Can somebody take a look at this? It looks like Eric wrote a fine small encyclopedia article, and has then intermittently battled with random IPs adding unsourced original research. Obviously now Eric's blocked, the IPs are going to win and make the article worse, and I don't really know much about the topic to help. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 14:22, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

Dont worry about it, several Admins watch this page hoping desperately that Eric will give them a reason to block him, now that isn’t possible, I’m sure Sandstein and his mates will be more than happy to improve that article. They like nothing more than writing pages and improving the encyclopaedia, especially so, now that their lives must feel so pointless. Giano (talk) 22:23, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

Wildflowers

My little contrib to the day is Alte Liebe, - please pass some wildflowers to your wife! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:12, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

....and when we’ve finished smelling and admiring our flowers perhaps some might like to read The Magic Shop, an excellent page and one we don’t seem to have here. Who on earth could have written it? Giano (talk) 22:29, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

Engole also seems have acquired this page, another one which we don’t appear to have here. Perhaps someone should quickly copy it; it may earn them a barn star, or perhaps even an Adminship. Let’s face it, many admins have written far less. Giano (talk) 22:32, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

And there was me feeling worried I'd only written two GAs this year so far.... Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 13:22, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Engole could do with upping its dose of English medievala :) ——SN 54129 13:25, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Actually we've had Fancy pictures since 2008, bearing a considerable resemblence to the engole... I've moved it to the singular and added a little. Johnbod (talk) 15:42, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

... today's Alte Liebe became especially meaningful after yesterday's funeral. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:22, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
