When you said you posted a note that invoked my name, I certainly didn't expect to see a complete explanation of the intent of my own comment! And, though, in my opinion, my original comment was straightforward enough, your explanation perfectly captured the essence of what I was trying to say, delivering my point as well as it could have possibly been delivered by anyone. You did this for the candidate, of course, so they understood what the problem was, but thank you very much from me all the same, for explaining my comment as well as anyone (myself included) could have.

I couldn't find a barnstar that would adequately thank those involved in making the template editor user right RFC a reality, so I created this new one. The Progressive Barnstar recognizes those courageous enough to work towards a vision for change at Wikipedia. Sphilbrick, your musings in the Administrators' noticeboard thread that got this RFC started were critical -- especially in that you were the one to first point out Trappist the monk's RfA, a prime example of the issue that requires addressing. I consider it a success at this point, no matter what the eventual outcome, and I thank you. equazcion(talk) 06:28, 18 Sep 2013 (UTC)
