The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
You've done good anti-vandalism work on Wikipedia recently, as I always seem to be getting into edit conflicts with you when I do recent changes patrolling! I've been fighting vandals for a year and a half now, and I'm always amazed that, even when other vandal fighters move on, new ones seem to show up out of nowhere to take their place. Vandal fighters need to support each other, so here's my support -- a barnstar! May your work keep Wikipedia clean and safe from those who wish to harm it. --I am k6ka Talk to me!

The Original Barnstar
Greetings Winner_42,

Thank you for your prompt answer regarding my incomplete submission of TONY WILSON: I LIKE YOUR STYLE - I was indeed pleasantly surprised by such a quick answer and I was expecting a 3-4 week waiting period which would've given me enough time to complete the 'story' - I have already done a re-edit but I am still shaky regarding how it should be presented and would be very pleased for any assistance which you or anyone else can offer. I don't know if there is a, sort of, 'save your project before submitting' or anything like that - so I'll keep searching through until I learn how to!

Thanking you in advance for any suggestions etc.

Regards

Cake :o
Vandalism patrolling is hard! And EXAUSTING! I just tried doing it for longer than a few minutes, and have discovered that it is not as easy as it looks. You though, constantly do it, longer than I have... That is amazing, you deserve this cake!(Share with me please? :D) --Airplane Maniac (talk) 00:43, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
