Honors

		The Original Barnstar
		Your latest efforts on behalf of WP:CBBALL are greatly appreciated. You have done lots of great work for the project. However, 1997 NCAA Division III women's basketball tournament is especially exemplary because of the diligence with which you fully completed page and the extent to which you polished its presentation. Because NCAA Division III is relegated in obscurity to NCAA Division I and the project emphasizes Division I, having all men's DI and women's DIs is all that is a high priority to some. To complete the set of all men's and women's D1, D2 and D3 tournaments is of underappreciated importance for the project. Keep up the great work.TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:39, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
