Thank you for your work on improving this article. I wish that there might be a greater sense of "inclusion" of information, so that if anybody wanted to know anything about anything they could confidently turn to Wikipedia. Arizona Sky may not be a masterpiece, but IMHO it is deserving of an entry in Wikipedia. Thank you for your work.--JRiverton (talk) 14:14, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

The Cleanup Barnstar
I, — BQZip01 —, hereby award the Cleanup Barnstar to Michael Q. Schmidt for his tireless efforts to improve articles on the verge of deletion. I first met Michael in a dispute over an article about...himself. I admit I was a little skeptical at first regarding his motives (I mean, hey, it's a guy writing an article about himself! Does anyone see the potential for a problem here?!?) But, I gave him the benefit of the doubt, followed WP:AGF, and backed him up/did my best to protect him from some other harassing/disruptive editors and gave him a chance. I didn't think he would ever do much beyond that article, but he certainly didn't deserve a beatdown. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine he would be this productive! Thanks for both proving me right and excelling beyond my wildest expectations. This barnstar is WAY past due for this editor's tireless contributions and I can only beg forgiveness in its tardiness! — BQZip01 — talk 05:40, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi! I've never been a barnstar giver and I hate abstaining from giving praise so I thought I'd leave you a message. For what it's worth, your name is synonymous to me with quality editing. Any time I'm in proximity of your edits regarding AfDs and rescuing articles, I've admired what you do and agreed with your assesments 100%. I think the only way that you could benefit WP more is if you opened a school for teaching editors how to research subjects, find sources, and make a proper analysis of the notability of an article. You set a great example and I hope you rub off on others. Happy hunting. OlYellerTalktome 00:35, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Great work on the Cameron Finley article! In particular, including his background, listing his filmography, and citing his award nominations as you did really helps to remove any previous ambiguity about his body of work not meeting WP:ENT. Multiple leading roles in film, plus his regular voice role on TV, is enough to clear the bar in my view. I've added a few offline sources to the article per your recommendation.

The Barnstar of Integrity
A barnstar for your efforts I've noticed in AfD discussions to counter potential systemic bias on Wikipedia. It's important that editors understand that non-English language sources are also acceptable to verify information in articles and to qualify topic notability. Northamerica1000(talk) 11:27, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
Thank you. Sometimes newer (and even a few older) editors believe that en.Wikipdia is to be only about English-only topics or only about English-only notability. To paraphrase what has often been attributed to Edmund Burke: All that is necessary for systemic bias to prosper is for good editors to do nothing. Patient education and explanation is the way to teach that THIS encycyclopedia is to be about more that just Western topics... and that opinions based on WP:UNKNOWNHERE, WP:IDONTKNOWIT or WP:FARAWAY are not per policy nor guideline.
