Thank you for stopping by - I’d love to hear from you!

Thank You Wikipedians for all your hard work![edit]

You’re here! Reading this? Hmmmm... I can’t tell if you’re reading this unless you leave me a little note, so please do! And can you help spread some wikiLove?

PLEASE SHARE AND REMIX THIS WIKILOVE!


It’s a maze of twisty passages all around here. Sometimes, it’s hard to feel appreciated, and you deserve some love! This Heart-shaped Labyrinth is to say Thank YOU for all your hard work. I appreciate you being here - I really do - and so do these peeps!
You can also share some wikiKind wikiLove by adding ((subst:Heart Labyrinth)) to any talk page with your own message.

Copyright, attribution, and editing with a conflict of interest[edit]

Hi DrMel - I recently removed some content from a userpage at (ZimsHeroes), which looked like it was identical to the material you recently added to Talk:Stanford prison experiment. Please can you let me know what is the connection between your account and ZimsHeroes?

I also wanted to give you a couple of links to some important policies and guidelines:

I hope that this is helpful, let me know if you have any questions. Best GirthSummit (blether) 17:35, 6 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

LA to FA 2022[edit]

LA to FA 2022

Dear DrMel,

You're invited to a zoom call, taking place on February 11, with the goal of improving the article on Los Angeles to Featured article status! I often find it daunting to approach the Big Subjects on my own—so if you, like me, want a time to sit down with fellow dedicated editors and tackle something important and complex, this is the zoom for you! I, unfortunately, have no way to transmit snacks over zoom; but I trust you to exercise good judgement and discretion in selecting snacks of your own. Hope to see you there—if you're interested, add your name here!
