Just a quick note, I believe you meant to refer me to

LOL you are absolutely right, I always get those two mixed up and definitely meant to link the MOS page. Thank you for looking into that and understanding where I was coming from! Sock (tock talk) 19:32, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Sock!

• The
  New Pages Patrol
  is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
• We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
• Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
• Kindly read
  project talk page
  with questions.
• If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider
  applying here
  .

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

As always, I appreciate your edits and you're a helpful colleague, but did you make some kind of mistake or have a weird issue happen here? What is this "Ahhhh My Name Is Jeff" stuff? I removed it as I'm assuming that it's a bizarre copy/paste error or (God forbid) a medical issue--you're not a vandal, so I wanted to reach out. Also, please note that I have a 0-RR restriction, so any time I remove anything, I try to do outreach to ensure that this is proper and I'm not trying to engage in edit-warring. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:25, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Koavf: Well, that's certainly one of my more embarrassing gaffes. I'd made a mock track listing template with junk data to refresh my memory on the "all writing/lyrics/music" verbiage and I could have sworn I deleted it right after. Maybe I hit "undo" a few too many times? Really not sure how I managed to make that mistake, but thank you very much for catching it and reaching out. I haven't completely lost my mind, don't worry!

Happy First Edit Day! Hi Sock! On behalf of the Birthday Committee, I'd like to wish you a very happy anniversary of the day you made your first edit and became a Wikipedian! The Herald (Benison) (talk) 02:12, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Sock,

I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join the Fifteen Year Society, an informal group for editors who've been participating in the Wikipedia project for fifteen years or more. ​

Best regards, Chris Troutman (talk) 19:20, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much Chris! I'd be happy to join, if only to remind myself that I've somehow been here and active for 15 years. Sock (tock talk) 20:59, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
