Morning Hafspajen (or is it Warrington - I'm not sure?),
I see you are still busily working on the Poodle article! It doesn't look as if we are going to get a response from the editor(s) who were determined to have a different version included, which was what I was hoping from the RfC. What about swapping the pic in the info box for something more appropriate? Perhaps the black in the Scandinavian clip? You know a lot more about Poodles than I do, so I'll leave sorting this one out to you - I might see if I can get some 'stacked' photos of Poodles next weekend as I will be at a show. I'm still busy trying to sort out the English Setter article at the moment! SagaciousPhil - Chat 09:25, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

I have uploaded some pics of a male and female Komondor to commons - not very good pics, I'm afraid! The dogs are only one year old so do not have mature coats yet but they certainly are huge dogs.

I am very impressed with the article! I have adjusted the references, so please have a look to make sure I have got them right - change them quickly if I've done it incorrectly. This is interesting, see page 35. They are called 'Wally dugs' in Scotland and were often a feature on mantelpieces in Glasgow tenements apparently. The designer that collection is about has an article Enid Marx, so maybe it could be tied in somehow?. I've not managed to find any Commons pics of an ornament to use yet - I like the art you have used though as I do like good paintings! I'll see if I can find more later.

Hi Hafspajen, I've tried looking at the OEB article - you've done a lot of work on it and the pics look good! I've had to remove the refs to dogbreedinfo.com as it's a site we take out of dog breed articles as soon as we see them because it's not a reliable source. The article has been a bit of a battleground for quite some time and it looks like a comment was blanked from the talk page but not by the editor who put the comment on; and someone blanked the merging of the Dorset Olde Tyme Bulldogge from the article as well.

Your work looks different everywhere! BTW, I increased the size (height) of the gingerbread molds so that they appear bigger compared to the others. The heights were set the same, but since the widths of the molds was narrower, the overall pix were smaller (and even "appeared" shorter). Here's an exercise for you to get an idea of what happens when you change one of your settings. I'm on a MacBook Pro notebook, and this will all look different if you are on a different machine. Get out of fullscreen so that you can change the width of the browser window manually. Look at the galleries and change the width in and out. See how the galleries jump around. Well there are an esesentially infinite number of people on a very large number of different types of computers with maybe a dozen different settings each that they can set. Somebody will be viewing the article as you saw it at each step of the in-and-out exercise. Now change the zoom setting to 125% from 100% .... Hope this helps All of this relative display stuff is a built-in design choice of the wiki software, and to a large extent to HTML in general. Smallbones( smalltalk) 16:17, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. ...and so on.
Dear Hafspajen,
I haven't been up to logging on to Wiki in the longest time, and I can't tell you how much your not one, but two kind notes mean to me!
I am afraid I'm not au fait with graphics to send or make up a proper e-card / e-note, but the sentiment remains just as sincere in my wishes for you and yours to have a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2014!
With kind regards,
And every good wish,

Hi, Hafspajen. I'm wondering why you came to the decision that the Mrs Sarah Siddons - WGA8419.jpg at 124 KB is a better pic than Thomas Gainsborough 015.jpg 189 KB. For the sake of 65 KB, the image file used earlier is actually a better reproduction and is larger and more detailed at full resolution. The image you've replaced it with has basically only had the contrast lifted, brightening bolder colours which aren't prominent in the actual original, and has lost softer detail characteristic of Gainsborough's Rococo-influenced style.
If you're keen on your replacement, I'm fine with keeping it... but it isn't actually an improvement. Cheers! -- Iryna Harpy ( talk) 03:00, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

National Airlines used to have this beautiful poster that they displayed of this gorgeous stewardess inviting you onto the plane. Now her name wasn't Mandy actually, it was something like, er, oh gosh knows, "I'm Cindy", a very American name. "I'm Cindy, fly me" which was a quite sexual connotation as well, but I remember seeing in Manchester this beautiful poster and just below it was this tramp, I mean a serious tramp, quite a raggedy guy, looking up at this girl, and I thought God, do you know, there's a song there. Look at that guy looking up at Cindy-fly-me ...
So I brought it back, the idea back to the studio, where we were writing for the How Dare You! album, and put it to the guys: "Anybody interested in this 'I'm Mandy Fly Me'". I'd switched it to Mandy. And Graham said "yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Hafspajen ( talk) 10:28, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

♥ Hafs, I am really sorry to read about the problems you're having over at the Swedish Wikipedia but to get the gist of what's going on I'm having to run it through Google Translate and it is making it just sooooo funny! A couple of examples of the Google translation from the ANI discussion: "Without being fully loaded on the matter ..."
and "... in the midst of an infected discussion."
Did the good Drmies infect them with something??
I've not been able to get any work done this morning because of giggling about this - but it does let you see why Google translations should never be used. ♥

Hi. I saw your edits at the Tadao Ando article and comments on the article's talk page. I see you are an experienced Wikipedia editor, but I wonder if you knew that you can change the size at which thumbnail images are displayed in your browser by going to "Preferences" -> "Appearance" -> "Files". That allows you to specify the size at which thumbnails in Wikipedia articles are displayed on your own computer setup without forcing everyone else to use the same size just because it happens to look good on your computer screen. As mentioned in the guidelines at WP:ImageSize, forcing a "larger" image size actually makes it smaller for those readers who have a larger size set as preference. Anyway, I added a comment about this on Talk:Tadao Ando, so I hope you can have a look at the manual of style guidelines. -- DAJF ( talk) 00:30, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

The thing I am most angry about is the false accusation that the refs were bare URLs and that the editor making the accusations has not even apologised to Hafspajen - they only chose to apologise to BlueMoonset.

Hi Hafs, just a note for future reference. If you should happen to find an editor claiming to be very young, it's not a good idea to rush to an admin's talkpage and say publicly "hi, I found a seven-year-old editor, and the article they are editing is (link)!" This is because very young editors sometimes attract strange responses, some of which are not good. And admins' talk pages tend to be quite widely watched by some quite strange people, especially if they wear T-shirts a size too small.
Instead, a much better idea is to email the admin for advice instead.
Another really good place not to mention such things (or any other excess of personal information) is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents, for approximately the same reasons.
(Of course, in this case it doesn't matter, because it seems the editor isn't in fact very young anyway, but in other cases it might matter.) -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 12:23, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I am the webmaster for the JCCA -- the Japanese Chin Club of America (you may email me at the address provided at the bottom of http://www.japanesechinclub.org for verification) which is the parent club for the Japanese Chin at the AKC. The information (history) provided was placed up with authorization of the (at the time current) board of directors for the JCCA (Sari is our historian and member and provided the history for club use). I guess I need to learn how to properly quote reference this material in whole (I'm not a book author, but a simple webmaster and JCCA member). If you can provide details or help quote it for me, that would be appreciated.
As for the images, I'm working to knock down the amount of "personal" images posted to this site in an effort to only show a) the differences in Chin and b) the representations of a Chin. The including of a "gallery" will open a Pandora's box that should not offer an open door for any owner to think they can just post any picture and have Wiki host it. -- Proximo128 ( talk) 16:48, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

Sorry about the issues with the Leavitt Bulldog page, but I've attempted to do just as you said. I've left references on the Talk page showing that the text the other person keeps reverting is false. I've even tried to refer them over to the Talk page in the desciption of my edits and asked for them to provide similar references for the version of the text they place, but it hasn't done any good. Seeing as I have provided references (quotes attributed to David Leavitt from a website maintained by his own organization) for the version of text I am proposing, what would you suggest I do here? They are suggesting that it was not a "portion" of the breed that the name-change applied to, but that is also obviously false as the breed has been accepted by the United Kennel Club under the OEB name by those breeders who were against the change.

Hello Thanks for the invite but i have more than enough of all these debates going nowhere. I do not see a positive thing in a other useless debate about head shapes. First it was the notability after established that it was to personal and I was given a Wikipedia: Conflict of interest . Also I was accused of using wiki for selling puppies. But most important all wonderful work done by Sminthopsis84 is being destroyed by one person. And some just allowed it to happen and a 2 months of critical work by Sminthopsis84 is deleted by a one minute press on the undo button action. I wrote a little text and I will leave it at that. /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#Leavitt_Bulldog_discussion We have been around a view times debating on the article but always with a lot of respect and there was always the intention to help from you guys I respect you guys for that.

She had a point about David leavitt his statement on the page of Titikio.
But there was a lot more to it.
Back then was a year that the Old English Bulldog page was changed a lot( i think you guys name it a wikiwar ) and often with wrong information.
The leavitt bulldog page was still not running or better was deleted a couple of times.
David Leavitt looked for a way to inform the people correctly and posted up the link a view times but because Titikio kept deleting it David Leavitt left a note on his page.
But like I wrote this afternoon we indeed share the same old bloodlines but after 10 years we have more separate blood lines than just having the Old English bulldog to work with we have crossed more new lines the last 10 years.
We breed more and with a bigger breeders group 20 breeders and now we have a different look or like they say appearance which i think established already before with the diagrams.
Also his mention of being in the same show ring with OEB’S is true but there is also more to it we have not only the OEBKC dogs but also the Renascence bulldogs ,Alternative Bulldogs and all other Bulldog mixes in the same ring.
This was because the breed was not recognized and all show hosts end up putting all OEB or OEB mixes in the same show ring.
All over the world you can breed a dog like poodle to an OEB and still it is called OEB.
So that is where David Leavitt cry for help came from why else start with 3 x please??
But like i said I'm all for not work on each other’s page :-)

Hello, I understand your concern regarding the term in the article. However, while irony is often misunderstood, it is not within the scope of this article to explain that specifically. By that logic, we should modify every article that uses often misunderstood terms. Such an explanation is far too involved, and is simply jarring for readers. The purpose of the header section is not to address all possible misinterpretations of the content, but to provide a general look at the subject of the article. You should read WP:LEAD, the most relevant section in this situation is, I think "Apart from trivial basic facts, significant information should not appear in the lead if it is not covered in the remainder of the article."

Hafspajen, with regards to galleries, there is a trend, among people who are not very interested in art, to remove them altogether. The reason is that there is a link to the atist's collection on Wikimedia Commons. However, I believe that showing works by the artist is a good idea, because that is what they are famous for.
But your collection of images was made up mainly of details, not the masterpieces for which the artist is famous, but just little bits of them. Out of your twenty images, only four showed complete paintings, and there were "last Supper" details all over the place with little indication which image they came from.
If you are going to make galleries, then every image that you put into it has to have a rationale. Two images showing the same horses' head and three images of different sizes showing the same apostles is very hard to justify, when they can all be found on Commons.
I agree that the article needed work. I have put some of the greatest commissions into galleries. Putting together galleries that look good, serve a purpose and are not going to get deleted takes a lot of work. Jamming together every picture that appeals to you, is not a good way to go. You need to choose high quality images that sit well together. Then you need to arrange them as if you were hanging works in a real gallery.
The person who deleted the gallery from Michelangelo was Johnbod. The reason that he did it was perfectly clear. It was a muddle of stuff, put together without apparent thought, and with Michelangelo's earliest work last in the series of images. If you have a look at the article on Michelangelo now, you will find that it has a gallery integrate with the text.
The portrait of the old man with the growth on his nose is Ghirlandaio's most popular portrait, because of the tender expressions of the man and the child. I am an older person, and I have had fairly extensive surgery on my nose for skin cancer. Like that old man, my grandchildren love me, despite the scars on my face. I suppose that you are either very young or very beautiful, to have made such a thoughtless comment.

It's still essentially a draft, but I can polish it later if need be. Meanwhile, you can hit the edit button, copy the text and paste it into Hans Baluschek. Feel free to edit the text or resize (or add & subtract) pics as you see fit.
I managed to trim it by about a third, from 4,700 to 3,000 words, but it's still lengthy and perhaps too detailed. The style in German was complex and at times confusing; I left out some of the more abstruse passages and references to things only Germans would understand.
I'm not sure why the "external links" ended up the way they did, but perhaps they'll change automatically when it's part of the English Baluschek article — ??

Hi Hafspajen, I liked your improvements to the page about Nuns. However, I have replaced the photo of the nun on a motor-bike for a couple of reasons. !. It's my picture and it's been on the page for a long time. 2. Wikipedia readers need to see something which is not just a 1940s stereotype of a nun from a bygone age: nuns are active now and need to be seen in the light of liberated active, dynamic women of the 21st century. There are plenty of other photos on the page of the traditional nun of yester-year. I do like the photo you posted - I hope you cane find another part of the page to put it.

All but one of the biographies have now been deleted as non-notable; initially he posted them in Swedish, then what appears to be a Google or other machine translation was added, very bad partly because of all the abbreviations. Some of them may be notable, and I feel bad about how the editor must feel, so I'd be grateful if you can either establish whether any of them are worth undeleting or help me explain how we work here so he doesn't feel so bad (and maybe there are other things he can help us by writing up - at this point we have a longer article on the parish than the Swedes do, and at least one other person has added additional references and otherwise improved it). I think he's Swedish, and as you know I just fake being able to read Swedish, not to mention being not a church person. I'd be grateful if you can help in any way.

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimm'd:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to Time thou grow'st.
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Hello, we previously had some discussions about toy galleries, at Talk:Teddy bear and Talk:Toy, which inspired me to create a gallery at Dollhouse#Gallery. You can also see there what I mean about having encyclopedic information about the contents of the images. I hope you like it! By the way, I don't know if you noticed already, but if you're interested in creating toy galleries, many of the articles in Category:Traditional toys and subcategories have plenty of free images available that would make for good galleries without copyright troubles.

If an editor has previously posted their own personal information but later redacted it, it should not be repeated on Wikipedia; if the previously posted information has been removed by oversight, then repeating it on Wikipedia is considered outing.

I see you saw fit to remove a photograph I posted on the West Highland White Terrier page showing three sisters taking their three pet terriers for a walk. I came across them by chance over two years ago when I happened to pass through their village (what are the chances of ever coming across that combination again?). I won't go into the details, but it took several attempts and almost two years to track them down to ask their permission to use this photograph on Wikipedia. I thought it added a welcome human touch to the page. Now it is back to featuring only dog portraits. How many of those does one need? Anyway, the good thing is that I've learnt never to put myself to the same trouble again in the misguided notion of enhancing the look of a Wikipedia page. Kim Traynor | Talk 21:12, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

OK. I'm not hopeful that many will respond, but I do appreciate your gesture. (Just for info: it took about three or four phone calls and personal inquiries to a village Post Office and shop, then questioning several people on streets and in a hotel pub, plus two abortive searches for their parental home to find these girls. Believe it or not, I discovered their whereabouts purely by chance from someone in another village miles away from their own who happened to recognise the family from my description of the photo subject. Others may not share my opinion, but I still think it's a fairly remarkable photograph because of the two line-ups involved.) Kim Traynor | Talk 00:41, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi Sir,
Carbolic acid does not contain chlorine, and thus it is not chloric; it is merely a benzene ring with an alcohol group bounded to it. I meant to write the word choleric and noticed the typo yesterday. The word choleric CAN refer to a person who is bad tempered or peevish, but also to an irritable substance. I will use the word "caustic" instead of "choleric" because its meaning is perhaps more apropos from your viewpoint.
As I've already mentioned, choleric can refer to temperament but also to anything irritable; would it be malapropos to say that is a substance is irritable? However you look at it, cabolic acid certainly is NOT chloric; it does not contain chlorine. Thank you for leaving the word "caustic" unedited, however.
Thank you for your cordiality.— Preceding unsigned comment added by IP ( talk • contribs)

Hafspajen, I don't know what to make of this. You're referring to the Coat, of course--but I don't see much in the way of harassment there, just a comment: they're not even opposing. As I said before, this isn't something that an admin can do anything about. If there truly is a problem and it needs addressing, it will have to be done by editors, by conversation, by consensus. And those editors should be people who are well acquainted with the FP process, obviously. Sorry. Drmies ( talk) 02:26, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
Digital manipulation for the purpose of correcting flaws in an image is generally acceptable, provided it is limited, well-done, and not intended to deceive. - For historic images, acceptable manipulations might include digitally fixing rips, removal of stains, cleanup of dirt, and, for mass-produced artworks such as engravings, removal of flaws inherent to the particular reproduction, such as over-inking. Careful colour adjustments may be used to bring out the original work from the signs of ageing, (EXACLY WHAT Dcoetzee DID) though care should be taken to restore a natural appearance.
I agree that I can't tell if the figures on the pedestal of Andrea del Sarto's painting are harpies, but they were interpreted as such and thus gave rise, in English, to the name of the painting. Rococo1700 ( talk) 16:02, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

That peace rose looks very similar to the one in my sister's garden — same variety? I see from Rosa Peace that it was propagated in the U.S. (and elsewhere outside Nazi Europe) during WWII. Interesting history....
Do you not yet see or understand?
Yes, Drmies; you are right, and they did won. I am not going to edit Wikipedia like this. - I am leaving Wikipedia - because there is obviously no help to get.
You are one of those tough guys who can manage to take as much shit that I am sometimes surprized of it - even if you put that terrible picture on you userpage - by Artemisia Gentileschi - you are managing very well. I am not like you.
I was trying to convince you that this user Coat of Many Colours:
And yes I feel both bad and I an upset - right. He defeated me in front off all those people and made fun of me - on the one field where I am really an expert - and I am really an expert and I do know what I am talking about when it comes to art - while everybody is just watching silently and keeping quiet- - and he is obviously incivil, disruptive and unpleasant and nobody cares.
Just imagine the same thing happening to you imagine some guy coming around and making fun of you, Drmies, and destroying everything for you on some linguistic project where you really know what it is all about - but the bullying guy is using fine terms and convinvcing everyone and everything that you are the person who doesn't get it - not him - and the things you say are not true - and doing this to you repeatedly? And is making every move you do into a circus, following you arround everywhere, reverting even your withdrawn nomination... And goes on doing this under a long time - interfearing with you in the most uncivilized way - and all your friends whom you trusted and loved just don't move a finger for you.
I grow up in a home with artists (half of the family are artist while the other half physicians), I went to art school for 4 years, studied drawing and painting extra two years private, and studied yet art history two years. Plus I have the landscape architect exam - my profession - that is also about - in a way - visual arts, composition, colours and also space. Have you counted how many FP pictures I succeded to nominate - in a relatively short period? 15 - right - or maybe 16 - is this because I don't have a clue?
He who has ears let him hear he who has eyes let him see. Thanks anyway to Fylbecatulous, Demiurge1000 and CorinneSD - who at least tried to stop this insanity while others only were watching or made some helpful comment in the middle of this conceptual fireworks display of violations of all Wikipedia interaction norms. Yes, we have gudelines, we have policies - a nice decoration that sounds good - but while others can count on me - I can obviously not count on them. Hafspajen ( talk) 04:08, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

I can recognize the signs... Horse droppings are not figs — do not be fooled by appearances. And Drmies, don't tell he knows about art, because he doesn't. One can change writing patterns by copying sentences - and one can read books of art - and this is the kind of comments someone would make who doesn't know much art but has a big mouth and have read two or three art books - about - Mary Cassatt, for example.
Now look what he is doing - vigourously - on Adam's van Gogh nomination, he realized it was me and Adam who were worked out that one. Now he won't let out of that one out of his hands to easily - he won't miss the chance of trouble it up...
No, I will not come back to participate in the same way as I did before, not like this. Only when this problem will be solved - as above or when he finally gets banned from editing WP:FP for his equally own merits for disruptive editing, harrasment and uncivility. He is not doing any good to that project, it is just a lot of disturbance and not one good point. At least if he would have SOMETHING intelligent to say - but it is just empty - air - plus a lot of words and lots of provocations - and a lot of trouble for everyone who tries to respond to it - because really there are no valid points and nothing intelligent to argue against.

Hello Hafspajen. I decided to write you because of your status as a long time editor. I am writing concerning your undoing an edit (that itself was an undo) I made on the Rene Lalique page. A person created an entirely new section called Public Collections as well as at the same time or near that time, other related external links were placed elsewhere on the page. In the new section, they then listed 4 or 5 “museums” some linked to wiki pages about that museum, some to the museum, some without links. I undid their entire edit in good faith. I had three issues with the major edit:
1. The first so called museum on the list is a dealer’s related museum that is part of a cross linked sales effort by a dealer. The so called museum shares a mailing address, a phone number and website IP address with the dealer. The two sites, the dealer sales site and the “museum” site are cross linked to each other. The people involved buy and sell Lalique and send out emails and inquiries for buying and selling using their various museum titles. I believe this “museum” is of zero value to the wiki project. I recently removed several spam links related to that dealer and museum that were put in at the same time on the Rene Lalique page which you can see from the history. The inclusion of that so called museum makes the entire section appear to me as vandalism, and even more so being shortly after the insertion and removal of the spam links to that dealer and museum. I can’t imagine that any serious person would include that “museum” on a list of museums that might be of value to the wiki project.
2. I have a good faith belief that the person putting up the new section I reverted has a COI (not related to the dealer museum information as far as I know)
However even if this is not the case, it would have still been my decision to undo the new section based on the first “museum” on the list and the following 3rd issue.
3. Note the newly placed external links to the Rijksmuseum (this museum is also in the newly created section) and the V & A museum in the reference section. I believe these external links are spam, are out of place in the reference section as nothing in the article is validated by a citation to the information on those lines, let alone external links (the links are to picture pages), and these may also be COI. I thought I was deleting those also as part of the undo that you reversed.
In short, I believe that the newly created section is spam, vandalism, and possibly a COI as well, in addition to not adding anything substantive to the page. And that doesn’t account for the negative impact of the sales linked “museum” appearing on the page as part of this new section quickly after I deleted the previous spam entries. The other external links to picture pages at two museums (one of which is also in the new section) added as references are not references at all, are link spam and may be COI as well.
That is why I reverted the entry. I assume you could not know all of what I have written when you undid my edit to remove these things.
Respectfully, Patagoniaddd ( talk) 20:35, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
Hello. Thank you for the reply.
How about this: I will remove the spam references and the new section. I will add a sentence to the main listing saying that the works of Rene Lalique are in the collections of a large number of public institutions around the world including ….. and I will mention half a dozen serious museums as examples……. the Gulbenkian, the Rijksmuseum, the Musee Lalique and the Musee des art decoratif in France, the New York Metropolitan Museum, and the Corning Museum. This will leave the Rijksmuseum on the page. I got these names from the ongoing compilation of museums holding the works of Rene Lalique that is taking place at rlalique.com at this page: rlalique.com/rlalique/lalique-museum.php.
Would this be reasonable both from a common sense standpoint, cleaning up the issues, and also be of value to readers of the page?

Paul Gauguin is well known for his representations of tropical scenes, mostly including naked young women. He traveled to many different paradise islands in his time and with so many different sights to inspire him, it is no surprise that the majority of his artwork stems from these visits. The one pictured here is titled 'Aha oe Feii' and features two native ladies who are enjoying the heat of the day and relaxing next to a nearby tree. Painted with the characteristic muted and earthy colours, this art print by Gauguin would work wonders to transport you to a relaxing, tropical island whenever you need it.
This painting belongs to the stage of Tahitian Gauguin. The painter, who moved to the South Seas, had started painting with exotic content. He depicted especially women who are portrayed nude - chaste and pure nudity-. He intended to show the islands of the Pacific Ocean as a little corner of paradise where people live ain peaceful harmony between human and nature. this concept remains a mystery. Gauguin came from the world of Western Europe, much more complex and filled with selfish social and political and economic interests. Gauguin discovered there a different life. A life more simple and pure, simple but very obvious, made of genuine things, pervaded by a spirituality.
In this painting depicts two women, one sitting and the other outstretched on the beach. The subject is described by the painter in his book "Noa Noa":
two sisters on the beach that had just taken a bath, lay in random voluptuous attitudes, talk about a love of the past and of the future projects of love. A reminder of the divide: "What! Are you jealous? "
As usual in the paintings of Gauguin, the title of the work is written on the canvas, in this case in the lower left. It is written in Tahitian and its exotic sound serves to give more charm to the picture, a phrase actually uttered by the two women, to give more specific content to the framework.
If it was not for this phrase in the corner of the painting, the depiction could be mistaken for a pure decorative symphony of colours, searching only for the formal beauty of their bodies. But Gauguin meant a different stament with this picture. It has different meaning: the complicity of all women in the dialogue about the deepest, timeless mystery of life: love. The eternal feeling of love and searching about its meaning.
The picture with its decorative characteris more a two-dimensional image than a three dimensional.
Gauguin was very fond of this picture, so that in a letter to a friend he wrote: "I've been doing lately a naked heart, two women on the beach, I think it's also my best so far."
The painting was later bought by the Russian collector Sukin and like all the rest of his collection was nationalized by the Soviet state immediately after the October Revolution. Today the picture is displayed in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow.

I'm editing on a tablet, and my thumb slipped, so I instantly reverted. I really should have dropped you a note, for which I apologise. Kafka Liz ( talk) 14:34, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

I'm trying to fix something in the article John Singleton Copley#Move to London and the European tour. See User talk:Art LaPella#John Singleton Copley.

It's genuine, but some %^**$% trimmed the edges and stuck it down on a piece of card (I should have guessed from the use of masking tape to seal the frame). Xanthomelanoussprog ( talk) 21:50, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
I'm not quite happy with the images right of the FPs yet; I do try to have a variety of subjects, but I'm not sure they harmonize as well as they might. If you see an improvement (possibly replacing one with Pembroke College), let's do it. On which subject - there might actually be room for Pembroke College, but we need to finish descriptions, then I'll get my friend with a widescreen monitor to make sure it doesn't overflow too badly if we have the extra image. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 16:33, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
Just not willing to start and end with something I nominated; Aiding a Comrade is my one self-indulgence for this month, I daren't do another. Also, big tall images look terrible on their own. Let's leave it for now; I might need to lose the gallery between FAs and FLs after the widescreen check, so I'd like to keep options open, not fill in all space yet. =) Adam Cuerden ( talk) 17:34, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
Sorry again about the spider. It'll stay small from now at least until the work's done. =) Anyway, I've cut " No, that's not a towel on his head - it is a hat." - unfortunately, "towelhead" is a really nasty American insult for Muslims, referring to the turban, and, maybe I'm being too cautious, but it's probably best to steer clear of that.

Hafs, I'm not "writing an article" about Moras; all I did was translate what's basically a stub on Ger. WP. The problem with it, as mentioned, is it's totally unreferenced. Ganz typisch.

FYI, Sunrise, Inverness Copse is an early version of We are making a new world and the latter is generally considered the better version. 14GTR ( talk) 12:42, 16 October 2014 (UTC) Yes, the first is a drawing or a sketch - and the other one is an oil painting. However I think that the first version has more of the scary dull dramatic quality. Also it is smaller, sometimes when drawing and painting are enlarged they loose little of their original fresh idea. It could be nominatedas a drawing. The problem is that it has to be used. Hafspajen ( talk) 12:50, 16 October 2014 (UTC) Sunrise, Inverness Copse is 4,910 × 3,497 pixels and it is 35cm x 25 cm. Hafspajen ( talk) 12:54, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
I've always thought of them as two versions of the same, only one is the on-site sketch and the other the oil painting produced later after a short while back in England. There is a school of thought that regards them as a sunrise and sunset pairing, as these were often the two moments of greatest danger in the forward trenches. 14GTR ( talk) 13:13, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi Haffy, glad to see you're back. FPC is a bit different than the other Featured projects, in that an oppose doesn't mean death for a nomination. So long as it has at least 2/3rds (66%) supports (and 5 !votes), the image can pass. 4/5 is 80%, so the bird image is still passing. — Crisco 1492 ( talk) 08:29, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Morning Hafspajen (or is it Warrington - I'm not sure?),
I see you are still busily working on the Poodle article! It doesn't look as if we are going to get a response from the editor(s) who were determined to have a different version included, which was what I was hoping from the RfC. What about swapping the pic in the info box for something more appropriate? Perhaps the black in the Scandinavian clip? You know a lot more about Poodles than I do, so I'll leave sorting this one out to you - I might see if I can get some 'stacked' photos of Poodles next weekend as I will be at a show.

I have uploaded some pics of a male and female Komondor to commons - not very good pics, I'm afraid! The dogs are only one year old so do not have mature coats yet but they certainly are huge dogs.

I am very impressed with the article! I have adjusted the references, so please have a look to make sure I have got them right - change them quickly if I've done it incorrectly. This is interesting, see page 35. They are called 'Wally dugs' in Scotland and were often a feature on mantelpieces in Glasgow tenements apparently. The designer that collection is about has an article Enid Marx, so maybe it could be tied in somehow?. I've not managed to find any Commons pics of an ornament to use yet - I like the art you have used though as I do like good paintings! I'll see if I can find more later.

Hi Hafspajen, I've tried looking at the OEB article - you've done a lot of work on it and the pics look good! I've had to remove the refs to dogbreedinfo.com as it's a site we take out of dog breed articles as soon as we see them because it's not a reliable source. The article has been a bit of a battleground for quite some time and it looks like a comment was blanked from the talk page but not by the editor who put the comment on; and someone blanked the merging of the Dorset Olde Tyme Bulldogge from the article as well.

Perfect timing. I made two contributions
Again congrats! Smallbones( smalltalk) 04:52, 25 December 2013 (UTC)
Your work looks different everywhere! BTW, I increased the size (height) of the gingerbread molds so that they appear bigger compared to the others. The heights were set the same, but since the widths of the molds was narrower, the overall pix were smaller (and even "appeared" shorter). Here's an exercise for you to get an idea of what happens when you change one of your settings. I'm on a MacBook Pro notebook, and this will all look different if you are on a different machine. Get out of fullscreen so that you can change the width of the browser window manually. Look at the galleries and change the width in and out. See how the galleries jump around. Well there are an esesentially infinite number of people on a very large number of different types of computers with maybe a dozen different settings each that they can set. Somebody will be viewing the article as you saw it at each step of the in-and-out exercise. Now change the zoom setting to 125% from 100% .... Hope this helps All of this relative display stuff is a built-in design choice of the wiki software, and to a large extent to HTML in general. Smallbones( smalltalk) 16:17, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Hafspajen. I'm wondering why you came to the decision that the Mrs Sarah Siddons - WGA8419.jpg at 124 KB is a better pic than Thomas Gainsborough 015.jpg 189 KB. For the sake of 65 KB, the image file used earlier is actually a better reproduction and is larger and more detailed at full resolution. The image you've replaced it with has basically only had the contrast lifted, brightening bolder colours which aren't prominent in the actual original, and has lost softer detail characteristic of Gainsborough's Rococo-influenced style.
If you're keen on your replacement, I'm fine with keeping it... but it isn't actually an improvement. Cheers! -- Iryna Harpy ( talk) 03:00, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

National Airlines used to have this beautiful poster that they displayed of this gorgeous stewardess inviting you onto the plane. Now her name wasn't Mandy actually, it was something like, er, oh gosh knows, "I'm Cindy", a very American name. "I'm Cindy, fly me" which was a quite sexual connotation as well, but I remember seeing in Manchester this beautiful poster and just below it was this tramp, I mean a serious tramp, quite a raggedy guy, looking up at this girl, and I thought God, do you know, there's a song there. Look at that guy looking up at Cindy-fly-me ...
So I brought it back, the idea back to the studio, where we were writing for the How Dare You! album, and put it to the guys: "Anybody interested in this 'I'm Mandy Fly Me'". I'd switched it to Mandy. And Graham said "yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Hafspajen ( talk) 10:28, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

♥ Hafs, I am really sorry to read about the problems you're having over at the Swedish Wikipedia but to get the gist of what's going on I'm having to run it through Google Translate and it is making it just sooooo funny! A couple of examples of the Google translation from the ANI discussion: "Without being fully loaded on the matter ..."
and "... in the midst of an infected discussion."
Did the good Drmies infect them with something??

Hi. I saw your edits at the Tadao Ando article and comments on the article's talk page. I see you are an experienced Wikipedia editor, but I wonder if you knew that you can change the size at which thumbnail images are displayed in your browser by going to "Preferences" -> "Appearance" -> "Files". That allows you to specify the size at which thumbnails in Wikipedia articles are displayed on your own computer setup without forcing everyone else to use the same size just because it happens to look good on your computer screen. As mentioned in the guidelines at WP:ImageSize, forcing a "larger" image size actually makes it smaller for those readers who have a larger size set as preference. Anyway, I added a comment about this on Talk:Tadao Ando, so I hope you can have a look at the manual of style guidelines. -- DAJF ( talk) 00:30, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Hafs, just a note for future reference. If you should happen to find an editor claiming to be very young, it's not a good idea to rush to an admin's talkpage and say publicly "hi, I found a seven-year-old editor, and the article they are editing is (link)!" This is because very young editors sometimes attract strange responses, some of which are not good. And admins' talk pages tend to be quite widely watched by some quite strange people, especially if they wear T-shirts a size too small.
Instead, a much better idea is to email the admin for advice instead.
Another really good place not to mention such things (or any other excess of personal information) is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents, for approximately the same reasons.
(Of course, in this case it doesn't matter, because it seems the editor isn't in fact very young anyway, but in other cases it might matter.) -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 12:23, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I am the webmaster for the JCCA -- the Japanese Chin Club of America (you may email me at the address provided at the bottom of http://www.japanesechinclub.org for verification) which is the parent club for the Japanese Chin at the AKC. The information (history) provided was placed up with authorization of the (at the time current) board of directors for the JCCA (Sari is our historian and member and provided the history for club use). I guess I need to learn how to properly quote reference this material in whole (I'm not a book author, but a simple webmaster and JCCA member). If you can provide details or help quote it for me, that would be appreciated.
As for the images, I'm working to knock down the amount of "personal" images posted to this site in an effort to only show a) the differences in Chin and b) the representations of a Chin. The including of a "gallery" will open a Pandora's box that should not offer an open door for any owner to think they can just post any picture and have Wiki host it. -- Proximo128 ( talk) 16:48, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

I've even tried to refer them over to the Talk page in the desciption of my edits and asked for them to provide similar references for the version of the text they place, but it hasn't done any good. Seeing as I have provided references (quotes attributed to David Leavitt from a website maintained by his own organization) for the version of text I am proposing, what would you suggest I do here? They are suggesting that it was not a "portion" of the breed that the name-change applied to, but that is also obviously false as the breed has been accepted by the United Kennel Club under the OEB name by those breeders who were against the change.

Hello Thanks for the invite but i have more than enough of all these debates going nowhere. I do not see a positive thing in a other useless debate about head shapes. First it was the notability after established that it was to personal and I was given a Wikipedia: Conflict of interest . Also I was accused of using wiki for selling puppies. But most important all wonderful work done by Sminthopsis84 is being destroyed by one person. And some just allowed it to happen and a 2 months of critical work by Sminthopsis84 is deleted by a one minute press on the undo button action. I wrote a little text and I will leave it at that. /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#Leavitt_Bulldog_discussion We have been around a view times debating on the article but always with a lot of respect and there was always the intention to help from you guys I respect you guys for that. I hope you keep your eyes open for what’s is happening and wish you all the best. Best wishes from Amsterdam Gr Barry-- Freedombulls ( talk) 18:31, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

She had a point about David leavitt his statement on the page of Titikio.
But there was a lot more to it.
Back then was a year that the Old English Bulldog page was changed a lot( i think you guys name it a wikiwar ) and often with wrong information.
The leavitt bulldog page was still not running or better was deleted a couple of times.
David Leavitt looked for a way to inform the people correctly and posted up the link a view times but because Titikio kept deleting it David Leavitt left a note on his page.
But like I wrote this afternoon we indeed share the same old bloodlines but after 10 years we have more separate blood lines than just having the Old English bulldog to work with we have crossed more new lines the last 10 years.
We breed more and with a bigger breeders group 20 breeders and now we have a different look or like they say appearance which i think established already before with the diagrams.
Also his mention of being in the same show ring with OEB’S is true but there is also more to it we have not only the OEBKC dogs but also the Renascence bulldogs ,Alternative Bulldogs and all other Bulldog mixes in the same ring.
This was because the breed was not recognized and all show hosts end up putting all OEB or OEB mixes in the same show ring.
All over the world you can breed a dog like poodle to an OEB and still it is called OEB.
So that is where David Leavitt cry for help came from why else start with 3 x please??
But like i said I'm all for not work on each other’s page :-)

I will no longer debate with him he can agree or disagree but I'm done debating.
I say this with all the respect i have i really appreciate your willing to work this out with us.
But like i said no more debates he can just take this offer or leave it but both is fine by me.
I already promise you i stay away from the OEB page no matter the outcome.

Hello, I understand your concern regarding the term in the article. However, while irony is often misunderstood, it is not within the scope of this article to explain that specifically. By that logic, we should modify every article that uses often misunderstood terms. Such an explanation is far too involved, and is simply jarring for readers. The purpose of the header section is not to address all possible misinterpretations of the content, but to provide a general look at the subject of the article. You should read WP:LEAD, the most relevant section in this situation is, I think "Apart from trivial basic facts, significant information should not appear in the lead if it is not covered in the remainder of the article."

Hafspajen, with regards to galleries, there is a trend, among people who are not very interested in art, to remove them altogether. The reason is that there is a link to the atist's collection on Wikimedia Commons. However, I believe that showing works by the artist is a good idea, because that is what they are famous for.
But your collection of images was made up mainly of details, not the masterpieces for which the artist is famous, but just little bits of them. Out of your twenty images, only four showed complete paintings, and there were "last Supper" details all over the place with little indication which image they came from.
If you are going to make galleries, then every image that you put into it has to have a rationale. Two images showing the same horses' head and three images of different sizes showing the same apostles is very hard to justify, when they can all be found on Commons.
I agree that the article needed work. I have put some of the greatest commissions into galleries. Putting together galleries that look good, serve a purpose and are not going to get deleted takes a lot of work. Jamming together every picture that appeals to you, is not a good way to go. You need to choose high quality images that sit well together. Then you need to arrange them as if you were hanging works in a real gallery.
The person who deleted the gallery from Michelangelo was Johnbod. The reason that he did it was perfectly clear. It was a muddle of stuff, put together without apparent thought, and with Michelangelo's earliest work last in the series of images. If you have a look at the article on Michelangelo now, you will find that it has a gallery integrate with the text.
The portrait of the old man with the growth on his nose is Ghirlandaio's most popular portrait, because of the tender expressions of the man and the child. I am an older person, and I have had fairly extensive surgery on my nose for skin cancer. Like that old man, my grandchildren love me, despite the scars on my face. I suppose that you are either very young or very beautiful, to have made such a thoughtless comment.

Hafspajen, I've been reading Alan Palmer's The Baltic: A New History of the Region and Its People (2005), and I think you might find it interesting. Much about Sweden (those savages!) and other Scandinavian countries, and quite a lot about the Baltic states. Well written. Alas, no illustrations.

It's still essentially a draft, but I can polish it later if need be. Meanwhile, you can hit the edit button, copy the text and paste it into Hans Baluschek. Feel free to edit the text or resize (or add & subtract) pics as you see fit.
I managed to trim it by about a third, from 4,700 to 3,000 words, but it's still lengthy and perhaps too detailed. The style in German was complex and at times confusing; I left out some of the more abstruse passages and references to things only Germans would understand.
I'm not sure why the "external links" ended up the way they did, but perhaps they'll change automatically when it's part of the English Baluschek article — ??

It's my picture and it's been on the page for a long time. 2. Wikipedia readers need to see something which is not just a 1940s stereotype of a nun from a bygone age: nuns are active now and need to be seen in the light of liberated active, dynamic women of the 21st century. There are plenty of other photos on the page of the traditional nun of yester-year. I do like the photo you posted - I hope you cane find another part of the page to put it.

See User talk:Victorlarsson - this new editor has created an article on Gunnilbo parish and a whole bunch of articles on local vicars and chaplains, which all seem to be based on a 19th-century book: Westerås Stifts Herdaminne by Joh. Fr. Muncktell. At the parish article he provided that link; at the vicars/chaplains articles he just cited it as his source. All but one of the biographies have now been deleted as non-notable; initially he posted them in Swedish, then what appears to be a Google or other machine translation was added, very bad partly because of all the abbreviations. Some of them may be notable, and I feel bad about how the editor must feel, so I'd be grateful if you can either establish whether any of them are worth undeleting or help me explain how we work here so he doesn't feel so bad (and maybe there are other things he can help us by writing up - at this point we have a longer article on the parish than the Swedes do, and at least one other person has added additional references and otherwise improved it). I think he's Swedish, and as you know I just fake being able to read Swedish, not to mention being not a church person. I'd be grateful if you can help in any way.

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimm'd:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to Time thou grow'st.
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
Hi! In case you are interested, there is a discussion here about William Penn's 1683 treaty with the Lenape Indians, and specifically whether Voltaire's famous quote ("...a treaty never written, never broken") from his 1764 Dictionnaire philosophique was incorrect. If you have time, your input would be appreciated. Thanks! -- Guy Macon ( talk) 11:37, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello, we previously had some discussions about toy galleries, at Talk:Teddy bear and Talk:Toy, which inspired me to create a gallery at Dollhouse#Gallery. You can also see there what I mean about having encyclopedic information about the contents of the images. I hope you like it! By the way, I don't know if you noticed already, but if you're interested in creating toy galleries, many of the articles in Category:Traditional toys and subcategories have plenty of free images available that would make for good galleries without copyright troubles.

If an editor has previously posted their own personal information but later redacted it, it should not be repeated on Wikipedia; if the previously posted information has been removed by oversight, then repeating it on Wikipedia is considered outing.

I see you saw fit to remove a photograph I posted on the West Highland White Terrier page showing three sisters taking their three pet terriers for a walk. I came across them by chance over two years ago when I happened to pass through their village (what are the chances of ever coming across that combination again?). I won't go into the details, but it took several attempts and almost two years to track them down to ask their permission to use this photograph on Wikipedia. I thought it added a welcome human touch to the page. Now it is back to featuring only dog portraits. How many of those does one need? Anyway, the good thing is that I've learnt never to put myself to the same trouble again in the misguided notion of enhancing the look of a Wikipedia page. Kim Traynor | Talk 21:12, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Hafspajen (

OK. I'm not hopeful that many will respond, but I do appreciate your gesture. (Just for info: it took about three or four phone calls and personal inquiries to a village Post Office and shop, then questioning several people on streets and in a hotel pub, plus two abortive searches for their parental home to find these girls. Believe it or not, I discovered their whereabouts purely by chance from someone in another village miles away from their own who happened to recognise the family from my description of the photo subject. Others may not share my opinion, but I still think it's a fairly remarkable photograph because of the two line-ups involved.) Kim Traynor | Talk 00:41, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi Sir,
Carbolic acid does not contain chlorine, and thus it is not chloric; it is merely a benzene ring with an alcohol group bounded to it. I meant to write the word choleric and noticed the typo yesterday. The word choleric CAN refer to a person who is bad tempered or peevish, but also to an irritable substance. I will use the word "caustic" instead of "choleric" because its meaning is perhaps more apropos from your viewpoint.
As I've already mentioned, choleric can refer to temperament but also to anything irritable; would it be malapropos to say that is a substance is irritable? However you look at it, cabolic acid certainly is NOT chloric; it does not contain chlorine. Thank you for leaving the word "caustic" unedited, however.
Thank you for your cordiality.— Preceding unsigned comment added by IP ( talk • contribs)

Hafspajen, I don't know what to make of this. You're referring to the Coat, of course--but I don't see much in the way of harassment there, just a comment: they're not even opposing. As I said before, this isn't something that an admin can do anything about. If there truly is a problem and it needs addressing, it will have to be done by editors, by conversation, by consensus. And those editors should be people who are well acquainted with the FP process, obviously. Sorry. Drmies ( talk) 02:26, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
Digital manipulation for the purpose of correcting flaws in an image is generally acceptable, provided it is limited, well-done, and not intended to deceive. - For historic images, acceptable manipulations might include digitally fixing rips, removal of stains, cleanup of dirt, and, for mass-produced artworks such as engravings, removal of flaws inherent to the particular reproduction, such as over-inking. Careful colour adjustments may be used to bring out the original work from the signs of ageing, (EXACLY WHAT Dcoetzee DID) though care should be taken to restore a natural appearance.
I agree that I can't tell if the figures on the pedestal of Andrea del Sarto's painting are harpies, but they were interpreted as such and thus gave rise, in English, to the name of the painting. Rococo1700 ( talk) 16:02, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

That peace rose looks very similar to the one in my sister's garden — same variety? I see from Rosa Peace that it was propagated in the U.S. (and elsewhere outside Nazi Europe) during WWII. Interesting history....
Do you not yet see or understand?
Yes, Drmies; you are right, and they did won. I am not going to edit Wikipedia like this. - I am leaving Wikipedia - because there is obviously no help to get.
You are one of those tough guys who can manage to take as much shit that I am sometimes surprized of it - even if you put that terrible picture on you userpage - by Artemisia Gentileschi - you are managing very well. I am not like you.
I was trying to convince you that this user Coat of Many Colours:
And yes I feel both bad and I an upset - right. He defeated me in front off all those people and made fun of me - on the one field where I am really an expert - and I am really an expert and I do know what I am talking about when it comes to art - while everybody is just watching silently and keeping quiet- - and he is obviously incivil, disruptive and unpleasant and nobody cares.
Just imagine the same thing happening to you imagine some guy coming around and making fun of you, Drmies, and destroying everything for you on some linguistic project where you really know what it is all about - but the bullying guy is using fine terms and convinvcing everyone and everything that you are the person who doesn't get it - not him - and the things you say are not true - and doing this to you repeatedly? And is making every move you do into a circus, following you arround everywhere, reverting even your withdrawn nomination... And goes on doing this under a long time - interfearing with you in the most uncivilized way - and all your friends whom you trusted and loved just don't move a finger for you.
I grow up in a home with artists (half of the family are artist while the other half physicians), I went to art school for 4 years, studied drawing and painting extra two years private, and studied yet art history two years. Plus I have the landscape architect exam - my profession - that is also about - in a way - visual arts, composition, colours and also space. Have you counted how many FP pictures I succeded to nominate - in a relatively short period? 15 - right - or maybe 16 - is this because I don't have a clue?
He who has ears let him hear he who has eyes let him see. Thanks anyway to Fylbecatulous, Demiurge1000 and CorinneSD - who at least tried to stop this insanity while others only were watching or made some helpful comment in the middle of this conceptual fireworks display of violations of all Wikipedia interaction norms. Yes, we have gudelines, we have policies - a nice decoration that sounds good - but while others can count on me - I can obviously not count on them. Hafspajen ( talk) 04:08, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

I can recognize the signs... Horse droppings are not figs — do not be fooled by appearances. And Drmies, don't tell he knows about art, because he doesn't. One can change writing patterns by copying sentences - and one can read books of art - and this is the kind of comments someone would make who doesn't know much art but has a big mouth and have read two or three art books - about - Mary Cassatt, for example.
Now look what he is doing - vigourously - on Adam's van Gogh nomination, he realized it was me and Adam who were worked out that one. Now he won't let out of that one out of his hands to easily - he won't miss the chance of trouble it up...
No, I will not come back to participate in the same way as I did before, not like this. Only when this problem will be solved - as above or when he finally gets banned from editing WP:FP for his equally own merits for disruptive editing, harrasment and uncivility. He is not doing any good to that project, it is just a lot of disturbance and not one good point. At least if he would have SOMETHING intelligent to say - but it is just empty - air - plus a lot of words and lots of provocations - and a lot of trouble for everyone who tries to respond to it - because really there are no valid points and nothing intelligent to argue against.

Hello Hafspajen. I decided to write you because of your status as a long time editor. I am writing concerning your undoing an edit (that itself was an undo) I made on the Rene Lalique page. A person created an entirely new section called Public Collections as well as at the same time or near that time, other related external links were placed elsewhere on the page. In the new section, they then listed 4 or 5 “museums” some linked to wiki pages about that museum, some to the museum, some without links. I undid their entire edit in good faith. I had three issues with the major edit:
1. The first so called museum on the list is a dealer’s related museum that is part of a cross linked sales effort by a dealer. The so called museum shares a mailing address, a phone number and website IP address with the dealer. The two sites, the dealer sales site and the “museum” site are cross linked to each other. The people involved buy and sell Lalique and send out emails and inquiries for buying and selling using their various museum titles. I believe this “museum” is of zero value to the wiki project. I recently removed several spam links related to that dealer and museum that were put in at the same time on the Rene Lalique page which you can see from the history. The inclusion of that so called museum makes the entire section appear to me as vandalism, and even more so being shortly after the insertion and removal of the spam links to that dealer and museum. I can’t imagine that any serious person would include that “museum” on a list of museums that might be of value to the wiki project.
2. I have a good faith belief that the person putting up the new section I reverted has a COI (not related to the dealer museum information as far as I know)
However even if this is not the case, it would have still been my decision to undo the new section based on the first “museum” on the list and the following 3rd issue.
3. Note the newly placed external links to the Rijksmuseum (this museum is also in the newly created section) and the V & A museum in the reference section. I believe these external links are spam, are out of place in the reference section as nothing in the article is validated by a citation to the information on those lines, let alone external links (the links are to picture pages), and these may also be COI. I thought I was deleting those also as part of the undo that you reversed.
In short, I believe that the newly created section is spam, vandalism, and possibly a COI as well, in addition to not adding anything substantive to the page. And that doesn’t account for the negative impact of the sales linked “museum” appearing on the page as part of this new section quickly after I deleted the previous spam entries. The other external links to picture pages at two museums (one of which is also in the new section) added as references are not references at all, are link spam and may be COI as well.
That is why I reverted the entry. I assume you could not know all of what I have written when you undid my edit to remove these things.
Respectfully, Patagoniaddd ( talk) 20:35, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
Hello. Thank you for the reply.
How about this: I will remove the spam references and the new section. I will add a sentence to the main listing saying that the works of Rene Lalique are in the collections of a large number of public institutions around the world including ….. and I will mention half a dozen serious museums as examples……. the Gulbenkian, the Rijksmuseum, the Musee Lalique and the Musee des art decoratif in France, the New York Metropolitan Museum, and the Corning Museum. This will leave the Rijksmuseum on the page. I got these names from the ongoing compilation of museums holding the works of Rene Lalique that is taking place at rlalique.com at this page: rlalique.com/rlalique/lalique-museum.php.
Would this be reasonable both from a common sense standpoint, cleaning up the issues, and also be of value to readers of the page?

Paul Gauguin is well known for his representations of tropical scenes, mostly including naked young women. He traveled to many different paradise islands in his time and with so many different sights to inspire him, it is no surprise that the majority of his artwork stems from these visits. The one pictured here is titled 'Aha oe Feii' and features two native ladies who are enjoying the heat of the day and relaxing next to a nearby tree. Painted with the characteristic muted and earthy colours, this art print by Gauguin would work wonders to transport you to a relaxing, tropical island whenever you need it.
This painting belongs to the stage of Tahitian Gauguin. The painter, who moved to the South Seas, had started painting with exotic content. He depicted especially women who are portrayed nude - chaste and pure nudity-. He intended to show the islands of the Pacific Ocean as a little corner of paradise where people live ain peaceful harmony between human and nature. this concept remains a mystery. Gauguin came from the world of Western Europe, much more complex and filled with selfish social and political and economic interests. Gauguin discovered there a different life. A life more simple and pure, simple but very obvious, made of genuine things, pervaded by a spirituality.
In this painting depicts two women, one sitting and the other outstretched on the beach. The subject is described by the painter in his book "Noa Noa":
two sisters on the beach that had just taken a bath, lay in random voluptuous attitudes, talk about a love of the past and of the future projects of love. A reminder of the divide: "What! Are you jealous? "
As usual in the paintings of Gauguin, the title of the work is written on the canvas, in this case in the lower left. It is written in Tahitian and its exotic sound serves to give more charm to the picture, a phrase actually uttered by the two women, to give more specific content to the framework.
If it was not for this phrase in the corner of the painting, the depiction could be mistaken for a pure decorative symphony of colours, searching only for the formal beauty of their bodies. But Gauguin meant a different stament with this picture. It has different meaning: the complicity of all women in the dialogue about the deepest, timeless mystery of life: love. The eternal feeling of love and searching about its meaning.
The picture with its decorative characteris more a two-dimensional image than a three dimensional.
Gauguin was very fond of this picture, so that in a letter to a friend he wrote: "I've been doing lately a naked heart, two women on the beach, I think it's also my best so far."
The painting was later bought by the Russian collector Sukin and like all the rest of his collection was nationalized by the Soviet state immediately after the October Revolution. Today the picture is displayed in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow.

I was looking at articles on American artists and came across the article on Agnes Martin. I was surprised that, in a substantial article, there was not one image. Can you help find at least one image of her artwork? CorinneSD ( talk) 20:30, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

Hafs, I thought you might be interested in reading the article on John Hesselius. He was the son of Swedish artist Gustavus Hesselius. I had never heard of either one, had you? CorinneSD ( talk) 22:42, 25 October 2014 (UTC) Oh, he was Swedish American - like my uncle. And Peale's teacher - fixed you nom, by the way - found a GOOGLE FILE!

Hafs, I'm not "writing an article" about Moras; all I did was translate what's basically a stub on Ger. WP. The problem with it, as mentioned, is it's totally unreferenced. Ganz typisch. I'm not going to scramble all over the Net looking for "citations." I just want to get a small article on him out there — he deserves mention, with pics (but IMO not too many).

I'd like to know how these artists painted scenes of the middle of the winter. Many of the winter scenes I've seen here were painted before cameras were invented. Did they sit outside in the freezing cold for hours painting? Br-r-r. I guess they could just make a sketch and then fill in the rest indoors, but still...

FYI, Sunrise, Inverness Copse is an early version of We are making a new world and the latter is generally considered the better version. 14GTR ( talk) 12:42, 16 October 2014 (UTC) Yes, the first is a drawing or a sketch - and the other one is an oil painting. However I think that the first version has more of the scary dull dramatic quality. Also it is smaller, sometimes when drawing and painting are enlarged they loose little of their original fresh idea. It could be nominatedas a drawing. The problem is that it has to be used. Hafspajen ( talk) 12:50, 16 October 2014 (UTC) Sunrise, Inverness Copse is 4,910 × 3,497 pixels and it is 35cm x 25 cm. Hafspajen ( talk) 12:54, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
I've always thought of them as two versions of the same, only one is the on-site sketch and the other the oil painting produced later after a short while back in England. There is a school of thought that regards them as a sunrise and sunset pairing, as these were often the two moments of greatest danger in the forward trenches. 14GTR ( talk) 13:13, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi Haffy, glad to see you're back. FPC is a bit different than the other Featured projects, in that an oppose doesn't mean death for a nomination. So long as it has at least 2/3rds (66%) supports (and 5 !votes), the image can pass. 4/5 is 80%, so the bird image is still passing. — Crisco 1492 ( talk) 08:29, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Hafstermaister, I give you Woman Reading a Letter and Man Writing a Letter. I'd have someone look over it--someone who knows what they're doing. I'd call on Yngvadottir, but I'm scared the wolf has got her. I'd call on Mandarax, for artsy stuff and sex, but they're in the slammer for being a spammer. I would consider SPhil, but I think you know the drill: if it's wrote by Drmies then the prose ain't worth a ... dime. Good luck with it. Drmies ( talk) 00:57, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

Yngvadottir and make him happy - ALT 3 - It just is probably that it was to many of this lately - and I don't understand why it is tolerated. - It is making the editing atmosphere bad, as it was said once - some classic essay.

OK everybody: the histories are merged, but it's overwhelmingly the draft version I had saved before seeing Serten's message on my talk page. Xanthemeloumanossprog (sp! I know! sorry!) got in an edit right before I did the merge, so I have put in the categories from that version but you folks need to look carefully at the two last versions and rescue any other improvements that I hadn't seen.

Remember I won't be around tomorrow so will you keep an eye on the dog articles (I know you and others do already) but can you keep a special watch on Šarplaninac - there seems to have been a slow edit war going on over Serbia/Kosavo; also Bulldog is being chopped and changed over whether it should be English or British Bulldog - I haven't raked all the way through the talk page on that to work out what the consensus is supposed to be as it seems to have been going on since mid 2012 but it has flared up a bit more recently.
