Special Barnstar

	The Special Barnstar
	At the end of December 2010 you helped me to unify my account on Wikimedia (at that time I was Lokomotiv on Commons)... Avoiding me future technical headaches :-) . I remember we met on mIRC, I remember that you were Dutch, but not the nick. Now, I found you. With 6 years of delay, my "official" thanks for that suggestion, that nite on IRC.
