The Special Barnstar

You are absolutely amazing thank you so much!,

I was trying to add the Archive stuff in a way that made sense and couldn't and BOOM you come along and do those as well as obviously the main requesting page,

If we ever meet I really would buy you every single alcoholic drink of your choice in that pub!!,

You went above and beyond which goes a long way in my book and without a doubt I greatly appreciate what you've just done so thanks so much!,

Many thanks again Steel!, Take care and stay safe, Thanks, Regards –Davey2010^Talk 21:08, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

A section that is now a DYK section

On 13 April 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Kick (association football), which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that 265 million people kick a football in association football matches every year? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Kick (association football). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
