Dear Anna! You have a great talent to inspire people. I can never tell you how much Wikipedia magic I discovered thanks to you. You are a great Wikipedian, a wonderful teacheer and a beautiful person. Hope that we will still have a chance to meet on Wikimedia events. I wish you many great adventures and I thank you for being such an inspiration to us all.
