User:Steelpillow/Awards

For some reason these user Awards pages are regarded as a Good Thing. Other than remembering my colleagues for their kindness, I cannot for the life of me think why.

Thanks for drawing and additions at Wing configuration
Dear Steelpillow, So at last I discover who is doing all those drawings on that page. THANKS for the good work. Jack Jackehammond (talk) 20:14, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Reversion thanks
Hey, thanks. Maybe it's time for me to go to bed, making these typos.

Thank you!
Hello, Steelpillow, and thank you for chiming in at Lift-to-drag ratio. Your input at the talk page has been very helpful, and your current reorganization of the page even more so. Thanks and I hope you will keep this page on your watchlist in the future. -- MelanieN (talk) 19:22, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I came here to say the same thing as MelanieN. You've handled a difficult situation with tact, but also firmness when needed. Your last summary at ANI is spot-on. I've been an IP-editor trying to make a change that I know is correct, and hitting a blank wall of polite refusal to take any notice (expressed in the form of repeated reversions), and it's certainly very hard not to get aggressive and emotional. There is no question that the IP editor responded wrongly, but had they not done the work they did (and stuck at it in the face of adversity), we would still have a misleading article. I very much appreciate your putting their words into context. Kindness and politeness are good and important; but if wikipedia becomes the politest but wrongest encyclopaedia, it won't be terribly useful. I sincerely hope everyone else in that debate will follow your example, drop the hostilities, and chalk this up to experience. I don't know the right barn-star template, but I'd give you one if I knew how! Elemimele (talk) 20:30, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
