	The Visionary Barnstar
	Dear Coffeeandcrumbs, I just want to be the first to congratulate you for your vision and your perseverance to create the first all-space DYK set for July 21.

Best, Yoninah (talk) 00:12, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yoninah, thank you for my first barnstar ever! And thank you for your patient and diligent assistance in getting this going. I should say that just as much credit should go to User:Kees08 without whom this would never have been possible. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 15:22, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And a special thanks to Cwmhiraeth. Your act of bravery did not go unnoticed!!! --- Coffeeandcrumbs 17:42, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, it appeared to me like you did a lot of the work in planning how to recognize the Apollo 11 anniversary this week, and I wanted to make sure you saw a compliment from a reader on WP:VPM. (I would have mentioned it where the discussions were but seems like there were many in different places.) Schazjmd (talk) 16:41, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

		The Socratic Barnstar
		For good and thoughtful comments during a RM discussion. NickCT (talk) 02:57, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey bud, quick note to let you know I was impressed by the move discussion you raised here. It's sorta fascinating how controversial "Death of..." article title moves can be, even when the logic seems obvious. Perhaps all the controversy that surrounds these talks reflects the emotion that surrounds the subject of death and dying. Don't get discouraged if the RM doesn't work. Emotion often trumps reason over the short term. But in the end, the truth will out. NickCT (talk) 02:57, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

NickCT, I thank you for the kind words. These discussions are difficult but I believe they are important. It is crucial that we question our own preconceptions; objectivity and NPOV are paramount. I always ask myself, what would an alien species who speak perfect English but have no emotions give as the title of this subject? I like to say that we are all biased and we must actively fight that bias. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 06:24, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

	The Editor's Barnstar
	Thanks for your creation of Among the Sierra Nevada, California! I saw it in person just the other day; it's a fantastic painting that definitely deserves a page. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 05:34, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

		Editor of the Week
		Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week in recognition of continuing efforts to improve WP. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)

User:ProcrastinatingReader submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:

It is my pleasure to commend User:Coffeeandcrumbs for Editor of the Week. C&C has been an editor for 3 years, and in that time they have created, and contributed to, a staggering number of quality and interesting articles. To pick a small selection of their contributions, many of which improve the encyclopaedia's coverage of women, I've particularly enjoyed reading Mae Jemison, Valentina Tereshkova (GAs) and Elizabeth Willing Powel (FA created from scratch). C&C also does tireless work behind the scenes, particularly at WP:ERRORS, WP:ITN and WP:DYK, and has thousands of edits at these venues. C&C is unfailingly polite, helpful, productive, and a model Wikipedian. I hope this award is a fitting recognition of their continuing efforts to improve the encyclopaedia.

Thanks for your edit to Marieme Lo at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marieme_Lo&diff=1208741892&oldid=1156486634 I am pretty sure that the academic and the basketball player are two different people. The basketball player was born in 1972, while the academic was born in 1966 according to the library catalog entry for her PhD dissertation. The basketball player attended Central State University, while the academic attended several different institutions including one in Paris for her undergraduate degree. The academic uses a middle name or initial, while the basketball player does not. I am also posting this message at Talk:Marieme Lo, where you may want to comment.

Hello.

In the "Attack" section of the 2024 Hezbollah headquarters strike article, can you actually display the specific bomb Mark 84 bomb with its name, which has been obscured in the Wikilink under the label "2,000-pound bombs", when the other bunker buster bombs like BLU-109 bomb are displayed with their names in the article?

(Also, if units have to be displayed, both the metric and imperial units must be displayed in Wikipedia articles, not one or the other. 95% of the world population use only the metric system.)

Thank you. Oirattas (talk) 07:05, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, you currently have a user script installed from Anne drew Andrew and Drew. Several weeks ago, I changed my username to Anne drew, and unfortunately, due to an issue with script redirects, the scripts you have installed under my old username no longer function.

To fix this, please update your JavaScript pages (Special:MyPage/common.js or Special:MyPage/skin.js) by replacing all instances of Anne drew Andrew and Drew with Anne drew.

If any of this is unclear, please ping Anne drew for help. I apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding!

Thanks – Anne drew
