[edit] Barnstars

I award this barnstar for your numerous valuable contributions to Wikipedia DaGizza^Chat ^© 12:48, 28 January 2006 (UTC)	I award this Barnstar to Lacatosias for excellent contributions to article Ganesha	I award the Star of Sophia Barnstar to Lacatosias for greatly improving the philosophy of mind articles and his tireless efforts to improve the quality of Philosophy on Wikipedia. Poor Yorick 00:43, 13 March 2006 (UTC)	For bestowing Wikipedia's learning environment its pleasant atmosphere with eminent politeness and synergistic cooperation, I award The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar to Lacatosias. -- O process 00:45, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Your work on Hilary Putnam is fantastic and is what this barnstar is all about! Good job. Æon ^{Insane Ward} 20:44, 6 August 2006 (UTC)	I award you the Resilient Barnstar for standing tall in the face of the worst that FAC could throw at you and making Hilary Putnam an example of what Wikipedia should be. --PresN 21:54, 8 August 2006 (UTC)	Another Barnstar for resilience in the Hilary Putnam FAC, win or lose (though I can't imagine how it could be a loss at this point). You managed to improve the article to what is certainly FA quality, despite the obvious stress such a situation must have placed on you. Not to take sides in any disputes that occurred. I don't have an opinion there. This is an award on the basis of dedication. That was a truly historic FAC, and hopefully not something that will ever happen again. For remaining dedicated in the face of unbelievable conflict, you have earned this Barnstar as surely as anyone in FAC ever has. Great work. This will be an inspirational and legendary FAC someday. Ryu Kaze 22:42, 8 August 2006 (UTC)	The Tireless Contributor Barnstar. I award this Barnstar to Lacatosias not only for your work on the Free Will FAR (which was substantial), but also for your overall contributions to improving Philosophy on Wikipedia.
