The "Did You Know...?" Reviewer's Barnstar

Thank you for your work in evaluating articles that are submitted for review so they can be mentioned in the DYK section of Wikipedia’s Main Page. I have often wondered why reviewers often don't get accolades for their work since they often put in as much time as those who improve content. The effort needed to participate in this area of Wikipedia is significant. I don't think most other editors realize what a service you are doing to help showcase new, expanded or recently promoted GA articles. Barbara

It was a disappointment to see you withdraw from RFA, but I hope you will learn from the experience so you could run again.

I'm sorry to see the trouble you're having with DYK. If it means anything I've not bothered with DYK in a long time now, as articles usually end up being targetted. Overall you're a very valuable contributor to wikipedia, and given your workload, errors are inevitable from even the best editors. What they don't understand is that the work you do is really among the most important on the site, general quality improvement, which not enough people are doing. So people should be trying to help you, not deter you. I hope my contests anyway will be enough to keep up your motivation for editing. You deserve better than this. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:49, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

I'm really excited about the prospect of a high-level general interest article like Sea becoming a featured article! I know, I wasn't able to support (nor oppose), and I do hope the discrepancy (between what most articles seem to mean when they link to "Sea" and what the article mainly concerns) is eventually resolved. But I wish all the best for the article, sincerely.

Also, I notice that desert is a GAN, and I am very tempted to review... but "desert" is such a broad article with so many diverse facets that it's intimidating for me even to review (and I think other reviewers feel the same). I can only imagine the work it took to get it into the great shape that it's in.

Thanks for improving such important articles! All the best, – Quadell ^(talk) 11:19, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

	The Writer's Barnstar
	Your work on Birth is an excellent improvement of a very important topic (presumably on the vital articles list somewhere, and at any rate gets more than 1/8 million yearly views) and I commend your thoughtfulness in noticing the need and then acting on it. (A second barnstar for the same achievement is well deserved!) --Demiurge1000 (talk) 20:40, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

	The Editor's Barnstar
	This has to be the single best edit I've seen in a long time. Such a basic article, and you've gotten it to a decent quality. Good job! Shame the Core Contest isn't running now. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:32, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

I realize you already got a ton of barnstars, but I just have to give you kudos for drastically improving the Amphibian article, so I baked you this pie.
