Jan Olieslagers is the nick for an old hippie (born 1954), slightly mad with aviation, and a bit of an amateur musician. Born and bred in Belgium, I moved to Portugal after retirement in 2022, do my best to learn the language and to make friends, bought a house, stepwise improving on it. Still ever ready for life's next surprise, and curious.
As of 2020, the increase of guidelines, "quality" criteria, civil administration and what not has been much frustrating my motivation for this project. Particularly, the repeated rejection of well-meant efforts of article creation has made me give up any ambition to repeat or continue them. Where has gone the original spirit of "plant a seed, see the growth, encourage sun and rain, assist as needed"? At best, I'll be working on existing articles, but I am much less "hot" than I used to be. A horrible pity, that such a glorious project as this WP is ruined by civil servants who can do nothing better than to tick the boxes on their forms, and refute honest efforts accordingly.
