In recognition of the fact that you actually deserve more than one Barnstar for your recent work, Ched in his typically lazy manner drops off your "Dual-Boot" Barnstar for:
silent support
I sing a "Lied one Worte" (Song without words) to praise your good and helpful advice about what to ignore, - repeating: you are an awesome Wikipedian (2 January 2009)!
A year ago, you were the 26th recipient of my PumpkinSkyPrize, - I miss you! Can't you ignore a bit more? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:24, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi. I know we have never interacted, but I just want to say thanks for all of your contributions at Wikipedia. I'm deeply sorry that you have decided to leave us. You have been such a valuable and good administrator and editor, and though you may have some disputes and disagreements with other editors, please don't let any type of abuse get to you. Seriously, we need kind, considerate and trusted administrators like you here. I do hope you consider returning to Wikipedia soon. In the meantime, I would like to wish you the best of luck with your future endeavours. With warmest regards and respect, Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 05:08, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
I fully endorse the above sentiments. My76Strat (talk) 05:25, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
For your brilliant admin work and initiative fighting socks in the chronically sock-plagued area of K-pop articles. This includes investigating the socks and following up with protection of the articles they frequented. This type of holistic approach to admin work is welcome, reassuring, and very much needed and appreciated. Thank you very much Dreadstar. Δρ.Κ.λόγοςπράξις 05:08, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
For your outstanding support and dedication in getting Yogo sapphire from a new article to DYK to GA to FA and FOUR. The team effort of the uncountable people involved in getting this unique article to FA is a textbook case of teamwork in article improvement, ie, what Wikipedia should be, not what it all too often is. I can never thank everyone enough. PumpkinSkytalk 23:17, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for adding some lightness and fun to Wikipedia with your WP:V exit comments. A real blessing after the never ending circular, heated, haven't-we-done-this-before, and so somewhat surreal environment of the WP:V talk page. olive (talk) 04:18, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
For all the great work in getting Yogo sapphire to Good Article, my first. Thanks to users Dreadstar, Montanabw, Tim1965, Mike Cline, and Gerda Arendt! PumpkinSkytalk 01:08, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
Whereas, Dreadstar has shown himself to be a member of the community distinguished for his devotion to the Wikipedia project; Therefore be it resolved, that this Barnstar of Integrity is affixed to his wall. Will Bebacktalk 11:21, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
Wow, thanks Will, this really means a lot! Dreadstar☥ 03:15, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for taking the time to sort out a problem quickly and decisively despite a full plate of your own! You are appreciated. Drmargi (talk) 03:49, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
I award you this Barnstar for taking a stand against the evils of Vandalism and blocking the IP 192.160.165.63 Cheers! Bped1985 (talk) 02:56, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
Just a little something to thank you for handling the various concerns on the Andrew Cuomo page with great professionalism, knowledge, persistence, and patience...and even a little forgiveness ;) Sinisterminister (talk) 05:50, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
What an incredible learning experience this has been for me, largely watching from the sidelines. You have scored yourself an[other] admirer, for sure!! Sinisterminister (talk) 05:50, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
For reporting a situation that could have resulted in a real life massacre I present you this barnstar. Thank you. +Hexagon1(t) 05:23, 29 April 2008 (UTC)+Hexagon1(t) 05:26, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Initiative in dealing with situations like this is essential, and for all we know you may have saved lives the moment you posted that. Good work! +Hexagon1(t) 05:23, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Very nicely handled Dreadstar, I thought - smooth with litte room for personal insults and hurt. Learned a lot from observing this process.(olive 00:34, 23 July 2007 (UTC))
I, Stormtracker94, award you the Vandal Eliminator Award for amazing vandal fighting and RC Patrol. STORMTRACKER94 Go Irish! 17:39, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
For finding key public domain documents that proved George Thomas Coker's military record and were key in helping improve that article and helped to settle issues regarding it, I salute and thank you! — Rlevse • Talk • 00:30, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

For your extensive work today/tonight fighting vandals, I, SharkfaceT/C, hereby award you this barnstar. Keep up the awesome work. --SharkfaceT/C 05:23, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
In recognition & thanks for your efforts in toning down the rhetoric on Andalusian horse and standing up against harassment! Montanabw(talk) 23:12, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
In the vein of your words on bestowing upon me the original star, I see you have yet to receive one of these! Thence this barnstar is given for Dreadstar's hard work in helping others, reverting vandalism and welding the block stick tactfully. Oh and for his sense of humour too! Phgao 07:05, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
And to think of the wonderful coincidence that I actually live in Melbourne!! But have never heard of the band.. but I just searched the 'pedia for something related to your name and bang, there it was. Phgao 07:19, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
In recognition & thanks for your efforts in helping us work our way towards consensus towards making Battle of Washita River a good WP:NPOV (instead of WP:SOAP) article. Still a lotta work to do, but now we can do it, in no small part because of your help. Yksin 20:03, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
HI, Dreadstar. Really appreciate the work you did in making the What the Bleep article more neutral. Thanks for your dedication to Wikipedia. TimidGuy 11:41, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

I award you this Barnstar for your continuing indefatigable contributions to the paranormal articles, in the pursuit of unbiased understanding.- Martinphi(Talk Ψ Contribs) 08:11, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
For not getting too bent out of shape over everything that's going on at Talk:John Edward. Things have gotten ugly, but you're hanging in there. Props. – Lantoka (talk) 23:57, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
When under a pile of vandalism and hundreds of recent changes, it's nice to know you're not fighting alone. spazure (contribs) (review) 04:07, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
User:Dlohcierekim has given you a Macrophage! Macrophages promote WikiLove through infiltration and by smiling on those who keep Wikipedia healthy by increasing its resistance to vandalism. Hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by giving something friendly to someone else. Make your own message to spread WikiLove to others! Happy editing!
In no way do I think you are an odd ball but I do know that you are very green for saving tree's although I really don't want to ponder the thought of you having one giant eye as well. Couldn't find a greenie barnstar maybe something to work on one day. Ta ta and see ya later. Bananas'n'Cream 06:11, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for cooling down things on chaps. I'd give you another fire extinguisher barnstar, but you already got one of those! How about a beer instead? Montanabw(talk) 18:53, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of this article know that it will be appearing as the main page featured article on March 24, 2011. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/March 24, 2011. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured article director, Raul654 (talk·contribs). If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks!

Thank you for your beautiful words and warm wishes on my birthday, dear Dreadstar! Have a wonderful day, my friend! Love, - Phaedriel
You get an extra-special large piece of cake, my friend, for all the beauty and warmth you've shared with me in the last days, and which I promise I'll reply as soon as my human abilities permit. You're very, very, very special. LOTS of xxx, Sharon 17:05, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Thank you to all who participated in my RFA- regardless of whether you supported or opposed,
all feedback is important to me. I look forward to proving in the coming months that the trust placed in me by the community is not misplaced.
