A good close, thank you
I missed the discussion at Talk:1993_UEFA_Champions_League_final, but glad to see you came to the correct conclusion anyway. This is the third such RM, and we've come to the same conclusion every time, so I'm not really sure why people are still opposing it. Old habits die hard, I guess. Well done for seeing through all that! Cheers — Amakuru (talk) 17:16, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
- Happy to be of help and maaaaybe just maybe help people get back to, yknow, writing an encyclopedia :) — Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 17:30, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
Precious
healthcare
Thank you for quality articles beginning with So You've Been Publicly Shamed in 2015, for contributing to articles about healthcare, such as Dutasteride, based on scientific expertise (pictured), for discussion before a move, for taking care of the health of the project, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!
You are recipient no. 2797 of Precious, a prize of QAI. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:43, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
- This is a prestigious award. Congrats Shibbolethink. Great job with content creation :) –Novem Linguae (talk) 23:30, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you Gerda, this is an honor and I can tell from the list of past awardees that this is a club worth its salt :) and for your kind words as always NL :D It's been a pleasure to work with you to slice to a consensus in these bogged down discussions like a hot knife through butter (as they say round here, buttah!) — Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 07:42, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Accidental click
Dear User:Shibbolethink, I apologise for the revert I made here. It was due to an accidental click as I have the page on my watchlist. Kind regards, AnupamTalk 13:22, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
- All good :) — Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 14:47, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
Thanks
For seeing to this. Despite their claim to the contrary, that duck was quacking loudly. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 18:09, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
- 100%. Coincidences happen, but they rarely look so perfectly yellow and squeaky. — Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 18:10, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
"It doesn't have to be like this" discussion
You wrote: 'We should still have a place for uninvolved editors to contribute, because they are the "aggrieved parties"'. I think you meant "involved". -- Colin°Talk 17:53, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
- ahhh yes, thank you good catch — Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 18:05, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

You might be a smidge past the 20 diff limit. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 17:57, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- hahahaha yes. I will put a note about that, volunteering to remove some diffs. It's only an issue because the misbehavior itself involves many repeated actions of the user. — Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 17:58, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- I think point 3 in particular could look be three examples and "more diffs available on request". Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 18:01, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- Excellent advice and done. Let me know if you think there are any other kind of extraneous or distracting points or diffs that could be trimmed — Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 18:28, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- That was the low-hanging fruit. I think the exasperation I feel at dealing with the user at the article/talk page is dampening my interest in participating at AE. Might be able to muster up a short statement in the next 24 hours or so. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 18:39, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- Probably best to put the revert diff times in UTC. Your "Later ..." diff #2 has the wrong time (regardless of time zone). Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 06:22, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
- Ah yes, they are in my time zone. fixing, thank you! — Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 06:35, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
