I, Natalinasmpf hereby award you the **Exceptional Newcomer** award for being amazingly insightful, disinterested in heated arguments and amazing impartiality in a traditional minefield of POV while showing exceptional implementation of Wikipedia policy.

Barnstar

A Mediation Barnstar

A Barnstar awarded by Striver on 17 October 2006 to BostonMA for keeping his cool and staying on topic during a tough mediation on the Muhammad article talk page regarding the use of pictures on that article. Impressive and inspiring!

PS: I love your "Industrial Sabotage of Wikipedia?" section on the user page! --Striver 06:42, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My pleasure :) --Striver 22:19, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the Barnstar!

I appreciate the Barnstar and also your concern. I do know that it is improper to throw around sockpuppet accusations with using CheckUser first. Mattisse (talk) 00:01, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good call

➨ **ЯEDVERS** awards this Barnstar to **BostonMA** for tolerance, reasonableness and a commitment to WP:NPOV and dispute resolution that I envy and admire.

To **BostonMA** for a rational and thoughtful approach to resolution of disputes. Your ability to keep cool is admired -- **Samir** धर्म 01:44, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! Good call on the talk page of that article! I've still nominated it for AfD, but I have reviewed my position on it quite considerably and am doing so for advice, not to make a point.

I'm very impressed with your WP:NPOV thinking, even if I don't agree with your final decisions, and I'm very impressed with your ability to immediately diffuse an edit war. I haven't looked at your contribs or the like, (and you may already be an admin) but would you consider being nominated for adminship? It seems from your temprement and ability that you are what Wikipedia needs and that you could use the tools. Let me know if you're interested/if I'm too late/too early/other.

Thanks... I've been a bit down on Wikipedia of late: you've helped pick me up! I'm off to bed now, somewhat happier! :o) ➨ ЯEDVERS 20:45, 21 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Have a second one also! Your cool demeanour and thoughtful approach to problem solving is appreciated around the wiki. Take care -- Samir धर्म 01:44, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Its true, and it was my own stupid fault. I'm hoping this mediation will resolve the issue. Thanks for your concern though --Irishpunktom\^talk 11:28, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

thanks!

When I started my second editor review, I had no idea how greatly helpful it would be to me. Here are people from across the world who I've never met or laid eyes upon, taking their personal time to think about me and offer me valuable criticism and advice. And the stuff I've learnt is more helpful in real life than just on Wikipedia. This is an experiment I will never forget. I thank you most sincerely for your kindness, for helping me be a better person. I am very much in your debt. Rama's arrow 15:47, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thank you, that was some hard work it is almost done now. Let me know what you think--Seadog ^Talk 00:41, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for your approval, I am usually slow in answering questions and that is okay by me if you are to! I usually get caught up in alot of things and usually forget about the question. By the way if you don't mind me asking are you Hindu. The reason why I ask this is because you sent out Happy Diwali messages to everybody. If you are not then simply thank you for taking the time to wish everybody a happy Diwali--Seadog ^Talk 22:17, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Cool Guy

Bhadani presents you, BostonMA the BS Barnstar for being an excellent person. --Bhadani 15:36, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I marvel at your ability to maintain your cool, calmness, and composure despite being in difficult positions. I wish you that you continue to be so! --Bhadani 15:36, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is also strange that you are not aware of a situation which many Indian wikipedians including me are facing: Many do not like Indians to maintain India-related pages. I am reconciled to this strange and bizarre position! --Bhadani 15:36, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reference - BS Barnstar

OMG. Please do not get up set – I presented you the barnstar afte reading its description : here, and its meaning is: [1]. And, now you are under an "obligation" to give me a BS barnstar in return. I not only think but definitely know that you are an excellent person. --Bhadani 12:36, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bhadani. Do not fear that you have offended me, you have not. It is I who should apologize for misunderstanding the meaning of the slogan and causing you to worry. There is a Thanksgiving holiday in the US. It happens less these days, but from time to time I have been invited to dine with friends and feast upon a bird. Although I decline this gift because of my diet, I must still recognize the gift as a gift, made sincerely, and perhaps even with love. I know your gift is genuine, and I tried to accept it as I understood it, and I am sorry that I misunderstood. (misunderstanading based on summary here) Now I owe you a barnstar, and I shall choose one presently. --BostonMA ^talk 14:11, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Hi Boston. I am not sure of my worth as you are perhaps weighing me in gold. Still, I am thankful to you and accept your gift on behalf of the community of wikipedians. I also thank you for reposing your confidence in me. Yes, we are proud to be members of the most vibrant virtual community of human history! Regards. --Bhadani 13:34, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
