The Special Barnstar
This barnstar is awarded to Tony for honesty. He wrote "I have stated on the talk page why this is a very bad time to be defacing the article with pejorative tags. Ms. Johansson's page is highly visible with a regular audience of 8-10K viewers per day and a ramp up in her audience is visible (http://stats.grok.se/en/201004/Scarlett_Johansson ) as the publicity for Iron Man 2, which opens on Friday" Rather than make up wikilawyering excuses for why he didn't want a tag, he was honest and gave the real reason. Honest tea and honesty is the best policy. Suomi Finland 2009 (talk) 15:08, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

The 200 DYK Medal
Is it true that the US constitution requires that a president cannot serve more than two terms? I am told that this is true. What I want to know is the reason. I'm told that the reason is that people are worried that we may run out of Washingtom based wikiarticles if they served three terms. True or false? Maybe we will need to wait for a later TTT article. Joking aside ... this is currently the highest DYK award ... and you have it. Thanks from me and the wiki Victuallers (talk) 17:36, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

i strongly second the thoughts of daniel. your efforts and leadership specifically regarding WPChi, stub creation, article improvement, template creation, and article reviews support several of the core values of wikipedia....create an easily navigable, comprehensive, and well referenced encyclopedia. improving the actual encyclopedia is much more important to the overall effort than swinging the admin mop around and kicking over the policy bucket. since barnstars are passe, enlarge the city flag to suit your needs and hold it high.--LurkingInChicago 01:01, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

The Barnstar of Diligence
I award you this Barnstar of Diligence for all your fantastic work improving the quality of Wikipedia on the "front line". It's sad that sometimes people are not recognised for improving the encyclopedia directly at the same frequency of those who do more prominent jobs in other namespaces, and it is an imbalance of truly epic proportions if this perception is true. You and people like you deserve all you get and more, because you are the one who makes Wikipedia a better encyclopædia. Cheers, Daniel 08:31, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
