User talk:Ellin Beltz/Archive Awards

For EXCELLENCE in Humboldt County articles and beyond, I wanted to recognize you...
You have been awarded this Barnstar for your recent editing on Humboldt Bay in addition to your many areas of contribution and your exact nature to prove what you add to articles. Multiple articles that showcase the history of the far North Coast of California, Humboldt County in particular, are benefited by your special care in how and the extent to which you have improved these articles for the future of this encyclopedia. I have never awarded a Barnstar before to anyone; and no other person has demonstrated on this region this level of commitment. Your citations match your editing. You Ellin, are a fantastic contributor to the Wiki. Thank you. Norcalal (talk) 10:25, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
 * D'awwww... Thank you!! I am really happy you like the changes I've been making on the excellent framework laid by others here at the wiki project.  I've been collecting references for about a year now and learning how to do the wiki markup until I felt good enough to get started making additions to some of the major pages.  Also over in Wikimedia Commons, I sorted out all the "dot on population place" maps for California. In so doing I actually learned my county names.  Being a transplant from the flat-lands, working on Wiki has helped me learn about the place to which I moved.  Again, thank you for the barnstar!  Ellin Beltz (talk) 16:30, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
