User:Frickative

Hi, I'm Melissa. I first edited Wikipedia on 22 April 2005, though didn't begin editing regularly until February 2007. My main contributions are to the Glee task force, and Holby and EastEnders WikiProjects. I'm also interested in, and have contributed to a lesser extent to articles related to Coronation Street, Doctor Who, Grey's Anatomy, and Lost.

Offline, I work in research. I was born in 1987, and have an MA in History from the University of Edinburgh. I live in the East Midlands, but would love to go back to Edinburgh someday. (I even had a discreet TARDIS outside my flat!)

The Original Barnstar
(to add to your long list of Barnstars yet to come). For your work on List of characters in Holby City and in general all your Holby based articles, making the articles as groovy as the programme itself is! steveking89 23:02, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
The All Around Amazing Barnstar

The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
This is for the many times you've helped me edit articles and your willingness to do so. The many times you've answered my many questions or given me your opinions. Plus making certain character articles so fact filled and interesting. Raintheone (talk) 13:20, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
For all the fantastic work you've done with the episodes, characters and everything else pertaining to Glee! Keep it up. :) —97198 (talk) 17:47, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
The Real-world perspective Barnstar
For your work on the article Wellard, which I never thought could go beyond what was already written, you deserve a RWP barnstar! AnemoneProjectors (talk) 15:48, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
The TV Star
For your regular quality edits to television-related articles, especially your work on Glee episode articles. Television episode articles are so often extended plot summaries or sloppy collections of uncited trivia lists, so it's great to see the well-sourced, well-written works with strong "Production" sections like the ones you are turning out. I know some people think TV episode articles are of marginal importance, but as an obsessive South Park and Parks and Recreation episode article editor myself, I truly feel having quality articles of these types are the difference between a good online encyclopedia and a great, comprehensive one. Keep up the good work! — Hunter Kahn 06:43, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Too often great editors like you are overlooked and not given the credit deserved for all their great contributions. So I am awarding you this barnstar to let you know I greatly appreciate all you do for Wikipedia, and please keep up the outstanding work!! Also a special thank you for getting me out of my slump, and making my break last only four days by showing you do appreciate me/care! Thanks! CTJF83 chat 03:01, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
The Gleek Barnstar
For your quality contributions to Glee-related articles, including countless GAs and DYKs. I have to say I'm quite impressed with the thing you do of coming into an episode article and writing damn good critical response and music sections. (I suppose it helps when you have a degree in the arts.) You keep it up too, eh? :D Yves (talk) 02:43, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

I knew you quite well, but not as much as I have wanted to. I hope you'll forgive me for that. ^___^ MayhemMario 13:52, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

A little late, but I wanted to thank you for your contributions to Meredith Grey - you did an exceptional job at trimming the "Storylines" section. Your resolve and hard work are greatly appreciated! I hope you and I get the opportunity to work together in the future :) Murmuration (talk) 04:57, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
