As part of my third wikiBirthday, I made this thread to show some flashbacks when were younger in our wikiHow days/months. You can explain what happened when you began or during your wikiHow career and some memories that you still remember.
First up -
Anna is a normal wikiHowian. Oh, I still miss her.
VY also led in patrolling at some point.
And even Seymour Edits was strong to make new summaries to lead once.
Here are more leaders that once and went…
BTW… I remember Helpie’s old image. It was a paw of herself.

I found some old edits in the Sandbox: I actually remembered the one where someone put a message in red at the beginning of the article! Here’s some proof: https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Sandbox&diff=26052975&oldid=26034714

In case y’all were wondering what the NAB backlog was like back in the stone age before we had the promotion/demotion system…

And this one is my all-time favourite NAB encounter ever…

No screenshots, but I am currently reminiscing to the time when we had Vanilla forums.

I have no screenshots, but I’m remembering my first days on wikiHow
I remember being confused when my first article (Build the Biggest, Best Blanket Fort Ever) was deleted. I didn’t know that duplicate articles weren’t allowed.
And now it happened again! My article on Not Be Bored In Quarantine is apparently a duplicate of Avoid Boredom While Social Distancing. In my defense, I’d never even heard of that article.
All I hope is that the rest of my articles aren’t duplicates… and I’d really love for my latest one to get promoted by next January.

I miss Anna and how she used to be a little snarky in her private log entries

I was confused at why you blanked out one of the names, and I realized that you screenshotted the CheckUser log.

I have some screenshots of the Vanilla forum somewhere… I just have to find them.

The Vanilla forums: where you had a pfp that’s the same as your pfp on the main site, and they’re not cropped to a circle.

I was very talkative when I joined. Not that I only talked about non wikiHow stuff, however, I talked a lot and commented on almost all forum discussions. I think I am calmer now.
Thanks @ICanGuessItLol
for the pic of my patrolling days. It’s really good to see that image.

I was extremely over eager, and a little hot-headed though it may not have seemed like it. Here is one example of my absolute airheadedness:
Looking back, I totally regret saying that… (its safe to assume I have a lot of regrets about my wiki-Past)

It just means that we all come pretty agitated from real life however, wikiHow taught us to be objective even if our work got deleted.I was angered too, this way, when I joined. Thanks to wikiHow, I am calmer.
