- A thorough review of the history and practice of Wikipedia. History of encyclopaedias. Quotes from Jimbo, Essjay, William Connolley, etc. Ends "Wikipedia offers endless opportunities for self-expression. It is the love child of reading groups and chat rooms, a second home for anyone who has written an Amazon review. This is not the first time that encyclopedia-makers have snatched control from an élite, or cast a harsh light on certitude. Jimmy Wales may or may not be the new Henry Ford, yet he has sent us tooling down the interstate, with but a squint back at the railroad. We’re on the open road now, without conductors and timetables. We’re free to chart our own course, also free to get gloriously, recklessly lost. Your truth or mine? "

The Nudibranch of Niceness, For your excellent work on the Conus project, I hereby present to you this much-coveted award. Without fear of hyperbole, this is the single greatest award in the history of the known universe. So, of course, in the field of gastropods, it is a huge deal, and much talked-about. It is the equivalent of the Nobel Prize for malacology. Previous winners of this award include JoJan, Snek01, and Invertzoo, all of whom attained rock star status that nearly destroyed them. As word of this will hit the newspapers within a few days, I suggest getting out of town to avoid the media frenzy. -- Anna Frodesiak (talk) 09:43, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

A Gastropod Barnstar, This beautiful Gastropod Barnstar is awarded to you Ganeshk, in recognition of all the dedicated work you have put into creating thousands of new stubs for WikiProject Gastropods, using Ganeshbot. Thank you for being so kind and generous. The snails and slugs are applauding. This is hard for them to do as they don't have hands, and also their bodies are rather soft. However some of them are trying to bang their opercula on their shells in order to make a clapping sound! Invertzoo (talk) 18:46, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Welcome!, A very big WELCOME to WikiProject Gastropods for Ganeshk, an honorary member! We are delighted with all the work you have put into the Project! Thank you so much. * Welcome! * Thank you! * A slime trail for you in case you need one! ......................................... Invertzoo (talk) 20:32, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

The da Vinci Barnstar, I consider this Ganeshbot to be the most useful, the most successful and the most professional user of the Wikiproject Gastropods, because it does not only share knowledge by its master GaneshK, but also from its reliable sources and also from other multiple Wikiproject Gastropods members. Actually it is the only biology-related wikipedia bot, so therefore it is the best biological robot. Snek01 (talk) 14:44, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
-
The Tireless Contributor Barnstar, Awarded to Ganesh for his tireless and very fine work at WikiProject Gastropods, which greatly helped and inspired all of us at the project to greater heights. I hope we can continue to work with you, even when we are not using your excellent bot. And I hope it will not be too terribly long until we can use the bot again.

The Minor Barnstar, Good work on taxonomy of all heterobranch articles! Snek01 (talk) 19:35, 14 March 2011 (UTC) (Note: Minor edits are often-overlooked, but essential, contributions to the Wikipedia. The Minor Barnstar is awarded for making minor edits of the utmost quality. User:Snek01 gave this award to User:Ganeshbot.)

Note from a Dutch Wikipedian, [1]...We used CSVLoader for about 30% (300.000+ articles) of our entire encyclopedia, producing stub-sized articles about animals - you might've heard about it, it was all over the news internationally, and it's on nearly every iw-page about the Dutch Wiki, also on enwiki. Never got the chance to thank you, so hereby, thank you so much, your tool has been a great help! Grashoofd (talk) 21:00, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

The Barnstar of Diligence, To Ganesh, whom we do not recognize often enough for his extraordinary contributions, primarily but not exclusively via his bot, to the Gastropod project and the Bivalve project. Without your work we would still be stumbling around in the Dark Ages! You certainly deserve the Barnstar of Diligence! Invertzoo (talk) 21:49, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

The Brilliant Idea Barnstar, Making User:Ganeshbot/Animalia/Gastropoda/Heterobranchia/Opisthobranchia/Nudibranchia/Dexiarchia/Aeolidida/Flabellinoidea/Flabellinidae/Flabellina was a Brilliant and helpful idea.

More kudos for our project, A couple of days ago I was doing a Google search to try to find an image of a shell of a species of small pyramidellid sea snail (a micromollusk) that I found in Florida.....An even better image was to be found using the Google search, but only in our Wikipedia article, the image being from the original publication of Dall's. I was surprised and delighted that we have such a nice article and such a nice illustration for such a small and rather obscure shell! Thanks to Ganeshbot and to JoJan! Invertzoo (talk) 22:52, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[2]

The Bivalve Barnstar, This spiny Spondylus Barnstar is awarded to you Ganesh, in recognition of all your 2012 work on the subject of bivalve mollusks as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Bivalves, including (of course) founding the project itself! All your efforts are much appreciated! Invertzoo (talk) 18:25, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

The Gastropod Barnstar, For the enormous amount of good work that you Ganeshk (and your bot friend) have put into Wikiproject Gastropods this year: working with JoJan to set up and create our new stubs; listing all the changes needed for keeping our preexisting stubs up to date in terms of changes; and also generously helping me whenever I needed technical advice, I award you this Gastropod Barnstar. You have certainly earned it! Congratulations and all the very best wishes for 2013! Invertzoo (talk) 20:12, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

The Special Barnstar, Thanking you for your immense contribution in enthralling millions of Indians and Indian origins with specifics of their quaint and discreet and barely known towns and suburbs.
