:::I know that. I just don't think of myself as an editor who would get thanked a lot. I ''do'' have one question: is there any way to look now and see what edit an editor thanked me for? I don't see any way to do that on the thank log. I'm just curious.--] (]) 01:32, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
::::It's not in the thank log; it's only in the "in-tray" or "TV set" icon at the top (to the right of the bell icon).

So for myself, the list shows 25 events in the last 6 days of which 13 are mentions and 12 are where somebody else thanked me. If I click on one of those 12, I can see which edit (or loggable action, such as a block, delete or protection) that I was being thanked for, but once they are pushed out of the 25 by more recent events, the information is no longer retrievable. So checking out 1150 thanks is a long way from being possible. --] &#x1F98C; (]) 02:31, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

== Administrators' newsletter – January 2025 ==
Not sure if this would be prefer to have a new SPI page created or not, but I've stumbled across the account '' which (at least to me) appears to be similarly-named to the blocked account ''. Along with that, both have a similar, "I am ______ and joined Misplaced Pages on _______" opening intro, Harold's on the userpage and Jake's on their talk page. It also that Harold attempted editing Untamed1910's talk page, which Jake has previously edited.


] from the past month (December 2024).
I also decided to report it here rather than make an SPI page as I see Jake's block is for sockpuppetry, but from what I'm seeing, it's not to avoid a block on another account (unless I'm missing something). Thanks. ] (]) 10:22, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

::If you haven't already, you should look at that tortured conversation I had with Jake on his Talk page.

However, if you're interested in finding more, you could file an SPI and request a CU. It's highly unlikely I'll find them on my own because I don't pay any attention to the articles they edit. Feel free to come here, though, if you see a new one. Thanks! --] (]) 15:06, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar
Happy New Year, Bbb23! In 2024, other editors thanked you 1150 times using the thanks tool on the English Misplaced Pages. This made you the #8 most thanked Wikipedian in 2024. Congratulations and, well, thank you for all that you do for Misplaced Pages. Here's to 2025! Mz7 (talk) 19:32, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
Umm, I had no idea. I have notifications for Thanks turned off globally. I should also add that I'm surprised. I do appreciate your thanks, though, and a Happy New Year to you, too. Be safe tonight.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:43, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
It only stops you from receiving thanks; it doesn't stop people from thanking you. But they won't know that you didn't see the thanks. See thanks log. --Redrose64 🦌 (talk) 01:27, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
I know that. I just don't think of myself as an editor who would get thanked a lot. I do have one question: is there any way to look now and see what edit an editor thanked me for? I don't see any way to do that on the thank log. I'm just curious.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:32, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
It's not in the thank log; it's only in the "in-tray" or "TV set" icon at the top (to the right of the bell icon). But that only shows the 25 most recent events that come within that icon; most will be thanks, but some will be other actions - such as when you WP:MENTION somebody. So for myself, the list shows 25 events in the last 6 days of which 13 are mentions and 12 are where somebody else thanked me. If I click on one of those 12, I can see which edit (or loggable action, such as a block, delete or protection) that I was being thanked for, but once they are pushed out of the 25 by more recent events, the information is no longer retrievable. So checking out 1150 thanks is a long way from being possible. --Redrose64 🦌 (talk) 02:31, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Heh, I wasn't going to check all 1150 entries, god help me, just a few out of curiosity, but it looks to me like even the recent thanks listed in the log don't show up when I click on the TV set icon; maybe that works only if you have thanks notifications turned on.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:38, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Would you mind draftifying or moving the contents of the recently deleted Qubetics article into my userspace? I'm not the original author, but started looking into it a bit when I encountered it on NPP. It doesn't seem to have notability yet, but I'd like to have it on my list to keep an eye on for the future. Thanks. -- Fyrael (talk) 02:53, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
