A barnstar for you!

	The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
	Hi, because of lack of time, i was not able to complete the article yesterday, thank you very much for taking the time to explain me how to use the Harv style and for completing (and correcting my mistakes) my edits at Medo-Babylonian conquest of the Assyrian Empire. Cheers. ---Wikaviani 21:36, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

@Wikaviani: Thanks! Glad I could help. M.Bitton (talk) 23:47, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
	It’s always great to see more people fighting vandalism. Have a star! JebTalk at me here 23:41, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

@Jebcubed: Thank you so much for your encouragement. M.Bitton (talk) 23:57, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!

I see that you check recent edits for appropriateness. I clicked through to see a set of the reversions that you had made for rejected submissions, and I agreed with all of what I saw you had done. It seemed apparent to me through the decisions you made and the comments that you left that you were giving human attention to the decisions you made rather than over-relying on tools and automation. Thanks for that, and thanks especially for the notes you leave. You are doing good review. Blue Rasberry (talk) 01:39, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

@Bluerasberry: Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. Best, M.Bitton (talk) 22:07, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Another barnstar for you!

		The Original Barnstar
		For answering a lot of edit requests and helping to keep the backlog at bay. For a while, I was taking care of that on my own, and it feels nice to see someone else get to it first every now and then! Actualcpscm (talk) 17:22, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

@Actualcpscm: thank you very much for the encouragement and for tackling those time consuming edit requests that tend to be pushed to the back of the queue. Keep up the great work! Best, M.Bitton (talk) 22:39, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

A barnstar for your incredible work on the Horn of Africa relief map :)

		The Original Barnstar
		Here's a barnstar for your incredible work on the Horn of Africa relief map! Really appreciate the effort you put into it :) KluskaSlaska (talk) 16:21, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

Also, on a related note, I would love to do some more map work once I have more time in late summer. Do you have any good guides on how to get started on maps for Misplaced Pages? :) KluskaSlaska (talk) 16:21, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

@KluskaSlaska: Thank you so much for your feedback. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any good guides that would help you. Best, M.Bitton (talk) 14:02, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

		The Graphic Designer's Barnstar
		Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed in myself for not giving this to you sooner! You have been a great help creating maps for many articles, don't stop doing what you do! – Treetoes023 (talk) 22:09, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

@Treetoes023: Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. Best, M.Bitton (talk) 12:01, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Barbary slave trade

Due to unrelated drama I won't bore you with, I found myself looking at the history of this article, and uuh, thanks. A whole lot of POV-pushing was going on. When I have fewer tabs open I will try to remember to come back and give you a barnstar.

A barnstar for you!

	The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar

A barnstar for you again!

I believe that looking at the archives justifies our caution. 🇺🇦 Fiddle Faddle 🇺🇦 08:59, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

@Timtrent: since the SPI has been closed with no action, all we can do is comment on the requests and keep an eye on them. M.Bitton (talk) 21:09, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

I agree. I suppose a disposable IP address is what they are going to use now. I will let obvious useful things through, but not the self aggrandising claptrap. I do not believe the gentleman to be straightforward. 🇺🇦 Fiddle Faddle 🇺🇦 21:25, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

@Timtrent: I agree. The Philanthropic part (I can't even find a reasonable word to describe it) is definitely UNDUE. M.Bitton (talk) 21:38, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

It's the self justifying bullshit for being wealthy, and not being a necessarily decent human being. A lot of the article history contains contemptible and referenced behaviours. Between my post and yours I said no. 🇺🇦 Fiddle Faddle 🇺🇦 21:50, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

about reverting edit

Hi I hope you’re doing well. I noticed that the photo I added for the Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania was reverted with (not improvement comment) , and I’m a bit confused about why. The picture I uploaded is well-framed, complete, and clearly represents the monument without any major obstructions.the one currently used is partially hidden by a tree, which doesn’t highlight the monument as effectively. Also, it’s worth mentioning that this photo was one of the Top 10 winners in the 2020 Wiki Loves Monuments Algeria competition, so I believe it meets high standards in terms of quality and representation. Could you explain what was considered a “negative performance” in this awesome photo? I’d really appreciate your feedback so I can better understand the decision and contribute more effectively in the future. Dezedien (talk) 17:46, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

I don't see it as an improvement (it's too dark), but you're welcome to start a discussion about it and see what the others think. M.Bitton (talk) 19:24, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

Yes for sur, why not Dezedien (talk) 22:03, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
