My interests are in military history, particularly the Second World War and the Civil War. I am also interested in cycling and volleyball, and the athletes of the 1980s and early 1990s that were prominent in those sports. I have a definite interest in the biographies of individuals involved in any of these areas. I am from the northwest, and live in Alaska.

The Special Barnstar
Awarded for your diligence and overall effort leading and bringing about a major edit to the Greg LeMond article: the removal of a lot of info that we agreed had to go to its own new article (thanks to your effort to seek consensus), while leaving behind an effective, appropriate summary at a time when there was seemingly no one else to turn to! joepaT 04:51, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
The Running Man Barnstar
Is presented for your distinguished, 110% effort to create a feature-level article on Greg LeMond that advances Wikipedia's coverage of sport in general, and the cycling in particular. Azx2 21:05, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
Is awarded to you for your relentless efforts during the past (month-plus) to improve the Greg LeMond article. Congrats! (I only hope that you will be able to maintain the same level of energy and commitment to improving the article, once the review is completed, which I would imagine must come before the new year...)

I don't think enough can be said about the efforts of you and your colleague(s) to make a success of the Greg LeMond article, which will no doubt come to be recognized as one of the best wikiproject cycling articles! Azx2 20:31, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
