The Golden Wiki Award
|
| Few editors write DYKs. Fewer write GAs. And fewer still write FAs. I myself have been an editor here for almost two years and I've only managed to write one GA and two or three DYKs. Many of our colleagues never even achieve that. But not only do you write all three types of articles, you do it on a regular basis, and in one of the most neglected sections of the encyclopedia. Your contributions are of a professional level of excellence, both comprehensive and concise, yet fascinating and engrossing. Your collection of Song Dynasty articles remains one of the most remarkable accomplishments in Wikipedia's history. Only the featured topic on the Solar system, crafted by many editors over a long stretch of time, rivals this feat.
And yet you never lose your cool or your edge. Always friendly and diplomatic, you've proved refreshingly receptive and thoughtful towards suggestions for improvement and article critique. Your ability to consistently produce consistently fantastic content, escaping the drama and hubbub other prolific editors seem to find themselves in, while maintaining a level of scholarship that makes a fellow history major go "Damn...", you've become an example for other Wikipedians, including this one, to follow.
I often hear people criticize Wikipedia's content - its systemic biases, its tragic imbalance towards video games and entertainment, its inaccuracies and mistakes. In these cases, I'm proud to be able to point to your contributions and prove them wrong. For this, not to mention everything else I've mentioned, you most clearly deserve this award.

The Epic Barnstar
|
| I cannot recall if I have ever given you a barnstar for your work here, but you definitely deserve one. You are one of Wikipedia's finest editors. You have written over two dozen "Featured Articles" about various important historical subjects including Augustus, Cleopatra, the Parthian Empire, the Tang Dynasty, and ancient Egyptian literature; whereas, in all my time here, I never succeeded in writing even one "Featured Article." Although we have had a few disagreements from time-to-time, I admire you for your seemingly indefatigable efforts to improve the quality of articles here on Wikipedia. —Katolophyromai (talk) 00:52, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

Scholarly Barnstar
|
| Your fine contributions to the project based on high-quality academic sources, including your contributions to articles from the contentious WP:BALKANS topic area, not only is remarkable and truly inspiring, but has even resulted in some of the most sensitive articles of the last decade becoming GA or FA, a feat considered unthinkable several years ago. Keep up the good work! - ❖ SilentResident ❖ (talk ✉ | contribs ✎) 00:14, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
