I don't think I've ever given a barnstar before. I've seen them handed out for a lot of good but minor work, but I wanted to recognize the serious effort you put into the AMX article. Your perseverance and drive made that article what it is today and you were able to do it while working with Malik. Thanks again. Protonk (talk) 02:11, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
Thank you Protonk! This means a lot because of the tremendous effort, so thanks for reinforcing my good behaviors and hard work, and for encouraging cooperation with Malik, the article, wiki, and I am better off for your efforts. — GabeMc (talk) 02:18, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
Thank you Malik, the article would not be GA if not for your input, I am proud to have worked with you on the article. — GabeMc (talk) 20:02, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
Because just about every time I look at my watchlist, I notice that you've done something to make our article on the Beatles a little better. You're cool! Evanh2008 (talk) (contribs) 22:07, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
For outstanding patience and perseverance with the Paul McCartney FAC. Thanks for not giving up! Noleander (talk) 19:29, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
Thank you Noleander, your review was extremely valuable. FTR, it was well worth the time and effort, and I am very proud to have worked collaboratively with so many knowledgeable and helpful editors, it was a pleasure and an honour. ~ GabeMc(talk|contribs) 23:03, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
the Special Barnstar
Here's a special barnstar for GabeMc, who has put up with incredible amounts of guff lately and has not given up on the Wiki. Keep rocking, Dianna (talk) 02:06, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
Thanks so much Dianna! How very kind of you. No, I won't give up, this project is too important! Thanks for the moral support, it is greatly appreciated. ~ GabeMc(talk|contribs) 02:11, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
the Special Barnstar
For your input at the Hunger Games FAC. You noticed multiple issues with the article that I completely failed to detect, and helped raise the article up to standards and allow it to pass. Thanks for your help, Gabe! Evanh2008(talk|contribs) 22:24, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for the barnstar (back in July) and please forgive my unforgivable delay in recognizing your act of kindness! -- — Keithbob • Talk • 02:42, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
Thanks much Mark! That's very kind of you. Cheers! ~ GabeMc(talk|contribs) 21:31, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
Yes, it was fun to see one of "us" get picked up by the press. A friend of mine sent me the article, not knowing perhaps that I'd already participated in the poll! --Jprg1966(talk) 20:10, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
the Check's in the Mail Barnstar
In partial compensation for your invaluable and incredibly thorough editing of the Mitt Romney article during its successful featured article candidacy, this check is, one would hope if one were gullible, in the mail. Seriously, best wishes to you, Gabe. What you did was truly amazing. --Anythingyouwant (talk) 00:35, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
the Copyeditor's Barnstar
For your invaluable and incredibly thorough editing of the Mitt Romney article during its successful featured article candidacy. Best wishes to you, Gabe. What you did was truly amazing. Anythingyouwant (talk) 00:38, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
the Teamwork Barnstar
You, Anythingyouwant and Wasted Time deserve any one of several barnstars for your work at Mitt Romney's FAC, but I chose this one because of your tireless effort cooperating with the other two in resolving the many many issues that had to be tackled. Congratulations on helping get the article to where it is. hamiltonstone (talk) 00:51, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
A belated thanks from me for leading the effort that will (knock on wood) resolve The the dispute once and for all, and for (I presume) not losing your mind in the process! Thanks, GabeMc, for all your work to make Wikipedia a better place. Evanh2008(talk|contribs) 07:15, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
Imagine
Thank you for quality articles, such as Imagine, a "world at peace, without the divisiveness and barriers of borders, religions and nationalities, to consider the possibility that the focus of humanity should be living a life unattached to material possessions, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!
You're just such a bloody hard worker. Our readers are grateful for all you have done. You're also a pleasure to work with. John (talk) 20:50, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
The Mediation Award
Regardless of who did what to create the issues that led to the dispute, I find this apology and good faith effort to renew peace and harmony in Wiki-land to be a courageous act of kindness that is worthy of recognition. Peace!-- — Keithbob • Talk • 13:28, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
For all your hard work to get music articles to good and featured status (most recently Ringo Starr), I hereby award you the Music Barnstar! GoingBatty (talk) 13:13, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
The Beatles award of excellence
Brilliant work on your latest FA! However happy he is about it though, Ringo wants to remind you of two possible future FA's of the men who made this group possible. CassiantoTalk 19:58, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
to Featured Article status, I hereby present you four Million Awards and two Half Million Awards. Congratulations on this rare accomplishment--most Wikipedians will never write one article of such prominence, much less five-- and thanks for all you do for readers worldwide. -- Khazar2 (talk) 14:13, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
The Civility Barnstar
Just a recognition for your effort in trying to improve Are You Experienced. Don't let a small dispute with Dan to back you off from editing that page. I had a similar argument with him a year ago, but that wasn't an obstacle for getting the Metallica album to GA status. Cheers and continue the great work. Hendrix's albums are important and should be high-quality Wiki articles. Вик Ретлхед (talk) 13:32, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
To GabeMc A message through the Purple Haze man. Congratulations on gaining FA status on a giant of the guitar world Jimi Hendrix, a core article! A great job!!
GabeMc, for your skilled writing on a series of rock music FAs which have been further complimented with the promotion of Jimi Hendrix. Sorry I couldn't get there to vote, but for what it's worth, I would have supported nonetheless. Congratulations! CassiantoTalk 21:01, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
The Barnstar of Diligence
GabeMc, I award you this barnstar for all your contributions to Jimi Hendrix, but especially for your recent addition of two iconic images. We haven't always agreed, but I have deep respect for your contributions to this article and this encyclopedia. Thank you. Cullen328Let's discuss it 02:15, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
Gabe, although I did some work in sourcing and copyediting where I could, and fielding questions at PR and FAC, there is no way this would have ever been probably one of the best and most important FAs on Wikipedia of all time without your input and time and dedication in fielding the most nitpicking of nitpickers that FAC throws at editors. Well done. Ritchie333(talk)(cont) 16:25, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
The Special Barnstar
For your superb work on Sgt. Pepper's, easily the best album article on Wikipedia. May your wonderful FAs long continue! Cassiantotalk 01:50, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

From an old boy of Paul's and George's school, an overdue gong for your indefatigable work on Beatles recordings. – Tim riley talk 20:19, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
