Barnstars

		The Working Man's Barnstar
		Your outstanding work with the images in the infoboxes is truly appreciated and therefore I award this barnstar as a small way to expres my thanks. Tony the Marine (talk) 15:06, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

		The Barnstar of Diplomacy
		This award is presented during, not after, your work to resolve the intractable disputes that have paralyzed 1953 Iranian coup d'état. Your decision to pick up a third opinion request was followed immediately by the realization that the task would be far beyond the one of mediating between two editors—you saw that you would be mediating between two factions of multiple editors, and yet you decided to stay in the middle and coordinate, intelligently, a resolution. Thank you! Your diplomacy is much appreciated. Binksternet (talk) 14:51, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

		The Third Opinion Award
		Nice job. Appreciate the reasoning. — Manway (talk) 04:57, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

		The Third Opinion Award
		Thanks for the leap, Work permit, and AGF for the digit awarded. CasualObserver'48(talk) 01:06, 31 March 2010 (UTC) — CasualObserver'48(talk) 01:06, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

		Civility Award
		I must say that you have been a breath of fresh air on 1953 coup page. We may not agree on many issues, but you are polite and considerate in disagreements, and I truly believe we can work together to improve the article. --Kurdo777 (talk) 06:54, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

		The Third Opinion Award
		From one good guy to another, with gratitude for your support on TVBH. — Textorus (talk) 14:59, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

My instinct was to Delete it. I fixed it instead. Something I try to do regularly.

• Essentially Created a new article on Alfred Winslow Jones from this
• Royal College of Science, Arts and Commerce from This

First time I was about to push the wp:csd button, repaired instead. Please see Deletionism and inclusionism in Wikipedia

• Lee Savold fromThis
• Engelhard from this
• Last minute grammatical changes [1] to Gadsden Purchase half dollar before it became today's FA. First time I had a hand at strictly grammar.
• Some more extensive grammatical changes [2] to Fred Astaire

DYK articles I wrote or expanded

• ...that heavyweight boxer Joe Baksi recorded nine victories in his first year as a professional, including one over future actor Jack Palance?
  

I didn't know about DYK. I just expanded the article, and discovered someone nominated it. That felt so cool, I went off to expand another article, specifically...

• ...that Alfred Winslow Jones, father of the hedge fund industry, was a sociologist who obtained his idea to start a fund while writing an article for Fortune magazine?

DYK articles I helped edit

• ...that Gregory S. Martin (pictured) was the first non-Navy officer nominated to head the U.S. Pacific Command, but withdrew after Senator John McCain questioned whether he had "the quality to command"?

Here are my Edits. I was especially proud of finding McCain's quote "Now I question whether you have the quality to command"' that I then used in the hook.

• ...that the Foedus Cassianum, named after the negotiator, Spurius Cassius, was the first of many foedera signed by Rome?

I made Foedus Cassianum from this, and learned ALOT in the process. Before this article, I thought foedera was a hat.

DYK articles I nominated

• ...that during the 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine, the Palestine Police Force (fort pictured) was augmented by the Jewish Settlement Police, Jewish Supernumerary Police and the Special Night Squads?

I just liked the picture.

• ... that a revolution in 1688 in the Kingdom of Siam (modernday Thailand) severed virtually all ties with the Western world for nearly two centuries?

Because, no..I didn't know that. Foreign relations were reestablished by King Mongkut, who was the insipration for The King and I
