A barnstar for you!

	The Editor's Barnstar
	Congratulations on your tenth edit on english Wikipedia in 2 years. Keep up the good work! Theo10011 (talk) 19:04, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, Theo, I hope you didn't mean that how I read it, because it sounded kind of snarky. And if you did mean it that way, please note contribs for Barry's other username, User:BazaNews. I think that demonstrates that he's been more active than you make it sound. Philippe Beaudette, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 05:30, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, what else would it mean besides what is written? I was promoting Wikilove. I was actually only going to leave a comment for sinebot, the one below. I just happened to glance at the edits, and found it quiet surprising. Barry, being the head of an entire department at WMF, 20 or more WMF employees, operations in 3 target areas and numerous ongoing project would have only 9 things to say in two years to the largest community. I was only referring to the work account, just quiet surprised to see how little interaction there was - that's all. I thought it might be relevant to the IEP and the post-mortem discussion where I first saw this.

Incidentally, User:Zackexley and User:Bnewstead are tied for the same number of edits, joining WMF at roughly the same time and running the two largest departments.

Aside from that, I really don't see the point when staff create volunteer accounts, after their work account, only to not use them, but that is another rant for another time, not directly relevant here. Anyway, I'm sorry I missed user:BazaNews 150 edit on the volunteer account yesterday, I hope my Wikilove was responsible. Theo10011 (talk) 23:54, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
