A barnstar for you!

 * Oh, I'm humbled. Thank you so much. That's very kind of you! I really like working on the Cucurbita genus.HalfGig (talk) 23:59, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

Intricate biological work

 * WOW. So many thanks to you, Sminth! This means sooo much to me and I GREATLY appreciate it.  HalfGig   talk  14:26, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

It's rather late for Hallowe'en, but here's some pie for you

 * Thank you mam. PUMPKINS are GREAT eating anytime! HalfGig   talk  16:07, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

A puppy for you!
Congratulations on your pending changes reviewer status, and here's a pumpkin-coloured puppy to keep you company! Puppies enjoy pending changes, or changing pendants, or anything of a similar nature.

  Cucurbita

Thank you for quality articles such as Cucurbita and their people, for serving delicious colours gracing the Main page on Thanksgiving, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

 * Wow. Thank you very much . This exceptionally kind of you. I like working with plants.  HalfGig   talk  13:15, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Best wishes for a happy holiday season

 * To you and all.  HalfGig   talk  12:37, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

At last, fruit of your labours

 * Why thank you so much! Not just for the award, but for all your superb help along the way. I certainly did not do it alone. I started Aug 26, 2013, so it took 1 year, 6 months, and 2 days. I THINK this is first non-monotypic genus-level article to make it to FA. It's a good wiki day for us!  HalfGig   talk  02:26, 28 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Congratulations! When do you want that to appear on the Main page. The PumpkinSky project at your service ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:10, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh. thank you very much! Pumpkins on the main page is an appealing thought. Well, there's Canadian and American Thanksgiving. Then because of "The Great Pumpkin" from Peanuts, there's Halloween. I lean to one of the Thanksgiving dates, I think. Any other suggestions?  HalfGig   talk  12:17, 28 February 2015 (UTC)


 * I would also lean toward thanksgiving, - as not scary ;) - will ask. If not they could go any other day in the fall, right? (Hint, hint: views will be limited on Thanksgiving.) You may have seen that I listed it as "any date" in the project planning. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:49, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
 * No, I hadn't noticed that. I'll have to think on this.  HalfGig   talk  12:53, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
 * A couple months ago I discovered "sfn" referencing. I did a couple articles in "sfn" and changed Asa Gray, which I'm still working on, to "sfn". I prefer it because it's easier to read the article when you're editing it. I'll probably change Cucurbita to sfn one day. HalfGig   talk  12:57, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Agree, learned it from PumpkinSky (look!) when we worked on Kafka, my second FA. - references were in my first, Messiah (Handel), but not to the liking of its main authors, unfortunately, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:14, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I first saw "sfn" usage when I was reading the Botany article.  HalfGig   talk  13:17, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Congratulations!

 * Oh my, thank you very much. I truly appreciate this!  HalfGig   talk  12:44, 28 February 2015 (UTC)


 * I'd like to add my congratulations, HalfGig. You worked very hard on this for a long time. Great work, and I look forward to seeing it on the main page. CorinneSD (talk) 16:08, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you. And thank YOU as your copy editing was key to a successful FA.  HalfGig   talk  17:00, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
