There are people who you see editing and know their edits will be good without needing to look. Then there are those rare editors who you know will be creating something great, articles with a certain something extra. You are one of those people. Oldelpaso 18:50, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

For your work adding photos to county cup articles Robotforaday (talk) 12:20, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
I occasionally have days where I think that what we do here is probably stupid and pointless. Then I see that you've racked up yet another good or featured article, and it inspires me. So cheers! Jameboy (talk) 22:41, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Firstly, I didn't know you were one of Wikipedia's administrators. Second, the usual boring Thursday troll has been noticed before I logged on has thankfully been dealt with. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 15:06, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

For your continued work at WP:FLC. As of my writing this, you've provided input in one form or another to nearly all of the current featured list candidates, and there are several where you are the only person to do so. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 19:28, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

For saving two (!) English football-related articles at FAR. Hog FarmTalk 07:47, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
On behalf of the FAR coordinators, thank you, ChrisTheDude! Your work on History of Arsenal F.C. (1886–1966) has allowed the article to retain its featured status, recognizing it as one of the best articles on Wikipedia. This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. You may display this FA star upon your userpage. Keep up the great work! Cheers, Nikkimaria (talk) 03:58, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
