The World Destubathon

Hello Augnablik. From June 16 to July 13, a contest called The World Destubathon will be running that invites all editors to eliminate stubs and expand coverage on countries all over the world. Considering that over half of the 7 million articles on Wikipedia are stubs, it'll be a lot of help (and hopefully, fun). Also, $3388 in prizes are being given out with the user in first place getting $500, so this might be something that's worth looking into :) Tarlby ^{(t) (c)} 18:21, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Heh ... now that I've read your message I can see I've been pronouncing that name all wrong ever since I saw the title but hadn't yet read your message. I was pronouncing it deh-STOO-bah-THAWN and wondering what on earth it meant! Augnablik (talk) 16:38, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

May 2025 GOCE drive awards

		The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
		This barnstar is awarded to Augnablik for copy edits totaling over 20,000 words (including bonus and rollover words) during the GOCE May 2025 Backlog Elimination Drive. Congratulations, and thank you for your contributions! Dhtwiki (talk) 03:12, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Good heavens, I never expected a Tireless barnstar, but the one just before that. And certainly not any others.

Thank you for the awards, but more so also for helpful guidance en route.
