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! — &#124; Gareth Griffith-Jones &#124; The Welsh Buzzard&#124; — 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)

Musical snow globe Snow globe-3rd, 7th and 9th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. 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)

We'd need to make it more prominent in the article, but what's your opinion of this? Adam Cuerden (talk) 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 (talk) 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)





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!

Carl Haag
I see you edited this page back in January. I was just checking him out, as I was standing next to a dealer this morning who bought one of his for over £2,300. He was bidding against a telephone bidder. It was The Old Inn at Gennazzano. I was surprised as I'd never heard of Haag. Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 13:32, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, he is rather good. Your art collection is still not complete? Thought you succeed by now to clear the art market and pinch every available art item  on sale in whole Great Britain....  Hafspajen (talk) 13:40, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

As you may know, one of the contributing editors to Featured Content has unfortunately had to cease contributing. The draft article is in a bit of a state, and I wondered if you would like to edit it. Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 17:30, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

Cards on the table
'''OK; people does anyone knows how to get rid of a hacker? ''' No, I am not imagining things. Programs are getting installed without I ever installed them, Windows is installing strange features and changes, all by itself, things move around, tabs are closed without me doing that. Hope i will be able to finish this message without anyone closing the tab. --Hafspajen (talk) 12:58, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * OOPS, tabbs messing around again. It started like a couple of month ago, around April and I kinda left. When I again resumed my regular Wiki activities, and here we go again, it started rather massively again. It's not normal that the control panel is opening all by itself, that several tabs are opening and closing all by itself, time to time, clicking and clicking... and things that are moving around when you don't touch them. Pages started to open and close all by themselfes on my computer, and I never touched it at all, all by themselfes. No, things are not moving around all by themselfes, that's not a virus. A virus is not editwaring with you all day on what picture you should have on your background screen, changing it and  putting different ones in. Things dong go crazy like that all alone. And later everything dissapeared and  it turned pure  BLACK  all the time. Of course is hacking. It's just silly, because I don't have enemies in real life and there is nothing anyone would want to know about me or do things like this to me (in real life). I presume it is aiming towards to make me stop editing Wiki, or making editing unpleasant. I guess. Any ideas are interesting, how to make it stop, - except more hacking.
