The Barnstar of High Culture | ||
I commend your hard work on William Shakespeare. Choosing to edit such a high-profile, controversial and research-intensive article is a mark of patience, perseverance and dedication to Wikipedia that is rarely seen. We clearly need more editors, such as yourself, who are willing to dedicate their time and energy to writing articles about their areas of expertise. Awadewit | talk 04:41, 12 August 2007 (UTC) |
The Barnstar of Good Humour | ||
In small recognition of your consistently witty edit-summaries, which are a joy to read, please accept this Barnstar of Good Humour. --ROGER DAVIES talk 18:40, 27 December 2007 (UTC) |
The Half Barnstar | ||
For your very fine work on Hamlet with Wrad --ROGER DAVIES talk 19:25, 31 December 2007 (UTC) |
The Editor's Barnstar | ||
I award you this Barnstar for your tireless and fine work on Hamlet, while at the same time staying in good spirits. I haven't had the chance to work with you directly much, but your contributions deserve some recognition (though it looks like you've already got lots of it.) Happy Editing!

The Original Barnstar | ||
…for your amazing rewrite of the Romeo and Juliet Screen adaptations section. It was good but your rewrite is magnificent. If we can achieve that quality for the rest of the article it'll be FA in no time! --Xover (talk) 11:43, 26 July 2008 (UTC) |
The Invisible Barnstar | ||
As per always, you've snuck in and done a massive and spectacular job on King Lear, without getting yourself embroiled in the seemingly inevitable dramaz! For this you get The Invisible Barnstar, since I couldn't find the Ultimate Barnstar of Epic Awsomeness that you really deserve (if you keep this up may have to create one, just for you).

Request reason:
Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 155.190.0.0/16. I don't know whether the IP ought to be blocked but my experience in the past was that if I actually logged in from a blocked IP - and since I was never personally blocked - Wikipedia editing would work. This time it hasn't - I've logged in as myself and I remain blocked. Do you know why this is happening? If you refuse the unblock is there a workaround? AndyJones (talk) 13:28, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Glad you asked, because yes there is. This decline is purely procedural, as your account is not blocked so, one workaround would be editing from another IP not on the blocked range. But the better option is to go to WP:IPECPROXY and follow the instructions there to request IP block exemption, which would make any proxy blocks you might get caught in into proxy blocks other users get caught in. — Daniel Case (talk) 07:31, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the ((unblock)) template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Andy! As I live and breathe...
Great to see you're still around (in general), and great to see you around (here) again. The place is still a dump, but it tends to get magically better whenever you spend time here. :)
For my own part I spend most of my time over on Wikisource these days, transcribing old public domain books (well, and helping with the nerdy bits), but I sometimes pop back over. Pure dumb luck it should be the same day you did.
In any case… Good to see you! Xover (talk) 19:55, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
For the long version, see WP:Short description and WP:HOWTOSD. For the reason that they are restricted to just 40 characters, see Wikipedia talk:Short description/Archive 9#Length – 40 or 90 characters??
As well as giving a capsule response to a search, they are also used by ((annotated link)) in wp:see also lists, as way to suggest to readers why they might want to explore further. As you know, some article names are terse and thus only meaningful to readers who already know about a topic. So in the case you raised, this is the effect:
The abbreviated form ((anli)) is more convenient. Welcome back to the time sink. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 16:25, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
Perhaps you already know this, but the actual Hamlet quote is "The apparel oft proclaims the man". One of those "Who wrote that? Eh, probably Shakespeare." things. Upstart Crow had fun with that. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 12:56, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
Hey Andy, I noticed after posting my own ANI complaint that you had taken an interest in the issue, and thought you might appreciate a bit more context. — Personman (talk) 09:09, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
