The Gastropod-star
For all the good work you have already put into ProjectGastropods, I award you, Daniel, this Barnstar. Congratulations! Invertzoo (talk) 12:40, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
A piece of Jimbo's star
For the hard work that Daniel has already put into helping make WikiProject Gastropods as great as it is, I award you a nice-sized chunk of the barnstar that Jimbo gave us on July 25 2009 at Wiki-Conference New York. This piece of star has a diamond in it! Invertzoo (talk) 12:40, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
A Barnstar!
The Barnstar

This Barnstar is for you because you are a good Wikipedian. --Snek01 (talk) 15:46, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
The Good Article Medal of Merit 
This is for you Daniel. It is awarded to you because of all of the hard work you have put into several gastropod-related articles, including Byne's Disease, Eustrombus gigas, Strombus canarium, starting some of them from scratch, and bringing them all up to the level of Good Article, with more in the works! Congratulations. You are a real asset to the encyclopedia, and to WikiProject Gastropods in particular. Invertzoo(talk) 15:29, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
The Gastropod Barnstar
For the hard work that you Daniel have put into Wikiproject Gastropods this year, helping improve our coverage of Strombidae and working towards GA and FA status on some of our articles, I award you this Gastropod Barnstar. Congratulations and all the very best wishes for 2013! Invertzoo(talk) 20:05, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Mollusks
Thank you, Daniel, for quality articles on marine life based on scientific research, beginning with Melo melo and "crowned" today by Laevistrombus canarium (dog conch), for enjoying teamwork, for excellent images and for the amusing way you describe yourself as one of the creatures which "may cause further wiki-environmental alterations", - you are an awesome Wikipedian!
