User:GRBerry/Major contributions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is Wikipedia, hopefully they have been revised and improved.

I reserves the right to completely screw up my edits. I make way too many typos, so copyediting is always appreciated. Copyeditors are a rare breed here on Wikipedia, and we should all give them more appreciation. Thanks for fixing my mistakes, and most importantly, thanks for making this a better place for our readers!
AfD I have rescued 7 articles for deletion by improving them, some of them with significant help from other editors. The best possible outcome of an AfD discussion is an improved article. How many have you rescued?
A Barnstar!
The Original Barnstar

You are being rewarded this barnstar for inspiring others to rescue articles nominated for deletion. I took a leaf out of your book and it looks like I have managed to rescue Laura Hannant from deletion. Bravo! David L Rattigan 15:12, 30 June 2006 (UTC)


The Special Barnstar
For service above and beyond the call of duty in too many areas to count, I bestow this Special Rainbow Barnstar on GRBerry, Wikipedian troubleshooter extraordinaire! Xoloz 00:27, 16 September 2007 (UTC)


The Barnstar of Diligence
For dedicated performance of tiresome and monotonous administrative tasks, always with a fair hand and keen judgment, GRBerry deserves ten thousand such Barnstars of Diligence! Xoloz 13:21, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


The Deletion Review Barnstar
A Deletion Review Barnstar, for your long history of thoughtful and sound DRV closures -- but more specifically for the deleted cabals closure, which was one of the best, and for a very tough discussion. IronGargoyle (talk) 01:22, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Other Significant Contributions

[edit]
  • After receiving (I had a subscription) an issue of Christian History & Biography focused on Adoniram Judson I got inspired to improve his article and articles on other topics covered in the magazine. If you receive a reliable source yourself, use it! But remember to abide by fair use restrictions.
  • I went through all rivers in List of Maine rivers with an article and added links to the U.S. National Geological Service's real time flow data for river flow. This was inspired by my edits to Aroostook River above, which was inspired by SuggestBot.
