Feel free to stop by and chat! But be nice, or I'll ask you to go sit at another bench in some other park in some other city

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, peoples rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension

The Principle of Least Drama says that given a choice between several ways of dealing with a problem, pick the one that generates the least drama. If the only approach you can think of is laden with drama, sign off for the night. You may think of a new alternative in the morning, or someone else may have implemented a better approach.

Best wishes!

Hi Buster7, thanks so much for the lovely card. And thanks so much as well for all the work you put into the Eddys. Really appreciated. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 05:10, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

Happy Holidays!

Just dropping off some metaphorical cookies to thank you for the post on my talk page. GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 03:08, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

Thank You

I have never heard of Editor of the Week, but I thank you for nominating me. I'm a little confused by why I am referred to as They and Their instead of She and Her, and why you stated I'm a full-time Wikipedia worker, when my volunteering is just something I work at a few hours a week, but I am honored that you appreciate the work I do to try and provide reliable information on subjects that interest me.

Hello Karen. So sorry for that. I will make the changes ASAP. Buster Seven Talk (UTC) 15:05, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

Nomination : Wiki Pedant

Hi Buster7, I finally got around to the nomination for Wiki Pedant; just added it.

If i can suggest a possible image, how about this one:

Reflects the fact that they're often dabbling in old images, from old cameras! I like the golden-brown bellows.

Thanks again for all the work you do on this very worthwhile Wik-Project!

Here’s the Tupper image that sparked the Wolverine discussion. Nicely cropped by WikiPedant.

Editor of the Week

Hi Buster7, thank you for all your work you do with maintaining Editor of the Week - I wanted to check how many times I can nominate in a space of time (I have one or two more I'd like to do, but I should let other people nominate their editors as well ofc :) ) RossEvans19 (talk) 02:33, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment. It's kind of implemented on a first-come first-served basis. My basic consideration is that each nomination adds a week to the time-frame between nomination and awarding. Currently, there are four nominations in the Accepted Queue and your recent nomination will be moved over later today making it five weeks from now that the editor will receive it. It is kind of you to consider other nominators but now may be a good time to add one more. There are times when I personally find new recipients as needed to keep the queue full which I estimate to be about five or six. But having a community of people seeking out recipients is what makes the whole initiative worthwhile. If the Queue gets too long, I put a HOLD on the Nomination Page.
