Fájl:Map of the Kingdom of Galicia, 1914.jpg
This map is wrong, hights are coded with mistakes. Actual hights are generally much lower than those explained. --peyerk (talk) 07:58, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Re: Chinese quote
Hi Lotje, sorry for this late response, I tried to translate that, but might not be exact:

"One day, Hanshan (a buddhist) asked Shide (a buddhist), saying: people in the world defame me, bully me, insult me, laugh at me, despise me, hate me, deceive me... how should I do?

Shide answered: You would better endure him, concede him, excuse him, avoid meeting him, tolerate him, respect him, not listen to him... after a few years, you will see what kind of person he becomes."

This dialogue is from a buddhism book Book of Hanshan-Shide. I personally think this dialogue teaches me how to regonize myself through controversial topics -- concentrating on your working (e.g. editing articles) instead of being fully impacted by the other's criticisms (e.g. their political tendencies). -- Walter Grassroot  | talk  10:14, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the translation, very wise words indeed. I do not quite understand, are you concentrating on my working? Lotje (talk) 15:48, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
