A big thank you from me, womeninred, DYK and Wikipedia. Victuallers (talk) 16:49, 31 March 2016 (UTC) |

The Half Barnstar | |
Awarded with gratitude to Yoninah for going above and beyond the call in reviewing and improving my ham-fisted triple-DYK of 2010–2017 Toronto serial homicides, Death of Alloura Wells, and Murder of Tess Richey – particularly with the latter two articles which I'd created in a rush when my initial hook proved too gruesome. Also for providing invaluable experience with the DYK process which I hope to use in future reviewing. The other half of this barnstar has been awarded to Gog the Mild because: teamwork!

Yoninah...I just realized what you were trying to tell me years ago while going through my talk page archive. (User talk:Psiĥedelisto/Archive1 § Template:Did you know nominations/Figure humaine)
(The smileys aren't allowed because they're icons, and make it harder to see {{tick}}, {{cross}}, not for any other reason.) How you did not lose your cool with me, I will never know. The fact that you continued to WP:AGF and understood I was just a confused noob and not refusing to get the point is commendable. Your handling of my other mistakes at DYK has been just as good. You deserve this barnstar ten times, alas, I can only give one. *refrains from putting a smiley* Psiĥedelisto (talk • contribs) please always ping! 02:12, 21 June 2020 (UTC) |
