Battle of Lepanto

Hello Peter
You probably remember Daufer and his major edit on Battle of Lepanto's infobox, which we both did not agree with. Both you and I left him messages on the battle's talk page. He did not respond. Shall we continue to take it up against him?

WP:FOUR RFC

There are two WP:RFCs at WP:FOUR. The first is to conflate issues so as to keep people from expressing meaningful opinions. The second, by me, is claimed to be less than neutral by proponents of the first. Please look at the second one, which I think is much better.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 07:19, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Swedish translation

Hello. I was on Misplaced Pages:Translators available and notice that you were on the list for Swedish to English translators and wondered if you could translate sv:Gustav av Sachsen-Engern-Westfalen as Gustavus of Saxe-Lauenburg or Gustav of Saxe-Lauenburg? Thank you.--The Emperor's New Spy (talk) 18:47, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

There you go. What a tragic character...
Peter 14:19, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
Thanks. Would you mind creating the short one for his son?--The Emperor's New Spy (talk) 16:38, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
No, not really. I don't mind the occasional favor, but I don't care much for stubby biographies on obscure nobility of minimal notability. You don't need a Swedish-speaking human translation for this kind of text. Google translations are of high enough quality for you to convert it into proper English.
Good luck.

Your page move of Blackwater fire of 1937

How about the next time you decide to move the title of a Featured Article to a new title you first have the courtesy to discuss it on the article talkpage...I have moved it back to the original title.--MONGO 23:15, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

No, thanks. I prefer not to spend time and talkpage space on easily reverted formalities, regardless of article status. If you feel the need for one, though, be my guest.

Disambiguation link notification for January 30

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Galley, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Ram and Phoenician (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, you mispronounced the first syllable. The first syllable should be pronounced with a rounded . 166.48.189.93 (talk) 23:12, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Moreover, you pronounced it with the third tone, which is not correct.--2.245.126.182 (talk) 19:53, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

Well

Pete, I wonder if it is possible for you to put some kind of This user have left the Swedish wiki - at least for a good while template - I really don't want to do that myself. I was thinking about all this now for a while, and I came to conclusion that it is best so. As it is now nothing constructive happened, people are just angry and upset and nothing really keeps me there anymore. One needs to feel joy and satisfaction to be able to do all that work, which is as you know, not paid; totally voluntary and nobody can really force you to do it. It is essentially about freedom, self-determination and independence to chose to contribute to Misplaced Pages or not. And I just don’t feel unrestricted now. I feel my free choice and sovereignty was somewhat constrained. Maybe I really don't fit in there. I am afraid if I do this myself some guy will go and take it off. It is no good when one needs to be afraid not to be able to edit your own talk page for fear that someone will come and interfere. Hafspajen (talk) 20:25, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
It's sad to hear that you feel this way, really. I'm upset about this situation myself and I've tried to convince others of the problem, but to no avail. I've been in similar disputes on Swedish Misplaced Pages, and I can certainly understand if you'd rather not deal with all the drama and gratuitous proscriptions. I wish that Swedish Misplaced Pages could be more tolerant and accepting of harmless individualism and the good-hearted trams that we all need sometimes.
Regarding your request, sv.wiki really doesn't have a template for semi-retirement, but what would you say about the following suggestion?
