Thank you for your fine efforts in sourcing BLPs. I have a feeling that you are an editor who consistently makes a tremendous amount of positive contributions to wikipedia and doesn't always get the recognition you so deserve. I hope this is the first step in alleviating this! Thank you. IkipFrank Andersson (45 revisions restored):an olympic medallist for f**k's sake 16:17, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
Your messages to unsuccessful (or potentially unsuccessful) RfA candidates that I've seen over the past few days have been really impressive to me. They come across as very personal, heartfelt and sympathetic. Losing an RfA can be devastating to an editor, and nothing bothers me more than seeing Wikipedia lose good editors after a period of merciless criticism that ends in a failed RfA. Messages like yours are not only 'nice', but they really make a difference. Thanks for doing that. Regards, SwarmX 21:16, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

HJ, you're a very special Wikipedian in my book. Being a mindful, considerate administrator who consistently makes good decisions, or at least tries, is not an easy task, especially considering some of the mine fields one has to navigate when settling a dispute.
