For your patience and civility across wikipedia Monkeymanman (talk) 22:40, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Intervention of the type you've been delivering is EXACTLY what I've been hoping for. I'm quite surprised that -- in a sea of intransigence -- you were able to gain even a modicum of respect for your efforts, though you've now seemed to have earned far more trust than that. I don't see much room for improvement in your approach; you are, in fact, doing an exemplary job. Definitely an issue to tuck under your belt, should you ever decide to go for an adminship.

So I came here to give you this. Thanks. Sven Manguard Wha? 07:02, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi Tom, just wanted to acknowledge the great work you've been doing within MilHist lately. I know I pestered you into doing a little reviewing to help with the backlog, but half a dozen through reviews in two days is more than I had a right to ask. And of course you've written some brilliant articles of your own. Keep up the good work—I promise you it's appreciated. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:09, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
