I think Kenan from the mobile team is going to comment more, but just FYI we
discussed this and agreed we should do something, though it's not hugely urgent
because mobile structured profiles are linked to in Beta only, AFAIK. 

The reason the mobile team experimented with showing Thanks is A) they didn't
know it was supposed to be private B) they want a way to show positive
connections between editors. 

We discussed a few compromises, with two distinct possibilities:

1. we remove thanks entirely for now
2. we remove the article edited, saying only "Last thanked by Foo", which
doesn't expose the article and edit the user was thanked for.
