barnstars are a lovely way of saying "thank you". A personal note can say this sweet message just as meaningfully. Thus I have also added some quotes that, while not barnstars or special templates, are still valuable to me. A lot of hard work goes into this project, and grateful support = good thing. this page does not contain all of my barnstars, cookies or whatnot; it is merely a collection of precious proofs of goodness from various people that are of great value to me for one reason or another. :) If your gift does not appear here, please be assured I truly do appreciate it.
Thank you for all you do here at simple. I opposed your RFA because I felt you would be overly nice when dealing with issues that admins must work with. After watching you work with the tools for some time, I must say I was completely wrong. Your great ability to be gentle to trouble users who have the potential to be great editors, while still being firm with rules amazes me. I am most envious of the grace with which you work. I ask that you please accept this most deserving award. Gordonrox24 | Talk 01:18, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

The Half Barnstar
For Esther in helping improve the Chess article. You helped me greatly in the tasks you (and Belinda) did together. Some of the things you and Belinda did I don't even know how to do. So thanks much for you're hard work. I hope you treasure the right half of this barnstar (the left side gos to Belinda). It represents two wonderful editors that cooperate greatly together. Again, thanks for you're help! Happy editing, I-on|I-Гalk |I-PrФjecГ 00:36, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
