The E=mc² Barnstar
Thanks for making the fascinating topic of viruses accessible to a wide audience. Your clear, evocative writing will bring the world of viruses into high relief for readers and may even prompt some young readers to become microbiologists. You could be the Carl Sagan of the microworld. :) Awadewit (talk) 17:10, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

The Barnstar of Diligence
To GrahamColm, for assisting in technical wording, resources, and general scientific authority for the physical health section of Lesbian. It used to be a battleground for undue weight and pointy edits, and is part of the reason I rewrote the entire article. Your assistance, as usual, is invaluable. Thank you.

The Bio-star
Creating new articles is both energising and demoralising, thanks to the thrill of constructing something by putting one's knowledge into practice and due to the lack of acknowledgement by other users bar sporadic bot visits, respectively. Having been impressed by the standards on your created articles, I thought I'd give you a Barnstar... Squidonius (talk) 21:10, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
*****************The Beyoncé Knowles WikiProject Thanks You*****************
I, Jivesh, thank you wholeheartedly for your comments on the FAC of "Halo", which has now passed. Your encouraging words helped me even more (morally). May God bless both you and the day I came across a kind and helpful person like you on Wikipedia.

We don't have a surgeon's barnstar, but if we did, you'd get it for this forensic gutting of an entirely pointless GAR. SN54129 19:44, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
