I now see that you've been here for years, inconspicuously making sensible changes. A belated welcome! -- Hoary (talk) 00:08, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

The Special Barnstar

There's not many people than can spot a blatant typo of mine putting de facto vandalism in an article which got past a GA review by Eric Corbett, but you've done it. Well done. (Given the timestamp of the edit, I was obviously tired and not thinking straight - I've since learned to stop editing altogether if I'm feeling like I want to nod off...)

When did the "Colera outbreak" heading get vandalised Ritchie333? Or did I miss that as well? Eric Corbett 16:18, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That was done on 3 July 2017 and fixed 7 days later. It does raise a serious point, all those "counter anti-vandalism patrol" editors can't spot blatant errors like these (admittedly the writers shouldn't make them in the first instance but we're human I guess).
