[edit] Barnstar

		The Original Barnstar
		To Gmatsuda for significant expansion of Manzanar. This editor took an expanded stub and made substantial additions of content, prose, and references. Keep up the good work! Ishu 11:42, 21 April 2007 (UTC) "Manzanar" is now a credit to the encyclopedia due to your efforts. Thanks for contributing to the project. -Will Beback · † · 09:47, 8 May 2007 (UTC) Wow, just wow... You did some great work expanding the poor start class article Manzanar I started so long ago (mostly based on what a National Park service employee told my field study group - turns out he got some of the facts wrong). I'm busy now, but I look forward to reading what you've done in detail and comment on any outstanding issues you may be working through. --mav 17:09, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Congratulations

While many hands participated, it was primarily your hard work, diligence, and scholarship that resulted in the promotion of Manzanar to Feature Article status. I'm glad to see that those efforts have finally been recognized. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 22:10, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Ya did good. I'm proud to have a slight hand in your featured article. And thanks for the Barnstar. It's my first, and I'll cherish it. --Milkbreath 00:53, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar

		The Los Angeles Barnstar of Merit
		I, Taifarious1, hereby award you the Los Angeles Barnstar of Merit for your extensive and comprehensive work on the Manzanar article, no doubt single-handedly gaining its featured status, and to a lesser extent, the Los Angeles Kings article. I have reviewed the history of both articles and have seen that you have made significant contributions to both, thus making you the first winner of this award. Well done, (♠Taifarious1♠) 08:46, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Wow. I'm honored. Don't know what to say other than thank you. I look forward to continuing my work on the LA Kings article, which I intend to (eventually) get up to FA status. -- Gmatsuda (talk) 11:15, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

BTW: No, I cannot claim exclusive credit for getting Manzanar up to FA status. I may have been the primary contributor, but others were involved and deserve credit (and they know who they are, so I won't list them here). -- Gmatsuda (talk) 11:17, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Manzanar

Manzanar is a FABULOUS article. I just wanted to take a second to thank you for your wonderful work on it. I would like to see the 442nd Infantry Regiment (United States) article become as strong and well-written as is Manzanar. I will try to come back to it and help, but would be happy to work with you on it, if you like. --Kukini ^{háblame aquí} 18:32, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

I wish I could contribute more to the 100th/442nd article, but I'm a freelance writer, in addition to my day job, and I have little time these days to contribute more than constructive criticism and quick fixes. I can help with suggestions, but beyond that, I doubt I'll have much time to contribute. -- Gmatsuda (talk) 18:39, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jaren Cerf

Hi Gmatsuda, I've made a couple of comments addressing some of your concerns with this article.

[edit] AN/I discussion regarding multiple AFD "Votes"

Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Apparent_sockpuppetry.2C_multiple_voting_at_AFDs_-_Gmatsuda

Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 22:16, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Per what appears to be compelling evidence that you logged out to stack votes at AfDs--at least one of which probably wouldn't have been deleted if not for your multiple voting--you are blocked indefinitely. Regardless of contribution history, votestacking at AfDs is not acceptable. Ever. Blueboy96 23:12, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Given the results of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Gmatsuda/Archive, this block was perfectly justified. Upon my return from vacation, I will likely submit some of the AfDs you vote-stacked for DRV. — Scientizzle 17:43, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
