For your remarkable efforts in helping WikiProjects better understand what articles are in the categories with which they work. Few people have even heard of all the projects you've helped out in this way, let alone helped them all in such a useful way. A small token of appreciation from "all of us" WikiProjects out there is certainly in order. John Carter (talk) 22:49, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

The Photographer's Barnstar
In recognition of your work in general, and in particular your two fine photographs of Audubon Canyon and Bolinas Lagoon, both of which substantially improved the article I created and expanded, L. Martin Griffin, Jr., and the former photo of which is currently featured on the Main Page as I write this, as a featured listing at Did you know...! Many thanks to you, and a thousand blessings, Jusdafax 06:48, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
I hereby bestow on you this Barnstar of Diligence for the tireless correction of countless co-ordinate screw-ups on wikipedia: keep up the good work, and much fewer will get lost on the internet! Complainer (talk) 21:12, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Hello! I really appreciate all of your extensive edits to California-related articles. They may seem minor but some of us see them and appreciate it - thank you! :) Temeku (talk) 01:22, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
The Working Wikipedian's Barnstar
For your continual and tireless work on the California city articles (those are the ones I know about, my hunch is that you have broader interests). It is so refreshing to see your name on edits in my watchlist and know that I don't have to go check whether or not they are correct. You seem to have a deep interest in keeping these articles fresh and up to date. Bravo. Onel5969 (talk) 22:23, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

thanks for the thank you on the Indio article. When you get a chance, let me know how you made that happen? Some syntax I am apparently unaware of? I also note you are the same person who courteously pointed out to me that I flagged something in error in the Palo Alto article, so thank you for that as well.
