The 200 DYK Creation and Expansion Medal

		The 200 DYK Creation and Expansion Medal
		Celebrations are in order, as you have become one of the few Wikipedians to create or substantially expand two hundred articles appearing in the "Did you know?" section of the Main page. Apart from such wide-ranging contributions as Roman glass, the Milan–Venice railway, and I'm Backing Britain, you have really put the historic buildings of Sussex on the map.

Fancy a trip into foreign parts?

I've created St. Lawrence's Church, Mereworth but the description of the architecture could probably do with improvement. Sources are all online so maybe you'd like to give this a polish? Mjroots (talk) 09:52, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your offer, tomorrow will be fine.

I was wondering why you'd been quiet on Pevsner. Looking forward to further expansion. Maybe we've got a GA in the making? Mjroots (talk) 08:12, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

I've nominated the article for GA. Should it pass, then you should also claim this as a GA as you will have earned it. Mjroots (talk) 10:36, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, ledes are not my strong point. Mjroots (talk) 06:00, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Churches in Horsham district - Partridge Green

Hi, Hassocks5489, I have created a page for St Michael and All Angels Church and have added a link to it on the List of places of worship in Horsham (district) page. At first glance this is an uninspiring church, but is actually worth seeing. Any comments, additions or amendments would be welcome if you have time. Kinnerton (talk) 20:42, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Has just passed its GAR and is now a Good Article. Many thanks, I couldn't have done it without your input. Mjroots (talk) 14:00, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Interview with Wikimedia Foundation

Hello Hassocks, I hope you're well. My name is Aaron and I'm one of the Storytellers working on the 2011 fundraiser for the Wikimedia Foundation. For this year's campaign, we're interviewing as many of the very active and productive Wikipedians as we can to broaden the range of appeals we run come November. I wonder if you would want to tell me more about your experiences editing and writing here? If so, I'll ask you your personal story and I'll ask you some general questions about Wikipedia. Please let me know if you're interesting by emailing amuszalskiwikimedia.org. Thanks! user:Aaron (WMF)
