Triple Crown

Hi SMasters. I just wanted to leave a note here thanking you for the triple crown. I followed the link to your userpage, and your contributions to the encyclopedia in general are staggering! The Triple Crown award tagline thanks the recipients for their hard work, but he who awards it is the most deserving! Thanks again for the award and for all your contributions.-RHM22 (talk) 02:29, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Hey RHM22, thanks so much for your note, it has really made my day! Managing the Triple Crown program is fairly much a thankless job, so it's really nice when someone takes the time to say thanks. And congrats again for the TC, and I look forward to giving you an upgrade soon! Cheers. – SMasters (talk) 02:43, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar! It's the first one I've ever received.-RHM22 (talk) 14:14, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

I noticed, and it is well deserved. Well done! – SMasters (talk) 22:24, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Barnstar Barnstar

		The Barnstar Barnstar
		I award this Barnstar Barnstar to SMasters for awarding me my first Barnstar and for innumerable contributions to the Wikipedia. Though it may be tempting to award me a Barnstar Barnstar Barnstar for this Barnstar Barnstar, we don't want to get stuck in a loop!-RHM22 (talk) 22:19, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! I really wanted to give you a numismatic barnstar, but I couldn't find one. Do keep up the good work, and thanks for this barnstar. – SMasters (talk) 04:09, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Not a teacher

Hi SMasters!

Thanks for your interest in the Wikiproject Mathematics.

Please identify me as a "statistician" (or "mathematical scientist" or "mathematical statistician" or "researcher") rather than as a "teacher"---my position focuses almost entirely on research.

I hope that your article encourages some readers to join the Wikiproject. (Again, I am a new and very junior contributor to the project, and the others deserve the spotlight.)

Best regards,  Kiefer.Wolfowitz  (Discussion) 19:20, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

OK, I will change it. I think I must have got this from a mention of "students" somewhere. I'm working on the article right now and will post the completed piece back in the interview room soon. You are free to make any corrections there once this has been done. Thanks again for participating. Cheers. – SMasters (talk) 01:19, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick and reassuring response!  Kiefer.Wolfowitz  (Discussion) 14:49, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

No problems, it should be ready later this week. Just polishing it up now. – SMasters (talk) 15:35, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Revisonuser

The magic word REVISIONUSER actually displays the name of the account that saved that revision - hence your talkpage is greeting me as "EdwardsBot". Regards, Rich Farmbrough, 07:08, 15 February 2011 (UTC).

Thanks, I copied it from somewhere, and I can't find the right template for it. If you know what it should be, do let me know. Cheers. – SMasters (talk) 07:36, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

It only works on editnotices... . --Perseus8235 17:06, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Oh, I see... That's why it wasn't working, thanks for letting me know. – SMasters (talk) 17:29, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
