A barnstar for you!

	The Writer's Barnstar
	For getting two articles promoted to FA within less than 12 hours. Nobody I know of has ever accomplished such a feat before! FrB.TG (talk) 20:39, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks FrB.TG! Just checking back, it’s (somewhat surprisingly) only the third closest pair of promotions I’ve had. I’ve had a sixteen minute gap when John Gielgud was promoted at 23:12 on 19 August 2014 and George Formby at 23:28, but even that pales compared to Laurence Olivier being promoted at 22:25 on 14 February 2015 and Casino Royale (novel) a staggering two minutes later at 22:27. All three of the pairs have included a co-nom with the wonderful Tim riley, which is the key to much of the success. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 21:03, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

The Barnstar is appropriate even though SchroCat doesn't live in Barnes. I've co-nommed over the years with several superb editors, notably with the beloved and achingly missed Brian Boulton, but SchroCat is my most frequent co-nom now and I count myself lucky to work (and have lunch) with him.

• Oh no, Brian passed?! My condolences... he was a great guy. He will be missed. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 22:47, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
