Invitation to join the Twenty Year Society
Dear ,

I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join the Twenty Year Society, an informal group for editors who've been participating in the Wikipedia project for twenty years or more. &#x200B;

Best regards, Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 15:52, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

Klein bottle
Reminder to future self: I ran into an editor who "owns" the Klein bottle article and never got to run this, so ...

Source for 4 hours for Monadnock
We can't just estimate how long most hikers would take to hike the "shorter trails" - we need a reliable source stating it takes most people 4 hours to hike. I can do it in less than 3, however I know plenty of people who would need more than 5. Saying "about 4 hours" is not precise to actual reality. Happy to reinclude it if sourced, otherwise changing language to "within half a day". LegalSmeagolian (talk) 20:35, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

My edits at Dihydrogen monoxide parody
When someone replaced 'hydric' with 'hydroxic', I added 'hydric acid' back in without checking whether there was a citation for 'hydroxic'. You were right, there is no citation in the article to support 'hydroxic acid' being used in a parody. I restored the text from before this started without intending on making it look like I was reverting you. Donald Albury 21:40, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
