On May 7, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Girard Avenue Bridge, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
So . . ... I have a lot of sculpture related articles on my watchlist and you are slowly, one at a time, hitting them all. Because this is a good thing you have earned the seldom coveted Thumbs Up Award. Way to go. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 23:24, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
THUMBS UP AWARD
Congratulations on your second Thumbs Up Award - (a record as far as I am aware) - this time for your awesome work on conceptualizing and actually using the concept on setting up and organizing the List of equestrian statues in the United States. My paltry attempts pale next to the perfection that you have produced. Perfect!! Carptrash (talk) 15:55, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
For your extensive contributions to the Military history WikiProject, as evidenced by your nomination in the 2014 "Military Historian of the Year" awards, I am delighted to present you with this WikiProject Barnstar!TomStar81 (Talk) 02:30, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
The Original Barnstar
Beautiful work. Daniel Pabst didn't make great beer, but he made awesome furniture. Your 'boring history' is almost lyrical. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 03:23, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
Editor of the Week
Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week for 95% of edits to article space, including outstanding work on Gettysburg articles. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)
To BoringHistoryGuy, Wikipedia is an avocation. He will "research the hell out of a subject" and create or contribute to an article, many with a tie to Philadelphia. Just last week he was acknowledged as a pending changes reviewer and a trusted user and creator of referenced articles (autopatrolled).
BoringHistoryGuy has been awarded the Dripping Faucet Barnstar. Just point him at an article, List of the tallest statues in the United States for example, but there are many others, and, like a dripping faucet s/he will "drip, drip, drip" away at it for days, weeks, months even, until only a polished gem remains. Then after that s/he will come back and do some more. Only the most dedicated Wikipedia editor can win one of these. Carptrash (talk) 19:28, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
This Working Wikipedian's Barnstar goes out to BoringHistoryGuy for his inspired work at List of monuments of the Gettysburg Battlefield. Having discovered that over time the National Park Service was changing its web locations for over a thousand monuments he soldiered through all of them, making the necessary corrections where needed. Wikipedia might never die, but it can kill you so don't attempt this sort of thing yourself at home. BoringHistoryGuy is a highly not paid professional. Carptrash (talk) 16:30, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
