Confusion

edit

Lettting you know I removed the GA box from the Confusion album page because you seemingly passed it yourself(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Confusion_(album)/GA1), leave me a message if I'm incorrect, thanks. --108.211.193.185 (talk) 16:37, 15 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Million Award

edit
The Million Award
For your contributions to bring One Direction (estimated annual readership: 7,342,000) to Good Article status, I hereby present you the Million Award. Congratulations on this rare accomplishment, and thanks for all you do for Wikipedia's readers. -- Khazar2 (talk) 03:09, 28 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

The Million Award is a new initiative to recognize the editors of Wikipedia's most-read content; you can read more about the award and its possible tiers (Quarter Million Award, Half Million Award, and Million Award) at Wikipedia:Million Award. You're also welcome to display this userbox:

This editor won the Million Award for bringing One Direction to Good Article status.

If I've made any error in this listing, please don't hesitate to correct it; if for any reason you don't feel you deserve it, please don't hesitate to remove it; if you know of any other editor who merits one of these awards, please don't hesitate to give it; if you yourself deserve another award from any of the three tiers, please don't hesitate to take it!

Sorry to see you're semi-retired, btw, but thanks on behalf of the millions of readers who have benefited, and will continue to benefit, from your work. -- Khazar2 (talk) 03:09, 28 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thanks!! When I heard (back in December 2012) that the article received 24 million hits in 2012, my hands started shaking! I'm still flabbergasted.. Khazar2, this is very thoughtful of you and I greatly appreciate it! Robin (talk) 13:39, 30 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
It's amazing, isn't it? How many other volunteer opportunities give you the chance to serve literally millions of people? Anyway, thank you again for the article, and congrats on this huge achievement. -- Khazar2 (talk) 13:48, 30 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
.. Btw, I'm reviewing your Auschwitz concentration camp GAN. Since it's such an interesting topic, I'll probably finish the review today. Robin (talk) 13:58, 30 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

A strange one

edit

Hey Robin, how are you? I see you're no longer too active on Wikipedia, but I hope you might be able to look in at User talk:Quadell#mirror images. A very odd situation, regarding a new Harrison biography, which … well, it basically rips off Wikipedia's Harrison album and song articles. Strange but true.

What I'm hoping is, you might want to follow the link from Quadell's page and hit "helpful" on my Amazon review for the book – which I've signed as "HariG". In the interests of drawing attention to this issue of an author quite obviously taking his material from Wikipedia – which, the more I think about it, is pretty serious and far-reaching – I'd simply like to ensure that the review is helpful/popular enough to register in the listing's main space. Many thanks. Best, JG66 (talk) 19:59, 9 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hey JG66, I've done so. Good luck! Robin (talk) 18:33, 10 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

I hope to hear from you again some day. Cheers! Thanks for being such a great content creator! Yash! 19:44, 23 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the kind words, Yash! I appreciate it :) I will continue to make edits sporadically.. life has just become too busy to promise more than that. All the best, Robin

Just noticed your reply. Glad to see you around even if it is sporadically. You will always be one of the better editors I have known! :) Yash! 06:23, 22 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

WP:Missing Wikipedians

Hello Robin. I noticed you have worked on lots of One Direction articles, and have been semi-retired since August 2013. Because you've made only sporadic edits following your semi-retirement, I've added your name to the above linked page. Remember to remove yourself from the list if you return.
