DYK credits
Find link User:Hafspajen/Temp; Hi Hafspajen, I credited you, Yngvadottir and Eric on the DYK for Gingerbread house - you can see the actual nomination here. SuggestBot seems to have done odd things to your talk page - the background is all grey starting from a section higher up? SagaciousPhil - Chat 17:10, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the pics into the draft for me, Hafspajen, it's very much appreciated! I've a long way to go on it yet but I've managed to find plenty of refs to use. I'm just hoping that once the weather improves - it's a bit wet and miserable today - I'll then be able to get some pictures of the mausoleum, which is in some woodland a little distance from the main house and up a rather rough muddy track. I think to get Drmies to notice (s)he is sitting in the Cultural depictions of dogs article, you might need to link his/her name in the caption? 
SagaciousPhil - Chat 13:57, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
- Well done of you. Those are very good pics. He is a he, most definitely. Well, I try. Hafspajen (talk) 14:01, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
- Drat and double drat, I see you noticed the delicate lean on the main house picture? And here I was thinking I could start a new tourist attraction, a bit like the Leaning Tower of Pisa! SagaciousPhil - Chat 16:24, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry Phil. It is leaning... a bit like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, yes. But probably the castle is quite verical. But you said that you will go back, and than you can take maybe a new pic? Or - crop this one? Hafspajen (talk) 16:30, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

God to have
We'd need to make it more prominent in the article, but what's your opinion of this? Adam Cuerden (talk) 17:02, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
- Very nice, and a better place is doable. I would cut of just a little - NOT much, just sightly of the foregroung. It would be beneficial for the composition. But I would not touch the reflection in the water and leave quite a bit under the bridge reflection too. Crop off about ... half of the distance between the reflection of the bridge in the water and the edge of the pic as it is now. Hafspajen (talk) 17:08, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
- That does cut off the top of the pagoda reflection on the right, though. Is that a problem? Adam Cuerden (talk) 21:50, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
- I meant that the pagoda reflection should be the last thing seen in water. Not a problem, but it will make the picture closer to the Golden ratio. Hafspajen (talk) 21:54, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Belated Franz
I asked about people who know Russian and Russian history better than me, but I'm afraid Franz Roubaud is rather obscure. Apparently nothing in major Soviet biographical encyclopedias either.
Sorry that I forgot about replying. Better late than never, I suppose. :-| Hope you have a nice jul and all!

But he is uncivil everywhere, even before.Not the first time, [6], [7], [8], [9], User_talk:Castncoot #Learning to Fly at User_talk:Ahunt#User:WPPilot(don't believe it when he say me and him fixed our problems, we never did fixed anything)]. He is much for seeing things and attacks where there is no reason to believe there is any.
- WPPilot started editing the Signpost, AND I swear I NEVER asked him to start editing it regularely. The first incident was when he never checked what he was writing, when making a description on the featured subject, saying the Capitol was finished in 1800 - a factual error. I covered up that.
- But he never stopped to edit in is this sloppy way, he just went on and just non-stop copied everything from the articles, and took everything, pasted it in, with IPAs, sometimes ever references included, than he expected that we should fix that. It is just as much work, if not more to do so, It is to no help. Doing Signpost was something I enjoyed, that gradually was getting worse, because of this editor, it would have been better if he never did anything at all,- because it was just as much work fixing his entries than doing it all by yourself. He was doing just more incoherent, sloppy editing. We had discussions on his edits User talk: Adam Cuerden#Featured content, (mind it is entry Nr 181), but he carried on the same way. Also, here, and he never stopped copying. Here, the very last issue - he was copying my own words, on top of everything, [10] and [11] and made it so badly that nobody understood my comment 'so much for an unicorn cos he never ever EXPLAINED it at all, that unicorns prefer virgins. How could anyone expect that people should get the comment it he doesn't explain it - they are not supposed to know that.
- After the different comments on his editing he started the name-calling and fits of anger, Hafspajen, your full of shit. This was my answer. See also User talk: Adam Cuerden#Maners, entry 220. More name calling, you are rude and ungrateful.
you are childish and unproductive, What is wrong with you? You whine like a little child, and continue to bash me at ever chance you can get. Grow up and get over it, act like a child .. just ridiculous and your out of line, act like a child - again, Hafspajen you are borderline crazy - clearly out of your mind,
The borderline crazy - clearly out of your mind that was this mistake. Phil who corrects my spelling errors all over the place, realized much faster what is this all about. But Pilot, he went on complaining at Gamaliel's user calls me potential murderer. I explained above - I was shouring at in the main street by some old guy who ... read it. [12]
- Than Ed comes rushing saying I am a troll. [13]. Are administrators allowed to carry on like this? He previously called me sexist too, accusing me for adding sexist degrading comments towards women. None of that was true. Not even close. Nobody ever called me a troll here under my entire carrier. I perceive this as a most serious accusation, and even wors than sexist. Also the Skype program ... well, I think one should discuss things openly. Somewhere this has to end, and and it ends here. User:Ex-Hafspajen (talk) 05:54, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
- Well, Ed didn't call you a sexist troll: he was talking about two comments, from unrelated discussions, and he didn't say it about you. On the other hand, WPPilot, this was pretty assholish and really counts as a personal attack. Hafspajen, I hope to see you around soon. If all else fails, consider doing what I sometimes do: stick with the articles and stay away from the chat. Or log in to one of your sock accounts... Drmies (talk) 22:25, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Missing you
Hafspajen, hasn't your wiki-break been long enough? There's a whole lot of people who miss you here. Please come back. CorinneSD (talk) 14:01, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, it's just no fun anymore without you. And DrMies' page is just one unbroken wall of text. And FC is now full of racist remarks about crackers. Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 09:10, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
Xanthomelanoussprog, I have been told to stay away from Signpost and the editor, unless I go Skype. I simply have nowhere to bring up this issue. And I don't believe in a group editors going off-wiki for discussing issues there; - like the Signpost editorial staff editors - instead of doing it on-Wiki. Also I think text should be rewritten and not copied from articles, too. The main issue here has always been that it is required per Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. But any times the issue was raised:
- (21 February) politely (Don't just copy and paste the lead, because we are not supposed to do that, we should use the text to write up a summary) -
- (10 March) at User talk:Adam Cuerden#Maners
- (10 April) was raised again - clealy, but it was constantly ignored:
- with answers like: ( "it can be consuming and tough to paraphrase") , or just whisked away "I don't have time for this anymore. Adam Cuerden|Hafspajen|Gamaliel please take the convo elsewhere.", that I am rude, or like the very last time I was told to grow up and that I am ridiculous, and such.
It was met by incivility by this editor, some diff above; mixed with occasional apologies, and then it was starting all over again, while nobody else took the issue seriously. I did try to discuss this several times, nobody listened. Calling someone ungrateful, unproductive, rude, childish, borderline, full of shit, ridiculous and crazy are WP:Personal attacks.
Nobody took the copyvio issue seriously either, nor the incivility the editor reacted with towards me. But it is required per WP:CWW:
Not everything copied from one Wikipedia page to another requires attribution. If the re-user is the sole contributor of the text at the other page, attribution is not necessary. Content rewritten in one's own words does not need attribution. However, duplicating material by other contributors that is sufficiently creative to be copyrightable under US law (as the governing law for Wikipedia), requires attribution.
See at WP:CWW. As stated I did try to discuss this with several occasions, nobody listened. Editor was reacting with increasing incivility when pointed out, escalating more and more, every time. There is no need to gather evidence (here is one), the whole last couple Signpost editions are full with bits and parts of copivio. Last it was me who was the author copied. But it went so far that Signpost chief editors were telling me not to criticize editor but stay away from him. Like here, this, for example, in the current Signpost version is entirely taken from the article Shakespearean tragedy. In the current version is not even a link provided to the article. Is not even linked to painter, nor tho the to right article, King Lear. Some of the descriptions include unexplained terms and generally look taken from somewhere. However providing a link to article is not attribution. Nobody ever discussed anything with me, about the issues raised above. And let's not forget the other parallel issue: the incivility, that erupted with every occasion this was brought up. I was told to discus it on Skype or nowhere. Now the editor was forbidding me to contact him, and the Signpost redaction is going off-Wiki to discuss where I never joined them. The e-mail I enabled for the Signpost-folks, it collapsed and is not working any more.
Hafspajen, disruptive editor
- All this caused that I now have been accused by being disruptive, causing months of passive aggressive and intentional attacks, mainly because of the other editor said so, without taking up any diffs or providing any evidence for it. He never digged up any evidence himself at all, but expected everybody to believe him without any evidence at all. And actually in fact, there is no such diffs to support his claims. But I think some people indeed believed him. Like most of the Signpost editorial staff, I guess (guess because I have no idea what's going on behind the scene).
- This is the kind of editor who was accusing me off being disruptive, but who for example placed an image of a fruitcake on a talk page of an user who identifies as being gay - (fruitcake is here), and who is involved in plenty of conflicts and controversies, an editor who (without providing any evidence for his claims) requires simply everybody just believes him. The whole Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#User:WPPilot is worth reading trough. It was bad of me to AGF him so easily I did, I should have checked the rather huge amount of conflicts he was already involved, when started editing Signpost. Others should have done that too. But the only thing anybody seemingly ever cared or remarked on was me offending (?) the editor, well, that was the typo. Now pick your choice if you believe that was trolling or not. One editor gifted with analytic ability remarked something here - and I say, she is totally right about my spelling (unfortunately) ... I think it is rather more balanced than the comment The user has now called me a potential murderer, though it looks like many believed the later comment.
One of the most famous paintings of all time?
And may I ask why current Signpost Featured content is saying Napoleon Crossing the Alps is one of the most FAMOUS paintings OF ALL TIME?
- Because it is simply not true.
- But under a whole week, nobody ever noticed it.
- This newspaper is going out all over Wiki and it has a tremendous NPOV mistake in it. Guess who put than into it.
- The most famous paintings of all time - that would surely be Mona Lisa, The Creation of Adam, by (Michelangelo), The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai', +The Kiss by Gustav Klimt, + Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper; + Sandro Botticelli's Primavera, + Pablo Picasso's Guernica,; + Johannes Vermeer, Girl with a Pearl Earring,+ the Arnolfini Portrait, and such
- If one chose to use big peacock words than at least use them well, and truthfully. Napoleon Crossing the Alps, is one of the very moderately famous paintings, but no way one of the most famous paintings of all time. I would say that it is not that famous at all. Check refs.
Some find it stiff and lifeless, proof of David’s ineptness at capturing movement. Some see it not as art, but propaganda, pure and simple. Some snigger at its overblown, action-packed, cliff-hanging momentousness, with shades of “Hi ho Silver, away!” Some have it down as a sort of beginning of the end moment in David’s career, before he officially became Napoleon’s artist-lackey.
- The only thing one might safely say of that painting that it is one of the most well know (famous*) portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte . (There are other; just as famous portraits of Napoleon, by the way.) It is a good painting, it deserves to be a FP, BUT IT IS not one of the most famous paintings of all time. This kind of remarks give bad reputation to Signpost, if any editor who knows about art discovers it, and there is a fair amount of art presented there every week.
And
- I do think that before theses issues started with the editor joining, our work made Signpost more interesting and fun, and we all worked together fine, under extended periods of time, Adam was sharp, witty and funny, Xanty was doing interesting things and being crazy with his comments, and me contributing on arts, cultural topics, botanic, and occasionally being funny too. We all were getting along greatly. Observe that I never had any issues with any of those, ever, ever. It was great, and may good editions came out of it: [14], [15], [16], [17], [18].
- Also mark that I did cooperated creatively with a huge amount editors, on articles, FPs, DYKs and so on. I am not known as a person who can't work together with others, as the Signpost redaction is now made to believe; me being constantly involved in a disturbing amount of conflicts with other editors.
- I like to think I did some useful contributions to Wikipedia. Nominated about c. 100 Featured pictures, completed 29-30 DYKs, wrote about 50 articles, I was getting alone just fine with people, and had plenty of friends.
- Nobody seems to noticed, pointed out or recognized this fact in this conflict.
- It was instead Ed who stepped in a rather unfortunate way, at times. His remarks were at times not to well formulated or researched.
- This went on parallel to this was the other issue. Ed remarked, though in a polite way, that I made a sexist comment. But if anyone checks the definition of sexism: Sexism or gender discrimination is prejudice or discrimination based on a person's sex or gender - than the comment I made in Signpost about an older woman having a relationship with a younger man that can work, well, going by that definition, in fact it is the opposite of a sexist comment. There was no need to remove that. Using the word girl instead ladies, well, might been a point. Burt I had certain difficulties convincing anyone about comment not being sexist. Even bigger difficulties convincing him or Signpost editorial staff I was not trolling. That is kinda hard to digest. And how can I if they only discuss things on Skype?
Copying
About copying; At top of Signpost it say: Text may be adapted from the respective articles and lists; refer to their page histories for attribution. It doesn't say: Text may be copied from the respective articles and lists without no attribution.
About
going off Wiki, WP:EEML
13) All editors are reminded that the editorial process and dispute resolution must take place on Wikipedia itself, using the article talk pages and project space for this purpose. No discussion held off-wiki can lead to a valid consensus, the basis of our editorial process. Off-wiki coordination is likely to lead to echo chamberswhere there is a false appearance of neutrality and consensus.
- See ... Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Eastern_European_mailing_list. Especially look at "Participants admonished" and "Editors reminded" sections under "Remedies".
Thanks:
- Thank you anyway, Sagaciousphil {{ping|7&6=thirteen}}, (this ping never works) CorinneSD, and Cassianto for trying to defend me.
Because:
- I never wrote a sexist comment.
- I never trolled.
- I never directed 3 months of drama and non stop aggression towards that editor.
- Show me where was I calling WPPilot ungrateful, unproductive, rude, childish, borderline, full of shit, ridiculous and crazy (like he called me...)
- (And skip the typo thing, my intention was different, but it is up to those to judge who are perfect, and never make mistakes. Show me something else).
- Thank you all who said kind words above. Dr. Blofeld, you gave me a Wiki-defender barnstar on 8 April - I am afraid, I didn't managed to well this time. Apart from my personal feelings seriously hurt, the copivio is still an ongoing issue, and I am kinda banned from discussing it for different reasons. Hafspajen (talk) 15:15, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

... responded to your question here.
Why do I don't want to be around more? Because I have been treated unfair, that's why. I feel I have been unjustly treated. I don't like injustice. Until recently I believed that Wikipedia was a fair system. I don't do that any more.
- 1) You see, I wonder, how come that nobody ever noticed that I indeed had Wikipedia's best interest in sight?
- 2) How come that nobody notices that I was trying to do the right thing, all the way through this conflict, or a series of conflicts?
- How come that I am now the person who is the guilty part and nobody ever noticed anything else but my so called faults, my mistakes and my issues? Justice is often depicted with her eyes blindfolded. That is a symbol of justice, of not looking at the person, NOT GOING BY PREJUDICES, taking sides, but only by the facts. It is a symbol of judging impartially and not getting blinded by big words, big phrases, rhetoric, but judging the truth and nothing but the truth.
I still like to think I did rather a lot of useful contributions to Wikipedia. As I stated above, nominated about c. 100 Featured pictures, completed 29-30 DYKs, wrote about 50 articles, was trying to help other people with their nominations at FP, wrote articles for their nominations when I noticed they nominated a valuable painting, but without EV. I had nothing against sharing things with others, tying to help them, learn them things, protect them sometimes, standing up for them and being there for them, when they needed it.
Now, when I needed help, I look behind me and I don't notice many. I feel cut of, isolated, left alone and notice how people stay away from me and don't want to get involved. There is always an excuse. The most hurtful thing about this is that I actually was fighting for WWPilot's nominations, those few he ever succeeded to feature, - actually almost half of it - I was engaged and was trying to support and convince others about it. Stupid me.
- It was unfortunately also me, who asked him to write his own entry at Signpost, not Adam, as far as I know, even if WPP. nowadays try to say it was different. If supported with any diffs, of course I might believe that.
- Also unfortunately, I realized soon that some of WPPilots entries at Signpost were copied. The descriptions made by him included unexplained terms and generally look taken from somewhere; were and are poorly drafted and uninteresting; he was and is often talking about something entirely different thing, than the picture or the painting that was featured.
- First I was cleaning up after him, fixing the mess, than pointing out to him his mistakes. Whenever I tried to point this out, he wasn't listening, nobody was listening, and nothing ever changed. He stated himself: "it can be consuming and tough to paraphrase these at times".
But hey, that is exactly what editing the Signpost is about! To write up a summary, to add something interesting, to make it fun and easy to read and a bit educational too! This what is required when editing Signpost Featured Content. But no, he continued the copy and paste, over and over again. Also, his edits were just making more work for others. I tried to cover up and correct, until I got tired.
- Signpost, his edit: [19]
- Article 1:, Gustav Klimt: Here I just tried to rewrite a bit to avoid copivio. (why on earth Pilot is talking about the erotics and women's body, when the painting is about beech trees goodness only knows.)
- Redoing:[20]
- His edit: [21]
- His edit: [24]
- His edits: [27]
And so on and on and on. This also made everything a bit boring and heavy. Soon I noticed that literary each and every contribution he adds to Signpost, is indeed nothing else but a copy and paste of the different parts of the articles on Wikipedia (or something the nominator wrote in the nomination, so much worse).
Every time I pointed out the copivio issues to WWPilot, he was reacting with an increasing amount of incivility, trying to do anything; but change. My comments irritated him. It was impossible to have a normal discussion about this with him, he took everything as an aggressiveness directed towards his own person. For some weird reason everybody at Signpost was overlooking this, both WWPilot's incivility and the copivio issues I pointed out, and the fact he doesn't wanted to discuss it or change his editing. This was already happening a month ago, like 10 March. Possibly because of the amount of drama WPPilot was stirred up, and the issue was drowning into. He couldn't discuss this in an objective way, he reacted every time with more and more insults and incivility. Until I decided that while this incivility is going on and nobody is saying a word about it, I will now stay away a while from Signpost.
Edition is late
- This happened when nobody reacted at User talk:Adam Cuerden#Maners at the incivility issues, so I stopped for a while editing the Signpost. Thanks to this, the next edition was two days late. Those times I made most of the work, and people were used to leave things to me.
When the edition was late, I got pinged by the newsroom, and decided to put my personal feelings of being hurt by WPPilot's incivility aside, and returned, and save the edition.
- I was working all night to get it in shape and publishable. I went to bed 5. 40 o'clock in the morning. When I switched on again; instead of a note like; great, thank you all your work, I was notified that one of the main editors removed a comment I added, remarking that I made a sexist comment. An other editor commented somewhere that the Signpost Featured Content was like a boy's club.
- Now that was kinda unfair, because I am a strait women, and I would never make any sexist or derogatory comment on women. The comment removed was not sexist at all, either, actually the opposite, was judged according the answers by only one single other woman's, it was her opinion, and she never read the whole entry, but was only shown one certain sentence ... and so on.
- It felt ridiculous. I knew I was a woman, I knew I was not sexist, I knew the comment was not sexist. But I got the impression of a massive wall of editors, all men, ganging up together against me, keeping their position, making decisions above my head, not ever discussing things with me, and now lecturing me, me, who was (probably) the only woman editor in the Signpost (sic) about making sexist comments. So much for the Gender Gap issues and how to keep women involved at Wikipedia, an issue exactly these editors themselves are often writing about in Signpost. Sigh. After this I did indeed stopped editing Signpost, removed my name from the editors list.
10 April
10 April I raised again several issues, this time, because now I was an outsider, and not a co-worker any more, on the Signpost talk, pointing out that WPP. copied my own nomination, - but this was also ignored. (He also credited the wrong person, (me) with a nomination instead of adding the right user, too).
Nothing happened, except for a new wave of wild incivility from WPPilot. During all this period, WPPilot was calling me ungrateful, unproductive, rude, childish, borderline, full of shit, ridiculous and crazy - among other things. I never responded in kind. But I made a mistake typing a word. English is not my first language. But Pilot convinced the main editors on Signpost that what I did it was deliberate, they gave credit to him, and they did believed him ten, that I was trolling.
WPPilot, when he noticed he had the other editors with him, was now openly accusing me of being disruptive, directing months of passive aggressive and intentional attacks towards him. But when he was asked to, never provided any diffs or any evidence for his claims. In fact, there is no such diffs to support his claims.
Now that is kinda still very weird, and unjust. Nobody ever cared to ask him for any of his accusations to be supported properly. Except for me.
This conflict above made the Signpost main editors requiring off-wiki communication of me, (and a particular venue, on Skype). From now on, the only place where the Signpost main editors were directing me to discuss anything at all, was a discussion, off-Wiki, on Skype. No way to discuss anything, anywhere, only of Wiki, were, if one wants to look at the issue, it could be seen also this way: they might wanted ton try to isolate me from the others and the possible support I might have received from others.
The Signpost editorial staff was and some still defending WPPilot, were acting on his behalf, forbidding me to go near him and was at a certain point even accusing me by trolling, and on the other hand constantly ignoring the issues raised, and ignoring the fact that he himself was was rude and uncivil.
- ( *About the trolling issue I accepted Eds apology as he accepted mine, me being rather sarcastic... well, I was. )
- But how come that during all this period many just preferred to only notice one side of the problem, and never try to judge things fairly? The only thing I still tried to clear up was the copivio. Somehow. Not a reaction. My latest try was to try to figure out why the Signpost main editors simply refused to discuss issues with me on Wiki. No answer.
- Somewhere it was stated that they have to consider WPP. feelings. How come than they never ever though that they had to consider my feelings? Am I not wort just as much as a person?
- And, when it comes to the difference in our contributions, well, I think one can notice a certain difference. About WPPilot, I am inclined to think that much of his contributions are WP:NOTHERE mostly self-promotional. He is editwarring to get his own photos in the articles, he is mostly working with his own pictures. WWPilot, from the very beginning, even before starting working at Signpost, was involved in a rather big amount of controversies. Nobody checked this, not me, or nobody else from the editorial staff. He is hot-tempered and was involved in a rather large amount of controversies. There are plenty of diffs: [30][31][32], WPPilot was also blocked for incivility,[33][34][35][36][37][38]. How come that these diffs never talk their own language?
- Now that is slightly different from the work I have done on Wikipedia and my efforts put into the project. But if my editing, my edit history and my work om Wikipedia and on Signpost before, is not enough so they should AGF me on these issue, I better give up. I don't want to participate to a project like this any more. Hafspajen (talk) 15:54, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
Post Scriptum
- I sometimes think some people might join the Singpost, only because the Signpost editors name can be read high up on the page, where everybody can notice it. It is also my private opinion that they should stop doing that, entirely - or move it to the end of the edition, with very small letters - and not posted it at the beginning.
And lastly:
The Signpost edition pride themselves with the fact they are supporting women editors. But what they actually did, was chasing away the women editor they had. Instead of using every possible means, saying sorry, we were wrong, we never knew you were a woman, you were wrongly accused of being sexist, we are desolated and we behaved like idiots, please come back or at least accept our apology... Like they should act if they really cared for women editors.....instead they say :Nobody accused her of anything, she just think so. She is imagining things... It is all imagination.
But here in fact a woman was accused by something she can't be and by not acknowledging this is they push away a legitimate concern of a woman editor, being falsely accused and never vindicated or taken seriously. By those who say they care about women (and who block Eric with a drop of a hat for any feminist remark). This is coming from people who write several pages of the importance of retaining women editors or engaging women editors. Hafspajen (talk) 17:21, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
Justice suffered in great need.
Did you know ... that a church's 1510 spiral of justice declares: "Justice suffered in great need. Truth is slain dead. Faith has lost the battle"?
Hafspajen, this is more than 500 years old and will probably not change during out lifetime. You have been treated unfairly, I have been treated unfairly, I could name you 50 others easily who have been treated unfairly. If we wait for fairness we will wait long.

Please reconsider
Hafs, please reconsider, and continue to participate at WP. I've told you before, but I'll tell you again, that your contributions are invaluable and much appreciated by those who can recognize it, ie., your friends, and your presence and delightful comments, images, edits, and assistance are appreciated and enjoyed by many. Don't let one disrespectful editor, and a few clumsy friends, get you down. CorinneSD (talk) 20:26, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
- OK, I will think of it. But not now. I don't feel like sharing space and arguing with editors and admins who support an editor who is an indefinitely blocked editors sock, who with a range of various issues, while they start lashing out against me who never did any of these things. It gives me a rather weird feeling.
- I don't like people who believe everything they hear either. WPPilot was constantly appealing to extenuating circumstances and was pleading for support and understanding instead of shifting the focus to his own behaviour, and tried to put the responsibility on others instead of learning from his mistakes and he was repeating them, the same ones, again and again. When he was pointed to them he responded with anger, he refused to address the problem and, instead, attacked the messenger - and voilá - some did even believed that too.
- And, if anyone any more comes here on this page, telling me that I constantly attacked that user, DON'T COME HERE WITHOUT ANY DIFFS AND EVIDENCE, THANK YOU. And find out first what is the difference between attacks and raising a problem for discussion. I have very little interest in this project any more, it just feels like a rotten place right now.

- Well said, Hpj—this is carefully constructed and elegantly composed.
Keep away until you are feeling that you are deprived by not contributing to this project! Ignore all entreaties to return until that transpires!

- Well said, Hpj—this is carefully constructed and elegantly composed.
- Also, there were many moments of: "I am sorry, I will not do this again" involved, showing remorse and just starting everything all over again. Many "I am sorry, please forgive me" - and then continuing exactly were it was left off. Nothing ever changed, it was then I started to demand changes instead of "I am sorry" -es. Hafspajen (talk) 16:48, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
Considered now
- Thank you Gareth Griffith-Jones, you are a real friend. I was now thinking enough. I think retiring for the right decision.
- I was upset enough, for this and that - but the main issue is still there. The fact that I was the one attacked by WPPilot, and there was plenty of incivility from his part, none from my side. Nobody said a word. And, and here comes the poor judgment of some users: if this wasn't enough, he was throwing the blame on me.
- For all the things he did, he made me look like I was the one commiting all those things. This is a dangerous and nefarious game, that was played, and I do not wish to be part of this any more. Some people understood this from the begining, but said nothing. Wrong, - as Montanabw once said, there is a time to speak and not to be silent. Some understood later, well, it's better late than never. Some didn't understood, and still don't, too bad. Pity that people believe words instead of facts, but I guess - it's their choice.

- I was travelling and had poor and sporadic internet access when whatever it was happened, so knew nothing about it. What I do know is that WPP is banished, which is vindication for you, and it would be a shame if the project were to lose as knowledgeable contributor as you.

Hafs, call yourself semi-retired, imo. I wiki-retired a few years ago over similar stuff, but I still come back occasionally to garden in the quiet corners. I hope you do the same. Zeng8r (talk) 13:47, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

| Haven't chatted with you for awhile, and was unaware of the difficulties you've been experiencing. Read through several of them this morning, and am very glad to see you hanging in there. You are one of the more knowledgeable editors I've met on this site. Keep it up. Onel5969 (talk) 16:41, 7 May 2015 (UTC) |

DYK for Summer Evening on Skagen's Southern Beach
| On 12 May 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Summer Evening on Skagen's Southern Beach, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Summer Evening on Skagen's Southern Beach (pictured) depicts the artist's wife and a painter on the beach during the blue hour? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Summer Evening on Skagen's Southern Beach. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

- Gerda, I believe the section in question was completely re-worded with this series of edits? Or was that not sufficient? SagaciousPhil - Chat 06:37, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
- I have no idea, don't know the article history intimately. You could speak with the reviewer in the nom, no? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gerda Arendt (talk • contribs)

Fox News censors Picasso painting
.jpg)
Fox decided to censor some cubist breasts. Slate decided to give the Fox treatment to other famous paintings. Most of the paintings are from Commons. Would be a nice addition to add the censored versions into commons. My favourites were The Garden of Earthly Delights being one big blur and Mark Rothko's Red Stripe.
