Wehwalt:This isn't an attempt to build an ideal society. We are building an encyclopedia here and the reader does not give a flying duck about what goes on behind the scenes. We are constrained by the legal and social limits of 2015, but as I have often said, we are not here to sing Kumbaya but to build an encyclopedia and this is the shop floor. Do you think anyone who visits, say, St. Peter's, while admiring, say, the stonework, would think the authorities in the 12th century should have suspended the chief stone mason from work for saying something nasty, or think the person who judges between the stone mason and the guy carting away the rubble should be someone who has expressed a hostile attitude towards skilled workers?

Nice work on improving the Owen J. Baggett article, which served to demonstrate the notability for this person and ultimately led to the article's retention on Wikipedia. Northamerica1000(talk) 09:20, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for volunteering to complete the GA review for Schmerber v. California, and for your tireless efforts to improve legal articles on Wikipedia! -- Notecardforfree (talk) 19:33, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
I wanted to give you this Barnstar to congratulate you with on the work you have done to raise the United States v. Washington article to F.A. status (Today's Featured Article!) and to recognize all of your wonderful contributions here at Wikipedia. Speaking as one who writes, I understand all-too-well, the tireless work, the setbacks, the frustrations, and even heartbreaks that go into making something special like this possible. You have earned this grand moment to savor in joy, and I hope that you will re-consider and resume your work here, because people of your caliber and dedication are so desperately needed.

Awarded for defending the integrity of the pseudo-democratic process known as "request for adminship". I hope that next time, others will join you in defending your own or others' conscientious opposes. For those who do not understand how we must be as a community and a society, I leave a poem.

To GregJackP, for remaining calm during hostile badgering. Axl¤[Talk] 10:33, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
Even though I think your RFA criteria may be slightly too strict, I support your choice to use them. Axl¤[Talk] 10:33, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for your support in my recent, albeit unsuccessful, RfA. Hawkeye7(discuss) 19:34, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
The Barnstar of Integrity
Thank you for standing up and defending you're admin criteria art the recent RfA!Puddleglum 2.0 17:57, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
Hi GregJackP. Thanks for nominating yourself, and congratulations on indeed meeting the criteria. Having read the incredible articles in your nomination I'm thinking the only thing that stands out in need of improvement is the lead at Merrion v. Jicarilla Apache Tribe, which is only a single sentence. I think the article could be improved by fleshing that out a fair bit. I briefly considered asking you to do that before giving the award though figured it would be a shame to delay conferring it for something that I'm sure won't take you long (not to mention you would still have been eligible for the award with only two piece of content in each category), though I'd appreciate it you could take a look at expanding that at your earliest convenience. Have a great day! Damien Linnane (talk) 05:07, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
The Barnstar of Diligence
I've seen you from time to time vote in RfAs, and I want to applaud you for sticking to your principles and not changing your stance in the face of adversity. I've been striving to do that myself lately, so seeing an example of that in practice is very refreshing and encouraging. Steel1943 (talk) 21:06, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
