Get back to work

That's a damn shame. You were one of the non-morons. Intelligent, rational and humane, actually. We need quality people here. If it's the awful treatment dished out at the RfA that's driven you off, I can understand that. RfA is awful. Anyway, thanks for all you've done here. I hope you are well and that you find the time and interest to get involved again one day.

Lang said to me one day, "Mr Keating, you'll never be anyone until you have a reasonable stock of enemies." Having enemies worries some people. For me it's a badge of honour. I don't care about it. It's never worried me that a group of people would have not a bar of me.

GAN December 2013 Backlog Drive

Hello! A GAN Backlog Drive will begin in less than 4 days!

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.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or leave a message on the Backlog Drive talk page. And remember, there are less than 4 days before the drive starts!--EdwardsBot (talk) 03:21, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
