German?
May I ask you a favour? It would be wonderful if someone with better knowledge of German than me could translate the citation here, the original is on p. 93  in the archive book. Hope everything is fine, Cheers, Huldra (talk) 19:45, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Huldra, the translation of that passage would be: "The antisemites will become our most reliable friends, the antisemitic countries [will become] our allies. We want to depart as respected people." Best, Andreas JN 466 22:38, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot! Cheers, Huldra (talk) 19:20, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks
Hi Jayen, we've never really interacted, but I wanted to stop by to thank you for this post. When I read it I meant to give you one of those invisible "thanks" notifications (but I was too busy!). When later in the day I read your WO blog I was really impressed. You've hit the nail on the head I think. It's strangely comforting to me to realize I'm a "one percenter" (Wikipedian who is a mother) because it explains why I often have difficulty here - mostly because I don't have time to argue endlessly. I'm happy to see that SV's comments about Wikiwand sparked such an erudite spot-on reaction. So, again, thanks. Victoria (tk) 00:04, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I just wanted to add that I read your post on Wikipediocracy about the gender gap, and I thought it was very insightful and thought-provoking. It was refreshing to read something thoughtful on the topic, especially since most of what's been written about it&mdash;both on- and off-wiki&mdash;strikes me as depressing and ignorant. Thanks again for the nice post. MastCell Talk 01:15, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks to both of you. I am really glad you liked it. Andreas  JN 466 01:27, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Wikiwand
Have they responded at all [//meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ALilaTretikov_%28WMF%29&diff=9616164&oldid=9615595 to this] yet? I take it from their apparent radio silence that you are barking up precisely the right tree... and they are stuck in it. It's frustrating that their communication shuts down at such times. I recall the day some twenty years ago that a coworker first showed me Mosaic, and I knew right then that my world had changed. Perhaps this outfit truly has the resources to be a viable fork.

 * Wbm1058, there was no reply on that page from Jan-Bart, and I haven't heard anything further through any other channels either. I did later note though that Jan-Bart's apparent U-turn on WikiWand came a few hours after the public comments on WikiWand made here. It's all a bit odd—who knows what if anything went on behind the scenes there. Best, Andreas JN 466 16:19, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
