- I brought an image of two women to the Main page, DYK? ... after the article of one was proposed for deletion? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:58, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: Shouldn't that be four years? (Although I will gladly accept six as I was indeed fighting vandalism with music in 2014!) —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 13:13, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
- You are right, but I'll leave it ;) - Six is the template, DYK? I forgot to change. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:59, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

- @Donner60: Danke! We haven't interacted in a while, good to see you're still alive after this carnival ride. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 16:03, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks. Strangely enough given lockdowns, I was a little less active, at least in terms of edits, earlier this year. I did create some articles and add to my online library pages which accounts for some of that. Glad to see you are safe and active. Donner60 (talk) 23:17, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
Merry Christmas, K6ka!!
