| Define:Afore has turned out quite nicely because of your efforts, but it isn't just that. You have a dedication to finally getting this Wiki the 1000 articles it should have. Your willingness to go headfirst into the breach there shows a lot of good character from your end. Thank you!! –MJL ‐Tauk‐☖ 06:45, 14 October 2020 (UTC) |

- If ye're uisin the soorce editor ye can add citations wi templates, click the jigsaw icon and write "cite" intae the search. If that disnae wirk fer ye, ye can write it in yerself wi wan o these templates:
{{cite web}},{{cite book}},{{cite news}}, or{{citation}}. my_hat_stinks (tauk) 17:17, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
