wikibreak

Pdfpdf is on an extended wikibreak, and could probably be considered to be "semi retired".

However, he will be notified via email of any edits you make to this page, and will eventually respond to them (if a response is necessary).

He retired from full-time work in 2018, and after a concerted 6 month spurt of feverish activity on Wikipedia, decided to get a life.
(Don't you love it when people talk about themselves in the third person? Not?)

He fondly remembers his (surprisingly) many wiki-friends, and thanks them for their support!

Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 13:47, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

Always precious

Ten years ago, you were found precious. That's what you are, always. Enjoy your break! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:47, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Thank you my dear.

Fondest regards!

Image source problem with File:TDUblonde1.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:TDUblonde1.jpg.

- I uploaded it 14.5 years ago!

This image is a derivative work, ... While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, ... so the overall copyright status is unclear.
Thank you. Minorax(talk) 12:59, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

Errr. It does state who. (Please get your facts straight before you start throwing stones.) Errr. No it isn't unclear. Pdfpdf (talk) 13:42, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

BTW: It hasn't been a problem for 14.5 years. Why is is suddenly an URGENT problem now? Pdfpdf (talk) 13:26, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

== Speedy deletion nomination of Deadlink ==

Hello, Pdfpdf

Welcome to Wikipedia!

I wanted to let you know that I have tagged an article that you started, Deadlink, for deletion because it seems to be incoherent gibberish. If you want to practice editing-skills, please use the sandbox.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Significa liberdade}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Significa liberdade (talk) 20:18, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

(talk page stalker)

@Significa liberdade:, the edit in question was the creation of a redirect on 26 August 2009, which was valid at the time, with the target page itself subsequently being redirected. I take it that this inappropriate notice was apparently autogenerated by the Page Curation tool which was triggered by your use of the "speedy deletion-nonsense" criterion, rather than by you placing it here. I note that your nomination for deletion of the redirect was later reverted, as discussed on your talk page, but without any deletion of the message on this very experienced editor's talk page. This makes it a bit difficult for uninvolved editors to follow what has gone on, so I've struck it out. Bahudhara (talk) 05:11, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

ArbCom 2023 Elections voter message

Hello! Voting in the 2023 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 11 December 2023. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2023 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:27, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

It's been a long time

Hi Pdfpdf, it's been nearly four years since the last Adelaide meetup! Would you be interested in taking part, if one is organised some time in the New Year? Cheers, Bahudhara (talk) 05:20, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
