The Barnstar of Integrity | |
| I ran into your edits by chance, from the deletion proposal of Gjekë Marinaj, but despite being on different sides at first, you have earned my whole respect for the integrity you have shown in your attitude towards the provided sources. I esteem your difficult decision of withdrawing your proposal due to notability, in mediating for a solution through reasoning and for the strength of character you showed in the last comments.

The Technical Barnstar |
| I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge your outstanding idea and hard work in creating a Lua module to replace the WikiProject banner template. This is an immensely complicated template and requires a huge amount of system resources and space to process so I am glad you have taken the initiative in performing this very worthwhile task. Well done! Kumioko (talk) 13:37, 18 June 2013 (UTC) |
- Note: as of January 2014 this module remains unwritten, so this barnstar was - shall we say - premature. :) — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 11:58, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

The Progressive Barnstar | |
| I couldn't find a barnstar that would adequately thank those involved in making the template editor user right RFC a reality, so I created this new one. The Progressive Barnstar recognizes those courageous enough to work towards a vision for change at Wikipedia. Mr. Stradivarius, your many technical and procedural insights and support during both the drafting and live ongoing discussion of this proposal made broad acceptance possible in an area that's caused such division in the past. I consider it a success at this point, no matter what the actual outcome, and I thank you. equazcion (talk) 06:27, 18 Sep 2013 (UTC) |

| Thank you for all the hard work you've put into Lua scripts on Wikipedia!
Looking through some of the modules you've written, Module:UrlToWiki caught my eye. I'd been considering writing something like that once I was a bit more fluent in Lua. It's nice to see someone else had the same idea! – PartTimeGnome (talk | contribs) 22:25, 7 February 2014 (UTC) |
