The Good Article Medal of Merit | ||
For your hard work and continued dedication over the course of around 15 years and over 100,000 edits to improve Wikipedia. You have worked on over 500 articles that have appeared in the Did you know section of the main page, and you recently reached another milestone by writing and/or improving your 100th article to good article status. Your efforts are commendable and inspiring; like the great people you have written about, you have also made a considerable positive impact. Thank you for all your work! — The Most Comfortable Chair 07:23, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

The Original Barnstar | ||
As a newpage patroller, Brewcrewer spends a lot time nominating new bios for speedy deletion. So when he comes across a great bio, like George Edward Pendray, he can't help but plaster its creator's talk page with the appropriate barnstar. brewcrewer (yada, yada) 18:29, 28 June 2008 (UTC) |
The Original Barnstar | ||
Creating five articles of such quality, at once, and having a 5-barrelled hook is worthy on note. Bravo! \ / (⁂) 08:50, 6 December 2008 (UTC) |

The 100 DYK Medal | ||
Merry Xmas Doug, more varied articles from the keyboard of Mr Coldwell. A library, a trademark and even a Fickle one. To cap it all a hook with numerous articles surrounding the very first automobile which I think breaks two records at least. This one is exactly the right colour. Gold.
