Welcome to my (rather minimalist) user and user talk page: please leave comments, questions, complaints, or just general chat below. Please provide direct links to issues you raise. I am contributing rather sporadically at present and can't promise to reply, but if I do I will reply here: if I take a while and it is important, I will drop a note on your talk page.

Precious again[edit]
treatment of editors as human beings
Thank you for voicing the right of every editor to be treated as a human being, - repeating: you are an awesome Wikipedian (21 April 2009)!

Three years ago, you were the 44th recipient of my PumpkinSky Prize, - nothing to add, and imagine it was respected! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:35, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks, Gerda, for your reminder of the wonderful community spirit there is here. It is extraordinary what Wikipedians can and have accomplished when focussed on the ideals we share rather than the issues that divide us. Geometry guy 22:08, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you, I feel the same, and appreciate it today especially when I had to revert a user on my talk who didn't read "Every editor is a human being" in my edit notice (yes, still there), - something I don't like to do. I just nominated a singer for DYK who died, - putting it all in perspective. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:15, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
- On Valentine's day, I looked up my favourite message of that kind, and found you saying "those were the days" and "Every editor who contributes with the goal of improving the encyclopedia is part of that beauty and shines in it." Thank you, whatever day, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:56, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Four years ago, you were recipient no. 44 of Precious, a prize of QAI! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:08, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
- Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana. Many thanks for the kind words Gerda and Lingzhi. Following your links brought me to my own somewhat feeble attempt at wiki-spun wisdom and humor, WP:MOSES. Alas it appears not to have caught on! Geometry guy 00:23, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

- I mentioned humour in a request for arbitration clarification, but so far the arbs are still seriuz. Fine on Good Friday. Perhaps enlightenment will come with Easter. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:08, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
