Ah yes, those days were particularly difficult for pickle editors. Some of my ancestors accidentally chiseled themselves into spears. Anyway, thanks for the message and happy new year! I am constantly learning incrediblethings thanks to editors like you. Crunchydillpickleđ„ (talk) 16:19, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Crunchydillpickle, you have been awarded the Pickle Barnstar for inspiring a revolution! I don't think our paths have ever crossed, but saw your name on the Meetup/NYC/Wikipedia Day 2025 page, and based on your user name, think you deserve one of these awards I made a while back. Feel free to share it with anyone you think is worthy of a pickle award. Happy new year.
Oh wow, thank you. Will you be at Wikipedia Day? I'd love to meet you! I hope you've had happy holidays and that your new year is extra crunchy. Out of curiosity, what made you such a hot springs aficionado? Are there any particularly interesting springs I should read about? Thanks for all you do for Wikipedia!

Japanese Macaque soaking in an Onsen (hot spring) Hi, sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I think hot springs are such amazing natural phenomena and have an interesting history in terms of human use since ancient times. Even animals like hot springs, here's an image of Japanese macaque monkeys using hot springs and a link to some capybara soaking in hot springs which has been covered in scientific literature. What's not to like? Netherzone (talk) 17:09, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Crunchydillpickle, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.
Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.
Oh my goodness, that was not intentional. I was testing some wikitext/formatting stuff and meant to just preview the changes, not publish them. Apologies for the mistake. I will be more careful! Crunchydillpickleđ„ (talk) 04:37, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I was reading your (really fun!) userpage and saw your idea about a list of all the horse name disambiguations. I actually stumbled across this one earlier today, maybe you already know of it but just in case you don't: Newspaper of record

Happy birthday, Crunchydillpickle! I was trying to think of an appropriately pickly adjective for you. I hope your birthday is...sour? Hmm, that doesn't sound great. Trying again â I hope your birthday is...crunchy? Not sure what that'd mean. I hope your birthday is...briny? ...well-preserved? Maybe there's something related to the dill part ...weedy? Nope, that's even worse. Anyways, I'm at a loss. But I hope you have an excellent birthday filled with whatever it is that a crunchy dill pickle's heart desires!
