Dream #1
To paraphrase Martin Luther King:"I have a dream that editors in Wikipedia will one day contribute in an encyclopedia where they will not be judged by their userpage identifiers or by their ethnic origins but by the content of their edits."

Dream #2
Reduce Bureaucracy in Wikipedia and use WP:AGF and WP:COMMONSENSE more often

Thank you for quality articles on Greece and many other subjects, for taking care of precision and factuality in articles, for, for knowing the whispering winds of history, for , - repeating: you are an awesome Wikipedian (16 January 2010)! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:08, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * LOL. I had no idea about this barnstar. :) It is a nice-looking barnstar and, coming from you Neil, it is an honour. Thank you very much. Take care. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 06:01, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
 * A well deserved barnstar. It's all too rare that someone actually steps up and adds citations. Thanks for making the point that it is possible! --Djembayz (talk) 21:18, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Precious anniversary
--Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:30, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much Gerda for the reminder. It's been already three years. That's an eternity in wiki terms. :) Always nice seeing you around. :) Take care. Dr.   K.  18:51, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

recalling past punch-ups
Hi Dr K.

I remember you from some rather fierce debates we had in the past around Greece articles - fierce but never nasty which is rather rare on Wikipedia. This time we appear to be on the same page on the Turkish coup article. Let's agree to maintain the fierceness and the fairness if we meet again (either on the same side, or on opposing sides of an argument). After all, Wikipedia has far too few people who can argue at the PhD level. Let's go with the odd tradition of Wikipedia and put, what according to me, is a fitting barnstar to this Cheers.

 * Thank you very much Arnoutf for the nice words and the barnstar, although I don't recall any "fierce" debates with you. In fact, if I remember well, I think most of the time I tend to agree with you. In the odd time we may have had a disagreement, I don't remember anything strong about it and my respect for you is undiminished. Thank you for keeping the encyclopedia safe. :) Take care.

Persian Gulf Medal of Honor

 * Thank you very much Sadeq for this very nice barnstar in such an interesting area. It is a very nice gesture and I really appreciate it. Thank you also for your excellent work on these topics. It is a pleasure working with you. Take care. Dr.   K.  23:22, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

This Barnstar is for you!

 * Thank you very much SR for this nice gesture. I really appreciate it. I will add the barnstar to my collection soon. :) Thank you also for all you do in this project. Take care.  Dr.   K.  17:16, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

This Barnstar is for you!

 * Hahaha! Thank you so much SR. I had no clue there was such a barnstar. It just shows your resourcefulness. As far as the typo, it's endemic in this business. It happens to everyone. Even to editors like yourself who rarely, if ever, make tyops. Oops! Dr.   K.  16:55, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * Thank you so much . You saved my day today, and you are one of the great admins of this project. I think you deserve an admin's barnstar, but I'll reserve this for the future, since you beat me in awarding a barnstar today. :) I never knew this very nice barnstar existed, and it is a very pleasant surprise, especially coming from you. :) Take care.  Dr.   K.  20:12, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I completely agree with AO's presentation of this barnstar. You should not have had to deal with this harassment. I hope that the rest of your week goes much better. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 19:58, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much Marnette, for your encouragement, which I really appreciate. I don't know how this happens, but, once in a while, all the wiki trolls wake up and make mischief. It's like an unofficial Halloween for trolls. However, since I've seen activity like this before, I am not really surprised. I was also lucky today, because of the fast response of some outstanding admins. It is nice to know we have these editors around. Dr.   K.  20:12, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Precious four years!

 * Thank you very much Gerda. As the seasons change, your welcome presence and elegant gifts are all the more appreciated. Take care. Dr.   K.  21:54, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

The 100 DYK Creation and Expansion Medal

 * Dear evrik, what a welcome surprise, especially in such rather bleak times. The wiki works in mysterious ways. After such a long time, instead of my DYK contributions being forgotten, I get such a nice award for them. I hope you and yours keep well and stay safe. Take care. Dr. K. 04:19, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Barnstar!

 * Thank you so much Bailo26 for the great looking award and your nice words. All in a day of reverting the scourge of vandalism and cleaning up BLP violations. Take care and stay safe. Dr.   K.  00:43, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
