For some reason these user Awards pages are regarded as a Good Thing. Other than remembering my colleagues for their kindness, I cannot for the life of me think why.

Barnstar[edit]

I award you the Aviation Barnstar in recognition of your excellent contribution to the 'Wing configurations' article. --TraceyR (talk) 18:26, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Barnstar: Coxeter–Dynkin[edit]

The Barnstar of Diplomacy
Thanks for mediating the discussion over SVG vs PNG formatting and for soliciting interested views (particularly my own Highly Informed View) – this is exemplary Wiki-diplomacy. Particularly praise-worthy are your words “Although it goes against my original thoughts, I am now persuaded.” exhibiting openness in your own thoughts, above and beyond mediating between others. Thank you.

For holding our article edits and corresponding talk page discussions on Three surface aircraft to such high standards, making editing a difficult but highly-rewarding process. Ariadacapo (talk) 05:49, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

Good & strong & black to sort any New Year hangover. Just a thanks for the epic work on Early flying machines...still needs loads of work but you've whacked into a shape where it can be methodically improved TheLongTone (talk) 11:36, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

For protecting and guiding a newbie through a minefield of conflict.

I have now requested a conduct evaluation, citing a few of the comments made towards us. Please feel to join in if there's anything you wish to add. Burninthruthesky (talk) 14:01, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

A cup of tea for you. You have to provide the milk if thats how you take it, i'm afraid.[edit]

Thanks for your sensible (i.e. acting like the dutiul card-carrying member of the anti- Ion Nemes cabal that you are) contribution to the ANI. I do admit to not being as polite as I could have been, but there are limits to my patience! TheLongTone (talk) 14:55, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks![edit]

The Original Barnstar
With much thanks for providing a very informative edit which enhanced understanding of the status in the Book Creator project. LaughingVulcan 05:12, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you![edit]

WP:Refactoring discussions is always hard. I never want to put an editorial slant, but also, I wanted to make clear that all of the discussions on that page were prompted by a discussion which started elsewhere.

If you have a clever way to note the relationship then execute it. If you think that it is misplaced to group them in that way, then please say more. Thanks for speaking up - I did not wish to drive the conversation in a particular direction. Blue Rasberry (talk) 21:12, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

Wikiwings[edit]

A cup of tea for you![edit]

Well, it's wikitea which may explain the lack of milk. I see that you have taken on the thankless task of regularising DH names, a can of worms I lazily opened. Good for you! TheLongTone (talk) 14:41, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

A barnstar for you![edit]

The Books Barnstar
Thank you so much for fighting to keep the books feature on Wikipedia alive. I'm sorry things didn't work out, but your advocacy still means a lot to me! MJLTalk 16:02, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

The Minor Barnstar
Thanks for catching my mistakes and finishing my copyediting on Rotorcraft. Anon423 (talk) 17:40, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you![edit]

Hello, Steelpillow, and thank you for chiming in at Lift-to-drag ratio. Your input at the talk page has been very helpful, and your current reorganization of the page even more so. Thanks and I hope you will keep this page on your watchlist in the future. -- MelanieN (talk) 19:22, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I came here to say the same thing as MelanieN. You've handled a difficult situation with tact, but also firmness when needed. Your last summary at ANI is spot-on. I've been an IP-editor trying to make a change that I know is correct, and hitting a blank wall of polite refusal to take any notice (expressed in the form of repeated reversions), and it's certainly very hard not to get aggressive and emotional. There is no question that the IP editor responded wrongly, but had they not done the work they did (and stuck at it in the face of adversity), we would still have a misleading article. I very much appreciate your putting their words into context. Kindness and politeness are good and important; but if wikipedia becomes the politest but wrongest encyclopaedia, it won't be terribly useful. I sincerely hope everyone else in that debate will follow your example, drop the hostilities, and chalk this up to experience. I don't know the right barn-star template, but I'd give you one if I knew how! Elemimele (talk) 20:30, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
