Tim riley, I want to thank you for all your time and patience in helping me make Stanley Holloway a Good Article. Without your help and guidance the article would certainly not be what it is today. After my initially troublesome start, it was you who restored my faith in Wikipedia by taking the time to improve the article whilst treating me in a friendly and resilient manner. I would also like to thank you for all your valuable and respected advice along the way. I would therefore feel honoured if you would accept this barnstar as a token of my thanks. Cassianto (talk) 18:19, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
