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 - Chat13:57, 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)
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)
Fabulous

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)

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!
Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week, for , as Drmies says, being "a gem" in article collaboration and development, as well as enthusiasm.

Hafspajen, I am pleased to award this medal to you in recognition of your outstanding work creating articles which appeared on DYK. It's especially wonderful that so many of them were art-related, thus elevating the cultural level of the Main Page. Your contributions to DYK, and to Wikipedia in general, are greatly appreciated! MANdARAX•XAЯAbИAM23:23, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

The Userpage Barnstar
Don't know if you've ever received this barnstar, but if not, you certainly deserve it. Your userpage is an oasis of art and whimsy in this sad wasteland of bickering and blather. Zeng8r (talk) 14:15, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
Hafspajen, no one, not even Yngvadottir, will ever surpass you in good faith and good intentions. Thank you for coming back to Wikipedia, and god speed. Drmies (talk) 04:58, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for keeping us cheerful - and for always finding the very best images to illustrate articles as well as decorating our talk pages! Here's some delicious coffee and cake to keep you going ... SagaciousPhil - Chat17:46, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

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)
Thank you for all the lovely images you place on talk pages to help cheer everyone up and all the other nice things you do. You help make Wikipedia a better place. SagaciousPhil - Chat09:46, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
You're welcome! Looking at all the delicious food and drink you've put in the fridge at Bishzilla's pocket has been making me very hungry - maybe I'll have to spend some time in there ... SagaciousPhil - Chat09:54, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
Excellent! - I looked at it yesterday in detail and agree. - Regarding the above: you need to say it loud and stomp on the ground at the same time! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:29, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

The Purple Barnstar
Haven't chatted with you for awhile, and was unaware of the difficulties you've been experiencing. Read through several of them this morning, and am very glad to see you hanging in there. You are one of the more knowledgeable editors I've met on this site. Keep it up. Onel5969 (talk) 16:41, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
I have no idea, don't know the article history intimately. You could speak with the reviewer in the nom, no? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gerda Arendt (talk • contribs)
A barnstar for you!

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)
Bad luck. Well, I can try.... but no need to put up my name, I do this just to help you. I hadn't really noticed as I haven't been editing very much lately. ..Hafspajen (talk) 18:08, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

I honestly tried to find an appropriate image for this but after about half an hour I gave up. So imagine the perfect image here. Softlavender (talk) 01:51, 28 July 2015 (UTC) UPDATE: Found something somewhat applicable.... Softlavender (talk) 02:02, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

I've been remiss in extending a welcome back. It just wasn't the same without you. Onel5969TT me20:37, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

A pav for you
It's good to see you here again, Haffy, whether you want to do a lot of editing or a little. Now that you are sort-of back, I'll have to get to work archiving my talk page, to bring it down to a more-practical length, instead of keeping all the pictures as a memorial to a departed friend.

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. Guys, hacking is illegal, you know. Hafspajen (talk) 18:40, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
Hehe. Or an advanced poltergeist. Marty, I don't belive you. You are not the kind of guy, if you wanted to know anything, you would probably simply asked. Hafspajen (talk) 19:11, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
27 people in 6 years. That's four and a half people a year who fell in the docks and rivers of Swansea and were pulled out by a dog. Is the beer particularly strong there? Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 19:59, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Just to note, I did some additional cleaning on the image - removed some scratches, tears, - and most surprisingly - some stamps and notes at the bottom edge, etc, etc, and uploaded over. Obviously, if the image changes, I need to notify all voters of this fact. Adam Cuerden(talk)19:24, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

True. I'm so put off by global warming & climate change that I tend to romanticize winter, I guess. (I grew up in a cold climate, but where I live now we barely had winter at all last year.) Anyhow, thought it was a cool photo. Sca (talk) 15:14, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
