While I edit, I tend to drink a lot of tea. Here is a cup of tea for being such an agreeable editor to work with, even when we may disagree... I can NOT say that for everyone. ♥Th78blue (talk)♥ 21:20, 11 April 2022 (UTC) The GA barnstar. Many thanks for reviewing my Good Article Nomination, it had been in the queue for quite some time. I appreciate you allowing me extra time by working around my school schedule with me (I promise I don't always take 11 days to get through a review, it's usually 2-3, 5 maximum ). When I originally nominated the article my schedule wasn't this intense and frankly this semester hadn't even been planned yet, so I didn't expect to have so little free time. That said, enjoy this barnstar as a thank you , much luck on future Wikipedia endeavors! TheDoctorWho (talk) 04:22, 15 June 2022 (UTC) DYK for Joseph Ranger (seaman).

Help needed with the Article creation at scale RfC: KrakatoaKatie, TheSandDoctor, and I have begun working on the RfC close. For Question 2, I've generated a google docs spreadsheet to help me tabulate the responses. I'm looking for a volunteer who I can deputize to proofread it for me, just to verify that I've transcribed all the data correctly. You don't need to be an admin, just somebody who didn't participate in the RfC and is willing to slog through a big pile of numbers to check them for accuracy. In return, you will earn the thanks of the committee and the right to display this handsome deputy's badge on your user page. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:28, 3 November 2022 (UTC) ::And we have a winner.

Top of my wiki-wishlist

The community is in a sort of stumbling newborn phase since ArbCom amended the extended-confirmed restriction. Newcomer and IP participation in areas covered by the restriction is now restricted to just edit requests. The word is getting out slowly, and different editor and admin are responding differently, leading to some seemingly arbitrary differences in outcomes. There will be some natural norm development, but I'm thinking about how to act myself and am interested in knowing how others are thinking about the new rules.

Alt account

Since April 2022, I sometimes edit under my alt account, Special:Contributions/Waterwangledweathers, usually when I'm on less secure devices or networks. I've edited quite a bit using IPs between 2005 and 2021 and barely at all since then.
