I appreciate your expanding of the Peacekeeper Rail Garrison Car page. Thanks for going above and beyond on an article that frankly I was unsure of its notability. Also, thanks for the other things as well on this project, but mainly that. Have a nice day! Kevin Rutherford (talk) 06:13, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
I feel compelled to award you this barnstar. While developing the Tops In Blue article, I've got to both WP:WikiProject Military History and WP:DYK with questions or requests and I didn't get the results I had hoped for until you came along to save the day. Thanks so much for advocating on my behalf in both these projects! v/r - TP 02:51, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

This is for all the terrific hooks you keep coming up with for all the aviation and fighter planes articles that you create.

It's always a delight to read WP:ANI close titles from you; they never disappoint, and I'm glad that a neglected feature of Template:Archive top is finally making a resurgence thanks to you. WP:ANI is not an easy place to work in either, so seeing one of your close titles always brings a smile to a grim page. Thank you. Regards, User:TheDragonFire300.
