Your support means a lot to me, Brad. Thank you. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 22:03, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

@Cullen328: Thanks for the note. Supporting your RfA was one of the easiest decisions I've ever made on this project, and I am glad that hundreds of other Wikipedians agreed with me. And do you know what the best part is? Following the great success of your RfA, and your kindness in posting a talkpage note to each supporter ... after more than a decade, I am no longer on the hook for this! :)

Thanks again and best regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 23:22, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

Towards a goal of advancing these tools for wider use with diverse local groups.
