Thank you for adding the 2021 IHOF Inductees
Thank you for adding the 2021 inductees to the Internet Hall of Fame article. Earlier this month I had noticed they were not listed and was preparing to open up a "COI edit request" on the Talk page (as I have COI). And then today I looked at the page and was pleased to see you had recently added them. Thank you! - Dyork (talk) 20:45, 25 April 2022 (UTC)


 * It is always nice to hear when a contribution is appreciated. Thanks! However, since you have a COI on IHOF, I believe I'm the one that should be thanking you. I am very happy to learn about the lives and work of the people in that article. That is something I believe I would have been a lot less likely to do had it not been for the work of the Internet Society. If my edit helps just one more person learn about the beautiful minds of people like Aaron Swartz, and the many others that have let their moral principles and visions dictate their actions, it will have been well worth my time. Thank you! FreeToDisagree (talk) 23:28, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Unknown parameters removal
First, I wanted to thank you for helping out on this monumental task maintaining. I've noticed the list starting off in a different place than I had left it every once in a while, so I was glad to be able to spot your work at Mary Alcorn. I would be more than happy to share my extensive regex collection that I've been using in AWB to get this task pretty well automated if you have any access to semi-automatic editing tools.

 * It's my pleasure to be of service. It is good that we share a common goal, and you are kind to make such an offer. However, I only know regex from coding, and wouldn't know what to do with them on Wikipedia. I don't know what AWB is, and the only thing I've done other than fully manual editing is a bookmarklet I wrote a long time ago. I haven't used it in forever though. Thank you.
