hello
I would appreciate if you would stop placing holiday messages on my talk page. Me and you have never interacted here on wikipedia to the best of my memory. You are or were Atsme mentor. That just seems meddlesome. I do not wish to seem rude or mean but please do stop.-Serialjoepsycho- (talk) 18:50, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * HM, that was a rude message. Herald, I love the way you lighten up Wiki, make wonderful holiday message templates and lighten up all Wikipedia with your kind and caring ways, just love it and appreciate it! Put any holiday messages on my page you like. Put two.... Put three ... Put any amounts you want! I am sure agrees too. Or any of the users that got these lovely messages! (well maybe -1). Keep up the good work! Hafspajen (talk) 23:23, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * And anyway is not very nice making someone sad who was trying to make something nice. Hafspajen (talk) 03:09, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi there, you must have read the messgae saying to wish just any random person. You are a good editor and I don't know why you do not count yourself (even) as a random person. Just count it and you will agree with me and others. .. Thanks Haffy.. - T H (here I am) 03:16, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't wish to make The Herald sad at all. I think its great that you do this Herald. Wikipedia needs more people like you. However I don't see myself as random because I have common sense. I'm not a random person, I'm not someone you have had a disagreement with, I'm not a good friend, but I am someone who has had a long standing disagreement with someone that you mentor. This is no offense. I don't appreciate the messages due to that. I'm sure, absolutely sure, you did this to bring positivity to this project. Please, kindly to me off your mailing list. Please, kindly cease with the messages. Thank you and have a good day. -Serialjoepsycho- (talk) 03:39, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Metzinger etc.
Hello The Herald. The works of Metzinger are not public domain in their home country until 1 January 2027. Why did you add the Copy to Commons tag on all those images? Am I missing something? Coldcreation (talk) 15:57, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
 * ✅..Drat!! Didn't saw that.. - T H - the fury of nature given flesh 16:22, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Coldcreation (talk) 16:30, 17 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Hello again The Herald. I have a request to make: could you change the name of file "File:Jean Metzinger- Femme à l'Éventail, Woman with a Fan (1912).jpg" to Jean Metzinger, 1912, Femme à l'Éventail (Woman with a Fan), oil on canvas, 90.7 x 64.2 cm, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.jpg. This is a standard format for artworks. I've been uploading images with this format for a long time, and am about to upload a large series of artwork images using this format: Name, date, title, medium, dimensions, location.  If you place a redirect on the image for now that will be fine. I will go through the articles where it appears and change the file name. Thanks in advance. Coldcreation (talk) 17:03, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
 * ✅..But be sure to change the links in the article..Κérux the fury of the nature given flesh 17:10, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Beach 2.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Beach 2.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
