A Cadre of Watchers
[edit]I just want to thank the many editors that obviously have this page on their watchlists. It gives me a sense of well-being knowing that there are friends out there that are ready and willing to participate in this on-going salute to our fellow editors. As I creep toward my 80th birthday, I need all the help I can get. Keep shaking the trees. There are thousands of editors that deserve a simple pat on the back.

Discussion about recognitions
[edit]Regarding the role of the various pages:
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Nominations is for new nominations to be made
- Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Nominations is for discussion of nominations
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Accepted nominations is the staging area for the recognition to be presented to the recipient
A paragraph summarizing the good work that is being recognized has been the format for the recognition text since this initiative started. If we need to discuss the format in general terms, a thread can be started on this page. If there needs to be discussion specific to the recipient, then a thread at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Nominations can be created. isaacl (talk) 14:50, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
About #552
[edit]
@Buster7: Continuing our discussion here to respect Isaacl's recommendation above. While the accepted nominations page is not technically a talk page due to not being in a talk namespace and not (generally) hosting discussions, it is still quoting comments made on a discussion page and has editors' signatures at the end of them. Even disregarding the applicability of the talk page guideline, I am personally not comfortable with my comments being edited to say something that was not my intent. From a procedural standpoint, my comment can be considered a seconding of the nomination. Of course, the points I brought up can be included in the Hall of Fame blurb presented with the award, as seems traditional for the Eddy. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 16:05, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
- Seconding of nominations is done before the nominations are accepted. I'm not strongly opinionated on whether or not there should be a discussion thread on the accepted nomination page to gather up points to add to the recognition text. I think it's probably easier for those interested in adding points or revising points that they feel are inaccurate to just directly edit the recognition text as they feel appropriate. But if any interested editors want to have a discussion, I suggest it be held on the nominations talk page. isaacl (talk) 00:36, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- TechnoSquirrel69 Why don't you just start over and say whatever you want to say. It has always been my practice to incorporate what was mentioned in the seconding stage into the original nomination. Not knowing how I changed your intent, I will just stay out of the way. If nothing changes by the time I get to #552, I will just bypass it. Buster Seven Talk (UTC) 05:12, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
