Thank you, Juli, for your nice email and note about the offer of a t-shirt as a gift from fellow Wikipedians. Please understand that I don't want one. |

# I said already in [[Wikipedia:Merchandise giveaways/Nominations#Gerda Arendt|the nomination]]: "Please: I don't want a t-shirt. I don't want a discussion here ;) - All I want is that editors are treated like human beings." |

# They are not. Just look at the top of the list, [[User talk:Br'er Rabbit/Archive|Jack Merridew]]. He left and then was banned, I put a red category on my user page. Many more [[Wikipedia:QAI/missed users|who's collaboration I enjoyed left]]. No t-shirt please, all I want is that editors are treated like human beings. |

Note
So, how do users win these gifts? I'm curious. Liz Read! Talk! 04:15, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- @Liz: Hi Liz! Thanks for your interest. Users are nominated by other users to receive a free WMF shirt by visiting the "Merchandise Giveaways" page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Merchandise_giveaways. Let me know if you have additional questions. Thanks! --JMatthews (WMF) (talk) 22:20, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
claim
How would I go about claiming my gift? Hiding T 13:46, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
- @Hiding:To accept your free shirt, we’ll need you to submit some information (shirt size, email address, and shipping details) through our online store using this special form:
- Form Link: https://docs.google.com/a/wikimedia.org/forms/d/1WNin3YDq93rmAUyyfhA4VSgPig1d-YHpT1_EB8A3smU/viewform?edit_requested=true
- Please contact me at jmatthews@wikimedia.org to receive additional information needed for completing the online form that is for your eyes only. :) Thank you. --JMatthews (WMF) (talk) 22:19, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
- As much as I want to WP:AGF, I don't think I can for an account that has been editing for a little over 2 weeks and now asking for my details for a t-shirt. Shall I include my PIN and mother's maiden name on the email too? Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 08:16, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Lugnuts, I can understand your being suspicious and cautious, but I assure you I am a real person, offering you a real 'free t-shirt'. I am a contractor working for WMF to manage the WMF Online Shop (https://wikimedia.myshopify.com/). See my contact info here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Merchandise. I just recently started reaching out to users for the Giveaways program (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Merchandise_giveaways). Here are the list of users who have received their free t-shirt thus far: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Merchandise_giveaways/Who_has_shirts. Here's where you were nominated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Merchandise_giveaways/Nominations#Lugnuts You can, of course, decline your free gift, but if you accept, I can assure you that we will not ask for your PIN and mother's maiden name. :) --JMatthews (WMF) (talk) 08:33, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
- As technically that t-shirt is now mine, I'd prefer you give to your local homeless charity (or equivalent good cause). Please post a pic of you donating it along with a sign saying "Lugnuts' t-shirt, donated by request". Thanks. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 08:40, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
- How are those homeless people coming along? Nice and warm now, I hope. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 08:18, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

... replying to your post on my Talk earlier this morning ...
Good morning J Matthews,
I am writing in reply to your post on my Talk earlier this morning [1]—I did not receive the message that you refer to as, "We last contacted you on 3/11/14."
Yes please! I should like to receive my gift—what do you want me to do now? — | Gareth Griffith-Jones |The WelshBuzzard| — 09:33, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Gareth Griffith-Jones, I'm so sorry you didn't receive the email I sent you on 3/11/14. Could you email me at jmatthews@wikimedia.org? That way I'll know I have your correct email address to reply back to and I will then forward you the original email, which contains all the info you'll need to order your free t-shirt for being awesome!! :) Thanks! --JMatthews (WMF) (talk) 17:48, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

The gift offer
Thank you, Juli, for your nice email and note about the offer of a t-shirt as a gift from fellow Wikipedians. Please understand that I don't want one.
- I said already in the nomination: "Please: I don't want a t-shirt. I don't want a discussion here ;) - All I want is that editors are treated like human beings."
- They are not. Just look at the top of the list, Jack Merridew. He left and then was banned, I put a red category on my user page. Many more who's collaboration I enjoyed left. No t-shirt please, all I want is that editors are treated like human beings.
- Perhaps I should better wear a t-shirt with the label on my infobox ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:31, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
