I'm giving this to you, long past due, for the enormous amount of work you have done on a wide range of articles. You solidify my belief that science articles should be worked on by people who know what they are talking about, rather than

Hi Dr K.
I remember you from some rather fierce debates we had in the past around Greece articles - fierce but never nasty which is rather rare on Wikipedia. This time we appear to be on the same page on the Turkish coup article. Let's agree to maintain the fierceness and the fairness if we meet again (either on the same side, or on opposing sides of an argument). After all, Wikipedia has far too few people who can argue at the PhD level. Let's go with the odd tradition of Wikipedia and put, what according to me, is a fitting barnstar to this
