Hafs,
Everyone will be very glum without you to cheer us up and decorate our talk pages. Listen to Yunshui - he is very wise and always gave me good advice - have some tea, or better still some Irish coffee, take a deep breath and an hour or two away from the computer. You know I'm not very patient and will end up reverting your user page ... ... SagaciousPhil - Chat 11:06, 27 February 2015 (UTC) |

This site really can be a pain sometimes. You do not have to be sorry as it was not you that caused my frustration, and, as you noticed I just cleaned house and moved on. Wrapping up a project right now and will have time for stuff later, I just need a week off to get my stuff in order. I will cover the FP SpaceShipOne caption and summary in a day or two, I have a TON of media to offload and need that done first. I have some ideas to improve that section and, once I recover from the last week I will reconsider my contributions if everyone is willing to work together, and refrain from unloading on me/mytalk page :), do not despair ok. It looks like others have at long last stepped up and are contributing, and it has been pre published in a timely manner. That is a good start. Cheers! talk→ WPPilot 04:05, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
Hi Hafspajen,
Came across
this edit to
Looted art. I removed it, then I saw what you said at
David nachman (
talk ·
contribs)s talkpage. It looks like it may now have been removed from WP totally, as they added it to four pages. I also Googled it, and it's everywhere!
As a person interested in 'art', which I'm not really, perhaps you might know the current state of the Warka Vase?
Someone said your page is like a museum, and I agree. I like the stained glass up there ↑ somewhere. "Ryūko-zu Byōbu" (dragon) by
Hashimoto Gahō is neat too.

I see we have a shared interest in the Disdéri photo. Was going through his high-quality scans today, saw her, thought "Ooh, famous artist" and saw your talk page message. A little sensible rearrangement of the images, and it's in - I like starting with the best image we have of someone.
So, what d'ye think, restore and co-nominate? Adam Cuerden ( talk) 09:50, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
like this :
It certainly doesn't look good as you re-set it. Hafspajen ( talk) 12:23, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
On mine, at 170, you get 2 long rows, with one centred images below it - really hideous. This is really irritating that one can't make a gallery look good on all screens, how is one supposed to do a good job like this<+ Is 140 OK? Hafspajen ( talk) 12:33, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
Um... Hafs? You only edit with one window size, don't you?
"the gallery was composed to show up as it does now, 6 first row, 4 second. There is balance and thought behind that layout"
That's literally impossible to do with the gallery tag. It will put as many images in the first row that fill it, and all remaining into the second row, and so on. How many are in each row will depend entirely on how wide your window is so never decide the heights of images in a gallery based on how it looks to you. You have to try a lot of window sizes and compare. Some window widths will always have dangling images. That's completely unavoidable. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 12:32, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
No I have several screens. Looks same. Hafspajen ( talk) 12:33, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
I can live with 140, but I'd be inclined to just go big. 250 or so and it won't matter so much; it's not like there's much content of importance under the gallery. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 12:42, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

I didn't protest too much when you wanted the nomination for Niagara Falls, from the American Side to be closed. That's because I knew that it could be renominated any time before April Fools' Day. Well, I'm now proposing that we do just that. You've said that your DYKs have been "difficult", and this one was particularly so. But the two recent DYKs which I nominated for you were approved without any difficulty at all. We would start a brand new nom for the Church, and hopefully this time it will go smoother. Worst case, if those long passages in the References section become an issue again, they can be changed; they could even be eliminated entirely just until the DYK runs, and then you could restore them afterwards. Your wonderful article about this great painting deserves its time on the Main Page. If you and Sagaciousphil are okay with it, it should definitely be nominated to appear on April Fools' Day. If Xanthomelanoussprog wants to nominate it again, that's fine, or I could do it. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 21:17, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

I am no English major. You brought me into the Featured section and I was never provided any direction. When Adam let loose on me I had enough, as it was not my obligation to cover for his delay in posting the template. I asked CorinneSD to assist me, so as to address the issues Adam had with that fast down and dirty edit done on last moments notice. CorinneSD seems like a interested and competent user and I would love to have the user assist me, in the first round drafts that I create in the FP section as her English skills are far superior to mine and I felt that would address the issues he raised. All this yoyo bullshit is exhausting and I can ask anyone I like to assist me, as the page has a clear invite to other users, yet you do not want CorinneSD to help me in any way, is that correct???????? aaaarrrrrrggggggggggggg talk→ WPPilot 16:37, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

" Charles I in Three Positions is a painting by Philippe de Champaigne (1602 – 1674) who was a Brabançon-born French Baroque era painter, and a founding member of the French Academy for painting and sculpture. He was mainly active in Paris, where he portrayed the entire French court, the French high nobility, royalty, high members of the church and the state, parliamentarians and architects and other notable people, some more than once. And he was simply crazy about Cardinal de Richelieu, he painted him from the left, right, facing him, sitting, standing ... sometimes he painted him three times in the same painting too... he just simply couldn't have enough of him. Or was it the other way round*?"
It's the
Triple Portrait of Cardinal de Richelieu, actually. I think the rest is accurate, but... could you double-check that?

Hey Haf, sorry for reverting you but I thought it would be best to keep it out while we're talking. In my view, and the view of a woman I asked for comment, the last sentence is pretty sexist. While I'm very sure that it was unintentional (really, I can't stress enough that I'm not blaming or mad at you or anything like that), I don't feel that it should be in a description.

Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Hafspajen. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Hafspajen~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,

On the right of it sits Midas with very large ears, extending his hand to Slander while she is still at some distance from him. Near him, on one side, stand two women— Ignorance and Suspicion. On the other side, Slander is coming up, a woman beautiful beyond measure, but full of malignant passion and excitement, evincing as she does fury and wrath by carrying in her left hand a blazing torch and with the other dragging by the hair a young man who stretches out his hands to heaven and calls the gods to witness his innocence. She is conducted by a pale ugly man who has piercing eye and looks as if he had wasted away in long illness; he represents envy. There are two women in attendance to Slander, one is Fraud and the other Conspiracy. They are followed by a woman dressed in deep mourning, with black clothes all in tatters—she is Repentance. At all events, she is turning back with tears in her eyes and casting a stealthy glance, full of shame, at Truth, who is slowly approaching.

Look what crazy thing some of my Swedish buddies did. This is Arthur, everybody.
When an extreme sports team from Sweden undertook a grueling adventure race through Ecuador, the teammates never expected to end up with a fifth member whose story would touch people’s hearts around the world.
Team Peak Performance, an adventure racing team, embarked upon the Adventure Racing World Championship, traversing the Andes, trekking through jungle and paddling on river. At times knee-deep in mud, the team members didn’t have the aid of GPS and were guided only by maps on the 430-mile journey. It was more like, ‘OK, he’s going with us. What should we do?’ We’re like, ‘We need to feed him otherwise he will die,” Lindnord said.
The dog, who they named Arthur, followed them through the rough terrain. When they put their kayaks in the river for the final leg of the race, organizers advised them against taking the dog, so, for his safety and theirs, they tried to leave him behind. Arthur threw himself into the river and started to swim alongside their departing kayaks, Lindnord added.
Deeply moved by the dog’s devotion, Lindnord turned his kayak and pulled Arthur up onto his lap.
“It was like, you know, ‘OK, you’re going with us,’ and that’s how it went,” Lindnord said. When the team crossed the finish line after racing for six days, Arthur was with them. Team Peak Performance ranked 12th overall in the competition that ended earlier this month, but theirs is the story that continues to resonate.
Lindnord, who doesn’t have pets at home, said he couldn’t leave Arthur behind. The dog had to be examined by a veterinarian, and Lindnord embarked upon rounds of phone calls, pleas and paperwork in order to get permission to take Arthur home with the team.
At times, the process was overwhelming.
“And I felt like, OK, if Arthur is putting so much energy to us, he deserves that I put this amount of energy on him,” he said.
A post on the team’s Facebook page said Lindnord “almost cried” when he learned Sweden would accept Arthur, and when Ecuadorian officials gave the application their support, he was able to get the final paperwork and take the dog home, where he arrived last week to a media blitz.

Once upon a time there was a young woman who was traveling in a great forest with a family she served. While the party was traveling in the woods robbers ambushed the party and murdered everyone in sight, except for the young woman. She leapt out of the carriage and hid behind a tree and the robbers did not see her.
She was very sad that everyone had been murdered as she surveyed the carnage. She determined to sit under a tree and stay there and let what happened happen. After she had sat there a while, a white dove flew down with a key. It gave the key to the young woman and told her to use it to unlock a tree the dove indicated. Inside the tree would be enough food that the young woman would not be hungry. The young woman unlocked the tree and found bread and milk.
The girl was tired after this and was determined to find somewhere to sleep. The dove flew down once more with another key. The dove told her to open a different tree. Inside she would find a bed. The girl did open the tree and found a beautiful white bed. There she slept.
In the morning the dove came again. It gave her another key and told her in a different tree she would find clothes. She did this and found the most beautiful clothes. They were set with jewels and gold. The girl lived in the forest for a while. Each day the dove came and gave her everything she needed.
One day the dove came to her and asked her a favor. The girl agreed right away. The dove told her that she must go to a small house where a woman would be. The woman would speak to her, but the girl was not to respond. There would be a door that led to a different room. The girl must go in the other room and there would be many rings in there. The girl was to look for a plain ring amongst all the beautiful rings. When she found the ring she was supposed to take it to the dove as soon as possible.
The girl did as asked. She went to the house. The witch said good day, but the girl did not answer. The witch told her to go away, but she did not listen. The witch grabbed the girl’s gown, but the girl got away. The girl managed to get past the witch and into the other room. There were beautiful rings on a table there. The girl looked through them, but they were all ornate and not one of them was plain. She soon spied the witch, who was trying to get away with a bird cage. The girl followed after her.
The girl took the cage from the witch. There was a bird inside with a plain ring in its beak. The girl took the ring and went back to her spot in the forest. The girl thought the dove would come right away, but it did not. She sat down and leaned against a tree to wait for it. As she sat there the tree softened and twined around her. She was surprised because the branches weren’t branches anymore, but arms.
The tree was now a handsome man who embraced her and kissed her. The man told the girl that she had released him from the curse he had been under. He was turned into a tree by the witch and was able to be a dove for two hours each day. As long as the witch possessed the ring he was not able to turn back into a human. His servants and horses had also been turned into trees, but they were returned to their proper form. They went back to his kingdom, he was a prince, and they got married.

I did meant shouting . Because I was thinking about something happened. Yesterday somebody was suddenly shouting insults at me - me, who he had never even met before; on the street and it was really unpleasant. Just because he thought I put my bicycle on the wrong place, who knows - probably HIS goat died or maybe his guinea pig. Or he lost his canary somewhere. But still, in Sweden we don't kill each others on the streets like Americans do (meaning that only an American can really think anyone would write a thing like that, nobody would think like this here.)

I thought I'd inflict my horrifying photography skills on you! I went fishing near here in Yamanashi during Golden Week a couple of days ago. It was the day after Children's Day, which is normally the last day of Golden Week, but one of the days fell on a weekend this year, so everyone had May 6th off in lieu. There was a hill covered with giant koinobori that we climbed up. The shot is actually much wider (almost 360°), but by the time I got the camera around the wind had died down, so I cut out all the koinobori that were on the right. If I hadn't been chasing four kids around I would have tried to get a better shot. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 00:43, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

Xanthomelanoussprog, I have been told to stay away from Signpost and the editor, unless I go Skype. I simply have nowhere to bring up this issue. And I don't believe in a group editors going off-wiki for discussing issues there; - like the Signpost editorial staff editors - instead of doing it on-Wiki. Also I think text should be rewritten and not copied from articles, too. The main issue here has always been that it is required per Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. But any times the issue was raised:
It was met by incivility by this editor, some diff above; mixed with occasional apologies, and then it was starting all over again, while nobody else took the issue seriously. I did try to discuss this several times, nobody listened. Calling someone ungrateful, unproductive, rude, childish, borderline, full of shit, ridiculous and crazy are WP:Personal attacks. Nobody took the copyvio issue seriously either, nor the incivility the editor reacted with towards me. But it is required per WP:CWW:
Not everything copied from one Wikipedia page to another requires attribution. If the re-user is the sole contributor of the text at the other page, attribution is not necessary. Content rewritten in one's own words does not need attribution. However, duplicating material by other contributors that is sufficiently creative to be copyrightable under US law (as the governing law for Wikipedia), requires attribution.
See at WP:CWW. As stated I did try to discuss this with several occasions, nobody listened. Editor was reacting with increasing incivility when pointed out, escalating more and more, every time. There is no need to gather evidence (here is one), the whole last couple Signpost editions are full with bits and parts of copivio. Last it was me who was the author copied. But it went so far that Signpost chief editors were telling me not to criticize editor but stay away from him. Like here, this, for example, in the current Signpost version is entirely taken from the article Shakespearean tragedy. In the current version is not even a link provided to the article. Is not even linked to painter, nor tho the to right article, King Lear. Some of the descriptions include unexplained terms and generally look taken from somewhere. However providing a link to article is not attribution. Nobody ever discussed anything with me, about the issues raised above. And let's not forget the other parallel issue: the incivility, that erupted with every occasion this was brought up. I was told to discus it on Skype or nowhere. Now the editor was forbidding me to contact him, and the Signpost redaction is going off-Wiki to discuss where I never joined them. The e-mail I enabled for the Signpost-folks, it collapsed and is not working any more. Hafspajen, disruptive editor
One of the most famous paintings of all time? And may I ask why current Signpost Featured content is saying Napoleon Crossing the Alps is one of the most FAMOUS paintings OF ALL TIME?
Some find it stiff and lifeless, proof of David’s ineptness at capturing movement. Some see it not as art, but propaganda, pure and simple. Some snigger at its overblown, action-packed, cliff-hanging momentousness, with shades of “Hi ho Silver, away!” Some have it down as a sort of beginning of the end moment in David’s career, before he officially became Napoleon’s artist-lackey.
And
Copying About copying; At top of Signpost it say: Text may be adapted from the respective articles and lists; refer to their page histories for attribution. It doesn't say: Text may be copied from the respective articles and lists without no attribution. About going off Wiki, WP:EEML
13) All editors are reminded that the editorial process and dispute resolution must take place on Wikipedia itself, using the article talk pages and project space for this purpose. No discussion held off-wiki can lead to a valid consensus, the basis of our editorial process. Off-wiki coordination is likely to lead to echo chamberswhere there is a false appearance of neutrality and consensus.

Hello, I am working on a pet project to help digitize information about the field of metalsmithing+jewelry. I started with making a page for Art jewelry forum (AJF), and have a list of artists that I would like to make pages for as well. The AJF page has been nominated for deletion because it is questioned if the organization is "notable". I am reaching out to you because I saw that you edited some pages that relate to studio craft, and thought you may have an informed opinion (unlike the mathematician who nominated the page for deletion) about whether or not it is a "notable organization". If you have an opinion, one way or another, please way in on the articles for deletion discussion /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Art_jewelry_forum Clarefinin ( talk) 20:23, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
Hello Hafspajen, thanks for your recent edits to the Cultural depictions of dogs in Western art page. I had transferred to that page a number of art pieces from the Dog page and added the link from there to the Cultural depictions page. It is my opinion that if we are going to reflect any art on the Dog page, then representative samples and words should be provided by someone with an eye for it - which I do not - from the Cultural depictions page, rather than have people simply deposit their favourite pix on the Dog page. Please feel free to do with what I transferred as you see fit. If you have a moment, you might like to provide a sentence or two here: Dogs#Dogs in art. Additionally, I do not know if what is currently pictured there is the best reflection, although it is a nice ancient work. Regards, William Harris • talk • 22:32, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

As a person interested in 'art', which I'm not really, perhaps you might know the current state of the Warka Vase?
Someone said your page is like a museum, and I agree. I like the stained glass up there ↑ somewhere. "Ryūko-zu Byōbu" (dragon) by

On mine, at 170, you get 2 long rows, with one centred images below it - really hideous. This is really irritating that one can't make a gallery look good on all screens, how is one supposed to do a good job like this<+ Is 140 OK? Hafspajen ( talk) 12:33, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
Um... Hafs? You only edit with one window size, don't you?
"the gallery was composed to show up as it does now, 6 first row, 4 second. There is balance and thought behind that layout"
That's literally impossible to do with the gallery tag. It will put as many images in the first row that fill it, and all remaining into the second row, and so on. How many are in each row will depend entirely on how wide your window is so never decide the heights of images in a gallery based on how it looks to you. You have to try a lot of window sizes and compare. Some window widths will always have dangling images. That's completely unavoidable. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 12:32, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
No I have several screens. Looks same. Hafspajen ( talk) 12:33, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

I didn't protest too much when you wanted the nomination for Niagara Falls, from the American Side to be closed. That's because I knew that it could be renominated any time before April Fools' Day. Well, I'm now proposing that we do just that. You've said that your DYKs have been "difficult", and this one was particularly so. But the two recent DYKs which I nominated for you were approved without any difficulty at all. We would start a brand new nom for the Church, and hopefully this time it will go smoother. Worst case, if those long passages in the References section become an issue again, they can be changed; they could even be eliminated entirely just until the DYK runs, and then you could restore them afterwards. Your wonderful article about this great painting deserves its time on the Main Page. If you and Sagaciousphil are okay with it, it should definitely be nominated to appear on April Fools' Day. If Xanthomelanoussprog wants to nominate it again, that's fine, or I could do it. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 21:17, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

The Absolute, also represented through other concepts as the Absolute principle of reality, the All or Whole, the Origin Principle or Primordial Cause, the Sacred or Holy or Utterly Other the Mystery, the Ultimate, the Ground or Urground ("Original Ground"), is the concept of an unconditional reality which transcends limited, conditional, everyday existence.

There's a request for comment opened on the "Involuntary Celibacy" article, with the same editor trying to restore it as the one who tried to do so previously with the latest Deletion Review.

An editor who may wish to draw a wider range of informed, but uninvolved, editors to a discussion can place a message at any of the following:

" Charles I in Three Positions is a painting by Philippe de Champaigne (1602 – 1674) who was a Brabançon-born French Baroque era painter, and a founding member of the French Academy for painting and sculpture. He was mainly active in Paris, where he portrayed the entire French court, the French high nobility, royalty, high members of the church and the state, parliamentarians and architects and other notable people, some more than once. And he was simply crazy about Cardinal de Richelieu, he painted him from the left, right, facing him, sitting, standing ... sometimes he painted him three times in the same painting too... he just simply couldn't have enough of him. Or was it the other way round*?"
It's the
Triple Portrait of Cardinal de Richelieu, actually. I think the rest is accurate, but... could you double-check that?

Hey Haf, sorry for reverting you but I thought it would be best to keep it out while we're talking. In my view, and the view of a woman I asked for comment, the last sentence is pretty sexist. While I'm very sure that it was unintentional (really, I can't stress enough that I'm not blaming or mad at you or anything like that), I don't feel that it should be in a description. Is that alright? Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 13:20, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Hafspajen. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Hafspajen~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell

I did try listing this as a WP:GA request. I don't have much experience on the format, and may not have gotten it right. In any event, they are so back-logged that this could take months. I do think that what we've produced here is what Wikipedia articles should be. And it is substantially better than most of the Van Gogh painting article. I also received a complement from staff at the Toledo Art Museum on the quality of the article. As you don't have e-mail activated, I can't send it to you.

On the right of it sits Midas with very large ears, extending his hand to Slander while she is still at some distance from him. Near him, on one side, stand two women— Ignorance and Suspicion. On the other side, Slander is coming up, a woman beautiful beyond measure, but full of malignant passion and excitement, evincing as she does fury and wrath by carrying in her left hand a blazing torch and with the other dragging by the hair a young man who stretches out his hands to heaven and calls the gods to witness his innocence. She is conducted by a pale ugly man who has piercing eye and looks as if he had wasted away in long illness; he represents envy. There are two women in attendance to Slander, one is Fraud and the other Conspiracy. They are followed by a woman dressed in deep mourning, with black clothes all in tatters—she is Repentance. At all events, she is turning back with tears in her eyes and casting a stealthy glance, full of shame, at Truth, who is slowly approaching.
Here's a real Russian tear-jerker for you:

Look what crazy thing some of my Swedish buddies did. This is Arthur, everybody.
When an extreme sports team from Sweden undertook a grueling adventure race through Ecuador, the teammates never expected to end up with a fifth member whose story would touch people’s hearts around the world.
Team Peak Performance, an adventure racing team, embarked upon the Adventure Racing World Championship, traversing the Andes, trekking through jungle and paddling on river. At times knee-deep in mud, the team members didn’t have the aid of GPS and were guided only by maps on the 430-mile journey. It was more like, ‘OK, he’s going with us. What should we do?’ We’re like, ‘We need to feed him otherwise he will die,” Lindnord said.
The dog, who they named Arthur, followed them through the rough terrain. When they put their kayaks in the river for the final leg of the race, organizers advised them against taking the dog, so, for his safety and theirs, they tried to leave him behind. Arthur threw himself into the river and started to swim alongside their departing kayaks, Lindnord added.
Deeply moved by the dog’s devotion, Lindnord turned his kayak and pulled Arthur up onto his lap.
“It was like, you know, ‘OK, you’re going with us,’ and that’s how it went,” Lindnord said. When the team crossed the finish line after racing for six days, Arthur was with them. Team Peak Performance ranked 12th overall in the competition that ended earlier this month, but theirs is the story that continues to resonate.
Lindnord, who doesn’t have pets at home, said he couldn’t leave Arthur behind. The dog had to be examined by a veterinarian, and Lindnord embarked upon rounds of phone calls, pleas and paperwork in order to get permission to take Arthur home with the team.
At times, the process was overwhelming.
“And I felt like, OK, if Arthur is putting so much energy to us, he deserves that I put this amount of energy on him,” he said.
A post on the team’s Facebook page said Lindnord “almost cried” when he learned Sweden would accept Arthur, and when Ecuadorian officials gave the application their support, he was able to get the final paperwork and take the dog home, where he arrived last week to a media blitz.

Once upon a time there was a young woman who was traveling in a great forest with a family she served. While the party was traveling in the woods robbers ambushed the party and murdered everyone in sight, except for the young woman. She leapt out of the carriage and hid behind a tree and the robbers did not see her.
She was very sad that everyone had been murdered as she surveyed the carnage. She determined to sit under a tree and stay there and let what happened happen. After she had sat there a while, a white dove flew down with a key. It gave the key to the young woman and told her to use it to unlock a tree the dove indicated. Inside the tree would be enough food that the young woman would not be hungry. The young woman unlocked the tree and found bread and milk.
The girl was tired after this and was determined to find somewhere to sleep. The dove flew down once more with another key. The dove told her to open a different tree. Inside she would find a bed. The girl did open the tree and found a beautiful white bed. There she slept.
In the morning the dove came again. It gave her another key and told her in a different tree she would find clothes. She did this and found the most beautiful clothes. They were set with jewels and gold. The girl lived in the forest for a while. Each day the dove came and gave her everything she needed.
One day the dove came to her and asked her a favor. The girl agreed right away. The dove told her that she must go to a small house where a woman would be. The woman would speak to her, but the girl was not to respond. There would be a door that led to a different room. The girl must go in the other room and there would be many rings in there. The girl was to look for a plain ring amongst all the beautiful rings. When she found the ring she was supposed to take it to the dove as soon as possible.
The girl did as asked. She went to the house. The witch said good day, but the girl did not answer. The witch told her to go away, but she did not listen. The witch grabbed the girl’s gown, but the girl got away. The girl managed to get past the witch and into the other room. There were beautiful rings on a table there. The girl looked through them, but they were all ornate and not one of them was plain. She soon spied the witch, who was trying to get away with a bird cage. The girl followed after her.
The girl took the cage from the witch. There was a bird inside with a plain ring in its beak. The girl took the ring and went back to her spot in the forest. The girl thought the dove would come right away, but it did not. She sat down and leaned against a tree to wait for it. As she sat there the tree softened and twined around her. She was surprised because the branches weren’t branches anymore, but arms.
The tree was now a handsome man who embraced her and kissed her. The man told the girl that she had released him from the curse he had been under. He was turned into a tree by the witch and was able to be a dove for two hours each day. As long as the witch possessed the ring he was not able to turn back into a human. His servants and horses had also been turned into trees, but they were returned to their proper form. They went back to his kingdom, he was a prince, and they got married.
The End

I did meant shouting . Because I was thinking about something happened. Yesterday somebody was suddenly shouting insults at me - me, who he had never even met before; on the street and it was really unpleasant. Just because he thought I put my bicycle on the wrong place, who knows - probably HIS goat died or maybe his guinea pig. Or he lost his canary somewhere. But still, in Sweden we don't kill each others on the streets like Americans do (meaning that only an American can really think anyone would write a thing like that, nobody would think like this here.)

I thought I'd inflict my horrifying photography skills on you! I went fishing near here in Yamanashi during Golden Week a couple of days ago. It was the day after Children's Day, which is normally the last day of Golden Week, but one of the days fell on a weekend this year, so everyone had May 6th off in lieu. There was a hill covered with giant koinobori that we climbed up. The shot is actually much wider (almost 360°), but by the time I got the camera around the wind had died down, so I cut out all the koinobori that were on the right. If I hadn't been chasing four kids around I would have tried to get a better shot. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 00:43, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

Xanthomelanoussprog, I have been told to stay away from Signpost and the editor, unless I go Skype. I simply have nowhere to bring up this issue. And I don't believe in a group editors going off-wiki for discussing issues there; - like the Signpost editorial staff editors - instead of doing it on-Wiki. Also I think text should be rewritten and not copied from articles, too. The main issue here has always been that it is required per Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. But any times the issue was raised:
It was met by incivility by this editor, some diff above; mixed with occasional apologies, and then it was starting all over again, while nobody else took the issue seriously. I did try to discuss this several times, nobody listened. Calling someone ungrateful, unproductive, rude, childish, borderline, full of shit, ridiculous and crazy are WP:Personal attacks. Nobody took the copyvio issue seriously either, nor the incivility the editor reacted with towards me. But it is required per WP:CWW:
Not everything copied from one Wikipedia page to another requires attribution. If the re-user is the sole contributor of the text at the other page, attribution is not necessary. Content rewritten in one's own words does not need attribution. However, duplicating material by other contributors that is sufficiently creative to be copyrightable under US law (as the governing law for Wikipedia), requires attribution.
See at WP:CWW. As stated I did try to discuss this with several occasions, nobody listened. Editor was reacting with increasing incivility when pointed out, escalating more and more, every time. There is no need to gather evidence (here is one), the whole last couple Signpost editions are full with bits and parts of copivio. Last it was me who was the author copied. But it went so far that Signpost chief editors were telling me not to criticize editor but stay away from him. Like here, this, for example, in the current Signpost version is entirely taken from the article Shakespearean tragedy. In the current version is not even a link provided to the article. Is not even linked to painter, nor tho the to right article, King Lear. Some of the descriptions include unexplained terms and generally look taken from somewhere. However providing a link to article is not attribution. Nobody ever discussed anything with me, about the issues raised above. And let's not forget the other parallel issue: the incivility, that erupted with every occasion this was brought up. I was told to discus it on Skype or nowhere. Now the editor was forbidding me to contact him, and the Signpost redaction is going off-Wiki to discuss where I never joined them. The e-mail I enabled for the Signpost-folks, it collapsed and is not working any more. Hafspajen, disruptive editor
One of the most famous paintings of all time? And may I ask why current Signpost Featured content is saying Napoleon Crossing the Alps is one of the most FAMOUS paintings OF ALL TIME?
Some find it stiff and lifeless, proof of David’s ineptness at capturing movement. Some see it not as art, but propaganda, pure and simple. Some snigger at its overblown, action-packed, cliff-hanging momentousness, with shades of “Hi ho Silver, away!” Some have it down as a sort of beginning of the end moment in David’s career, before he officially became Napoleon’s artist-lackey.
And
Copying About copying; At top of Signpost it say: Text may be adapted from the respective articles and lists; refer to their page histories for attribution. It doesn't say: Text may be copied from the respective articles and lists without no attribution. About going off Wiki, WP:EEML
13) All editors are reminded that the editorial process and dispute resolution must take place on Wikipedia itself, using the article talk pages and project space for this purpose. No discussion held off-wiki can lead to a valid consensus, the basis of our editorial process. Off-wiki coordination is likely to lead to echo chamberswhere there is a false appearance of neutrality and consensus.

Can you take a look at these edits? CorinneSD ( talk) 23:52, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
Never heard of him. (Maybe he's related to Monica Lewinski? Ha.) According to Ger. WP, he was from around Radom. Interesting style. Quite a few on Commons. Sca ( talk) 13:46, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I am working on a pet project to help digitize information about the field of metalsmithing+jewelry. I started with making a page for Art jewelry forum (AJF), and have a list of artists that I would like to make pages for as well. The AJF page has been nominated for deletion because it is questioned if the organization is "notable". I am reaching out to you because I saw that you edited some pages that relate to studio craft, and thought you may have an informed opinion (unlike the mathematician who nominated the page for deletion) about whether or not it is a "notable organization". If you have an opinion, one way or another, please way in on the articles for deletion discussion /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Art_jewelry_forum Clarefinin ( talk) 20:23, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
Hello Hafspajen, thanks for your recent edits to the Cultural depictions of dogs in Western art page. I had transferred to that page a number of art pieces from the Dog page and added the link from there to the Cultural depictions page. It is my opinion that if we are going to reflect any art on the Dog page, then representative samples and words should be provided by someone with an eye for it - which I do not - from the Cultural depictions page, rather than have people simply deposit their favourite pix on the Dog page. Please feel free to do with what I transferred as you see fit. If you have a moment, you might like to provide a sentence or two here: Dogs#Dogs in art. Additionally, I do not know if what is currently pictured there is the best reflection, although it is a nice ancient work. Regards, William Harris • talk • 22:32, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
With you NOT plastering people's talk pages with graffiti, I thought I would plaster yours. I bring you He-gassen or Japanese Fart Battles. Now this should be an FA. Bgwhite ( talk) 06:34, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
Hafs, please reconsider, and continue to participate at WP. I've told you before, but I'll tell you again, that your contributions are invaluable and much appreciated by those who can recognize it, ie., your friends, and your presence and delightful comments, images, edits, and assistance are appreciated and enjoyed by many. Don't let one disrespectful editor, and a few clumsy friends, get you down. CorinneSD ( talk) 20:26, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
Hafs, call yourself semi-retired, imo. I wiki-retired a few years ago over similar stuff, but I still come back occasionally to garden in the quiet corners. I hope you do the same. Zeng8r ( talk) 13:47, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
Haffy,
Greetings,
Why the label retired but ? DreamSparrow Chat 10:30, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
By the way, never added any text to that article. Just silly to say so. -- Hafspajen ( talk) 10:32, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
Maybe I shouldn't be, but I am surprised. Xanthomelanoussprog ( talk) 16:07, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
As you may know, one of the contributing editors to Featured Content has unfortunately had to cease contributing. The draft article is in a bit of a state, and I wondered if you would like to edit it. Xanthomelanoussprog ( talk) 17:30, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
