Originally titled My sincere appreciation...

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
In an era when too many editors believe that Wikipedia is all about fixing trivial grammatical errors or deleting articles, it is the rare editor who tirelessly works to expand the articles that need expansion. As part of your extensive work on New York City-related articles, your recent edits to Canarsie, Brooklyn doubled the size and number of sources, while making a substantial improvement in the core content of the article; this one edit alone, which added more than 22,000 characters to the article, equals what would have been weeks -- if not months -- of contributions by the overwhelming majority of other editors. This article is just one of many that have benefited from your attention.
Please accept my sincere appreciation. Alansohn (talk) 03:55, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
