Retired
[edit]Hello, Wikipedians. I'm still (mostly) retired. If you're a regular user, please watch the articles I've written to protect them. Go find a bad article and make it a good one. Best of luck to you all. Moni3 (talk) 19:52, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
- But from the look at your contributions, it looks like you're back! Mahalia Jackson, all right! That makes me so happy. Keep it up, pal, and know that I always have your back when it comes to your outstanding work here. Let me know if you need assistance. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 05:39, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you, Christine. I'm sorry to disappoint though. I don't have anything on the horizon to write about. I just had a little time and it's about to run out so I don't know when I'll be able to write another article. Thank you for watching Mahalia Jackson and any of the other articles I've written. Enjoy. Moni3 (talk) 13:26, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you today for The Body (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), introduced:
- "Any sneerer of Buffy in particular or genre work should simply be sat down in front of a television and told to shut up for three-quarters of an hour while they are shown "The Body"; their awestruck silence afterwards may be taken as recantation or apology." —Ian Shuttleworth, 2004

We thank you, and Eric and all who helped, today for Donner Party, introduced (in 2010): "A harrowing tale of bravery, hardship, and cannibalism in the old Wild West. It was hard to read about and hard to write; I hope the consensus here is that the effort was worthwhile. - It was sometimes miserable to feel the suffering of these people and I realize I have no sense of humor about their trials. What they went through was absolutely brutal. But I hope the article explains it well. I hope once you get started reading it, it will be impossible to stop. This isn't a train wreck that you cannot look away from. This disaster left train wreck far behind in the dust 38 miles back. Thanks for reading and let us know what we can do to improve it." - Thank you for still being interested! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:30, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you today for the article, introduced (in 2008): "Someone remind me not to work on a book that has been read by nearly everyone in the English-speaking world ever again. But here I present one of the best-selling books of the 20th century, and love it or loathe it, its impact is duly noted in the article. I recognize its length at 71k, but I have been sensitive in what needs to be deleted and kept. Occasionally an article deserves that much space, and this is one of them. The novel has a lore that surrounds its creation, adaptation, and influence on culture. There is a previous nomination, linked above, numerous peer reviews: another one, and another, and one more, from WP:Novels and general Peer Review, and (here's my Oscar speech) it has recently had input by Awadewit, WillowW, JayHenry, citation cleanup by Maralia, and dual copy edits by LOCE members Scartol and Galena11. Thank you in advance for reading the article. I intend to do everything I'm capable of to get it featured. Self-nominator, major contributor." - we miss you, and many of those you thanked, and that spirit. - The latest article I wrote with love was Sequenza XIV. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:57, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
