Patience Barnstar

I can't find an appropriate barnstar to reward you for your incredible patience on the etiquette page. Then again, I'm not a big fan of barnstars so a big thankyou for keeping Wikipedia the way it ought to be will have to do. All the best ► Philg88 ◄  talk 12:19, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Administrator Without Tools
edit
  I have observed some remarkable contributions from this account. I am curious as to why are you not an administrator. Pardon that you have struck me as the kind of editor who could be a good one, and that you seem qualified by a cursory review. You exemplify the essence of an Administrator without tools! I hope you will consider serving in the fuller capacity.

Note: This award was a prototypical version of the WP:AWOT award, in the form of a standardized message personally sent out by the award's original creator, now known as John Cline. Several days later, the message was converted into the original version of the award (seen above) with no changes to the text. The original message is still archived here. I was the second ever recipient of this rare accolade!

Wow, you showed exceptional patience recently dealing with that young user. Not sure how it will (or has) played out, but it was really good of you to offer to work with him. Very classy. I don't think I'd have the patience but I appreciate seeing it in you. Herostratus (talk) 03:23, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

For this edit.[1] In lieu of what would probably be seen as a misapplied Socratic Barnstar. I have to laugh at the comedy of civility wheel-wars, because this would be so much the sadder place if I could not. Trusilver 17:39, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
