Wikipedia talk:Great editing in progress

Pete's thanks is welcome, but it's perhaps worth noting that I only saw it just now, and I might have missed it entirely. I don't know if that's a bug or a feature! :) Martin 00:17, 30 Apr 2004 (UTC)


 * I announced this new page on the pump but it may easily have got lost amongst the longer discussions. It is also now on the various index pages for the Wikipedia namespace so hopefully it will enter the collective conciousness of the community if people think it is useful.


 * On the wider point, if you spot someone doing good things I think the best place to thank them is their talk page or an appropiate article talk page. I do this myself, although probably not as often as I should. However I thought beyond that there was scope for thanking someone more publically. We'll see if it's got any legs!

 * I like this page. I had once considered making a similar page, especially with the idea of recognizing significant contributions by people who aren't all that publicly visible.  User:Academic Challenger, for example, has done a very large amount of work without most people knowing who he is, because he rarely participates in discussions and doesn't do anything that anyone objects to.

 * Has it been announced on Goings-on? That'd be another good place to mention it.  fabiform | talk 22:38, 1 May 2004 (UTC)
 * It should be. I did consider proposing some means of "promoting" a given editor ("editor of the week") from here to there, but I fear it will degenerate into yet another backbiting voting page, and thus turn off its victim rather than laud them. -- Finlay McWalter |  Talk 22:41, 1 May 2004 (UTC)
 * And wouldn't that just be totally embarassing? I was flattered to be placed on this page (and will put other people here in due course), but I'd be uncomfortable receiving or nominating people for something like editor of the week.  It might also turn into a popularity contest.  fabiform | talk 22:48, 1 May 2004 (UTC)
