The Original Barnstar | ||
I'm not sure why you haven't picked up a bevy of these already, but thanks for all your effort, particularly in tracking down good sources with diagrams, etc., on the photography- and color-related articles (not to mention fighting vandalism). Those areas of Wikipedia are much richer for your work. Cheers! —jacobolus (t) 02:05, 27 February 2008 (UTC) |
The Photographer's Barnstar | ||
To Dicklyon on the occasion of your photograph of Ivan Sutherland and his birthday! What a great gift. -User:SusanLesch 04:40, 23 May 2008 (UTC) |
All Around Amazing Barnstar | ||
For your hard work in improving and watching over the Ohm's law article SpinningSpark 00:59, 18 January 2009 (UTC) |
The Original Barnstar | ||
For your improvements to the Centrifugal force articles. Your common sense approach of creating a summary-style article at the simplified title, explaining the broad concepts in a way that is accessible to the general reader and linking to the disambiguated articles, has provided Wikipedia's readership with a desperately needed place to explain in simple terms the basic concepts involved in understanding these related phenomena. Wilhelm_meis (talk) 14:29, 6 May 2009 (UTC) |
The Surreal Barnstar | ||
For your comment here which at once admits your own errors with humility yet focusses our attention upon the real villain Egg Centric (talk) 17:09, 9 February 2011 (UTC) |
The Photographer's Barnstar | ||
For your great contribution to Wikipedia in adding pictures and illustrations to articles improving the reader's experience by adding a visual idea to the written information.--Xaleman87 (talk) 05:57, 26 February 2014 (UTC) |
The Special Barnstar | |
I could not find a barnstar for standing up to an outrageously unjust block so you get a special one. Hang in there. В²C ☎ 23:25, 3 February 2015 (UTC) |
The Resilient Barnstar | |
For your work in standardising article titles in line with the now consistent MOS:JR guidance, I present you this accolade. Your continued work in this regard, and in others, has been appreciated. It may have taken years, but much was accomplished. RGloucester — ☎ 14:44, 30 July 2016 (UTC) |
The Tireless Contributor Barnstar | ||
For an eternity of super-gnoming at WP:Requested moves to rein in entire swathes of article-titling chaos and bring them into order. I'm sure it can seem thankless work at times, so thanks! — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ< 19:41, 13 December 2017 (UTC) |
Regarding your revert
Hello Dicklyon, can you please explain and let me know why have you reverted the edit which I recently made on the United States Capitol? -TheGeneralUser (talk) 05:29, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

- Its alright, no problem. Wish you a happy new year. -TheGeneralUser (talk) 16:20, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

Personal attack
Please note I have never been a paid editor and have no coi. Repeat those allegations and i'll ask for you to be blocked.Ive just read the VP thread and had no idea the article was paid for. Also, regarding our edit disaagreement you should have started the talk page discussion as per WP:BRD Atlantic306 (talk) 12:56, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
- Please note that I did not remove a notability tag from that article so please stop with the accusations.On some articles I do remove inappropriate tags which can be added by four year olds as per WP:Overtagging but I leave a reason in the edit summary Atlantic306 (talk) 22:37, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
Capitalization of Rio Grande Rift
I wish you would have had the courtesy to let the discussion at the talk page reach resolution before reverting an edit supported by a professional style guide. Kent G. Budge (talk) 01:38, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
- And I wish you had not reverted an edit based on Wikipedia's style guide. I guess we don't always get what we want. Dicklyon (talk) 04:27, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of List of World Heritage sites in Cambodia
Hello Dicklyon,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged List of World Heritage sites in Cambodia for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals update #026, 20 Jan 2019
Well, here's the first issue of the new year. Enjoy...
New participants
A hearty welcome to new arrivals to the portals department:
Harvesting categories tool prototype
DannyS712 has created a user script prototype, User:DannyS712/Cat links, that can pull members from a category, a functionality we've been after since the project's revamp last Spring. Now, it's a matter of applying this technique to scripts that will place the items where needed, such as with a section starter script and/or portal builder script.
