Thank you for quality articles about women such as Kay Lehman Schlozman, Elizabeth Theiss-Morse, Lyn Ragsdale and Aasiva, for translations from French, for service from 2007, for remembering Boris Tsirelson, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

You are recipient no. 2376 of Precious, a prize of QAI. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:53, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

		The Women in Red Barnstar
		You have really made a big difference to our coverage of women this year, Astrophobe, with over 260 new biographies of women over the past 12 months, all well presented and informative. We look forward to more along the same lines in 2021.

--Ipigott (talk) 11:46, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Maybe you would like to add this to your user page:

This user has made 264 women blue.

--Ipigott (talk) 11:46, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Wow, thank you so much Ipigott! I really appreciate the kind words. I'll be thrilled to display these! By the way, how do you count how many WiR pages a person has written specifically? Is there a tool that counts related categories? - Astrophobe (talk) 17:32, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Writer's Barnstar
	I'm not the right person to take it for its GA review but I've just seen your work on Political party and it's very much appreciated, excellent stuff: a good read and I hope it'll get GA at some point soon. — Bilorv (talk) 08:09, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

Thank you so much for this wonderful barnstar, bilorv! I will display it proudly. I am really glad to hear that you liked the article. I found it quite challenging to overhaul an article on such a fundamental topic, but it was all the more rewarding when it finally felt like Wikipedia had a reasonably thorough page on the topic. - Astrophobe (talk) 01:22, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

A kitten for you!

You are an amazing Wikipedian, keep up the great work! LGBTQ+ Pride forever ;)

Thank you so much Gerda Arendt, how nice of you to send out these reminders :) - Astrophobe (talk) 22:14, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

A kitten for you!

I know, you don't know me, but I just wanted to say, people like you made my life a lot easier

ArriehM (talk) 00:08, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Wow, thank you ArriehM, what a beautiful kitten! I really appreciate that. Can I ask what bit of work prompted this? I'd be interested in knowing what in particular proved to be useful for you. - Astrophobe (talk) 15:06, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
	Saw your Women in Red post. Exceptional work this year! Essentially triple the number of articles I've been able to create in seven years. Hope you'll keep up the hard work in the new year. :) — Bilorv (talk) 14:01, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

My goodness, thanks so much bilorv! I really appreciate that. :) But don't sell yourself short — next I have to take a page out of your book and try to actually write some Good Articles! - Astrophobe (talk) 17:40, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
