A barnstar for you! edit

  The Original Barnstar
Thank you for taking the time to collect a fair number of resources on the submarines. I'm sure there are more, but they'll be much harder to find. --Sp33dyphil ©hatontributions 22:10, 1 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

A barnstar for you! edit

  The Citation Barnstar
I'm waiving the guideline on the usage on this barnstar, and decided to give you one of these for your collection of submarine resources. (I told you I'd give out two!). --Sp33dyphil ©hatontributions 22:11, 1 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Coffin Ships edit

Re deleting the split tag, I am trying to clear up a large backlog of these split tags. Looking at it again, I was wrong and I am not sure why I deleted it. On the other hand, it is clear that you do have support, would you be willing to do the split? If not then I will do it when I get round to it, but I think you would do a better job than me.

Valiyapally redirect edit

Dear benzband, in regard to your answer on my talk page, I wanted a direct link like that so that I can easily recommend it to people in messages/newspaper advertisements.It's easier for people to type StMarysOrthodoxValiyapally than http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Mary's_Orthodox_Valiyapally as there are no underscores in the former.

Can you create the redirect for me? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sanjeevgeorge123 (talkcontribs) 09:52, 15 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Although it was not necessary, it was greatly appreciated... and also, it was my first PunkY muZic barnYstarY (the three capital "Y"s stand for "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!!!") ... (^____^).
Anyway, that was a GREAT idea of yours, so I'm going to return the favour:
