"all things historical"

Thank you for quality articles about history, from personal influence such as Winston Churchill to large time frames such as Bury F.C. and 10th millennium BC with scientific background, for good sports at the 1903 FA Cup Final, for reviewing articles towards good and highest quality, - Roy, take care, you are an awesome Wikipedian!

You are recipient no. 2446 of Precious, a prize of QAI. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:03, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Gerda, and thank you ever so much. This is a cup of cheer because I'm dealing with a lot of problems in real life at present, hence the unavailable notices. However, there is light at the end of the tunnel (hopefully not the train) and I should be back to normal before long. Thank you again and make sure you keep safe. All the very best. No Great Shaker (talk) 13:06, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

I am happy that you saw it as cheer as meant, and see that you and your wife could use a lot of it. Music works best for me, - take what you like. I know that bringing an established article to GA quality is extra hard (Clara Schumann, Jessye Norman). Thanks for doing such things, - nice to meet you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:02, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Three of those in just two days: caretaker, you are just amazing! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:01, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Ha, no, just lucky with GAR timings, I think. Lovely photo. No Great Shaker (talk) 07:06, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Sometimes it happens. The pic is from my calendar. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:48, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

I've managed to grow dahlias in some past years but not always. I see you have sunflowers too and I tried growing a few of those this year, starting them in the greenhouse and then planting out but the weather won and I lost them. Always next year. No Great Shaker (talk) 09:13, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Good luck next year. My small garden would not have room for them, and be too shady, - I "pick" them with the camera. Of the 12 images this year, eight were taken in walking distance. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:19, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Wonderful prose and brilliantly researched, thank you. No Swan So Fine (talk) 10:06, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Why?

Why did you undo my update? I updated to 2019 squad the clubs with most players appeared in UEFA Team of the Year. It was updated to 2018. Alessandraronaldo (talk) 12:53, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Which edit do you mean? Please provide a diff because I can't see an edit by you at UEFA Team of the Year. Have you quoted the correct article name? Or are you using more than one account? No Great Shaker (talk) 13:00, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
