 Thanks Harrias for helping to promote Harry Lee (cricketer) to Good Article status. Please accept this little sign of appreciation and goodwill from me, because you deserve it. Keep it up, and give some a pat on the back today. --Sp33dyphil © • © 02:41, 27 November 2011 (UTC) |

 Somerset cricket: Thank you, Ben, happily settled in Somerset, for quality articles such as Somerset County Cricket Club in 2009 and the club's people such as Lionel Palairet, for featured lists of cricketers and their constant update, for "infobox tidying, add image", - you are an awesome Wikipedian! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:08, 17 July 2014 (UTC) |
 Hey Harrias, just a quick barnstar to say thanks for the many reviews of Boat Race articles you've conducted over the past year. As of this morning, I completed my (initial) goal of ensuing that every Boat Race had, not only its own article, but one that was either of GA or FA status: we now have 158 GAs and 3 FAs that we can all be proud of! It doesn't stop here, for me at least, I'm going to keep up with improving the quality of the GAs and look for more FA opportunities. Plus, there's the small matter of 70 Women's Boat Race articles to get up and running! But thanks again, and for your recent help on the inaugural race article... I couldn't have done it without your help. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:42, 16 April 2015 |
 I think you probably need one after closing out the Neelix ANI thread. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:00, 11 November 2015 (UTC) |
Thanks for grabbing that IP *pheww*  samtar {t} 11:30, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

 I've noticed you recently have been reviewing a lot of the Sports articles at GAC, and want you to know it noticed and appreciated. Good job. Kaiser matias (talk) 02:24, 12 November 2017 (UTC) |
For solving the banner syntax issue, it's my shout! Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 07:38, 9 October 2019 (UTC) |
 By the authority vested in me by myself it gives me great pleasure to present you with this barnstar in recognition of the exceptionally detailed and thorough reviews which you have given to so many articles, resulting in profound improvements in their quality. I am specifically thinking of Battle of Pontvallain where you went considerably above and beyond the call of reviewerhood, but also of the many others which have felt your insightful and improving touch. Ideally I would be able to say "thank you" with a beer; as it is, all I can give you is this barnstar. Thank you. Gog the Mild (talk) 21:38, 2 December 2019 (UTC) |
 Thank you for your hard work on the English Civil War! Hope you can make it a Good Article topic!! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:51, 2 February 2020 (UTC) |
For your diligence, consistency, and going above and beyond when reviewing many articles at GAN, MILHIST ACR, and FAC. It is greatly appreciated! buidhe 18:48, 5 March 2020 (UTC) |
My sympathy for the trolling on your FA nom. Such a second-rate reviewer shouldn't be allowed anywhere near FA, but he'll be allowed to fester there, driving away good editors with no benefit to anyone or anything but his own paltry ego. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 08:22, 16 April 2020 (UTC) |
Awarded jointly and severally to Harrias and Lee Vilenski for coordinating, to BlueMoonset for support, to MrLinkinPark333, The Rambling Man and Vami IV for answering questions on the talk page, and to everyone else who made the spring 2020 GAN backlog drive a welcoming and enjoyable event. Reidgreg (talk) 15:21, 2 June 2020 (UTC) |
 By the authority vested in me by myself it gives me great pleasure to present you with this barnstar in recognition of your going waaay beyond the call of duty in producing a magnificent set of maps for Battle of Dunbar (1650). Gog the Mild (talk) 19:20, 21 July 2020 (UTC) |
 By the authority vested in me by myself it gives me great pleasure to present you with this barnstar in recognition of your ridiculous generosity in helping make Battle of Dunbar (1650) a Featured Article. We couldn't have done it without you and it was a pleasure working with you. We must do it again sometime. Gog the Mild (talk) 18:58, 6 September 2020 (UTC) |
 Maps come under geography don't they? And you deserve a barnstar for redoing the map in First Punic war to accommodate my pedanticisms. So I hereby award you a Geography barnstar for your improved Punic war map. ϢereSpielChequers 19:17, 7 September 2020 (UTC) |
Your map making skills are impressive enough, but the speed with which you can put one together is startling. You saved my blushes and I owe you a(nother) pint. Please accept this until the real thing turns up. Gog the Mild (talk) 20:37, 28 October 2020 (UTC) |
 Harrias is a 15 year veteran with over 500 articles created and yet, in all that time, appears never to have received this award, which seems odd. He has been enormously helpful with reviewing and contributing to several articles I've written, and I see him regularly contributing to the MilHist and FAC processes. He consistently offers advice which is constructively critical, content-focussed and founded in a deep knowledge both of subject matter and wiki-savoir-faire. He is approachable and enormously helpful to new and experienced editors alike. He has taught himself .svg mapmaking in order to produce high quality maps, several of which grace FAs. He amends existing maps at short notice in order to help FAC nominators keep grouchy reviewers happy. He actively participates in the WikiCup and is a newly elected coordinator at MilHist. A truly deserving recipient. Girth Summit (talk · contribs) 16:20, 16 January 2021 (UTC) |
 For your excellent work on expanding and saving Montagu Toller's article from AfD. Thank you! Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 09:33, 9 May 2022 (UTC) |
