Outstanding Contributions Recognition

Hi Sarastro, working with you on the article Van Diemen's Land v Port Phillip, 1851 and getting it up to FA status has been an absolute pleasure and an invaluable learning experience. Your diligence and effort on improving the article to FA standards couldn't ever have been ever replicated by me.

For the truly committed support and assistance you gave to me and to Wikipedia in general, for me, you truly are an outstanding contributor.

Here's a small and shiny medal for you, given with great respect. It was lovely collaborating with you and I look forward eagerly to continuing the association.

Thank you!
