	Thank you for your ongoing work on categories. It's a difficult - and extremely messy - area which doesn't attract enough Wikipedians. Your logic and perseverance is greatly appreciated! Iryna Harpy (talk) 19:35, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Probably unwise of me to have entered a war with Tim. Nevertheless, your vote took courage. Laurel Lodged (talk) 11:28, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

	The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
	This to recognize your tireless efforts to keep wikipedia articles well-categorized. You have well over 300,000 edits (including more than 70,000 in category space), and I see that you are actively ensuring categories meet policy. Thanks! VR talk 16:20, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

Ok, so I think we'll all agree that there are a lot of contributors to cfd. But I see you two almost everywhere. Contributing to a vast number of discussions and closing ones you haven't.

It seems to me, at times, you're all that stands between keeping a discussion going in order to find consensus, and it turning into "no consensus".

So 2 things.

First:

		The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
		For all the work you do in and around WP:CFD. - jc37 12:02, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

and:

Hiding created this a long time ago to give to me. I'm (hopefully) paying that sentiment forward:

		The Categorisation Barnstar
		For all the hard work you do regarding categories. - jc37 12:02, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

You both well deserve them.

And finally, as noted, you've both clearly been very active around CfD. So I'll pass on some advice which had been suggested to me by others before me:

Look around at those you see positively and civilly contributing, who you might deem to have a clue(tm). And see if they might be interested in being nominated for adminship.

If it helps, this is my criteria: User:Jc37/RfA/Criteria. But honestly, you should follow your own instincts to what you feel is right.

I wish you both well : ) - jc37 12:02, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

		I've only just realised that you are well on the way with this cleanup – a (tiresome?) project that I likewise had in mind to get round to. So here is another tribute in recognition of the hard work that you have been putting in for years and years, without even bothering to ask for the full toolbox. And whenever I want some support – there you are already. Many, many thanks for all that you do! – Fayenatic London 14:18, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

I see your helpful edit summary on an old Redirect like Prussian Gold Coast and wonder how you even came across this page. Your work ethic is above and beyond. I can see why you have acquired a record of almost half a million (!) edits and am grateful for all of your contributions, most especially to the niche area of categories. Your work is appreciated and we, and the project, have all benefitted from it. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 22:56, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
