The Barnstar of Diligence
Thanks JW for diligently reading through all submissions on WP:ITNRD and providing your notes. I know we often do not credit editors who read each article and provide their feedback, as much as we credit creators, nominators, and updaters. I wanted to use this chance to say, "Thank You!"
