Precious
Cheshire
Thank you, researching, composing, gardening user, for quality articles on the Portal:Cheshire that you created and maintain, such as Ancient parishes of Cheshire, and for using your professional command of language to speak up for making a difference between a personal attack and an expression of "go away and do not bother me again", and for how even banned users can contribute to the encyclopedia, if permitted, - repeating: you are an awesome Wikipedian (22 February 2009, 17 May 2010)!

GAN December 2013 Backlog Drive
 In past Backlog Drives, the goal was to reduce the backlog of Good article nominations. In the upcoming drive, another goal will be added - raising as much money as we can for the Wikimedia Foundation. How will this work? Well, its pretty simple. Any user interested in donating can submit a pledge at the Backlog Drive page (linked above). The pledge should mention the amount of money the user is willing to donate per review. For example, if a user pledges 5 cents per review and 100 nominations are reviewed, the total donation amount is $5.00. At the time this message was sent out, two users have submitted pledges for a total of 8 cents per review. All pledges, no matter how much money, are greatly appreciated. Also, in no way is this saying you must make a pledge. |
