 * Thank you so much PopularOutcast (talk) 03:40, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

In appreciation

 * So someone needs to educate me on how this works at Wikipedia. Not sure where to put my thanks?  Here or on the person's talk page who gave me the barnstar!  Ack!  In any case, thank you!! PopularOutcast (talk) 04:44, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I watchlisted your talk page, so I saw your reply :) Incidentally, I am pretty heavily involved in the Featured article process, and therefore usually aware of newly promoted articles; are there any particular topics that you might find interesting for recording spoken files? I'd be happy to keep an eye out and drop you a note occasionally, if it would help motivate you to produce more great files. Maralia (talk) 05:17, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I am fairly random in how I pick them. I am, however, trying to record items that are coming up for FA of the day first.  I do tend to pick them based on difficulty level and on my ability (or lack thereof) of pronouncing words in the article.  Long articles or articles with many complicated tables and/or info boxes are tremendously tedious because you have to convert those to something that makes sense while being heard.  I won't, for example, pick an article about Chinese history because I can not properly pronounce the names and places.  I do speak Spanish so if you have an article that has Spanish names and places in them, I can do those.  I am also a computer techie by profession so I can do articles with obscure technical words in them.  I like to get them done in one sitting, so I tend toward the shorter ones.  If you have something long you would like me to record, I can do that too.  I'm just having fun learning about all this stuff I never knew about.

Welcome back
I look forward to listening to more of your work. Axl ¤  [Talk]  18:39, 19 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I appreciate it. Probably TMI, but having illness literally takes years from your life, in between, not only at the end.  Popular Outcast  talk2me! 20:00, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry to see that. By the way, "TMI"? Axl  ¤  [Talk]  20:13, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

A barnstar from the birds!

 * Total bird fan here! Love doing them.  I wish there were more bird FA articles of birds in the US.  Thanks for the barnstar!!  Popular Outcast  talk2me! 07:30, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Great work! Oh, I had one other bit of advice: if you aren't already doing so, keep a personal cheat-sheet of guidelines from the MOS and syntax for templates that you find useful. There are a lot of little things that only come up in one of ten or twenty articles, not frequently enough to commit to memory but enough that you don't want to search for the guideline each time. – Reidgreg (talk) 20:02, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks and thanks for the advice . PopularOutcasttalk2me! 20:27, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
