Brilliant! I get the chance to thank Yoninah for their contribution to DYK. What could be easier.... over 200 well written articles is the minimum for this award. However here we have an editor who assumes AGF and who calms wikidramas. Ada Lovelace day was celebrated because you saw an opportunity to do something for no reward. A big thank you from me, womeninred, DYK and Wikipedia. Victuallers (talk) 16:49, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

How you did not lose your cool with me, I will never know. The fact that you continued to WP:AGF and understood I was just a confused noob and not refusing to get the point is commendable.
