Thanks for caring about the spelling of Trinity in today's cantata. It's a quote from old handwriting as sourced, should not be changed. In today's orthography, it would be Trinitatis, and sechzehnten. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:36, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
"Welcome! (and please stop adding nonsense)"
Thank you for quality key service for more than 10 years: welcoming with a side note ("and please stop adding nonsense"), reverting vandalism, adding precision, asking the tumba question, all with the images of various readers in mind, - repeating from 4 August 2010: you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Dear Sluzzelin,
and it's long. I suggest accompanying the reading with the comforting beverage of your choice. Not urgent, really. -- Cheers, Deborahjay (talk) 10:36, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
Hello, Sluzzelin. Yes, it's sad that the Ref Desks are not what they once were. I've taken a much lower profile there for quite some time now. I have no appetite for the seemingly interminable discussions mostly about apparently inconsequential stuff, so I leave that for those with the time and the interest. Anyway, for taking a stand, I hereby award you this.
The Like-Minded Persons' Club | ||
For displaying here common sense and uncommon good taste by agreeing with me or saying something I would have said if only I'd had the presence of mind, I hereby bestow upon you Provisional Membership of the Like-Minded Persons' Club. To qualify for Full Membership, simply continue to agree with me in all matters for at least the next 12 months. (Disagreements are so vulgar, don't you think? And, as Bruce Chatwin said, Arguments are fatal. One always forgets what they are about) |
Happy journey. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 19:07, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
I have reverted a reversion of your comment, made by an IP alleging to be you logged off. If that actually was you, feel free to log in and revert my reversion of that reversion. :) ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 22:01, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
About this, I mean. Some time spent lurking the internet's underbelly netted me the full audio of "The Way it Was", a collection of tracks recorded in July and August, 1970, mostly at a place referred to as "MGM Las Vegas" in the files, though the MGM Grand Las Vegas would be anachronistic. The specific track I had heard was the one done on August 11. Anyway, I wouldn't have found it without your response - so thank you! Matt Deres (talk) 00:22, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
Hello fellow project participants. Not sure how many users are still active as normal Wikipedia editors but felt the need to attempt to get a gauge on who can be called on for help with articles falling under the umbrella of the African diaspora project. According to the project's article table there are over six thousand articles related to the African diaspora; there's not a hundred at FA/GA grade and there's over twelve hundred that are unassessed. With Wikipedia being one of the major information reference points in the world today we should consider this unacceptable. Much work needs to be done on the rating of the importance of articles as well. With more communication amongst participants and a dedication to addressing the articles on the to-do list I believe we can make this WikiProject one of the most well organized and thorough on the site. If you are interested in collaborative work with some of your fellow project members, have certain expertise on any particular subjects, ideals on/about the WikiProject, etc. simply drop your name under the "Project revision" section I've created on the project's talk page and state your intentions and main points of interest in our WikiProject and we can attempt to move forward from there. Hoping to hear from everyone soon! WikiGuy86 (talk) 03:08, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
You don't have the nerve argh? Well, I don't have the covfefe! (And sorry, I also don't know any species like you describe.) Bishonen | talk 19:35, 1 June 2017 (UTC).
I like your style, Sluzzelin. (A name whose source I recognized, when I read your userpage, as ancestral, or at least avuncular, to Schlüsselein. Yeah, see my userpage.) Reading-art! I'm a compulsive reader and my mother was an art teacher, so, yeah. Phenakistoscope! I'm interested in illusions, and as a teenager patented a type of kaleidoscope (never manufactured, patent long expired). Hatnote! I'm listening to Wikipedia as I type— very calming without being boring. And so on. Have a cup of coffee. --Thnidu (talk) 02:47, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
Hello Sluzzelin,
Would you be able to help evaluate the accuracy of translations of Wikipedia articles from German to English Wikipedia?
This would involve evaluating a translated article on the English Wikipedia by comparing it to the original German article, and marking it "Pass" or "Fail" based on whether the translation faithfully represents the original. Here's the reason for this request:
There are a number of articles on English Wikipedia that were created as machine translations from different languages including German , using the Content Translation tool, sometimes by users with no knowledge of the source language. The config problem that allowed this to happen has since been fixed, but this has left us with a backlog of articles whose accuracy of translation is suspect or unknown, including some articles translated from German. In many cases, other editors have come forward later to copyedit and fix any English grammar or style issues, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the translation is accurate, as factual errors from the original translation may remain. To put it another way: Good English is not the same as good translation.
If you can help out, that would be great. Here's a sample of the articles that need checking:
All you have to do, is compare the English article to the German article, and assess them "Pass" or "Fail" (the ((Pass)) and ((Fail)) templates may be useful here). (Naturally, if you feel like fixing an inaccurate translation and then assessing it, that's even better, but it isn't required.) Also please note that we are assessing accuracy not completeness, so if the English article is much shorter that is okay, as long as whatever has been translated so far is factually accurate.
If you can help, please ((ping)) me here to let me know. You can add your pass/fails above, right next to each link, or you may indicate your results below. Thanks! Mathglot (talk) 06:29, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
If you come back from your break check out this project.Thanks!

I didn't want to clog up Joe's talk page, but for clarification what I meant by "answer to me" is that I laid an editing restriction on Joe, so in a sense messing with him without going through the proper channel would equate to messing with me - or more precise, with an editing restriction in place, people need to find consensus first or a block would be overturned because it would be in violation of the conditions set forth for a block. Otherwise, I agree with everything said :) TomStar81 (Talk) 01:30, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

Hey Sluzzelin! I though you might be interested in this recent edit to WP:Reference desk archive/Miscellaneous/2006 September 5#Looking for the title of a children's book. -- ToE 20:36, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
Yes, I agree she should be in jail, so I will desist. But I notice Anders Zorn is missing from your talk page gallery. See Google Images. Definitely worth a look-see. Incredible turn-of-the-century Swedish romantic realist painter. μηδείς (talk) 03:48, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
Sluzzelin, could you possibly have a little look into this? My spidey-senses are picking up all kinds of WP:BLP problems here. For example, the first reference on Ms Brömmel's de article is some person's - maybe her, maybe someone else - tumblr page. Pete AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 11:15, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
(I've written the same message to Mojoworker too about a different article.) Thanks for reverting this article. The user doing this has been doing this for some time now, which I reported to the CVU and at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Nothing has been done about it to date (except for someone trying to hack my account once I reported the vandalism...). If you know of any way of getting someone to take action, please do. I've linked some of the vandalism in the CVU request. -Yupik (talk) 20:40, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
