This is an archive of barnstars, thanks-yous, and other compliments that made me feel good about editing Wikipedia.

A barnstar for you!

 * Thanks a lot! Howicus (talk) 22:33, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for watching out for my user and user talk page and reverting vandalism. I have been offline for almost an entire day so it would have sat there. It is amazing that some vandals are so jaded that they will vandalize the user pages of anyone who catches them. Donner60 (talk) 01:51, 23 May 2013 (UTC

Good job policing Xxxtendo
I saw more activity and went to request a block, but I saw you'd already done it! High five! Your justice was restrained, but swift when appropriate. Qwerty0 (talk) 04:16, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, thanks! That could be a superhero's tag line.  "Justice is restrained, but swift where appropriate" *Flies away, roll credits*. Howicus (talk) 04:20, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

For You

 * Thanks! I need to catch a game with the Armenian National Football team in it, and look for the 43 identical midfielders :) Howicus (talk) 22:26, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Civility is always appreciated

 * Wow, thanks. That really makes me feel good about editing, I mean it. Howicus (talk) 19:54, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
Thanks! Howicus (talk) 18:15, 18 July 2013 (UTC) Note: the ref in question is at Wikipedia_talk:Articles for creation/Spinomantis brunae (for now)

A barnstar for you!

Editor of the Week
User:Lixxx235 submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:
 * I nominate to be Editor of the Week for his attitude and helpfulness at the  IRC channel. Howicus is one of the most friendly helpers on -help that I've seen in months of idling in the channel, while simultaneously actually helping the helpee instead of saying things to be rid of the helpee. Howicus is a wonderful editor to talk to and almost always cheers everyone up. In addition, he does excellent work on-wiki patrolling vandalism and is an unsung hero of the 'pedia.

You can copy the following text to your user page to display a user box proclaiming your selection as Editor of the Week:

Thanks again for your efforts! This nomination also received four seconds, so a quadruple thanks from the encyclopedia for your efforts!  Go  Phightins  !  12:51, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your work, and congratulations! --L235 (t / c / ping in reply ) 16:27, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Wow...I'm speechless. Thanks so much!  Howicus (Did I mess up?) 17:36, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Howicus: you had a total of 5 supporters for this award, which is quite special and definitely highly unusual- see Special:Permalink/645400834. Cheers! :D --L235 (t / c / ping in reply ) 19:30, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
 * It might well have been six had I been editing while the nomination was being considered. You've earned this. John Carter (talk) 00:54, 2 March 2015 (UTC)


 * A token of appreciation for all you do for your fellow editors.. Buster Seven   Talk  19:33, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Uh, this is a mite embarrassing, but to date no one has officially graduated from my adoption school...except for my current adoptee, everyone who's set up an adoption school page has since gone inactive. So...I wouldn't call it notable work yet, though I have high hopes for the future! Howicus (Did I mess up?) 23:29, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I saw your request about clarifying the graduates. I tried to make the change on the template but it didn't work. And I'm not sure why it didn't work. Be sure of one thing ...the effort to have the school is notable and beyond the usual efforts of most editors. You may not have a grad yet but there is no doubt that you will. .

 * I need someone to adopt me to show me how to write GAs :) --L235 (t / c / ping in reply ) 18:29, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
