	A Polar bear swimming for you! Hafspajen (talk) 09:59, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Sometimes I put a number that is ahead, to say, I will be there soon. And I will, promise. And by the way, I don't like nr 558. I like 554 better. And when I will eventually pass that number, I will keep that anyway, because I like it better. Hafspajen (talk) 17:18, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

• So it wasn't a lie, if that's what you meant. Hafspajen (talk) 17:19, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

• No, no, I did not mean it was a lie, it is just that by being curious on the number of edits I made, going to the preferences section on my userpage, I noticed the difference. That is all. The thing is, I did not want to be on that list and was convinced my # of edits would by hidden by means of the [placeholder], but because that is not the case, I try to understand. Lotje (talk) 17:34, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Here is the list. But I think I saw you on it somewhere. Anyway, now you are on this list- here.- Hafspajen (talk) 18:10, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

• 555 - Hafspajen (talk) 10:35, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

• Nearly there then. Lotje (talk) 14:20, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

• - 548 - but I like 554 - so I stick with it for a while. Hafspajen (talk) 19:32, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Assisted suicide

Nice work there. Just a heads up: I see that Exit International is missing from the list of organisations supporting assisted suicide. Ratel (talk) 04:01, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Ratel, it is in the Ethanasia template under Groups. btw, did you know ratel also means ratchet ? Lotje (talk) 10:44, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

7 (disambiguation)

Entries are only added to disambiguation pages when there's a WP article to link to. Is "Number 7" brand of cigarettes mentioned on a page or in a list? If so, then please replace it on the disambiguation page but make a link to where it is mentioned. (eg "Number 7, cigarette brand from Totally invented tobacco company", where that's a blue link not red and "Number 7" is listed on its page as one of its brands. PamD 09:27, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi, PamD, this is the page where I got it from. Lotje (talk) 09:36, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

I see it there - I'd say it's at the lower edge of acceptability for a dab page link, as it's difficult to see how usefully to phrase the link. But without a link, as you added it, it's certainly not a valid dab page entry - dab pages are to help readers find articles in WP, not just a dictionary of meanings for the word being disambiguated.

"Bare reference" modifications

Hello Lotje, in your recent edit summaries you claim you're filling in bare links. But the articles on Metzinger and The Cubist Painters had no bare links (the Zadkine article had one or two real bare links). In the process of converting one manner of reference citation to the template you use, much information is lost, and creates a messy reference sections, with errors and unneeded words. I've already returned The Cubist Painters to its former state, and will soon do so with the Metzinger article. See Wikipedia:Citing sources. The way these articles references were listed before your intervention is perfectly acceptable. Coldcreation (talk) 11:26, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Lotje is this you? User talk:Hafspajen is a dikhedd. If yes, please stop. Hafspajen (talk) 14:12, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

No Lotje (talk) 14:17, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

• I wonder. Hafspajen (talk) 14:27, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Why do you wonder? I would never react that way. Lotje (talk) 14:29, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Lotje, I think this was not you, but unlike our gloomy Scandinavian colleague I always see the glass as half-full. By the same token, you do have a habit of showing up in articles that Hafspajen has either mentioned or edited (here, for instance), and since there seems to be a bit of friction between you two, it is not a good idea to follow Hafspajen's edits and edit those articles, even if you see things that you think need fixing. It may give the wrong impression. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 15:54, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Oh, I was not aware of the fact there is any "friction" between me and Hafspajen. Thank you for letting me know . I will remove his username from my watchlist in order not to get tempted. Lotje (talk) 15:57, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

1950–51 Ashes series

Hi, on 1950–51 Ashes series your [1] broke the image (it showed up on Category:Articles with missing files. You renamed a file, however now neither the old or new file appear to exist? I'm not sure what's happened or how to fix so I thought I'd just point it out and hopefully you can fix? Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 23:04, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Fixed!. Lotje (talk) 05:00, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
