Your recent edits

  I had to revert one of your recent edits to Fenerbahçe S.K. as you did not explain why you removed the content fro the article. We know that it was done in good faith, and I hope this does not discourage you from editing Wikipedia. Again, welcome. hmssolent\You rang? ship's log 12:05, 15 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

The interwiki's are now on Wikidata. The ones on the article are about the football-team, not the sports club. --Sjoerddebruin (talk) 12:30, 15 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
Restored your removals. Thanks for the HU. hmssolent\You rang? ship's log 12:51, 15 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi Sjoerd, would you please explain your rationale for this edit here? Thx, Jane (talk) 12:28, 31 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

The image has nothing to do with the "subject", that is also a messy surname page to be honest. I thought those pages were for navigation? Sjoerd de Bruin (talk) 12:31, 31 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
Why do you feel the image has nothing to do with the "subject"? In this case the subject is the surname, and the name has a meaning in Dutch, which is illustrated by the illustration you removed. Removing the visual link and keeping the audio link seems inconsistent, but I also don't see the problem with illustrating the concept of the meaning of the name. So in summary, I don't agree that the image is inappropriate and find it in fact highly appropriate as it illustrates two meanings of the concept behind the name. Navigation can be triggered visually as well as textually. Jane (talk) 15:09, 31 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

You flagged this page that I recently created because of multiple issues. Has the further work I've done on it addressed your objections?

Thank you!

I have made additional edits to this entry and added new information. I've also removed the flags you added a year ago. I hope this meets with your approval. BTW, I did not in fact start with a rough translation when I created this entry.

Thanks!

This includes the ability 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, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

't Spijt me

Beste Sjoerd,

Het spijt me oprecht dat ik een (te) felle reactie van je heb uitgelokt in de Nederlandse kroeg. Je gaf te kennen het niet goed te vinden als iemand in plaats van de knop "kopje toevoegen" handmatig == <§-titel> == toevoegem, wat in veel gevallen efficiënter is als je de § ervoor ook aan het bewerken bent. Waarom teruggan naar de top van soms hele grote pagina's? Ik was in de veronderstelling dat je het knopgebruik wilde verplichten, omdat je handmatig onduidelijk vindt. Daar heb ik ten onrechte "niet snappen" van gemaakt. Om daar nu zo'n schuttingwoord als voorvoegsel aan toe te voegen ging mij dan weer iets te ver en heb op je OP geschreven een afzetting te overwegen bij herhaling van mij zo op de letter vast te pinnen, gesteund door zo ongeveer alle collega-mods van je. Wil je me alsjeblieft niet zo vaak meer "dwingen" verduidelijking te vragen op je OP en al helemaal niet meer mijn vkucht tot het achterkamertje te bewerkstelligen? Dan kunnen we beter samenwerken, zoals we laatst op Wikidata deden. Je doet zoveel goed werk voor diverse Wikiprojecten. Laat daar je niet helemaal volmaakte sociale vaardigheden geen belemmering zijn. Dan gaat het helemaal goedkomen ook tussen ons beiden onderling. Sans rancune (?),  Klaas `Z4␟` V 08:28, 17 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Why did you revert?

As a general rule, parents should know account passwords in case the editor gets locked out. Also, even though parents are never going to edit, parents may want to see what s/he has been editing, and cut down on the editing. UpsandDowns1234 21:45, 22 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Is there any consensus for such a sentence to be added? Sjoerd de Bruin (talk) 21:46, 22 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Roar revert

Yeah, my bad, I mistakened "Roar" for "Part of Me", the latter of which was the acoustic rendition, not the former. Thanks. PatTag2659 (talk) 12:06, 5 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
