Today is my 7th WikiBirthday. I needed to tell *someone*, so I thought I'd say it here. Happy Thanksgiving to those of you in the U.S. Kingturtle ( talk) 16:41, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
And where were you all on MY birthday hmm???
I only got a b-day message after the fact, after I had to announce it on IRC...
Such a huge list of members, yet not even one of them bothers with a simple templated birthday message... -- œ ™ 02:58, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
Names should be listed day wise. -- Extra 999 ( Contact me + contribs) 05:07, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
As every year, I complain about the birthday messages. Please stop doing it, respect my privacy and personal details. Magister Mathematicae ( talk) 01:52, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

I think you need to review your messages protocol. I noticed that User_talk:Nichalp has two of your messages from last autumn. And that was a good year or so after he lost his bureaucrat flag. Are you running from an out of date database? -- Dweller ( talk) 12:12, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
Wikipedia Birthday Committee it's really wished to all the members? Ramesh Ramaiah talk 17:16, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
Can I send the Birthday Committee templates to a user on his birthday? And can I create a template?-- pratyya ( talk) 15:34, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
OlEnglish, I was thinking of looking through the list of members and marking the inactive ones/removing the blocked ones? ~ Anastasia [Missionedit] ( talk) 03:33, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
Is it possible to get first edit anniversary messages without getting birthday messages? I don't want to disclose my birthday. Oiyarbepsy ( talk) 13:12, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
Just did today's. One was an indef. blocked sock, one hasn't edited since 2011... should we clean up a little? All the best:

I just came across Template:First Edit Day 3, and I was going to add it to the list with all the others when I saw that it is apparently still awaiting approval. According to the edit history, the template has been awaiting approval for over 10 years now. What is the protocol for creating new templates and how do they become approved?

Dear All, This is a awesome idea wishing a birthday in recognition of USers contribution on Wikipedia, My birthday is 25th December. add me into wish list for birthday wishes..Thanks..-- Jogi 007 ( talk) 11:25, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
Per the advice in the above thread entitled "Process for Creating New Templates", I present the newly–created Template:First Edit Day 4. I'm specifically pinging @ Missionedit:, @ Chris troutman:, and @ Mz7:, all of whom I have noticed as active in using the templates, but I'd like feedback from anyone regarding whether this template can be added to the list on the main project page. I created it because I prefer templates that automatically sign, but the only one that currently does so is rather bland. Lepricavark (talk) 02:53, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
I was about to send First Edit Day greetings to Dravecky ( talk · contribs), but I was saddened to see that he has died. My instinct is to remove his name from Wikipedia:Birthday Committee/Calendar/June/7, but I wondered whether others might want to keep it there in his memory, or whether we should continue to send first edit anniversary greetings in his memory as well. What do you all think? Mz7 ( talk) 21:19, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
Should I remove those users who are inactive? Examples: Miles Edgeworth Astros4477 A 10 fireplane ( talk) 04:42, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
I noticed Steveo2 has been inactive and I am proposing removing him from the Template:Birthday Welcome that way they can dirrect their concerns to an active user. A 10 fireplane Imform me 16:31, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
This project needs to review it's flaky postings. - Roxy, the dog. wooF 16:28, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
I was 8 minutes late to put my birthday on the schedule 😅... maybe I'm a bit selfish, but do you all work with belated birthdays in any way? Just curious, as I expected a message when I didn't even have my name on the schedule. I probably should have learned more about this WikiProject beforehand instead of obnoxiously asking for approval after-the-fact. (This truly is a low in my Wikipedia career...) Utopes ( talk) 00:23, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
I'd ask that we put the members' list birthdays into our calendar and delete the list. There's no reason in an adhocracy to maintain a list of members. Further, by keeping a list of birthdays here we unnecessarily duplicate the other places that hold that info. Chris Troutman ( talk) 17:24, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
So... my WikiBirthday was 5 January, but I didn't get a greeting? -- awkwafaba ( 📥) 15:27, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
Regarding this edit and this edit: can any editors posting anniversary messages please check if the potential recipient is still an administrator, or is in imminent danger of having administrative privileges removed? Being reminded of an anniversary may not be a happy occasion under certain circumstances. isaacl ( talk) 01:09, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
and I'm not talking about so much yellow but there is so much yellow... and that orchid border... (and as we all know, too much yellow is too much yellow... and that orchid border...)
This recently appeared on my talk page. I have enough stuff on my plate and don't particularly care about anniversary fluff, but someone might, so that someone might want to fix the template code so that it doesn't make broken links when usernames have spaces. (and of course, yellow... and that orchid border...)

Hi,
I had my birthday skipped on December 9. What do I do? Update it? Thanks. Severestorm28 ( talk) 12:11, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
It would be nice to have a bot to automatically remove users that haven't edited in 6 months. 🐶 EpicPupper (he/him | talk) 03:23, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
