Maybe?

We might perhaps want to change that disambiguation page into an article? Invertzoo (talk) 11:07, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Talk page, project template

Hello XenoVon, If you could possibly routinely add the project template on the talk page of new gastropod articles that you create, that would be helpful. Then the new articles will show up in our project statistics. Thanks, Invertzoo (talk) 11:10, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Two nice pulmonate limpet articles!

Thanks XenoVon, those are nice articles and for an interesting group! Invertzoo (talk) 22:51, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

Another one

Thanks for the new freshwater limpet article, very nice! Invertzoo (talk) 12:39, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks so much XenoVon for all of the very useful hydrobiid stubs! Invertzoo (talk) 13:21, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

And thank you Invertzoo, for correcting the mistakes therein and for your kind words, which keep on motivating me and making the Wikipedia experience worthwhile and enjoyable. I hope your ankle heals soon! XenoVon (talk) 16:48, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

You are very kind yourself XenoVon! And thank you again XenoVon for even more new articles! They are very nice and very much appreciated! My ankle is coming along well, but I supposed it will be a couple more weeks at least before I can treat it as more or less normal. I realize I also sprained my knee a little bit, and my sacro-iliac joint too, so everything is healing simultaneously. Nature triumphs in the end! Invertzoo (talk) 00:42, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Autopatrolled

Hi XenoVon, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled right to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Randykitty (talk) 12:14, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

For you

		The Gastropod Barnstar
		To Xenovon for the numerous new articles you are creating that are greatly expanding the coverage of Wikiproject Gastropods, I award you this Gastropod Barnstar. Congratulations, and thank you so much for all your hard work! Invertzoo (talk) 15:34, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
