Thank you, tireless warrior for sourced content, for quality articles on video games and films, such as Batman: Arkham City, Prometheus and The Expendables 2, for the mantra "Expanding article" and lively edit summaries, for pointing at "misusing rules to ban people for no reason" and "Brownie, better than eating a Xmas tree any day", - you are an awesome Wikipedian!
