Food for thought...from :53 on.

This editor has joined the opposition to the targeting of editors by the politically-correct and ideology-driven so that we can keep this the encyclopedia anyone can edit, not just the one that only those who haven't yet done something unacceptable to the easily-offended can edit. Don't let the octopus of the easily-offended bring down the entire project!

Precious again

support
Thank you for fighting silent battles in creating content, reviewing, defeating vandalism and supporting civility, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

--Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:35, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Three years ago, you were the 107th recipient of my Pumpkin Sky Prize, and I bet you will enjoy this also:

Thank you for reflecting the Gerechtigkeitsspirale!

Did you know ... that a church's 1510 spiral of justice declares: "Justice suffered in great need. Truth is slain dead. Faith has lost the battle"?

The poem ends with "Praise the right thing".

--Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:00, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Gerda! Always appreciated. Intothat darkness 14:11, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In a later discussion, Iridescent suggested to use "decency" or "integrity" instead of "the right thing", - whatever it's called, let's just do it ;) - Remember ... --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:23, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WER Nomination

You deserve the thanks for what you do around here. So....you won't be surprised in a few weeks when the award is delivered. But, let me ask, so I know for future EotW nominees, how did you find out? Do I need to cover my trail better? Did you see me talking to Gerda? I try my best to keep it a secret 'cause that's part of the joy of giving the award to editors like yourself. I should add "Good at Detective Work" to your nomination. TRA! . Buster Seven Talk 18:10, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It pinged me when you did the nomination. Must have come from the linking part. Intothat darkness 18:49, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

See [1] its a great and simple description of the award. Some people think it should be "vetted" like it was an "Oscar". I like to say, Its a glorified barnstar from at least two editors awarded by a third. I'm working on an Eddybox...thats how I found that old quote. . Buster Seven Talk 14:33, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've always agreed that it was more of a recognition thing as opposed to something that should be "vetted" in an overly-dramatic way. There's enough of that on wikipedia as it is. Intothat darkness 16:14, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Editor of the Week

		Editor of the Week
		Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week for your steady work to benefit Wikipedia. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)

User:Buster7 submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week: I would like to nominate User:Intothatdarkness as Editor of the Week.

He uses the edit summary 96% of the time and 37% of his edits are to article space. He plugs away at editing Old West stuff and has been called a "a steady common-sense contributor". A well-known and respected Administrator said of him, "We could use 100 more like him.....". WP:Military History, Ancient Pueblo People and Indigenous people of North America are just a few of his interests.
