The Barnstar of Diplomacy

I'm very impressed by the way you dealt with this and avoided conflict by accepting they were created in good faith. Very rare on wikipedia. Pleasantly surprised as I was expecting to have to deal with something rather nasty but it shows a lot of respect and wisdom that you took a rain check and could forsee a lot of unwanted trouble. I agree that its not ideal but hopefully I can arrange a bot or something to help with this. I'm grateful for the effort you've put into BLPs and look forward to seeing you write! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:19, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar

Holiday greetings Mr. Decker! Thank you for your concern regarding the accuracy on my niece's page. Unfortunately her page has been vandalized several times, we have done our own investigation and came up with some names of some Salvadoran women that appear to be very jealous of my niece and keep harassing and bullying her all over the internet, and that is the reason why they keep changing my niece's information, like her DOB, they are trying to prove something. I would appreciate it if you leave it as it it. The creator of the page is intelectual123. Best regards Mr. Decker Andreslorca (talk) 00:09, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
