And the award for for the first negative comment on this thread that is designed to be "about things going right" goes to Trilliam. Congratulations on being the official "party pooper" of Wikimedia-l. There will be cake tomorrow.
To return to nice things, and in response to the previous message by A ntanana: I learned a few months ago that in the Ukrainian Wikipedia they don't give out "barnstars", the give out "cans of condensed milk"! Why? Because they're sweet :-) https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92%D1%96%D0%BA%D1%96%D0%BF%D0%B5%D0%B4%D1%...
And, please correct me if I'm wrong Antanana, but you also identify the "best newbie" each month on the Ukrainian Wikipedia and physically send a can of condensed milk to that person in the mail?! I think that's just the coolest, funnest, most unique way of celebrating new contributors I've heard of!
