the Original Barnstar
I don't think I've ever given a barnstar before. I've seen them handed out for a lot of good but minor work, but I wanted to recognize the serious effort you put into the AMX article. Your perseverance and drive made that article what it is today and you were able to do it while working with Malik. Thanks again. Protonk (talk) 02:11, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
Thank you Protonk! This means a lot because of the tremendous effort, so thanks for reinforcing my good behaviors and hard work, and for encouraging cooperation with Malik, the article, wiki, and I am better off for your efforts. — GabeMc (talk) 02:18, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

For all your hard work on bringing The Autobiography of Malcolm X to Good Article status. Thank you, and congratulations. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 17:40, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
Thank you Malik, the article would not be GA if not for your input, I am proud to have worked with you on the article. — GabeMc (talk) 20:02, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Here's a special barnstar for GabeMc, who has put up with incredible amounts of guff lately and has not given up on the Wiki. Keep rocking, Dianna (talk) 02:06, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Yes, it was fun to see one of "us" get picked up by the press. A friend of mine sent me the article, not knowing perhaps that I'd already participated in the poll! --Jprg1966 (talk) 20:10, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
the Check's in the Mail Barnstar
In partial compensation for your invaluable and incredibly thorough editing of the Mitt Romney article during its successful featured article candidacy, this check is, one would hope if one were gullible, in the mail. Seriously, best wishes to you, Gabe. What you did was truly amazing. --Anythingyouwant (talk) 00:35, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

the Teamwork Barnstar
You, Anythingyouwant and Wasted Time deserve any one of several barnstars for your work at Mitt Romney's FAC, but I chose this one because of your tireless effort cooperating with the other two in resolving the many many issues that had to be tackled. Congratulations on helping get the article to where it is. hamiltonstone (talk) 00:51, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
the Barnstar of Diligence
For the huge amount of research you did to show that, mid-sentence, "the Beatles" should be used instead of "The Beatles", except of course when referring to the album The Beatles. Rothorpe (talk) 00:45, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

Brilliant work on your latest FA! However happy he is about it though, Ringo wants to remind you of two possible future FA's of the men who made this group possible. CassiantoTalk 19:58, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

GabeMc, for your skilled writing on a series of rock music FAs which have been further complimented with the promotion of Jimi Hendrix. Sorry I couldn't get there to vote, but for what it's worth, I would have supported nonetheless. Congratulations! CassiantoTalk 21:01, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

GabeMc, I award you this barnstar for all your contributions to Jimi Hendrix, but especially for your recent addition of two iconic images.

For getting Canadian drug charges and trial of Jimi Hendrix‎ through the gruelling FA process. I wonder what Hendrix would do with a Parker Fly? Curly Turkey (gobble) 23:47, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
Gabe, although I did some work in sourcing and copyediting where I could, and fielding questions at PR and FAC, there is no way this would have ever been probably one of the best and most important FAs on Wikipedia of all time without your input and time and dedication in fielding the most nitpicking of nitpickers that FAC throws at editors. Well done. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:25, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
The Special Barnstar
For your superb work on Sgt. Pepper's, easily the best album article on Wikipedia. May your wonderful FAs long continue! Cassiantotalk 01:50, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
