Hey all - this will be the last achievements post of 2016!  I expect I’ll get the next one together for posting in the second week of January (highlighting edits from the first week), so I tried to make this one extra meaty to tide us over for a bit. Mostly last week’s stuff, but a few things I saw this week, too:slight_smile:

As we wrap the year up, let’s celebrate these rad edits and articles, and everything that this wonderful community has done in 2016. Wishing everyone out there a very happy end of the year and a great start to 2017! 

Oh, and to those of you who signed up for holiday/New Years/anniversary cards, keep your eyes on the mail in the coming weeks:slight_smile:
