Barnstar Bin
I'm awarding you this barn star as a gesture of appreciation for your contributions. Wikidudeman (talk) 14:59, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
To both Cool Hand Luke and Kurykh, for stopping the Michael Moore stuff at WP:ANI from getting (too) out of hand. ANI shouldn't be the place to argue COI and external link policies. David Fuchs (talk) 13:07, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
I'm much better at being a pain in the butt than in showing appreciation. And thanks for the unblock, too...[F]or civility and grace in bringing me your objections, reasoning and advice in a recent controversy. Even where I continued to disagree, I found your messages helped me to think about some issues and even eventually change my mind about some things. Your attitude exemplifies what "getting along with others", "assume good faith", and "keep cool" is all about. And it was inspiring. You set a great example. Thanks!

For presenting painstaking, brilliant and compelling statistical evidence in the Mantanmoreland case. SilkTork *What's YOUR point? 20:17, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
For being an all around decent fellow and an excellent editor and admin. David Shankbone 00:04, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
For placing the integrity of the ArbCom election process ahead of your own finish in it, when faced with a possible canvassing campaign against a fellow candidate.[1] Thank you for upholding this site's highest ideals of honor and fair play. DurovaCharge! 05:52, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Frank, a Salt Laker in exile.

I started editing February 7, 2004, and I've been an administrator since October 25, 2004.

From 2009–2011, I was a member of English Wikipedia's Arbitration Committee, our dispute resolution mechanism of last resort.

I'm only half jaded. I love when new editors discover Wikipedia and want to contribute to subjects they love. My goal is to give them a better hello than a rollback and template nastygram.
