The Barnstar of Diplomacy[edit]Intervention of the type you've been delivering is EXACTLY what I've been hoping for. I'm quite surprised that -- in a sea of intransigence -- you were able to gain even a modicum of respect for your efforts, though you've now seemed to have earned far more trust than that. I don't see much room for improvement in your approach; you are, in fact, doing an exemplary job. Definitely an issue to tuck under your belt, should you ever decide to go for an adminship.
