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)

I cannot help you restore breakfast, this month anyways. But with any luck, we can bring in some newcomers to balance out the deletionists.

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)

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.

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.

The End

Um, Hafs?

"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? Adam Cuerden 17:16, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Was only provisoric. Don't know where to link that, so I took the article where it figured. Hafspajen (talk) 17:18, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

• OK; took Triple Portrait of Cardinal de Richelieu and dab to Cardinal Richelieu, is that all right, Adam? Hafspajen (talk) 17:21, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

I think it's better to just link the Richlieu part, but I got it. But you can't be talking about the Triple Portrait of Richlieu, and explicitly say you're talking about the Triple portrait of Charles I, obviously. Take it you meant to change the link? Adam Cuerden 17:31, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

It was only provisoric. And forgot to dab. The painting surpisingy doesn't figure anywhere where it is discussed. - what have we done with the EV? Hafspajen (talk) 17:34, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

I wouldn't worry too much. We could always spin out the Charles I in Three Positions section... Adam Cuerden 17:36, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Well, it is not discussed as ... as a painting, actually. Cardinal Richelieu, Cardinals created by Gregory XV, Charles I in Three Positions, Favourite, Philippe de Champaigne.

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 Misplaced Pages 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.

Theme

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.
