The Excellent New Editor's Barnstar.
Because you have made many spot-on edits and other contributions in just a couple of months; your user page is cool--I love the bit about human behavior--so true!; you gave me a great suggestion at the Teahouse; and you have contributed to an article involving my ancestral clan - MacQuarrie (spelling varies). I took that as a Jungian synchronicity thing. Cheers! - Mark D Worthen PsyD 12:28, 28 April 2014 (UTC) -

Great Answer Badge |
Awarded to those who have given a great answer on the Teahouse Question Forum. A good answer is one that fits in with the Teahouse expectations of proper conduct: polite, patient, simple, relies on explanations not links, and leaves a talkback notification. |
- Hey. You gave somebody at the Teahouse a terrific answer so take this badge! Great work! -- DangerousJXD (talk) 08:14, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
- I've had the same question about how to purge page. I appreciate your answer in the time that you took to make it. -- Bfpage |leave a message 22:34, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
