Dear Dank, Brianboulton, Ealdgyth, Ed, Jimfbleak, Nikkimaria, and Noleander, - I could not have brought the Mark Satin bio up to Featured Article status without the unique contributions (not to mention tact and patience) of each of you. I am probably two to three times your age, and not at home with this technology. But working with you gave me a glimpse of a beautiful 21st century world in which individual initiative, collectively honed, can produce socially (in)valuable work that is also first-rate. God bless! - Babel41 (talk) 23:48, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi Noleander, thanks for the review at the recent FA nomination for Chrisye. Your prose edits helped tremendously, and the spotcheck helped show that this write-up - the most complete English-language write-up in existence - is entirely verifiable. In thanks, I'd like to give you a local brew: Bintang Beer. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:22, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Noleander! You assisted in various ways on the Paul McCartneyFAC. Thank you! Without your help and support McCartney would not be a FA today! There really should be a reviewer's barnstar, because I think you would accumulate several! Great review, nicely done, extremely helpful! ~ GabeMc(talk|contribs) 21:34, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for getting attention for a math constant, Pi, on the Main page, and for your quality activity in articles, reviews and proposals with a sense for teamwork, - you are an awesome Wikipedian! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:37, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
I've been very critical of WP:DRN, calling it essentially worthless, but your behavior has been the exception that shows how the process should go. Instead of counting hands and slapping whoever is in the minority, you work to come up with a reasonable compromise that tries to resolve the underlying dispute. You're not in some all-fired rush to close each complaint and you're even willing to get your hands dirty by editing the article boldly. The end result is that your efforts improve articles, which is what dispute resolution is supposed to be for. Keep up the good work! Still-24-45-42-125 (talk) 02:08, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Editor of the Week
Editor of the WeekFor the week beginning February 22, 2026. Had four FAs promoted last year. They have also found time last year to carry out 50 thoughtful, collegiately phrased, and rigorous reviews at FAC to enable and encourage others to take articles to FA status and easing the role of the FAC coordinators no end. An unassuming but industrious and skilled Wikipedian. Recognized for: returning to FAC after their 12-year hiatus. Notable work(s):Bridge, James Cook and Margaret Sanger.
For your 60k+ edits spanning over two decades. Amazing stuff indeed so keep it going! Volten001☎ 07:24, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

The Special Barnstar
Thanks for getting the Nile river into FA status and its appearance on the main page! I always thought the Nile was only historically important in ancient Egypt, but now with this article, I have learnt so much more! (including the unfortunate politics surrounding it... RIP)
BTW, many of the articles that link from the Nile, such as List of river systems by length, Tributary, Headwaters, and Lake Victoria are poorly sourced, a stark contrast to the Nile article. As a suggestion for your "next big thing", perhaps you might want to start work on those articles?
For mentoring this teenager through FAC while he still finds even reviewing articles a daunting task with all the coursework at school and beyond. A month ago, it would not have been possible but for a bit of extra motivation. And then again, for all the vital articles you have brought and aim to bring through FAC. Your work and support is appreciated. MSincccc (talk) 07:12, 29 July 2026 (UTC)
