Thank you for cleaning up the [[[Pernambucan Revolution]]] references for me! OMEN 08:33, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for tidying up my DYK nominations - I have noticed your smartening up most of them recently. It feels a bit like wikistalking, but in a positive way, so thanks. -- ALoan (Talk) 15:29, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your help and pointing my attention to that error [at Duke of Caxias], however, I simply removed the remark about Sao Paulo etc. I left additional comments on that article's talk page. Please try to find any other errors, as the Portuguese article seems very vague and hard to read (as I am not a native speaker of that language, it was even harder).

But anyway, thanks NOVO-REI 16:40, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

		The Copyeditor's Barnstar
		Thanks again for all of your help on the article [Ailanthus altissima]. I like what you did with the pictures in the description section especially. Your copyediting and suggestions will surely help significantly during the FAC process. I hope this kitschy star-shaped (or should we say stellate?) thing will be able to express my gratitude.
