Warning: I always edit in good faith, therefore do not revert any of my edits without first talking to me about it. I will consider any revert of my editing without attempting to establish a dialogue with me to be an act of hostile aggression, and the action will be immediately reported.

Feel free to leave a comment here.

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't use other people user pages as their talk page as you did with User:LM2000, thank you. ^{(talk page stalker)} CrashUnderride 12:37, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I did remove the paragraph you were concerned about, I didn't notice it before. Don't be afraid to be WP:BOLD and remove other vandalism you see in the future.LM2000 (talk) 18:08, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Just dropping a line to say hi :)

Hi!

Hope all is ok with you :)

I started some work, but as i am partially disabled it takes everything to just do that and keep alive lol, so very little time for Wiki for another year or so.

It helps to take a break from Wiki every now and again, but i feel like a stranger nowadays :(

Glad to see you are still about and hope all went well with the new house after the move!

Thanks for the greeting, CD! I and my family are doing well - my son is now in 6th grade. I am currently working with another person on a graphic novel - I'm doing the artwork, and she the writing. She has already published many books, and one of the series she has written is the basis for this graphic novel, which is something she has never done before. For me it will mean that I am going to have a published book that will help me immensely should I try to publish another. The novel takes place in medieval northern Europe, but other than that I cannot say at this point. Needless to say, though, I will certainly be busy for the next year or so... Thanks again for your letter! --Saukkomies ^talk 11:34, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! I saw that you redid some translation on Furillen. Unfortunately you got it all wrong. In Swedish pines can be called both "tall" and "fura", "fura" being the old word for these trees. Please see the Swedish aticle Tall where this is cleary stated in the first sentence. The English word "fir" has nothing to do with these trees even if they sound similair. I will undo your edit so that the species will be correct once more. It is always best to check the article in the native language if you are uncertain what a word means.
