Suggestion

Thanks for the DYK review for CANDLE syndrome. I was checking out your userpage and saw you have so many DYK credits, but you aren't listing them anywhere. Just as a suggestion, it would help to keep track of them if you did. I don't know if you care about that sort of thing, but if you do, you can list them in an unobtrusive way on your userpage just with symbols if you like, if you don't want to have a zipped list of the credits directly. Symbols like this: Aslaug Haviland, clickable to specific articles and everything. You can also use the DYK counter userbox. Or both! I actually have all three used on my page (symbols, zipped list, userbox) if you'd like to see how they look.

Anyways, just a suggestion, you don't have to care at all. :P Keep up the awesome work! SilverserenC 19:23, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
