This is just a small token of my appreciation for the time you took away from your busy schedule to review the Garage rock article. I represents not only my thanks, but I'm sure that of countless others you have helped in similar ways. Since they don't have a star with faders on it, I thought this one would look really nice. Garagepunk66 (talk) 07:13, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
The Original Barnstar
I award this barnstar for the massive work you've done cleaning up after Legolas2186. Your effort should be more widely known. Without your work both Wikipedia and those that use it would be much worse off! :bloodofox: (talk) 22:37, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

Mark Miller (talk) 02:34, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
