This week it’s Thanksgiving in the US. Although I know many of you don’t live in the US, I thought it would still be nice to take a moment to be thankful for our wonderful wikiHowians and the outstanding efforts we see here on a daily basis.

I’m definitely thankful that I get to be a part of this wonderful community and thankful for my interactions with you all. If you’re game, feel free to post a comment below and let us know what you are thankful for! (On or off the wiki.)

If you haven’t already signed up for a wikiHow anniversary card, check out this thread , too! 

Congrats to everyone who contributed this week, whether I noted your contribution here or not! I also want to give you a heads up that next week there won’t be an achievements post - so feel free to be extra positive to others when you see a great edit around the site :)

Happy Thanksgiving Jayne. I am thankful to wikiHow for being a source of light in my life. Whenever I see a friendly message, I feel extremely happy. When I help improve an article or help a wikifriend, I feel wonderful that my knowledge which I didn’t think was as useful or was ever going to be used, helped. All this is possible because of the combined effort of the staff who work in areas that we may not help, community that is so kind and powerful and some anons who try to help the best they can. I am also thankful to the readers of wikiHow who help encourage us. I hope Yehoshua blesses us.

I am so thankful that I have so many supportive people that I can connect to online when people in real life are making me feel bad. Thanks so much for featuring my edit, it really made my day!

Congratulations to everyone making a positive change. I don’t celebrate Thanksgiving but, to everyone who does, have a good one.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Yay! I’m thankful for all of you and hope to see you at the meetup! I am so thankful for my family, friends of all ages (a few of who are like family to me), the opportunity that I get to work on very advanced math. I am thankful to be around cute and funny young kids, and this year I had the amazing opportunity to teach Spanish part-time at the kindergarten and first grade levels for a school project. And for foreign languages and most of all…the fact that I am living and breathing in this wonderful world!:slight_smile:

13

I’m thankful for all the positive people in my life that care about me, and I am thankful for getting a mention here.

Congrats to everyone who made it in the post.:smiley:

I know that I’m a little late but again, thanks so much for the mention, It means so much to me, as I didn’t think that I was going to be god at anything on here, and I think I’m one of the younger users on here, so I was really worried that I’d do badly. Luckily, I don’t think I under-performed too much and I am so pleased that I have some friends like Jayne who are really helpful. Absolutely chuffed with this, so thanks so much!
