(Oinkers42): One of my first Wiki-buddies who I bumped into a lot working on articles related to Nintendo. He first invited me to Wikiproject Nintendo and Wikiproject Video games in tangent. I credit this Wikiproject for being why I stuck around.
Alexandra IDV: She helped me quite often as we both worked actively on articles related to Mario RPGs.
Hillelfrei (presumed retired They're back!): Manually improved my first article creation (and my first contributions to Wikipedia) to make it mainspace ready.
IceWelder: A user who was kind enough to review my first good article nomination, Super Mario Bros. 35. I was very new but quickly jumped into the swing of things, so I'm very thankful for his patience and thouroughness.
Nick Moyes: A friendly admin and Teahouse host who guided me through early editing mistakes without bashing me for them.
North8000: They reviewed my first article creation (and my first edits to the site), Edgenuity. They gave suggestions to improve the article and taught me basic editing skills along the way.
