  The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar
I, David Shankbone, bestow upon you, Sir Pete Forsyth, the Defender of the Wiki Barnstar for your diligent work in defending you-know-what article against you-know-who, and for being an all around cool Wikipedian. David Shankbone 01:50, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Given to Pete for taking the lead on getting Columbia River to Good Article status - congratulations! Given with respect and admiration, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 22:03, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
Well deserved. Congrats! Katr67 (talk) 01:01, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
Blushing! Thank you both. The article would not be nearly so good, but for the recent surge in contributions from Skookum, Northwesterner1, Pfly, Finetooth, and others... -Pete (talk) 03:20, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
Excellent work, Pete, and congratulations. I think FA is on the horizon, and I'll be helping out when I can. Northwesterner1 (talk) 18:33, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Pete, I can leave it up till Monday. Speaking of the COTW, I was just looking for the award, and it and the main WPOR award are no longer on the project page. Do you know where they got moved too? Aboutmovies (talk) 04:28, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

You are hereby granted this shiny object for all your hard work at WikiProject Oregon!

Award edit

  The Firefly Award

Your wise, encouraging words at Jamesontai's RfA were a breath of fresh air and have earned you this award. Best regards, Húsönd 00:35, 16 September 2008 (UTC)


Hello, thanks so much for the concern and the helpful resource! I'm pretty sure my teacher is aware the difficulty of the assignment, but he knows we are up for the challenge. Yes, I am still looking for assistance, and it would be greatly appreciated if you could help me in any way!

I did eventually decide on a topic, Coronary Disease. But here is another, more lengthy article on the same topic, that I must have overlooked: Coronary Artery Disease. I now do not know if this article is even a stub, so I might have to change my topic...? If you have any thoughts, let me know what you think, but I will talk to my teacher. Anyways, thank you very much for the interest in my project! --LNG123 (talk) 02:04, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

  The Socratic Barnstar
I just read this post of yours and have to say, this is probably the best and clearest explanation I've ever seen of how people start out here and how we should treat each other. This should be a motto for all of us. Politizer talk/contribs 23:14, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Real life edit

  The Real Life Barnstar
This is measly reward for the dedication Pete has shown to Wikimedia, wikis, collaboration and transparency through his tireless real world advocacy as a member of WikiProject Oregon. To call this barnstar long overdue would be an understatement. Steven Walling (talk) 20:48, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
  Wikipedia Motivation Award
With a Real Life Barnstar cluster. For continuing to promote Wikipedia, and WikiProject Oregon, to the rest of the world, and in real life, and especially for tomorrow's radio show. Good job! Katr67 (talk) 19:38, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
