The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
Just stopping by to say thank you for all that you do for Canadian articles. Moxy (talk) 14:31, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
The Brilliant Idea Barnstar
I just want to say thanks for all your efforts in regards to Template:Infobox province or territory of Canada. Unlike some other editors, you were quick to find a brilliant solution to an outstanding problem that would otherwise have lingered in limbo! Vaselineeeeeeee (talk) 12:40, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
The Silver Maple Leaf Award
This maple leaf is awarded to Hwy43 for writing a dozen new articles, making hundreds of census updates and many other quality improvements during The 10,000 Challenge of WikiProject Canada. Congratulations, and thank you for your contributions! Reidgreg (talk) 15:22, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
The Barnstar of Diligence
For catching the sockpuppet Saboteurest. Not only did you singularly detect a sock who was brazenly operating under the radar of numerous administrators and Arbcom itself, but you singularly neutralized an extraordinarily manipulative and malicious editor who subtly disrupted the project and drained the community's time and effort. Exceptional job. Swarm 20:22, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

The Washing Machine of "That SPI was Pretty Good"
There's a lot of bad SPIs, and clerks and admins tend to complain about it. When I taught middle-schoolers I was always told that positive reënforcement is better than negative, so, in an attempt to apply the same principle here, I present you the second Washing Machine of "That SPI was Pretty Good", for an SPI that was, well, pretty good. Filings about "I know it when I see it" IP LTAs can often be some of the most frustrating to clerk, and instead here I was able to digest your evidence and reach a decision in under 15 minutes. Thank you! -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 08:00, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

== Municipal census populations ==
[[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello, I'm [[User:Hwy43|Hwy43]]. I noticed that you made a change to an article, [[:, Alberta|]], involving substitution of the latest federal census ([[:Statistics Canada]]) population with a more recent municipal census population. It's since been removed per [[:WP:CANPOP]], which states "the population figure from the last official Statistics Canada census is the primary and definitive source for population data in articles." This allows for consistent comparison among all municipalities and communities across Canada.<p>Do note however that the more recent municipal census population is already mentioned in the [[:, Alberta#Demographics|Demographics]] section per [[:WP:CANPOP]], which further states "properly sourced intercensal population updates from … a formal municipal census such as those in Alberta, may be provided in ''addition'' to the 2016 census data."<p>If you need guidance on including population figures on Canadian articles, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on [[User_talk:Hwy43|my talk page]]. Thank you. ~~~~
