	I mostly agree with you . My plan was to finish checking my watchlist, which after 3 days is so long that it's nerve-wracking, and then to address that problem by removing many of the unnecessary links that had been removed correctly in the other user's mass removal. Would you mind terribly if I reverted you, promising to do at once what it was my intention to do, now that my watchlist is at ease? --] (]) 20:03, 10 April 2023 (UTC)		I mostly agree with you .

The time has come

Kind words from nice people

It is time for me to step back from editing. It has been an extraordinary 16+ years. My thanks to everyone who has helped, shown kindness and shared so much during my time here. To you (as well as to those who will be happy to see me leave) I wish you well as you continue on with the Misplaced Pages experiment. I will probably pop back in from time to time but any posts made here will not get answered in a timely fashion. I also know that things may change down the road. Cheers to one and all and happy editing whenever possible :-) MarnetteD\|Talk 21:17, 1 January 2022 (UTC) In the immortal words of DA "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish" mmmm fish :-P MarnetteD\|Talk 21:31, 1 January 2022 (UTC) Here's one song to Never Forget, M. Starkiryu64 (talk) 22:13, 1 January 2022 (UTC) I completely missed this until now. Vaya con Dios, MarnetteD, I'm really sad you're leaving, but glad you're doing what you want to do. Here's to things changing down the road. --Floquenbeam (talk) 16:40, 6 January 2022 (UTC) MarnetteD has left? :-( I'll miss you. Bishonen \| tålk 16:48, 6 January 2022 (UTC). What a shame! One of the nicest editors here. You will be greatly missed. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:56, 6 January 2022 (UTC) But you know what they say.... "when an old wiki editor leaves the crease, you never know...." Oh no. You'll be sadly missed. Doug Weller talk 18:01, 6 January 2022 (UTC) Oppose: I'm going to have to open up an ANI filing. We'll see about this! I hope you'll check in on us from time to time, and that life treats you well! DonIago (talk) 18:11, 6 January 2022 (UTC) Saddened to see this, but many thanks for all you've done during your time here! DanCherek (talk) 18:44, 6 January 2022 (UTC) Oh this is really bad news. Thank you for your help, advice and support over the years. Hope to stay in touch. You will be much missed here. Very best wishes, David, David J Johnson (talk) 19:02, 6 January 2022 (UTC) Take care, friend. Hope to see you back sooner rather than later. El_C 00:09, 7 January 2022 (UTC) Sorry to hear this. All the best. Johnuniq (talk) 00:56, 7 January 2022 (UTC) Thank you Starkiryu64, Floq, Bishonen, Martinevans123, Doug Weller, Doniago, DanCherek, David J Johnson, El_C and Johnuniq for your kind messages. It has been a privilege editing alongside each of you over the years. I'm finally getting a chance to see my stack of films released by the Criterion Collection and Kino Lorber :-) I am a sucker for their half price sales so my library had gotten kinda large. Best wishes to each of you! MarnetteD\|Talk 23:38, 7 January 2022 (UTC) You too, MarnetteD. You are the reason why my days are a little bit better. Have a jolly good retirment. Starkiryu64 (talk) 00:47, 8 January 2022 (UTC) I've only just seen this. Your kind notes have kept me sane over the years and will be missed - please visit often! -- Jezebel's Ponyo 23:43, 7 January 2022 (UTC) Thanks Ponyo. I'm glad to have helped :-) Best regards. MarnetteD\|Talk 23:46, 7 January 2022 (UTC) 16+ years of getting paid nothing but beans is quite impressive, not many will stay for that long :) May your retirement be stress-free and full of relaxation. Thank you for all you've done here. I've learned a lot from you. Sro23 (talk) 00:50, 10 January 2022 (UTC) Beans? You've been getting beans Sro23 :-) Were they coffee or pinto - heehee. Thanks for the compliment and for all you work here as well. Best regards. MarnetteD\|Talk 21:52, 14 January 2022 (UTC) Oh, no! You have been one of my role models, MarnetteD. Sending you thank yous for everything I learned from your wisdom. Enjoy your retirement, may it be filled with beauty! Netherzone (talk) 02:29, 15 January 2022 (UTC) Thank you Netherzone. I had several nice editors who taught me how things worked in my time here so I am glad to have passed some of them on to you. I really appreciate your kind message. Cheers. MarnetteD\|Talk 17:35, 21 January 2022 (UTC) Goodbye I'm sorry to see you go, but I understand your reasons. Thank you for all your kindness! It was great knowing you and I wish you the best! --A.S. Brown (talk) 00:20, 5 June 2022 (UTC) Thanks for your kind words A.S. Brown. Seems I can't quite get away completely just yet but I am headed in that direction. I wisah you all the very best in return on wiki and even more so in real life. Cheers. MarnetteD\|Talk 03:49, 11 June 2022 (UTC) Thank you so much! Best wishes! --A.S. Brown (talk) 08:11, 11 June 2022‎ (UTC) Goodbye, MarnetteD. BattleshipMan (talk) 14:24, 18 June 2022 (UTC) Thank you BattleshipMan and best regards. MarnetteD\|Talk 17:35, 21 June 2022 (UTC) I've just seen this. I am sad to see you leave. Thank you for our wikiship, for a lack of a better word, and I wish you the best of luck with your life (: Callmemirela 🍁 15:35, 20 June 2022 (UTC) Thank you so much Callmemirela. For the moment I still pop in once or twice a week and am delighted to see your message. Wikiship is a great word for the kind and good people like yourself that I've met over the years. Whether on wiki or in my dreams I am so fortunate to have shared time with you. Best wishes to you on wikiP and, even more so, in real life!! MarnetteD\|Talk 17:42, 21 June 2022 (UTC) You have a "retired" notice on this page, yet still continue to make edits. Does it mean you changed your mind and just forgot to take that down? If not and you plan on leaving, then farewell and I'll definitely miss you. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 04:12, 3 July 2022 (UTC) Thanks for your note SNUGGUMS. Turns out I do drop in every couple days so I've updated my message. It is going to come to an end at some point though. Best regards!! MarnetteD\|Talk 04:24, 3 July 2022 (UTC) My pleasure, and I'm sure you'll make the most of your time here while it lasts. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 19:17, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

April songs

April songs

my story today

My story today is about the Alchymic Quartet, - I went away from DYK but it's the last one from last year. - The songs are about vacation, continued. - I heard 3 fabulous opera singers yesterday, - one of them has an article of 1 sentence, since 2008 ... - I had heard and worked on the other 2 before, expanded one and created the other. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:52, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

I made an exception from my DYK abstinence for Good Friday, - see my story today. Interesting to compare a hook 2023 style to one in 2012 (see my story today). - I sang, including chorales from Bach's greatest Passion. I recently listened to one by Homilius: a discovery! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:48, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Simply wonderful Gerda Arendt. I hope you have a blessed weekend. MarnetteD|Talk 19:33, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

It feels like it. I managed to add 27 March to the pics, - a hiking day, getting wet --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:08, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

I loved to see Marian Anderson and her story of protest against discrimination by singing on Easter Sunday 9 April 1939 on the Main page yesterday. Impressions of Easter here and music here. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:24, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Re: overlinking

I mostly agree with you here. My plan was to finish checking my watchlist, which after 3 days is so long that it's nerve-wracking, and then to address that problem by removing many of the unnecessary links that had been removed correctly in the other user's mass removal. Would you mind terribly if I reverted you, promising to do at once what it was my intention to do, now that my watchlist is at ease? That would be 100 times easier that searching the whole article. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 20:03, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
