For keeping a cool head and staying focused during heated discussions AgadaUrbanit (talk) 16:08, 4 December 2011 (UTC) For thoroughly sorting out both volunteers articles and keeping a cool head throughout, even when confronted with apathy, pig-headedness and an unhealthy dose of just don't like it-ism. A great job, and one that more than warrants this. JonCTalk 10:31, 11 October 2011 (UTC)The E=MC² Barnstar. To BullRangifer, for being a scientist in the very best meaning of the word; been proud to work with you. - Gleng 16:28, 28 September 2006 (UTC) Because if you want something, you gotta ask ... and for your patience, willingness and openness at co-operating on difficult things to do with "these islands", the "six counties", "countries, provinces, regions", and a whole lot more despite (or because of?) your own perspective. RA (talk) 18:12, 4 October 2011 (UTC) Having copy edited 8 articles and totaling over 15,000 words, the Cleanup Barnstar is awarded to Mabuska for great effort in the Guild of Copy Editors' March 2011 Backlog elimination drive. Thank you for your participation! Tea with toast (talk) 15:08, 3 April 2011 (UTC) This barnstar is for quickly finding a Reference for Aughnacloy, County Down.

Quotes
   
The idea of exclusive national homelands is a modern fantasy... Yet once they were settled, all the peoples were keen to invent a unique pedigree for themselves. All have suffered too, from the attentions of nationalist historians in our own day, who think nothing of projecting modern identities backwards into prehistory.
Norman Davies, Europe; A History
No modern European nation can lay reasonable claim to undiluted 'ethnic purity.
Norman Davies, Europe; A History
Do mhíle fáilte a Bhanríoghain Éire, Go cathraigh éigseach chríche Uladh.

Mas fuar síon ar mhullaigh a sliabh, Is grádhach díolos croidhe a bunadh.

1000 welcomes, Oh Queen of Ireland, To the poetic city of the land of Ulster.
If cold be the wind on its mountain-tops, Its people’s hearts are warm and loyal.

McAdam's Irish motto for Queen Victoria on her visit to Belfast.
