Triple Crown

Generalissima, for your continued contributions to Wikipedia I am happy to present you the Imperial Triple Crown Jewels. Thank you for your hard work. Damien Linnane (talk) 01:34, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Just in case you were wondering, you were nominated for the award by Cowboygilbert.

I'm intrigued by your user page and am surprised we haven't crossed paths yet. I'm responsible for the creation of Crown (Australian coin) and the obsolete New Zealand bank notes. On a somewhat more interesting note, I've also been held in solitary as well. I'm sure we'd have a few things to talk about. Feel free to reach out/email me if you'd like to chat, though no pressure. Have a great day. Damien Linnane (talk) 01:34, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you Generalissima for your ongoing efforts to improve Wikipedia. You have well and truly earned the Imperial Napoleonic Triple Crown. Damien Linnane (talk) 00:35, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for an interesting article! - Today's story is about a tune used by Bach and Mozart. - (forgot to sign)

Today is "the day" for James Joyce, also for Bach's fourth chorale cantata (and why does it come before the third?) - the new pics have a mammal I had to look up --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:12, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

New pics of food and flowers come with the story of Noye's Fludde (premiered on 18 June), written by Brian Boulton. I nominated Éric Tappy because he died, and it needs support today!
