Ahem

Now, look what that stupid bot did. The point is that I did not copied - actually. It could be a simple coincidence. Can you help check this through? I think they copied our previous version from the Wiki, could that be the problem?

Hafspajen (talk) 07:07, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

This sentence: Her mother Cassiopeia bragged that she was more beautiful than Hera, Queen of the Gods and wife to Zeus. To punish the Queen for her arrogance, Poseidon, brother to Zeus and God of the Sea, sent a sea monster, Cetus, to ravage the coast of Ethiopia and the kingdom of the vain Queen. it is from the article.

This sentence is from the blog: Queen Cassiopeia boasted that her daughter was more beautiful than the Nereides, the nymph daughters of the sea god Nereus and often seen accompanying Poseidon. To punish the queen for her arrogance, Poseidon sent a sea monster name Cetus to ravage the coast of Ethiopia.

Hafspajen (talk) 07:35, 8 April 2015 (UTC) The part: I now removed the blog from the references - is wrong. I actually never used it as a reference. Here is the version that triggered the bot. - Hafspajen (talk) 08:05, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

• Okay, I think that's fixed now, Hafs. I'm a little confused though as I think I read somewhere that Cassiope's claim was that Andromeda was more beautiful than the sea nymphs rather than herself? It might be better to double check that? I didn't look at any of your refs. I would also clarify in the text that it was at the wedding ceremony of Andromeda and Perseus where the quarrel took place because it doesn't seem clear at the moment (might just be me that's mis-reading it). SagaciousPhil - Chat 09:03, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

UH? Not according to the British Encyclopedia? . ... Hafspajen (talk) 09:51, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

• hmmmmm ...according to the paining's description: is the Queen saying that. Arr. Hafspajen (talk) 09:55, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

All say mother bragged. , , Hafspajen (talk) 09:57, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

• Theses say mother bragged the daughter was more beautiful. .

Blast them all. The only thing is clear - somebody bragged. Hafspajen (talk) 10:00, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

• Yes, welcome to the world of mythology - everyone tells a different story! SagaciousPhil - Chat 10:06, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, I am familiar with the problem. Anyway, since the PAINTING 'S reference say mother bragged, I go with that version. Maybe mention other versions ... (?) or not.Hafspajen (talk) 10:07, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Dryad

Dryad, check. Added a kind of description, up to you to shake it in shape... Hafspajen (talk) 11:40, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

You can of course remove it or fix it, but I think one can describe things without references. Hafspajen (talk) 12:06, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

A cookie for you!

Cookies are small baked treats that come in a wide array of flavors, shapes, and sizes. Hafspajen (talk) 06:52, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

I am desperate. If I ever should make an article on at least two sentences, I need help. I was reading through hundreds of adds all wanting to sell this painting, but nothing on IT, whatsoever.

• :Was only trying to save this nom. I think this portrait is charming. Hafspajen (talk) 17:50, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

I thought the user was referring to the Signpost

not its user talk page talk→ WPPilot  14:43, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

@WPPilot: I read the edit summary as meaning "stay away" from Hafspajen's talk page, especially as they would not be able to request that anyone should stay away from SignPost, hence my removal of your comment. SagaciousPhil - Chat 14:51, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

No big deal, thanks, I certainly do not want to upset the user any further and really don't understand how this has happened and am disappointed that it just seems to continue. talk→ WPPilot  15:09, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Mind, user was blocked for incivility. Yes, I meant - what Phil say.Hafspajen (talk) 17:55, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Yes, back when my cat died I was a bit short tempered, with another user. Thanks for reminding us about it and my pet of 18.5 years passing, it does still hurt btw and I really really miss her a lot. (and continue) WPPilot

Yeah, there is always an excuse. But there is one difference - if people allow themselves to get it out on another person or not. This way, some might think it is justified to do all kinds of different things just because they are frustrated, like go out on the street and start shooting at people because their cat died. And now I think we let Phil have her page for herself. Hafspajen (talk) 10:33, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
