The Special Barnstar is given to you for some much needed help today.

Thank you for accepting me here on Wikipedia. I have felt tremendously isolated this past week. Thank you for looking into a few delquents who seem to relish in the redundant opportunity of vandalism. I appreciate your help, Electric Japan ( talk) 15:03, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Not a barnstar, but a simple thank you for your efforts. Everyme 15:14, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

		I think we will find that this edit of yours has a substantial impact on how new users view their experience with Wikipedia. Framing the concept of editing Wikipedia in a context of fear of reprisal is not very pleasant, and I don't think it reflects why most of us stick with it. Your rewrite is clean and elegant, and improves the image of the encyclopedia. Well done! - Pete ( talk) – [1]

I'm awarding you this barnstar for your incredible summaries of the Wikipedia Quality Task Force. Really amazing stuff that obviously took a ton of work and that will really help propel this conversation forward. Thank you! -- Eekim 19:33, 16 December 2009 (UTC) [2]

"endorse FT2's fantastic work" - Randomran 21:29, 1 July 2010 [4]

• "FT2, you're always there to bring us back to the business at hand ;)"

This was when I added a comment to the effect that it's lucky we don't have to talk about these speculative matters to actually sort out an article. And it's mutual, Talk:2004 U.S. Election controversies and irregularities is an article I'm quite enjoying watching grow :)

- kizzle 00:47, Nov 9, 2004 (UTC) [5]

• "I consider FT2 to be a better more neutral person to guide the discussion, and choose the quetions to answer first than either you or I since we are parties to the edit war that brought this page protection."

- CheeseDreams 19:42, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC) Ahhh, that nice warm feeling. [6]

Yes, you are doing some good work there. Pedant [7]

• "I did not have a chance to see what you were doing yesterday (nor have I taken a look yet today) but I was very impressed with the effort you were putting into this. Your process of collecting the consensus votes and working through the complete article, while at the same time posting to the talk page your progress to keep the antsy members of the contributing group abreast of your progress, seems to me to be a particularly appropriate form of agressive mediation; something I believe this article/dispute has been in need of. While I cannot offer an appropriate reward, please know that your efforts have been noticed and strongly appreciated!"

• "I would like to second this, reviewing the summary I constructed for the text, it seems like you spent a great deal of effort over this."

- CheeseDreams 22:08, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC) [9]

• "I am new here so please let me know if I am posting inappropriately. I would like to comment upon the work that FT2 has done regarding the neutrality of the zoophilia article. I have come to expect Wikipedia to be a RELIABLE source of information with VERIFIABLE content. I would still like to see the appearance of references and links to peer-reviewed psychological and zoological references. However the wildly POV aspect of the original article has been well toned down and FT2 is close to a neutral discussion. Personally I find the whole subject distasteful but have had to study it from a psychoanlytic POV and therefore appreciate the efforts of FT2. Thank you."

• "Thanks for your help in the article about Gral. Shahnawaz Tanai. I really appreciate it, since in order to achieve a good article, language is also an important factor on it. Cheers !"

- Messhermit 21:20, 29 November 2005 (UTC) [12] (Response to non-English speaker's request for review of one of his new articles)

• "Nice work FT2 - the article is stronger for your efforts."

- StephenHildrey 20:46, 13 December 2005 (UTC) [13] after sorting out a stable intro on trusted Computing that both sides in the edit war were happy with.

- Sonjaaa 04:17, 28 April 2006 (UTC) [16]

• "I think along with me you probably put the most work into this article. If I am right that we had achieved (after a lot of struggle) a very stable consensus, you were part of that, and should comment. I appreciate your help"

• "I came across FT2 only a few weeks ago, while collaborating on a policy page. It was one of these cases in which you find a Wikipedian that cares about the project, does not mince words, is proactive in finding common ground with others, does not hesitate to give credit to his fellow editors when due, and you wish you could came across more like him"

• "a very thoughtful, constructive collaborator who takes our core policies (e.g. NPOV and NOR) very seriously and is committed to adding relevant content to articles ... well-intentioned, accommodating, hard-working, and principled..."

- Slrubenstein 17:05, 13 January 2007 (UTC), RFA [19]

• "One thing that stuck out for me about him was his overwhelming degree of sanity and levelheadedness. I have seen users level the most rude and crude personal attacks against him, and FT2 has never lost his cool..."

• "I really respect your decision to withdraw ... Though I hadn't met you before today, it would be my honor to renominate you when you feel your edit summary usage has improved enough."

- Audacity 15:03, 20 June 2006 (UTC) (on withdrawal of RfA at 80% approval) [21]

• "Thanks! Thank you FT2 for merging the reindeer pages and adding a smoother apperance. I was struggling with how to make each individual article unique, but they are better merged. I am glad to see what I started has now been perfected."

• "I'm getting a good feeling about this page ... This page may save lives, may help people avoid sickness and trauma. We can be proud."
• "This is a unique page on the web. If I'm not mistaken, this is the only page on the entire web that covers this topic ... exclusively and in such depth. [...] That is surely an achievement."

- Skoppensboer 01:35, 7 December 2006 (UTC) and 18:14, 7 December 2006 (UTC) on the co-authoring of Zoophilia and health, which at one point went towards mediation before working out well. [23] [24]

• "Global Warming Thanks -- I love Wikipedia! Thanks for the thorough response. I am an English teacher at an inner city high school (Dorsey) in L.A. and I take immense comfort in recommending Wikipedia as a resource for my students to conduct research. I was alarmed at the nonsense Arnold 19 posted, but the processes you described are as much as one could hope for in this information age. I have ridden the Wiki-Wiki bus many times in Honolulu and have just now discovered the connection to Wikipedia; one more reason to feel good about this online encyclopedia. Again, thanks so much for the rapid and excellent discourse over my concerns."
