Thank you for the info. This wiki edit is new to me and I have learned a lot today. I am still stumbling around, but plan on changing that to a cantor or lope. The info posted was not accurate, that was the reason for the change. Eatprayswimm (talk) 20:36, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for the info. This is new to me and I'm still leaning a lot. I'm glad I've got notified otherwise I'd keep doing the same mistake all over again !! Soumia Er (talk) 21:25, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Good call on reverting that move from Sia (musician)! It's better that than the community's time being wasted with an obvious result at a move review! Steel1943 (talk) 01:37, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

You add special flavor to the community with your surprising tasty edits! Thank you for being a great friend and Wikipedian! CookieMonster755 (talk) 19:15, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

I already gave you one for tireless closures of AfDs, but you deserve another barnstar. Esquivalience t 01:40, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

welcome
Thank you, "bus-mad" Dave, for quality contributions to articles such as Arriva Southern Counties, for welcoming and warning users, for handling deletion discussions including article rescue, for cleaning up school articles and their templates, for concise benevolent evidence, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Keep as meets PORNBIO & GNG - As always this !vote has nothing to do with looks!..... –Davey2010Talk 22:15, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Translating that for the closing admin, Davey thinks she is hot and therefore voting keep on that basis but is ashamed to admit it. Spartaz Humbug! 06:29, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
I'm saying absolutely nothing *cough*. –Davey2010Talk 14:39, 25 September 2015 (UTC).

You are amazing man! Don't tell anybody but, I have been stalking your talk page since long for the humorous stuff that you stay. With all the stress, how great the world would get if everybody was so light-hearted. You do an excellent job, and you just rock! You must have received plenty of these but here's one more XD Yash! 19:08, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

You are using this template in the wrong namespace. Use this template on your talk page instead.
I'm fully inclined to unblock you, but feel it would only be fair to get input from other editors first. Also you haven't mentioned your lack of vandalism - I feel this needs to be addressed as well. Optimist on the run (talk) 17:43, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
Optimist on the run - How can I forget the vandalism, I'll go on a vandalism spree as well, I'll vandalize every article here and then I'll use AWB to create more chaos and once completed that I'll then rollback every editor and admin (including WMF) on the site too, Even reports at VP & ANI .... I'll rollback the lot, I feel my actions above overall are an improvement to the project and would go far as to say I'd be an asset to the project  . –Davey2010Talk 18:22, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
Arr thanks Optimist on the run!, I have to admit I've actually made myself laugh aswell  , Well I suppose it's something different .... The only tricky part is that I'll have to come up with something different and better next year  , Anyway thanks for the barnstar - Very much appreciated :), Have a great day, –Davey2010Talk 21:57, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

For your great work on making List of bus stations in Wales become an encyclopaedic, well sourced article. For the time you've taken in doing this, I think this deserves a barnstar. Keep up the good work Dave! Class455 (talk|stand clear of the doors!) 23:13, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

I want to thank you for being passionate about Wikipedia's verifiability. Specifically, when dealing with the swarm of IP editors (many, I believe are from a single IP-hopper) making subtle, unsourced edits to automotive articles. As someone who's been using Wikipedia for over a decade to get relatively fluff-free and reliably-sourced information on cars, especially when I'm in the market for one, I appreciate the shift out of someone who takes their time to keep the articles that way. - GS 23:08, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
