The Appalachia Barnstar
15 years after you first created WikiProject Appalachia, it has a barnstar and a new look. There is no user as deserving of this award as you are. So, as a gesture of my great appreciation for everything you have done: I am proud to award you with the first ever Appalachia Barnstar. It is fitting that the first goes to the first.

The Original Barnstar
Thanks for the great article on Theodore Schleier. You did a tremendous amount of digging and it's an excellent reference. 850 C (talk) 19:35, 24 July 2015 (UTC)



The Biography Barnstar
Thanks for the much needed article on Constant Puyo. There was a definite gap in the documentation of pictorial photographers before you added it. Lexaxis7 (talk) 21:04, 23 November 2011 (UTC)



The Content Creativity Barnstar
For a solid well-developed new NRHP article on Briceville Community Church. That's how I do it, and how I like to see it done. Daniel Case (talk) 17:37, 17 February 2010 (UTC)


The Biography Barnstar
BrineStans deserves this barnstar for accepting the challenge of creating a biography article about Alexander Arthur -- and doing a nice job of it. Orlady (talk) 03:18, 14 December 2009 (UTC)


The Original Barnstar
For your very professional edits to Appalachian music, I hereby award this very well-deserved barnstar. Keep up the great work! TTS51207 (talk) 19:11, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

The Epic Barnstar
I hereby award you, User:BrineStans, the Epic Barnstar, for fine contributions in the field of history, on a wide range of articles including Overhill Cherokee, Tellico Blockhouse, Toqua (Tennessee), Icehouse Bottom, and particularly Henry Timberlake. Your contributions to Wikipedia are very much appreciated! -- PEPSI2786talk 07:42, 1 February 2008 (UTC)



The Epic Barnstar
I award you the Epic Barnstar for creating the excellent article about the prehistoric site Tomotley. Oceanh (talk) 22:58, 4 February 2008 (UTC)



This Dreamcatcher is hereby awarded to BrineStans in recognition of contributions to recognizing and documenting the indigenous people of the United States in Wikipedia, both through researching and contributing new articles (such as Overhill Cherokee) and through correcting errors and misconceptions in existing articles (such as your recent edits in Knoxville, Tennessee).

Keep up the good work.

The Photographer's Barnstar
I'm not sure how far you went out of your way, but the important thing is that you did. And we're not talking here of a few extra clicks, but getting out of the chair, finding a map and visiting somewhere. He's not Elvis of JFK but William Forster gave his life for equality. You have assisted him in getting a bit of the memory he deserves. Cheers. The Wiki and I salute you. Victuallers (talk) 16:55, 23 September 2008 (UTC)




The Biography Barnstar
I hereby award you this Barnstar for your work on John Randolph Neal, Jr.: well-written, and a fascinating read! Ohconfucius ¡digame! 06:37, 26 September 2011 (UTC)




The Barnstar of Diligence
BrineStans deserves commendation for his efforts to clean up about a gazillion (OK, I'm exaggerating a little) bad reference links in citations to articles in the Tennessee Encyclopedia of History and Culture, and for performing numerous other minor acts of article and citation cleanup along the way. Orlady (talk) 19:35, 12 February 2013 (UTC)




The Epic Barnstar
I award User:BrineStans for the expansion of the Jean Bureau article. Keep up the good work! Lenticel (talk) 00:36, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for creating Biggersville, Mississippi, and for improving so many Mississippi articles. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:59, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
