@JayneG and I had tons of fun compiling community achievements this week… it’s great to get back in the swing of the weekly posts!

Goodbye July, Hellllooo August! Huge cheers to everyone who made the wiki better as July came to close, whether you’re featured here or not:slight_smile:

Noteworthy Edits That Stood Out:

✯ @R2_d2000 on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Visit-Disney's-Animal-Kingdom&diff=prev&oldid=26858628

  • R2’s edit here may seem small but it’s a great example of someone fine-tuning a page to keep it as up-to-date as possible, as the park changes. It’s cool to see us staying current!

✯ @Sewing-Girl on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Apply-for-a-Marriage-License-in-Delaware&diff=26858906&oldid=26855703

  • Flora helped out a new work-in-progress article with some formatting to get it closer to our go-to style.

✯ @MymyB on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Play-Papa's-Pancakeria&type=revision&diff=26892501&oldid=26854097

  • Mymy worked on a big expansion and accuracy edit to this outdated stub - it’s turning into a neat gaming guide!

✯ @Mrappbrain on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Make-Civilization-V-Run-Faster&type=revision&diff=26894277&oldid=20295116

  • Mrappbrain tackled a bold edit to update and make this gaming page more accurate.

✯ @Kitty0 on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Change-Your-Username-on-Animal-Jam&type=revision&diff=26898637&oldid=22522650

  • Kitty0 did a bold rewrite to make this page accurate for readers and get it ready to go live.

✯ @CPenguin17 on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Write-a-Programming-Article-on-wikiHow&diff=0&oldid=25995715

  • CPenguin did some HTML formatting to help this guide. The new MW seems less tolerant of iffy HTML than the old versions, so edits like this will help keep articles looking right!

✯ @Donagan on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Simplify-a-Ratio&type=revision&diff=26905049&oldid=26845008

  • Don did some editing to help clear up the terminology and flow in this math topic.

✯ Newbie @Bian-Penny on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Check-Surfing-Condition&diff=prev&oldid=26853850

  • Bian dove right in, making some helpful copyedits throughout this page, on their first-ever edit. Brave and helpful:slight_smile:

✯ Newbie @BabushkaD2008 on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Become-a-Lawyer-in-the-United-States&diff=prev&oldid=26867482

  • BabushkaD2008 caught some pretty amusing typos in desperate need of fixing - and fixed them!

✯ Newbie @The_reigny on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Pierce-Your-Ear&diff=prev&oldid=26854184

  • The_reigny made some solid fixes through the Spellchecker tool to help polish up articles.
