Hanukkah Potato Pancake, 2012[edit]

My ten years on Wikipedia, 2012[edit]

On 23:44, 24 December 2002 registered as IZAK and wrote Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan. First draft: [1] with several Wikipedia beginner's errors evident. (My first 500 contributions / edits: [2]).
I am happy and proud of my decade of service not just to Wikipedia, but to the expansion and growth of knowledge globally that it facilitates. Thank you to my fellow editors and to the wider Wikipedia community for making my writing and editing of articles, categories and many other WP features so enjoyable and fulfilling! Sincerely, IZAK (talk) 10:07, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

  • Mazel tov! WikiProject Judaism would not be the same without you. I appreciate your spokesmanship for authentic Judaism on all those AFD discussion pages, your willingness to go the extra mile and dig up sources to improve pages and categories, and your kind encouragement of other editors. I just came across the new Wikipedia t-shirt recognition program, and nominated you in honor of your 10th anniversary. (The honor is long overdue!)
A Tshirt!
I thought that you deserved something a bit extra for all of the amazing work you've done for the project.
I've nominated you for a gift from the Wikimedia Foundation!

  • User:IZAK, you are a shining example of what we all should be like, here on Wikipedia. Yeshar koach!! It's good to know that there are a few good and decent souls in this world. May G-d keep you and bless you.Davidbena (talk) 06:03, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
  • That's amazing - so many years, wow! You are one of the most respected authors on Judaism and a very decent and wise person overall. It's great that you're still actively contributing after all those years, as the number of contributors has been going down, as we all know - and that sadly includes myself; I was especially active around 2005-2008 but am much less active in recent years. However, I do intend to be around a bit more. Looking forward to seeing you on Wikipedia many more years! --Piz d'Es-Cha (talk) 08:41, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

    • @Kendrick7: Thank you, and it is never too late to come to this "party"! Please come more often to my talk page and I do respond. Everyone needs a WP:Wikivacation sometimes and I took mine to take care of lots of real-life things that needed my intense attention, but I am making up for lost time at this time and I hope to check in more often as well. Thanks for caring and be well! Sincerely, IZAK (talk) 20:41, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
