for getting back to me about the WikiProject Sri Lanka Reconciliation. Sri Lanka and what happened there has always been a difficult thing for me. I lived in Sri Lanka - then Ceylon. from 1952 until 1965 and found the Civli war to be a very distressing topic. but on that I would on occasion want to engage in. Anyway, thai you for the update.

Dear sebastian

Sorry ! for my apologize and disturbing to talk with you. According to my knowledge i search the users sockpuppeteers and block list i saw the list of sockpuppeteers and block list i,m really shock. Compared to my accounts actually they are strict rules here in wikipedia. Thanks for reading and worrying about me. Thank you112.207.10.37 (talk) 08:01, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, user from Bucal, no, you're not disturbing me. I was sad when I read the message about your block; would you like to tell me what happened? Would you like to email me? — Sebastian 08:17, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My Reason and Explanation

when I entered the world of wikipedia 2013 I do not even know the rules so many inimical to my account and making deliberately misleading article I deleted it but I left my message on my talk page before I deleted used mfd a day after the block me mike v but is not included in the sock puppeteer list and I do not intend to do that. and I also have an account on wikipedia Tagalog block me there for made because there can not pared and English translated but others are correct. I just deleted my obstacle in Tagalog when I became convinced that remove the blocking me in English. Thank you so much.112.207.10.37 (talk) 15:09, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, user from Bucal! I gather from your message that you believe that you have been wrongly accused of being a sockpuppet. I understand that wrong accusations can be very painful. Because I felt sorry for you, I spent some time trying to find out what happened, and I found that most of your edits were edits like this, where you changed the "CheckedSockpuppet" template with a different template, without any explanation. That looks very bad! I can't see any well-intended reason for these changes. Maybe you were trying to communicate an explanation to me, but I don't understand most of what you are writing. I am therefore sorry that I can not help you. If you want to discuss the sockpuppet accusations, please do so in the Tagalog Wikipedia with someone who understands your language. — Sebastian 16:51, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

February 2015

That is why it 's really wrong and pain in my achievements exaggeration and breaking but I just hope no hardened necessarily don,t be dissapointed even though I was really ugly but trying to me discuss what is right as I realize that the better your help and contribute correctly you do not really own article incorrectly and not even know the rules that still does so sorry but I really. You just take care and not for me to decide decision to be with you it,s ok no problem thanks.112.207.11.141 (talk) 01:32, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your well-meaning and kind words. I wish you health and peace. — Sebastian 03:24, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hast Du diesem Video gesehen? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdPMSd7xA7U μηδείς (talk) 22:07, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Danke, das ist mir wirklich neu! I'm impressed by John Cleese's German; was that really his voice or did they find a voice actor with a similar voice? I don't like the mean-spirited ending, though; it doesn't add anything beyond the "soup à la clown", and if you already understood the menu it's totally gratuitous. — Sebastian 15:49, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, several of the cast of Monty Python spoke more than two languages, and Cleese spoke it well enough that they made (if I remember correctly) two full pilot episodes to try to sell the show to West German TV. These were never broadcast in England. As with Seinfeld, the humor didn't translate well, and the projects were cancelled. Seinfeld is often very subtle, in that they do and say things that might seem plausible but which are very funny to natives. Python is very obvious, but it is often focused on making people look like fools, and might be taken as insulting. I wonder if you have ever seen the show Fawlty Towers by Cleese, and the episode called "The Germans"? It's widely considered one of the funniest TV episodes ever, but deals with Cleese mistreating some German tourists, partially out of his own awkwardness, and partly due to his having been hit on the head. You can see it here at http://www.tubeplus.me/player/924450/Fawlty_Towers/season_1/episode_6/The_Germans/ which may give you pop-ups if you don't have the ad-block attachment for your browser. μηδείς (talk) 19:13, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

... was a 78 rpm of my grandmother's [2]. The B-side was this. Two beautiful works by two incredible composers interpreted by one most remarkable ensemble. ---Sluzzelin talk 23:58, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wahnsinn, was die mit ihren Stimmen machen konnten! Ich verstehe nur nicht, warum sie nicht im Ausland geblieben sind; das wird mir weder aus dem englischen noch aus dem deutschen Artikel klar. Ach, übrigens, bilde ich mir das nur ein, oder hat jemand ihnen auf dem Bild für Night&Day Ringe unter die Augen gemalt? — Sebastian 01:36, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ach, nein, die Ringe sind auch auf File:Ch1930.jpg. Ich nehme an, es war Schminke, um die Augen heller erscheinen zu lassen. Aber leider lässt mich Wikipedia da im Stich: Der deutsche Artikel sagt im Abschnitt Theater nichts darüber, einen Englischen Schwesterartikel hat er nicht, und make-up ist nur eine Weiterleitung zu cosmetics, wo darüber natürlich nichts zu finden ist. — Sebastian 06:37, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Erich Abraham Collin is wearing a monocle :-) The article on theatrical makeup does have a little bit on eyes. Original research, but the musicians possibly hadn't been made-up for black and white photography in that picture, but for a stage performance, live and in color. Depending on one's complexion and the actual hues of eye liner and eye shadow, the effect can appear very different on b&w photos. I don't know the circumstances regarding their first return to Europe. In the film, I think, there were discussions among them, and I think that's when discord started too, but I don't remember it that well. The English article mentions "fearing internment". ---Sluzzelin talk 16:40, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for finding the article theatrical makeup; that, along with your explanation, answers my question. I did read the "fearing internment" part; but that leaves more questions than it answers, and it's unsourced, so I guess I'll ask on the talk page. Anyway, I need to see the film! — Sebastian 00:38, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's worth seeing, though ... well, if you're as annoyingly kitsch-anfällig as I am your eye makeup will be messed up by the end of the movie. It has a good cast, not just the Harmonists, but also Rolf Hoppe (!) Zudem eine au­ßer­ge­wöhn­liche Besetzung: Aus dem Stegreif komm' ich auf keinen anderen Film, in dem ein Geschwisternpaar ein Liebespaar spielt (Meret und Ben Becker). Might be a question for the Entertainment desk! ---Sluzzelin talk 17:55, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In Kinos brauche ich mein Taschentuch nicht mitzubringen, aber Musik kann mich oft zu Tränen rühren, und das kann mir sowohl mit Kitsch als auch mit „kulturell bedeutenden Werken und Leistungen“* pasieren.

Why is there a (!) after Rolf Hoppe? Reading about him reminds me of my father, who also was a baker's apprentice during the war, which reminds me to ask a question at the RD which I've been wanting to ask for years ... See you there! — Sebastian 21:28, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Hoppe. He's a bit of a Geheimtipp of mine, already before I had seen Mephisto. He was the one redeeming actor in a really mediocre film I don't wish to name here, and that was the first time I noticed him. He is quite amazing! (without parentheses). As 16-year olds, my best friend and I had the opportunity to interview the director of said mediocre film, and the only questions I asked were about Hoppe. ---Sluzzelin talk 21:47, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, funny, did the director react annoyed? — Sebastian 22:13, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

He was hung over. Nuff said. ---Sluzzelin talk 22:17, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK, ich sag's nicht weiter. :-) — Sebastian 22:59, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I saw your post on our Village Pump, but I don`t understand for which song you talk about. Can you tell me at least a name of the poet and I can help you. Du kannst auch auf Deutsch mit mir sprechen :) --Ehrlich91 (talk) 19:28, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo Ehrlich91, danke für deine Antwort! In meinem Notenblatt (Shawnee Press, Nashville, Nummer A2334) ist kein Textdichter angegeben, da steht nur "Macedonian Folk Song". Hast Du meine Notiz auf Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Republic of Macedonia#Татковина gesehen? Dort habe ich den ganzen Text, so wie ich ihn interpretiere, abgetippt. Hilft das nicht, das Lied zu identifizieren? Aber mir geht es in der Hauptsache gar nicht um die Identifizierung, sondern nur darum, die Schreibweise und Aussprache richtig hinzubekommen. — Sebastian 20:52, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, gut. So hier ist das Lied. Ich habe einige Fehlern und Buchstaben gewechselt und das war alles. Viele Grüße --Ehrlich91 (talk) 07:06, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ми подари пролетта сонце
јас насмевка нежна ѝ пратив
а сега во срцево мое
љубовта нежна се класи

татковино поле сирно
мир во света гора
татковино поле росно
љубовта е моја

Vielen Dank! Wird das alles wirklich so gesprochen, wie es geschrieben wird? Also zum Beispiel "мое", nicht "моје"? Das wundert mich, da die andere Form (Genitiv?) "моја" heißt. — Sebastian 15:38, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ja, alles ist in Ordnung und alle Wörtern in das Lied sind richtige und still gesprochen, obwohl ich finde, dass dieses Lied 50-60 Jahren alt ist. In Mazedonisch haben wir nur maskulin, feminin und neutrum Genus, so das "мое" ist um neutrum ("моје" ist im Serbisch) und andere Forme "моја" und „мој“ sind mit "j" bevor das Vokal. --Ehrlich91 (talk) 18:02, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please dump them in Wikipedia:Donated artwork/List of articles needing images/Holding pen if you can. Many thanks. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 17:50, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's some fine pruning. :)

Please know that I am not a fan of anything Kardashian. I added that item only because of the roughly 50k hits and its possible appeal to artists. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 18:10, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, I notice that you're not saying that about adding Kim Jong-un, Joaquín Guzmán, and Robert William Fisher. Does it mean you're a fan of them? — Sebastian 18:21, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ha ha ha. No. :) I added those three because they're interesting. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 18:36, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your concern: Yes, it is quite likely that there will be some people who disapprove of the initiative. In that case, there are two possibilities:

1. We see value in their concern that is significant enough to endanger the initiative. Then that still would be useful information. If we find a workaround, great! If we don't, and the problem prevents the initiative from flying, then we'll stop it and move on. Of course it will hurt in the moment, but it's better in the long run. In either case, it's better we are aware of it sooner rather than later.
2. We disagree on the value of their concern. Then I don't think they can stop this initiative. There is nothing illegal about sending private e-mail. In the worst case you'll just have to include the welcome page in the mail. — Sebastian 19:06, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If people raise objections, I say deal with that then. I've been email for images for years and nothing bad has happened. I don't harrass them and they are usually happy about things. Let them MfD the project if they like. We're helping the project in good faith and not breaking any laws. By the way, the welcome page is linked in the outgoing email.

Excellent, Naraht, that looks great! I am feeling tempted to turn your code into a template, which by itself would be relatively easy to do. However, that sort of thing easily can grow and take far more time, especially when others may have different ideas how it should work. I am right now in the claws of one such experience, which started yesterday and which has already taken many hours, so that I have to cut my other Wikipedia engagements now. — Sebastian 19:59, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rauniyars of Nepal is only of Nepal not of India and it covers Nepal. Why you speedy deleted the article . Please remove that — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adriot.ar (talk • contribs) 09:20, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

can you undelete as it was talking about the history of railroads in Bolivia and was not the same as – Rail transport in Bolivia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rigsofrods (talk • contribs) 10:48, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm tempted to give the common cheap answer to such questions: "Yes, I can, but I won't". But I understand that you mean this as a request, not a question. Still, I see no reason to comply with your request. You write that it's not the same topic, but it clearly is a subset of the topic. History is already covered throughout the Rail transport in Bolivia article.

Moreover, you already have a huge task at hand with Draft:Customs of ancient Egypt, another article that you created apparently with machine translation. I saved that one because it has more potential of becoming a worthwhile article. But so far you have done only two minor edits on that article. I have not seen you take a serious interest in the topic. I need to see you actually bringing at least one article to "Start" quality before I can trust that you won't just leave a trail of bad quality stubs behind you. — Sebastian 17:04, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I guess i will try to fix the Customs of Ancient Egypt and maybe once i am done i might put the history stuff form the Rail transport in Bolivia article to the History of railroads in Bolivia — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rigsofrods (talk • contribs) 22:05, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's the spirit! I see you already started doing this in earnest now. Again, I would encourage you to turn to WikiProject Ancient Egypt. They can help you there, and they can decide whether the article is ready to be published - or whether it is a needed at all. Likewise, I will refer to the judgment of WikiProject Trains whether a separate "History of railroads in Bolivia" article is needed. — Sebastian 01:22, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
