The Original Barnstar
Thank you for your help on Francis Pharcellus Church-- your copyediting was invaluable in catching the (number) of errors my rushed editing made, not to mention the great content you found, specifically (though not exclusively) by tracking down Bigelow-- great find! The article would not look near as good without your help, and I'm excited to see the article grace the main page come Christmas! As Church himself wrote; "Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world." I like to think that collaboration is one of those overlooked wonders. Happy holidays and I wish you all the best in the year to come! Eddie891 Talk Work 22:50, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Reilly, for beginning articles about historic places such as Strivers' Section Historic District, for quality copy-editing and adding to content on the way as for Francis Pharcellus Church, for your first DYK in 15 years of service, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!
