style="vertical-align: middle; border-top: 1px solid gray;" | Even though I have mostly left Wikipedia and I am no longer writing articles, I still pop over here now and then to see what is going on. This barnstar is to thank you for all your excellent contributions to articles about Buddhism and other subjects. You have done excellent work writing and reviewing articles and bringing them up to "Good Article" status. Back when I was still writing articles to bring them up to GA status, I knew that, whenever I needed someone to review an article for me, you were always right there. Furthermore, you were always a supremely gracious and thoughtful reviewer and I want you to know that I really appreciate that. I consider you one of Wikipedia's finest editors. —Katolophyromai (talk) 01:49, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
