The Sparky Barnstar
For your helpfulness, for your kindness, for answering questions that others would just ignore, for being there for users, dealing with the muck and mire that comes with being an admin and for doing what you can where you can to make Wikipedia a better place...I present to you the Sparky Barnstar. Congrats! - NeutralHomer • Talk • 21:48, 15 June 2010 (UTC) |
- Just lighting this up so you see it, in case you have missed it with the below messages. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 21:15, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
- Ta! See User:Gwen Gale/barn :) Gwen Gale (talk) 21:17, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
Please don't use initialisms or acronyms without linking them. --MZMcBride (talk) 02:04, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
- What didn't you understand? Gwen Gale (talk) 02:06, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
- I understood what you were saying because I've been around for a while (though "lt" took me a second because I usually see it as "NLT"). Edit summaries like this and comments like this make it really difficult for some users to follow what you're saying (which is the basic point of the essay I linked). So, if possible, please include links, at least for the first instance in a section. :-) (For what it's worth, I used to do the same thing until I had to deal with countless users reading my old deletion summaries and not having any idea what they meant.) --MZMcBride (talk) 02:24, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
- I don't do it often at all, it did flash through me thick brain that I was "acronyming, wlinkless" quite a lot there but I thought, on that page with those very experienced users, in that context, the way I was setting up the sentences I wrote, it would be hard not to understand :)

- So far nobody has told me they didn't understand, however, thanks for the helpful nudge, I do agree, one must be very mindful when skating along that edge. Gwen Gale (talk) 10:34, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
