Gidonb is busy in real life and may not respond swiftly to queries.

Now to add Palestinian culture/history/etc in the near future (I hope). My turn to see what I can dig up from that great city on the other side of the wall. Well done, very nice work. Ramallite ^(talk) 20:50, 17 February 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Shukran ya Ramallite. I really appreciate it. There is room for much more information in the article. gidonb 21:48, 17 February 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

balance
Thank you, Gidon, open for many languages, for quality articles on a wide spectrum of topics, such as International Society for Contemporary Music, Moroccan Wall and Dora van der Meiden-Coolsma, for the correct Netherlands, for dispute resolution, consensus building and "creating a first or better balance in many articles", - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

On 2 January 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Line the Label, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that so many people wanted a Line the Label jacket that the company's server crashed? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Line the Label. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, ), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thanks for your post at the AFD G. Many years ago they changed the "D" from deletion to discussion. I liked that because it meant we could be open to something being done to improve the article. I am glad you gave some thought to a redirect as well. I appreciate your input so I hope you enjoy these. They can be a bit sticky but my sweet tooth has taken a liking to them. Best regards.

		A kopstoot for you
		Here is a kopstoot for all the drama in your history. I couldn't find any Jenever on commons, so you have to mix it with a whiskey. I assume the effect will be similar.

Thank you, User:The Banner. In my early childhood we used to get our bakery and dairy products delivered with these cars. Sometimes I would get a ride. gidonb (talk) 11:28, 16 October 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Our milkman had such a car/cart. And many, many, many moons later the husband of a friend had an SRV-wagen from this brand. So, good memories. The Banner talk 12:29, 16 October 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
