Now you know
Perhaps my best geek edit
A five cushion bank shot: italicizing the Star Trek and Buffy the Vampire Slayer links on Wikipedia's Klingon language page.
Hey! I saw that you edited the article Black Mirror and thought maybe you would be interested in this new user category I created?-🐦Do☭torWho42 (⭐) 10:48, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
