A barnstar for you!

	The Technical Barnstar
	Thanks DaB for all your hard work with the toolserver "stuff." Thanks also for your great explanation for me the other day, I appreciate it. And while patience is surely not a virtue of mine, your explanation and friendly response meant a lot. Thanks again for your volunteer work and all you do for Wikimedia.

PGP key

Hi DaB., This is Tonyxty. I have a PGP key but it was created for communication with a specific server. I believe it is not a good practice to use a PGP key for multiple purposes, so I created one for email encryption and posted a link to the key server on my user page. It's on keyserver.ubuntu.com and has ID 0x53D16E478268A9BA. Tony Beta Lambda (talk) 03:30, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks :-). --DaB. (talk) 12:44, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am abroad at the moment, and do not have access to GnuPG, and am locked out of my email due to the differing location. If there is anything that does not require cryptographic security, feel free to use my talk page. If it must be secure, I will be away and without this information for two weeks. In addition, may I know why you are requesting everyone's PGP keys? Rarkenin (talk) 06:09, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"works for the German Wikipedia"

On your talk page, you say, "Most of the time DaB. works for the German Wikipedia". I think you mean "works on the German Wikipedia". In English, "works for" means an employment relationship. If you are indeed a Wikipedia employee, it would be important to indicate that clearly; on the other hand, if you are not, it would be important to change your wording. With respect,
