Thank you for quality articles such as 2022 Bahrain Grand Prix, 2018 United States Grand Prix and Social media in the 2016 United States presidential election, for a diligent and fair ACE, for willingness to do clean-up work, for a spectacular user page, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

You are recipient no. 2964 of Precious, a prize of QAI. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:09, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What a nice surprise! Thank you, Gerda. Giraffer (talk) 12:44, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

New month, new admin: congratulations, no oppose, and so many supporting! - Today is the birthday of Chopin and Ricardo Kanji, see my stories of today and yesterday, with dream music by the first and Bach played by the other. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:56, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today: Carmen turns 150, as the main page and my story tell you. I chose a 1962 concert of the Habanera, - enjoy! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:10, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On Ravel's birthday, we also think of a conductor and five more composers ;)

leeky put this on my talk page during my RFA, and I feel like making another little tradition. In the reverse of my own, we can increase this by 10px every time we need to. You've got this, just keep chugging along :) Kinehore. Sennecaster (Chat) 23:24, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I love giraffes!! Good luck for your adminship!! — Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 12:43, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Giraffer! I have closed your request for adminship as successful. Well done on the unanimous, 200+ support. Congratulations!

As always, the administrators' reading list is worth reading and the new admin help pages are most certainly available if you feel that you might require some practice with the tools in a safe environment prior to applying them elsewhere on the project. Good luck! Acalamari 11:04, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations, Giraffer! I am deeply disappointed in you for killing the Giraffer RfA meme, but I suppose it's for the best. Toadspike [Talk] 11:11, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks (and thank you Acalamari for flipping the bit)! All good things must come to an end, I suppose... :P Giraffer (talk) 11:33, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Eat a mop, use the buttons. Got it. Giraffer (talk) 11:37, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

	A baton, Polish style
	Congratulations on passing RFA; from Voorts to me to you. It's an honor to pass off the baton from the class of '24 to you, the start of the class of '25. Twirl it well, my friend. Sennecaster (Chat) 17:45, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Giraffer. Please check your email; you've got mail!
It may take a few minutes from the time the email is sent for it to show up in your inbox. You can at any time by removing the {{You've got mail}} or {{ygm}} template.

And congratulations on the RfA thing! Polygnotus (talk) 07:28, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Responded — apologies for the delay. Thanks for the congrats :) Giraffer (talk) 11:30, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Do you think that something like I am describing already exists? It seems to me that automation could make the work a lot lighter. And what does your thing do? Feel free to reply via email if that is better. Polygnotus (talk) 12:21, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
