute participation in the panel I convened in Gdansk. I don't agree with much of what you said, bit I'm very grateful that we could find someone to say it. ϢereSpielChequers 18:20, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
The Socratic Barnstar
For committing the henious crime of "making sense" in an RFA, as you did here [1]. You should be aware that rationalism is met with distrust around these parts. It is, of course, suggested that you immediately adopt a stance that is more in line with accepted community RFA standards. P.S., you have long since passed the mark where I would support you in an RFA. Hell, I would nominate or co-nom at this point, something I haven't done in a couple years. Give it a some thought.

The 24 Wikiproject Barnstar
For the massive impact that your recent actions have had, and will have, on the articles on Wikipedia in relation to 24, I award you the 24 Wikiproject barnstar. You'll never know just how much of an impact you've had, and how much of a morale booster this is to me, and to my main efforts on Wikipedia for the past 3 1/2 years. I'd nom you for adminship but a) You're already an admin and b) A nom from me is more akin to a death sentence. Be sure to come to Melbourne one day and I'll show you around :) Steven Zhang The clock is ticking.... 13:10, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Sven Manguard's "Completely Safe" Irradiated Barnstar
Not content with distributing ordinary barnstars, I have illegally enriched several ordinary barnstars, for the purposes of rewarding others for outstanding individual achievement. Congratulations, you have just been awarded one of these rare treasures. They glow in the dark, yes, but I'm sure they are perfectly safe.

For selflessly sacrificing your free time in order to sort though deleted contributions for me, and for undeleting an image, and in the process hopefully persuading a valued contributor not to leave Wikipedia over the deletion of said image, I award you this barnstar.

Your use of WikiLove is appreciated and is good for "employee morale". I was reviewing my old ones, and saw one that you gave to me when I was still a frustrated newbie, and it really made a difference for me. I see you pop up on my watchlist rather frequently awarding wiki-love, so I award you the first ever (that I'm aware of) Barnstar Barnstar. Go Phightins! 02:35, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
