		The Barnstar of Integrity
		In recognition of a brave decision by Bureaucrat WJBscribe to promote Bsadowski to Administrator, I award you with this token of my esteem. Working closely as I do with with this new admin on an anti-vandalism IRC channel, I can attest to Brian's fine work blocking sockpuppets who would otherwise be damaging the encyclopedia. A gutsy yet thoughtful call on your part! Again, I salute you, and my best wishes to you always. Jusdafax 05:20, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

		The Admin's Barnstar
		Many thanks for efficiently clearing a big backlog at WP:RFD. The Whispering Wind (talk) 00:36, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

		The Bureaucrat's Barnstar
		Time and time again, the bureaucrats of en-wiki demonstrate their levelheadedness and expertise. Like an anesthesiologist in an operating room, you spend most of your time screwing around reading a magazine, but stand ready to spring into action when needed, only to fade into the background once your important work is done. Or perhaps that's more like Batman? Whatever your preferred metaphor, I am consistently impressed by the bureaucrat corps. Thank you for your service. HiDrNick! 12:46, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

		The Socratic Barnstar
		Reading through the cacophony various points and counterpoints at the recent Arbcom discussion I found yours to be consistently on point and addressing not only the issue at hand but keeping an eye to future outcomes and precedent. They were insightful, exceptionally well thought out, and I believe contributed greatly to the overall discussion. It is my pleasure to award you (yet another, but equally deserved) Socratic Barnstar. ~Mifter (talk) 02:07, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

	The Barnstar of Diplomacy
	I appreciate your contributions regarding my topic ban as well as your thoughts on Arbitration Enforcement. --MONGO 13:20, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

	The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar

	The Bureaucrat's Barnstar

	For defending our community values! Randykitty (talk) 08:50, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

The Special Barnstar

For your resysopping of Floq, You're one of those admins that simply stays out of all drama and to my knowledge you've never came in and done something like this I guess, I absolutely agree with what Floq said you did this because you believed you were correct and that it was the correct thing to do and I think I can say without a doubt the community are right behind you and obviously the majority do think what you've done is honourable and correct, Anyway babbling on - Many thanks for reysopping Floq and also many thanks for your valued contributions here, Take care, –Davey2010Talk 11:36, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

Recall

I believe that those granted additional user rights by the community should be required to maintain some basic level of confidence. I recognise that often the right decision can be unpopular and that too strict a recall process might result in excessive timidity in how people use these additional rights, which would be undesirable. I don't therefore think the level of consensus needed to pass an Request for Adminship (or Request for Bureaucratship) must be demonstrated again should the question of recall arise.

However, I do think that (at the very least) the confidence of a simple majority of the community should be maintained. Accordingly, should it be demonstrated that I no longer enjoy the confidence of a majority of the community (i.e. 50% +1) in a representative discussion, I do not believe it would be appropriate for me to continue as an administrator or bureaucrat of this project.
