Hello,
:Hello Thewsbguy
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this ''''''.
:If the award is recognised by the organisation itself and or by other organisations, then it would suffice. ] (]) 08:53, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its ] and view its ] .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,
]

== Question from ] (12:47, 1 November 2024) ==
Hello, Snowmanonahoe/ Isochrone, I recently edited an article that overused the adjective "generously" to describe a scientist regarding his philanthropic deeds. I changed where I could preface "contributed" and other such notations to not take away too much from the fact. The question is do you come across this type of "bragging" when it comes to what seems to be emotionally invested writers? (It is not to say it is bad to say something good about someone, but I would feel as though I was bragging if someone had bragged about my donations, which is too a highly personal matter and nullifies the point of donations.) --] (]) 12:47, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
:Hello @] and welcome to Misplaced Pages. You are indeed correct to remove what we term as "]" wording. All Misplaced Pages articles must be written from a ] (one of our ]) and remain impartial to the subject.
:From a quick scan of some of the articles you have edited, I believe (through no fault of your own) that there is still a significant amount of such puffery. You would be correct to remove them and the pages I have linked should provide guidance in doing so.
:I am unsure as to your later question; you may be asking about editors with a ], perhaps? Please feel free to expand on your question. – ] (]) 14:04, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
