  • Thanks Brianboulton for producing so much wonderful work. And the interview shows you're pretty wise as well! Congratulations on these achievements. Johnuniq (talk) 04:10, 24 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • Thanks to Brianboulton but also thanks to The Signpost for this very enlightening interview. Am I mistaken but it seems as if individual interviews in The Signpost are pretty infrequent. There must be plenty of people whose interview would make interesting content. Thanks for persistent existence! - kosboot (talk) 18:37, 24 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • What a wonderful article! I would love to meet you. Thank you Eddie891 for writing this piece. I think I also had Ms. Tinkler as my piano teacher. Best Regards, Barbara (WVS)   15:14, 25 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

  • Congratulations on the milestone! There are so many gems in that list—quite the inspiration—but even that effort may be outshined by your continued FAC reviews, helping others achieve the same. While I appreciated the interview, I can't help but feel that the trivia questions (favorite contribs, pet peeve) belie the actual wisdom behind writing 100 featured articles... For anyone who's listening, I'd be interested in a compilation of research and writing tips/reflections from FA stalwarts: what they've learned about sourcing, revision, working with other editors, killing your darlings, even choosing topics based on available source material. czar 15:16, 26 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • Glad to see I'm not the only oldtimer still around & active. -- llywrch (talk) 07:57, 27 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
