	The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
	For your hard work on New Zealand topics over the years! † Encyclopædius 11:21, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

		The Barnstar of Good Humor!
		At the DYK conversation about the PBS station your ALT1 comment was a real joy to read. I'll admit I was a bit embarrassed about flubbing that review but your joke really lifted my spirits. Thanks for keeping this place light and fun.

Thanks, Dr vulpes. What happened is that I laughed really hard about RoySmith's ALT0. But then I thought "that's not really fair on a DYK newbie", hence I dished out my ALT1 in return. I hope RoySmith got a laugh out of it, too. Schwede66 09:23, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

I meant no disrespect with ALT0, and thank you for improving upon my attempt at humor. RoySmith (talk) 13:39, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

		The DYK Medal
		For the significant work of managing the posting of 2020 Summer Olympics hooks. CMD (talk) 15:58, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Although suspected rigging of the rowing events to validate your article writing should be of concern to future Olympics organisers. CMD (talk) 15:58, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, CMD! I can confirm that the NZOC is unconcerned. Schwede66 16:51, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

The Special Barnstar

A huge thank you for your support of Auckland Museum's successful Alliance fund application "Understanding our past:using Wikipedia as a tool to support local history in Tāmaki Makaurau". The strong support from editors greatly strengthened our application and we're looking forward to collaborating with the community in the new year to implement the project. Best wishes, James (Auckland Museum) Jetaynz (talk) 04:22, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Oh, your funding application was successful, Jetaynz? That is wonderful news. Schwede66 08:36, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

	Thank you for being so kind to the community. I really liked your friendly behavior on this deletion request and on this Did You Know nomination. Such behavior keeps the enivornment healthy and allows others to learn from their mistakes. Thanks a lot for everything that you do on this encyclopedia! ─ The Aafī (talk) 03:46, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, TheAafi. That’s much appreciated. It was clear to me that we were dealing with a newbie who seemed to have good intentions. It’s always best to be kind. Schwede66 09:18, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, Lightburst. It's been a pleasure working with you. I especially appreciated you chipping in some QPQs with our mass-MP nomination, and I'm sure that DrThneed will join in thanking you. Thank you kindly for the nice holiday award. In fact, I've just finished the last work task for the year (yes, on a Saturday at that!), so now the holidays have actually started.
