The Original Barnstar | |
Hey! I've noticed your substantial expansion of the Second Italo-Ethiopian War article, as well as on its battles, and I just wanted to give you a barnstar in appreciation. There aren't many with the knowledge or access to the sources to expand these articles so substantially, so it's great to see someone like you come along and improve them. Keep on doing what you're doing, there's plenty who appreciate it. ;) — ዮም | (Yom) | Talk • contribs • Ethiopia 02:22, 16 August 2008 (UTC) |
