Dear Geoff, Wikimedia Ukraine had a pleasure to work with you and your team closely at least twice: when we wanted to make sure that our community event logo was not breaking any rules and when we had a dispute about Wiki Loves Monuments in Crimea. The last issue was really big to tackle amiably, of course, but it is not a point here. I am grateful for your work and I wish you good luck in the new chapters of your life!
