| Jeff, thanks for your help in editing that Bell 533 sandbox article! Citation: For finding all my silly mistakes when I've been editing while tired and long after I should've been writing anything, as well as for your general willingness to help other editors to solve problems and improve articles. You are a credit to what it means to assume good faith and an example of what an editor should be on Wikipedia. (i.e. not me) --Born2flie (talk) 19:22, 21 November 2007 (UTC) |
