@ Gandydancer: I've just created my Archive 9. My reply to your last comment is there, at the end. May I suggest that you create an archive? It takes quite a while to get to the bottom of your talk page. Let me know if you need help or a reminder on how to do it. CorinneSD ( talk) 14:33, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
Regarding your writing, I hadn't noticed anything in particular. Your writing is fine. Anyway, people are usually not as careful when writing comments on talk pages as they are in articles. I really enjoy editing. I don't usually write much myself; I can when I need to, but for some reason I really enjoy improving other people's writing. I don't have much expertise in any field, just a great interest in a lot of subjects. I'm just so glad to have something to offer here on Wikipedia, and I'm glad to be able to contribute my skills. Your appreciation is much appreciated. CorinneSD ( talk) 15:06, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

@ Hafspajen: I saw your suggestion to nomination more of the paintings that you placed on my talk page in Archive 9, and I decided first to read the article on Claude Monet so that I would be more knowledgeable. I made a few minor copy-edits. I've also asked Rothorpe for his feedback on several minor issues of wording (you're welcome to read and weigh in there, at User talk:Rothorpe#Claude Monet).
I wanted to ask you about something in the article:
I noticed in the section Claude Monet#Fame that the painting Le bassin aux nymphéas, while spelled that way, is also spelled Le bassin aux nymphease two or three times after that. Before assuming that those were typographical errors and changing them to match the link, I thought I'd ask you just in case the title of the painting is really shown differently in different sources. What do you think?
Also, in the section Claude Monet#Death of Camille, the placement of the two paintings, one at the left and the other at the right, squeezes all the text into the space between (I have my screen magnified to 125%). I don't mind that, but it causes the block quote not to be indented more than the other paragraphs. I don't know if there is a way to indent it (aren't block quotes supposed to be indented just a bit more than surrounding paragraphs?). Just a thought. CorinneSD ( talk) 23:57, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
Le Bassin Aux Nymphéas it should be. Le bassin aux nymphease - is if I may use a classic on the subject - is not a word. Not in French, nor English. Hafspajen ( talk) 15:57, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
HELLO! I just got a new computer this afternoon. It's a little late in the evening, but I had to get back onto WP. I really missed editing and chatting with you all. It was so nice to read your messages (above). I'll get to work on the various articles tomorrow. I hope you are all well. CorinneSD ( talk) 02:37, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
It looked like you tried to slaughter it (removing the last ]] and placing it below, so the image broke) - it happeded like three times, so I thought you didn't like it. Hafspajen ( talk) 15:55, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

I'm returning to editing after a break of almost a month because my previous computer stopped working. I just got a new computer yesterday and am glad to be back on WP. I have a question for you:

@ Hafspajen: I took the two images of globes for reviewer and rollbacker off my talk page. I wanted to put them on my user page. I put them there, and made them small, but I'd like to place them either above or just below my user box, or even all the way at the top, on the same line as my user name, but at the far right. How can I do one of those? CorinneSD ( talk) 17:30, 17 October 2014 (UTC) Image misteries. See I put back image here like the third time. I will try to fix you images.

I just started using a new computer yesterday. Since then I've seen a few issues that I didn't have with my previous computer. See the section just above this for an exchange regarding one of the issues, that the initial pair of square brackets on images are separating from the actual name of the image file, even if I haven't gone near them (so the image disappears). I also notice this happens when I am in edit mode, even on my own user page. I click to insert a space after an image file, and, bingo, that image file ends up on a different line from the pair of initial square brackets (and they become highlighted in green rather than light salmon), and I can't bring them back together. I have to cancel what I was doing, get out of edit mode, and go back in in order to fix that. This never happened before.
The second issue is that when I go to the Ebola virus epidemic in West Africa article, my edits take a very long time, even inserting a comma. It's like it's all in very slow motion. I can edit other articles with no problem. What's going on? On my previous computer I used Google Chrome. The new computer had Internet Explorer installed, so I used that. I thought that might be the problem, so I installed Google Chrome, but the problem with the image files is still happening. (Haven't gone to the Ebola article yet.) Any help would be appreciated. CorinneSD ( talk) 19:32, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
I just went to the Ebola article. I tried to make a minor edit, but nothing happened when I put my cursor at a place and clicked or typed. Am I somehow being blocked from editing because of the semi-protected page status, and my status as an Autoconfirmed user is not being recognized? Can this be fixed? As you can see from Gandydancer's comments, above, my input into that article has been requested and appreciated. CorinneSD ( talk) 19:55, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
As you can see from Gandydancer's comments, above (in the middle of the Claude Monet section), my input into that article has been requested and appreciated.) Also, at the beginning of that section, you'll see an example of the problem with the brackets on an image file. CorinneSD ( talk) 19:59, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
@ Hafspajen: I'm in the process of removing some articles from my watch list. I was thinking that perhaps the problems I've been experiencing are because I have too many pages on my watch list. I came across an edit to Christen Dalsgaard. I don't remember what the edit was, but I saw a note to editors in the "Works" section at Christen Dalsgaard#Works saying "specify" after "National Museum of Art". I thought perhaps you could clear that up. CorinneSD ( talk) 21:25, 17 October 2014 (UTC) OK, specify. Hafspajen ( talk) 21:26, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for being back. Hafspajen ( talk) 21:44, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
@ Hafspajen: I see you've been doing some work on the article on Christen Dalsgaard. The images are wonderful. I just wonder whether "View at Sorø Akademi interior, 1871" is a tiny bit smaller than the other photos. If not, it just looks that way. If it were a bit larger, the caption would fit all on one line. CorinneSD ( talk) 00:15, 18 October 2014 (UTC) That is not the title either, it is called "corridor of Sorø Akademi, 1871" - but I am not sure of the spelling of the corridor... Hafspajen ( talk) 00:20, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
OK, fix caption. Could you please check Amedeo Modigliani#Jeanne Hébuterne - just added a lot of text, not sure is correct English, please? Hafspajen ( talk) 00:45, 18 October 2014 (UTC) Also I think some of it is in there twice. Hafspajen ( talk) 01:02, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
@ Hafspajen: I finally got to the Padovanino article. I made a few copy-edits to improve clarity. I have two questions. They are regarding two sentences in this passage:
1) My first question is about the first sentence: "By the year 1614 he had moved to Venice." As you'll see in the Revision History, I changed "moved" to "had moved". The past perfect tense of "had moved" is needed after "By..." (because "by" means at that time -- or in that year -- or before"). However, if you can determine that Padovanino had moved to Venice in 1614, then we can change it to, "In the year 1614 he moved to Venice," or "He moved to Venice in [the year] 1614," which is a little more direct and concise than "By...".
2) My second question is regarding the last sentence in the passage: "In 1625 he made another trip to Rome." In this one, you'll see that I changed "By 1625" to "In 1625". I kind of took a chance there. If it really is not certain that he made "another trip to Rome" in 1625, then this has to be changed back to "By 1625" (and the verb would have to be changed to "had made"). It just seemed a bit heavy (and vague) to have "By 1625" (because that means he had made another trip to Rome either in 1625 or before that). But you ought to check this. If he did indeed make a trip to Rome in 1625, then the sentence can remain as it is.
Any other articles you want me to look at? CorinneSD ( talk) 18:09, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
Yes please. Hafspajen ( talk) 23:17, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
@ Hafspajen: (This is my second ping. Look at end of previous section just above.)
I was looking for images of pottery and looked at the images in the article on Pottery. I clarified the date in the caption on one image (I got the information from the file after clicking on the image). Then I saw that another image had no date (I always like to see a date, if there is one, on images of art). I clicked on the image but could not find a date. It says "my own original work" -- does that mean that this person took the photo of the object or actually made the object? It looks quite old and is in a museum. Can you help me find a date for this object? It is
. CorinneSD ( talk) 23:06, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
Well, I am a bit lost here - because this kind of pottery is very much the same style throughout the centuries, maybe it would be best to contact the person who took the picture and ask. Look at the HISTORY of the file page and you will notice who that is. Hafspajen ( talk) 23:19, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
@ Hafspajen: Hafs, I just looked at my user page and saw that one image is missing. The caption is still there, though. It's "View of Mont-Gargan and sunset. Robert Antoine Pinchon. Bef. 1909." It was the tenth painting down from the top (after Lishuan Bridge). What happened? Was it removed from Commons, or is it somehow not loading?
NNoo, noo! I don't mind at all ! Hafspajen ( talk) 23:37, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

@
Hafspajen: I just thought I'd mention that now, when one saves an edit on your talk page, it takes a long time for the edit to finish saving. I think it's because your talk page is now pretty long. I know you probably like looking at all the images, but you might consider either archiving the entire thing or just trimming text and/or images so that it doesn't take so long to get to the bottom of the page and for edits to finish saving. If you archive the whole thing, you know that in a short time it will fill up with glorious new images; it will also give everyone a fresh new group of images to look at. If you wanted to save just the images for you and/or everyone to find easily, you could make a gallery of small images and place the gallery at the top of your talk page.

Since Sminthopsis84 has removed my comment from the existing discussion, I will address your concerns here. I remain concerned that you have not been equitable in your assessment, that I have been judged where Sminthopsis84 has not. For example, you described my initial comment as "peremptory" and related notable sympathy for Sminthopsis84 to feel it controlling, but bypassed how the same reasoning is even more applicable regarding Sminthopsis84's reversion. You offered allowance for Sminthopsis84 to have a "slightly heated response", but not I, whom you advised "not to take it personally" and to "Start a discussion. Stay calm." This is not an even-handed response, which I am concerned comes at the expense of reception to the point, which is that reverting by its nature contributes to a hostile editing ecosystem, as I referenced from the beginning, including driving away editors. While I appreciate that Sminthopsis84 has apparently taken offense at being confronted regarding a truly unwarranted reversion, ironically validating the point about editors wanting to leave WP when finding editing unpleasant, it is not wise to indulge a behavior (presumptive reversion) that itself exacerbates that systemic hostility, and I think my address of such behavior was quite tempered, if unwanted. Please note, by the way, that Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle is an essay, as is Wikipedia:Revert only when necessary. BRD presents rational advice for the editor looking to add to WP, but is no license to revert. For illustration, you can advise a person not to go to a bad part of town at night, but such advice is not justification for others to assault them if they happen to be there then. We will live with the consequences of our governance decisions whether or not we acknowledge them. In that vein, I am also concerned about the endorsement of classism in editors, that "This editor deserves more respect from you," in contradiction to not just a WP guideline but WP policy, as this is a standard that would make WP even less welcoming. And my point, from the beginning, has been about the ecosystem on WP, which, again, is a serious concern. ENeville ( talk) 18:08, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi CorrinneSD, would you be interested in participating in trying to promote Cucurbita to FA status? You have copyedited it, and it was previously GA, and I expect that your experience with featured pictures would be helpful. This is not something I would normally get involved with, having seen strips torn off editors when they have the cheek to try such a procedure, but I was asked by a friend to help, and immediately thought of you as a more qualified person. Perhaps if several of us work on it, the strip-off-tearing can be minimized. Sminthopsis84 ( talk) 15:42, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
It would appear that both versions are accurate. They did lie about the sale price and they were called on it. My take is that the problem was not holding back a portion, but deliberately giving the false impression that they had donated all of it. This is a note from the NAB: "The sin of Ananias and Sapphira did not consist in the withholding of part of the money but in their deception of the community. Their deaths are ascribed to a lie to the holy Spirit (⇒ Acts 5:3, 9), i.e., they accepted the honor accorded them by the community for their generosity, but in reality they were not deserving of it." Since the lie is more serious than an accusation (which may or may not be true), it appears that that is what caused their deaths, so I probably would not revert.

Second P.S. I just noticed that there are several "clarification needed" tags in this article. CorinneSD ( talk) 23:09, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
I expressed a number of concerns at Talk:Cucurbita#Questions about wording. HalfGig responded to them. On a few of them, s/he responded that I should go ahead and make the edits. On others, s/he said "Defer to Sminthopsis84", which is fine. However, before I make any changes in the article in response to HalfGig's go-ahead, I thought I'd wait and let you read my concerns and HalfGig's responses to them. When I know you've looked at them, then I'll go ahead and make necessary changes (and then of course you can review those, too, if you want). CorinneSD ( talk) 23:17, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Hafspajen I'm sorry, Hafs. I didn't mean to put you down. I'm trying to bring both ends to the middle, and bring Fylb around.
I never said you were stupid. In fact, I think you're brilliant, and regarding your writing, sometimes it's very good, and I actually enjoy reading (and figuring out) what you are saying. You make me laugh sometimes, like when you write "Holly molly". (The expression is "Holy moly".) I hope you'll erase those phrases from your talk page. They're out of context, and others may misunderstand my intent. I hope you know I was just trying to help.

Hafspajen Oh, my God -- Hafs! I just read your latest comment. I was trying to explain to Fylb the potential for misunderstandings without actually accusing Fylb of misunderstanding you. (I felt that if I actually accused Fylb of misunderstanding you, there would be no chance she would resume chatting with you.) Hafs, you're a wonderful, wonderful person -- so intelligent that I would call you brilliant, so knowledgeable, so generous with your knowledge and images. You have such exquisite taste in art. You're a great conversationalist. You really brighten my day, and I've learned so much from you. I appreciate so much the generous way you have helped and instructed me and shared images with me. I don't know why Fylb or anyone would not appreciate you. Really, you write quite well. It's uneven. Sometimes it's very good and sometimes it's full of errors, but I know even that is sometimes due to haste; I know you are often in a hurry. Please forgive me if I have hurt you in any way. I was only trying to make peace and repair a broken friendship. CorinneSD ( talk) 23:41, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Regarding your writing, I hadn't noticed anything in particular. Your writing is fine. Anyway, people are usually not as careful when writing comments on talk pages as they are in articles. I really enjoy editing. I don't usually write much myself; I can when I need to, but for some reason I really enjoy improving other people's writing. I don't have much expertise in any field, just a great interest in a lot of subjects. I'm just so glad to have something to offer here on Wikipedia, and I'm glad to be able to contribute my skills. Your appreciation is much appreciated. CorinneSD ( talk) 15:06, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

@ Hafspajen: I saw your suggestion to nomination more of the paintings that you placed on my talk page in Archive 9, and I decided first to read the article on Claude Monet so that I would be more knowledgeable. I made a few minor copy-edits. I've also asked Rothorpe for his feedback on several minor issues of wording (you're welcome to read and weigh in there, at User talk:Rothorpe#Claude Monet).
I wanted to ask you about something in the article:
I noticed in the section Claude Monet#Fame that the painting Le bassin aux nymphéas, while spelled that way, is also spelled Le bassin aux nymphease two or three times after that. Before assuming that those were typographical errors and changing them to match the link, I thought I'd ask you just in case the title of the painting is really shown differently in different sources. What do you think?
Also, in the section Claude Monet#Death of Camille, the placement of the two paintings, one at the left and the other at the right, squeezes all the text into the space between (I have my screen magnified to 125%). I don't mind that, but it causes the block quote not to be indented more than the other paragraphs. I don't know if there is a way to indent it (aren't block quotes supposed to be indented just a bit more than surrounding paragraphs?). Just a thought. CorinneSD ( talk) 23:57, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
Le Bassin Aux Nymphéas it should be. Le bassin aux nymphease - is if I may use a classic on the subject - is not a word. Not in French, nor English. Hafspajen ( talk) 15:57, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
HELLO! I just got a new computer this afternoon. It's a little late in the evening, but I had to get back onto WP. I really missed editing and chatting with you all.

I'm returning to editing after a break of almost a month because my previous computer stopped working. I just got a new computer yesterday and am glad to be back on WP. I have a question for you:

@ Hafspajen: I took the two images of globes for reviewer and rollbacker off my talk page. I wanted to put them on my user page.

I just started using a new computer yesterday. Since then I've seen a few issues that I didn't have with my previous computer. See the section just above this for an exchange regarding one of the issues, that the initial pair of square brackets on images are separating from the actual name of the image file, even if I haven't gone near them (so the image disappears). I also notice this happens when I am in edit mode, even on my own user page. I click to insert a space after an image file, and, bingo, that image file ends up on a different line from the pair of initial square brackets (and they become highlighted in green rather than light salmon), and I can't bring them back together. I have to cancel what I was doing, get out of edit mode, and go back in in order to fix that. This never happened before.
The second issue is that when I go to the Ebola virus epidemic in West Africa article, my edits take a very long time, even inserting a comma. It's like it's all in very slow motion. I can edit other articles with no problem. What's going on? On my previous computer I used Google Chrome. The new computer had Internet Explorer installed, so I used that. I thought that might be the problem, so I installed Google Chrome, but the problem with the image files is still happening. (Haven't gone to the Ebola article yet.) Any help would be appreciated. CorinneSD ( talk) 19:32, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
I just went to the Ebola article. I tried to make a minor edit, but nothing happened when I put my cursor at a place and clicked or typed. Am I somehow being blocked from editing because of the semi-protected page status, and my status as an Autoconfirmed user is not being recognized? Can this be fixed? As you can see from Gandydancer's comments, above, my input into that article has been requested and appreciated. CorinneSD ( talk) 19:55, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
As you can see from Gandydancer's comments, above (in the middle of the Claude Monet section), my input into that article has been requested and appreciated.) Also, at the beginning of that section, you'll see an example of the problem with the brackets on an image file. CorinneSD ( talk) 19:59, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
@ Hafspajen: I'm in the process of removing some articles from my watch list. I was thinking that perhaps the problems I've been experiencing are because I have too many pages on my watch list. I came across an edit to Christen Dalsgaard. I don't remember what the edit was, but I saw a note to editors in the "Works" section at Christen Dalsgaard#Works saying "specify" after "National Museum of Art". I thought perhaps you could clear that up. CorinneSD ( talk) 21:25, 17 October 2014 (UTC) OK, specify. Hafspajen ( talk) 21:26, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for being back. Hafspajen ( talk) 21:44, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
@ Hafspajen: I see you've been doing some work on the article on Christen Dalsgaard. The images are wonderful. I just wonder whether "View at Sorø Akademi interior, 1871" is a tiny bit smaller than the other photos. If not, it just looks that way. If it were a bit larger, the caption would fit all on one line. CorinneSD ( talk) 00:15, 18 October 2014 (UTC) That is not the title either, it is called "corridor of Sorø Akademi, 1871" - but I am not sure of the spelling of the corridor... Hafspajen ( talk) 00:20, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
OK, fix caption. Could you please check Amedeo Modigliani#Jeanne Hébuterne - just added a lot of text, not sure is correct English, please? Hafspajen ( talk) 00:45, 18 October 2014 (UTC) Also I think some of it is in there twice. Hafspajen ( talk) 01:02, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
@ Hafspajen: I finally got to the Padovanino article. I made a few copy-edits to improve clarity. I have two questions. They are regarding two sentences in this passage:
1) My first question is about the first sentence: "By the year 1614 he had moved to Venice." As you'll see in the Revision History, I changed "moved" to "had moved". The past perfect tense of "had moved" is needed after "By..." (because "by" means at that time -- or in that year -- or before"). However, if you can determine that Padovanino had moved to Venice in 1614, then we can change it to, "In the year 1614 he moved to Venice," or "He moved to Venice in [the year] 1614," which is a little more direct and concise than "By...".
2) My second question is regarding the last sentence in the passage: "In 1625 he made another trip to Rome." In this one, you'll see that I changed "By 1625" to "In 1625". I kind of took a chance there. If it really is not certain that he made "another trip to Rome" in 1625, then this has to be changed back to "By 1625" (and the verb would have to be changed to "had made"). It just seemed a bit heavy (and vague) to have "By 1625" (because that means he had made another trip to Rome either in 1625 or before that). But you ought to check this. If he did indeed make a trip to Rome in 1625, then the sentence can remain as it is.
Any other articles you want me to look at? CorinneSD ( talk) 18:09, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

@ Hafspajen: (This is my second ping. Look at end of previous section just above.)
I was looking for images of pottery and looked at the images in the article on Pottery. I clarified the date in the caption on one image (I got the information from the file after clicking on the image). Then I saw that another image had no date (I always like to see a date, if there is one, on images of art). I clicked on the image but could not find a date. It says "my own original work" -- does that mean that this person took the photo of the object or actually made the object? It looks quite old and is in a museum. Can you help me find a date for this object? It is
. CorinneSD ( talk) 23:06, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
Well, I am a bit lost here - because this kind of pottery is very much the same style throughout the centuries, maybe it would be best to contact the person who took the picture and ask. Look at the HISTORY of the file page and you will notice who that is. Hafspajen ( talk) 23:19, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
@ Hafspajen: Hafs, I just looked at my user page and saw that one image is missing. The caption is still there, though. It's "View of Mont-Gargan and sunset. Robert Antoine Pinchon. Bef. 1909." It was the tenth painting down from the top (after Lishuan Bridge). What happened? Was it removed from Commons, or is it somehow not loading?

@
Hafspajen: I just thought I'd mention that now, when one saves an edit on your talk page, it takes a long time for the edit to finish saving. I think it's because your talk page is now pretty long. I know you probably like looking at all the images, but you might consider either archiving the entire thing or just trimming text and/or images so that it doesn't take so long to get to the bottom of the page and for edits to finish saving. If you archive the whole thing, you know that in a short time it will fill up with glorious new images; it will also give everyone a fresh new group of images to look at. If you wanted to save just the images for you and/or everyone to find easily, you could make a gallery of small images and place the gallery at the top of your talk page.

Since Sminthopsis84 has removed my comment from the existing discussion, I will address your concerns here. I remain concerned that you have not been equitable in your assessment, that I have been judged where Sminthopsis84 has not. For example, you described my initial comment as "peremptory" and related notable sympathy for Sminthopsis84 to feel it controlling, but bypassed how the same reasoning is even more applicable regarding Sminthopsis84's reversion. You offered allowance for Sminthopsis84 to have a "slightly heated response", but not I, whom you advised "not to take it personally" and to "Start a discussion. Stay calm." This is not an even-handed response, which I am concerned comes at the expense of reception to the point, which is that reverting by its nature contributes to a hostile editing ecosystem, as I referenced from the beginning, including driving away editors. While I appreciate that Sminthopsis84 has apparently taken offense at being confronted regarding a truly unwarranted reversion, ironically validating the point about editors wanting to leave WP when finding editing unpleasant, it is not wise to indulge a behavior (presumptive reversion) that itself exacerbates that systemic hostility, and I think my address of such behavior was quite tempered, if unwanted. Please note, by the way, that Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle is an essay, as is Wikipedia:Revert only when necessary. BRD presents rational advice for the editor looking to add to WP, but is no license to revert. For illustration, you can advise a person not to go to a bad part of town at night, but such advice is not justification for others to assault them if they happen to be there then. We will live with the consequences of our governance decisions whether or not we acknowledge them. In that vein, I am also concerned about the endorsement of classism in editors, that "This editor deserves more respect from you," in contradiction to not just a WP guideline but WP policy, as this is a standard that would make WP even less welcoming. And my point, from the beginning, has been about the ecosystem on WP, which, again, is a serious concern. ENeville ( talk) 18:08, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi CorrinneSD, would you be interested in participating in trying to promote Cucurbita to FA status? You have copyedited it, and it was previously GA, and I expect that your experience with featured pictures would be helpful. This is not something I would normally get involved with, having seen strips torn off editors when they have the cheek to try such a procedure, but I was asked by a friend to help, and immediately thought of you as a more qualified person. Perhaps if several of us work on it, the strip-off-tearing can be minimized. Sminthopsis84 ( talk) 15:42, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
It would appear that both versions are accurate. They did lie about the sale price and they were called on it. My take is that the problem was not holding back a portion, but deliberately giving the false impression that they had donated all of it. This is a note from the NAB: "The sin of Ananias and Sapphira did not consist in the withholding of part of the money but in their deception of the community. Their deaths are ascribed to a lie to the holy Spirit (⇒ Acts 5:3, 9), i.e., they accepted the honor accorded them by the community for their generosity, but in reality they were not deserving of it." Since the lie is more serious than an accusation (which may or may not be true), it appears that that is what caused their deaths, so I probably would not revert.

I expressed a number of concerns at Talk:Cucurbita#Questions about wording. HalfGig responded to them. On a few of them, s/he responded that I should go ahead and make the edits. On others, s/he said "Defer to Sminthopsis84", which is fine. However, before I make any changes in the article in response to HalfGig's go-ahead, I thought I'd wait and let you read my concerns and HalfGig's responses to them. When I know you've looked at them, then I'll go ahead and make necessary changes (and then of course you can review those, too, if you want). CorinneSD ( talk) 23:17, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
@ HalfGig: Is this all right with you? Or should I just go ahead and make the changes? I don't want to offend you. CorinneSD ( talk) 23:28, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
Thank you, that was very kind of you. I may end up making my mind about translating some of the Spanish articles, it's just I think it would be a lot of work for you (or the other editors), but it was a very very kind offer. Thank you. -- RoRo ( talk) 23:50, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
Hafspajen I'm sorry, Hafs. I didn't mean to put you down. I'm trying to bring both ends to the middle, and bring Fylb around.
I never said you were stupid. In fact, I think you're brilliant, and regarding your writing, sometimes it's very good, and I actually enjoy reading (and figuring out) what you are saying. You make me laugh sometimes, like when you write "Holly molly". (The expression is "Holy moly".) I hope you'll erase those phrases from your talk page. They're out of context, and others may misunderstand my intent. I hope you know I was just trying to help.

Hafspajen Oh, my God -- Hafs! I just read your latest comment. I was trying to explain to Fylb the potential for misunderstandings without actually accusing Fylb of misunderstanding you. (I felt that if I actually accused Fylb of misunderstanding you, there would be no chance she would resume chatting with you.) Hafs, you're a wonderful, wonderful person -- so intelligent that I would call you brilliant, so knowledgeable, so generous with your knowledge and images. You have such exquisite taste in art. You're a great conversationalist. You really brighten my day, and I've learned so much from you. I appreciate so much the generous way you have helped and instructed me and shared images with me. I don't know why Fylb or anyone would not appreciate you. Really, you write quite well. It's uneven. Sometimes it's very good and sometimes it's full of errors, but I know even that is sometimes due to haste; I know you are often in a hurry. Please forgive me if I have hurt you in any way. I was only trying to make peace and repair a broken friendship. CorinneSD ( talk) 23:41, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
