		The Teamwork Barnstar
		In recognition of the role you played in cleaning up my God-awful spelling and grammar in the World War I Op-Ed series published by the Military history WikiProject's newsletter The Bugle over the last four years, I hereby present you with this teamwork barnstar. It is thanks to so many different editors like you who took the time to copyedit the nearly four year long series that it ended up being as successful as it was, and I am grateful for your help since spelling and grammar are not my strongest suites. Yours sincerely, TomStar81 (Talk) 14:40, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

		The WikiChevrons
		For being the only editor to have published a non World War I-related Op-Ed between June 2014 and November 2018 you are also awarded this WikiChevrons and the thanks of those who were undoubtedly happy to see that some people actually remembered what the Op-Ed section was actually for :) TomStar81 (Talk) 14:44, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Original Barnstar

I look forward to this one Nick, you did a good job on Operation Transom. I was reading General Christison's notes and he says that in a meeting with Mountbatten it was said Australia wanted to take over the whole of the NEI as it was in their sphere of influence, I'm not sure about that although Java was flicked from the SWPA to SEAC only in July.

You have been WikiTrouted

Dear Nick-D. This is a WikiTrout. You have been slapped with this WikiTrout for asking another editor to Meatpuppet on your behalf, by performing edits which you should have done yourself, or waited to do. This WikiTrout is bought to you courtesy of Goldman's Pharmacy, and Thor Malmjursson (talk) 05:43, 4 January 2009 (UTC). Thank you for your attention![reply]

I apologise for bringing this up in the first place - that is one large trout. I'll pay for the medical services. — neuro^(talk) 05:46, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am an administrator open to trout slapping, and sort-of deserve it. It would be good if another admin would protect that article. Nick-D (talk) 05:52, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

That's three years to the day (give or take a few hours) since joining the site that I've kept a clean block log. The trout's in the post, and I hope it seriously stinks by the time it gets down under. Seriously, no worries, I'm glad you caught it :) EyeSerene^talk 16:54, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Well, half of one... kinda grosser, if you think about it.)

You're sharing this trout with Parishan (talk · contribs), for inadvertently "blocking" everyone accused of edit-warring withiin the last 9 hours [1] [2]. No worries, and clearly this is about as honest a mistake as there is, but, to paraphrase National Treasure, someone's gotta ~~go to jail~~ get trouted. — PinkAmpers &^{(Je vous invite à me parler)} 20:10, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
