Wishing you well
[edit]I was looking through WP:GAN and I was saddened when I saw you flagged as inactive. Your name is one of the ones I enjoy seeing around, especially since you gave me what was essentially my first complete GAN review at Talk:Jane Pierce/GA1. I hope you're doing all right and that we'll see you around again at some point! Thebiguglyalien (talk) 20:44, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hey @Thebiguglyalien, thanks so much for getting in touch! I am doing well thanks, and glad to see you are continuing your great work. I’m always impressed by the quality of your articles - I’m not sure I remembered the fact that I did your first GAN review!
- I’ve been working on other things and have been quite busy so haven’t been editing/researching Wikipedia stuff as much lately. I’m sure I’ll return at some point. I guess I won’t be flagged as “inactive” anymore!
- Many thanks again! Unexpectedlydian♯4talk‽ 12:18, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
