Okay, a traditional achievements post again… but still, if there’s an achievement you want to share, even if it’s not listed here, please do! Post edits you’re proud of making, or helpful ones that others made that caught your eye, or anything else wiki-wide that you want to celebrate with everyone:slight_smile:

Noteworthy Edits That Stood Out:

✯ @AngelAnime4Life on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Sleep-in-Animal-Jam&diff=25650747&oldid=25092427 and @Hailey on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Sleep-in-Animal-Jam&diff=25653957&oldid=25650747

  • Lily put her AJ knowledge to good use in expanding this topic and clarifying what’s possible in the game. Then @Hailey chimed in, too, and helped with some formatting to get it live. Nice teamwork!

✯ @NY-Blossom on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Deal-With-ADHD-Kids&diff=25658555&oldid=23899630

  • NY-Blossom added a really helpful IEP alternative to this topic. It’ll be great for readers to know what options are out there for all kids with ADHD - this’ll really help!

✯ @TriteAndJaded on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Play-Nerf-Humans-vs.-Zombies&diff=25660853&oldid=25621598

  • After seeing their image request come through, TriteAndJaded returned to an article they started a little while back and built upon it. It’s neat to see topics growing over time, both with input from new people and more ideas from the original author. Super wiki wiki!

✯ @Stevecon on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Replace-the-Combustion-Chamber-of-an-Oil-Furnace&diff=25669753&oldid=24030239

  • Steve dropped in to do a little fine-tuning and rewording on this article. The fact it already has 100% helpfulness didn’t put him off from making it even better. What a solid resource for readers!

✯ @Luke-Frazier on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Make-Peach-Jam-Pancakes&diff=prev&oldid=25663815

  • Luke tackled the intro here to remove the personal references and prepare the reader for the topic… and then he went even further, copyediting and fine-tuning the format, too. Some further details will be needed for this one to go live as a distinct article, but the structure and existing writing are now ready for people to build upon it.

✯ @TheArtsPerson on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Make-a-Makeshift-Lyre&diff=prev&oldid=25667933

  • TheArtsPerson was just patrolling a categorizer edit here, but that didn’t stop them from jumping in to improve the page. They tackled a not-so-quick Quick Edit, fixing up the writing and format throughout the article. It reads much more professionally already and is off to a much better start!

✯ @SunnySideUpSmile on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Read-Treble-Staff&diff=25688512&oldid=25687265

  • River tackled a full expansion/rewrite to take an nfd|not or nfd|inc and turn it into the core of a helpful how-to. It saved it from removal!

✯ @VeeTHis on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Make-a-School-Map-(for-a-Class-Project)&diff=prev&oldid=25683682

  • VeeTHis helped to clean up the language and fix the step order and image placement on this one. The result is an article that’s easier to follow along as you read through the steps.

✯ Newbie @Miguel-Trillo on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Play-Bass&diff=25658913&oldid=25021966

  • Miguel put his musical experience to great use here, explaining and extending the descriptions of terms in the article. Newbie readers will no doubt really appreciate the clarifications!

✯ Newbie @James-Madonia on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Become-a-Star-Trek-Fan&diff=prev&oldid=25662628

  • James dove in with some Trekkie knowledge to encourage new enthusiasts to take it slowly getting to know all the series. It’s much more reasonable advice than the prior step on watching every series/episode/film over and over again… definitely a step in the right direction for this topic.

✯ Newbie @Snowpool on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Fix-Delayed-Push-Notifications-on-Android-Using-PNF&diff=prev&oldid=25666756 and https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Send-Cad‐Cam-Files-with-LeapFILE&diff=prev&oldid=25666820

  • Snowpool took the initiative to edit these guides outside of tools to fix the wording errors they found there. A great example of fixing typos as you spot them, even if you’re not in the Spellchecker or a similar tool.

✯ Newbie @Skuleris_The_Pokemon on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Make-a-Creepypasta-Original-Character&diff=25670516&oldid=25120819

  • Skuleris dove in with some writing tips to build upon a stub on scary/creepy writing. They used rhetorical questions and examples to really help the reader consider and process what they want to do with their OC.
