DYK credits

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

Thanks for fixing that, Gareth - it was making my eyes go all funny! SagaciousPhil - Chat 18:46, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

No, I thank you for pointing it out. Much better now — do hope our kind host approves ..(!).. Cheers! — | Gareth Griffith-Jones |The WelshBuzzard| — 18:51, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Forglen House draft

Thanks for adding the pics into the draft for me, Hafspajen, it's very much appreciated! I've a long way to go on it yet but I've managed to find plenty of refs to use. I'm just hoping that once the weather improves - it's a bit wet and miserable today - I'll then be able to get some pictures of the mausoleum, which is in some woodland a little distance from the main house and up a rather rough muddy track. I think to get Drmies to notice (s)he is sitting in the Cultural depictions of dogs article, you might need to link his/her name in the caption? SagaciousPhil - Chat 13:57, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

• Well done of you. Those are very good pics. He is a he, most definitely. Well, I try. Hafspajen (talk) 14:01, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Drat and double drat, I see you noticed the delicate lean on the main house picture? And here I was thinking I could start a new tourist attraction, a bit like the Leaning Tower of Pisa! SagaciousPhil - Chat 16:24, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

• Sorry Phil. It is leaning... a bit like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, yes. But probably the castle is quite verical. But you said that you will go back, and than you can take maybe a new pic? Or - crop this one? Hafspajen (talk) 16:30, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Hafspajen (talk) 20:13, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Well, if my talkpage is like a lump of spaghetti, your talkpage is like... a museum! Cool window, especially.  :-)   Thanks for my pillow-fighters, do you like my caption? I cannot help you restore breakfast, this month anyways. But with any luck, we can bring in some newcomers to balance out the deletionists. About nine inclusionists, for every one deletionist, sounds about right. What are you up to nowadays, besides decorating talkpages with art? 74.192.84.101 (talk) 00:58, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

File:Leshan Sichuan China-Old bridge-02.jpg

We'd need to make it more prominent in the article, but what's your opinion of this? Adam Cuerden 17:02, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Very nice, and a better place is doable. I would cut of just a little - NOT much, just sightly of the foregroung. It would be beneficial for the composition. But I would not touch the reflection in the water and leave quite a bit under the bridge reflection too. Crop off about ... half of the distance between the reflection of the bridge in the water and the edge of the pic as it is now. Hafspajen (talk) 17:08, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

That does cut off the top of the pagoda reflection on the right, though. Is that a problem? Adam Cuerden 21:50, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

I meant that the pagoda reflection should be the last thing seen in water. Not a problem, but it will make the picture closer to the Golden ratio. Hafspajen (talk) 21:54, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Your Russian saint

I fed part of the Russ WP article into Bing and got the following predictably garbled translation, from which you probably could glean enough for a caption.

Míša-Samuil (real name Mikhail Lazarev; 1848 — 23 February 1907)-pereslavsky whacky, revered in orthodoxy as he was canonized a Saint of Yaroslavl diocese.

Mikhail Lazarev was born into a peasant family of Yam, located near Pereslavl. The name "Samuel" added people as monašestvuûŝemu person for his strict Virgin life, after the death of Samuel, priest of St. Nicholas monastery.

With Misha's craziness. An eight year old boy he predicted Moore on the people in his village, and the villagers have demanded to kick him. It has sheltered in his cell, hieromonk Nicholas monastery, Samuel, who was the spiritual father of the boy.

Misha has spent all his life, wandering the city and its surroundings. Often visited Trinity slobodka, liked to be in the House where the beznogogo peasant Simeon Vukolova (now the House of 21).

Does that help? Sca (talk) 15:25, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

• From Google-> Mikhail Lazarev was born in a peasant family Yam village located near Pereslavl. The name "Samuel" added people as monasticism person for his strict virgin life, after the death of Samuel, celibate priest of St. Nicholas Monastery.

Since childhood, Mike took over foolishness. Eight year old lad he predicted plague on the people in his village, and the peasants demanded oust him. Sheltered him in his cell Nikolsky monastery monk Samuel, who became the spiritual father of the boy.

Throughout his life, Misha spent wandering around the city and its surroundings. Frequented Trinity 'Village, where he loved to be in the house of the peasant drunk Vukolova Simeon (now house 21).

I suppose "legless" doesn't mean "drunk"! Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 16:36, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Who knows- probably it does, correct - Hafspajen (talk) 16:39, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

The link for "Trinity Village" leads to a page on it - also known as "Latrine Village" because that's where the monks went to shit. Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 16:55, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Belated Franz

I asked about people who know Russian and Russian history better than me, but I'm afraid Franz Roubaud is rather obscure. Apparently nothing in major Soviet biographical encyclopedias either.

Sorry that I forgot about replying. Better late than never, I suppose. :-| Hope you have a nice jul and all!

Fairy tale time

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.

Houses at Auvers

I answered your call. Added and edited rather much. In that regard, I did not add or move citations when I did the big copy edit. There are also a bunch of lingering implicit questions. Particularly about links to it. Please take a look. Cheers.. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:23, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

That was a lot of work .... And still more is left to add too... I think. Hafspajen (talk) 16:52, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

We could amplify, compare and contrast the three (or more?) Houses at Auvers. This just keeps getting deeper. He was producing almost a painting a day at the end. Talk about frenetic and possessed. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:58, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Yes. He was running away from something. There is rather a lot of information in the references. Shall we pharaphrase more or are we happy? Hafspajen (talk) 16:59, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

It has potential. It also has something to do with his "Northern" images and memories. On the whole, I think expansion is good. Size matters. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:29, 7 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)
