		The Editor's Barnstar
		Your quick action in solving my proposed merger issues is so so appreciable. When i first looked at the old cases, usually they stretch for several months, but your swiftness in clearing up the cases lead to the superfast conclusion of issues. Merely a Thanks isn't appropriate for your great work. Keep it up! Zoglophie^☎️^📁 18:00, 10 May 2020

For your tireless and continued work of copy editing articles on multiple subjects but particularly those of Cherokee relation, I wanted to thank you. Really could have been three different Barnstar's because you are forever doing so much to improve these articles through copy editing, link repairs and minor edits.
