Really sorry I have long been absent from Wikipedia and you had to bear all the troubles for my FA Topic idea (better than my earlier GA Topic idea!)

For your contributions to bring Onion (estimated annual readership: 720,000+) to Good Article status, I hereby present you the Half Million Award. Congratulations, and thanks for all you do for Wikipedia's readers! Plantdrew (talk) 15:52, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
I'm really excited about the prospect of a high-level general interest article like Sea becoming a featured article! I know, I wasn't able to support (nor oppose), and I do hope the discrepancy (between what most articles seem to mean when they link to "Sea" and what the article mainly concerns) is eventually resolved. But I wish all the best for the article, sincerely.
Also, I notice that desert is a GAN, and I am very tempted to review... but "desert" is such a broad article with so many diverse facets that it's intimidating for me even to review (and I think other reviewers feel the same). I can only imagine the work it took to get it into the great shape that it's in.
Thanks for improving such important articles! All the best, – Quadell(talk) 11:19, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
The Writer's Barnstar
Your work on Birth is an excellent improvement of a very important topic (presumably on the vital articles list somewhere, and at any rate gets more than 1/8 million yearly views) and I commend your thoughtfulness in noticing the need and then acting on it. (A second barnstar for the same achievement is well deserved!) --Demiurge1000 (talk) 20:40, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
