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

Woo Hoo

Great to see True at First Light on the main page - congrats! Also glad to see you popping up on my watchlist again, all the best, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 02:47, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OMG! Thanks for letting me know. I had no idea! Truthkeeper (talk) 02:50, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats on that and the star...Modernist (talk) 02:57, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks M. Sorry about all the recent stuff - I've been overwhelmed at work and it spilled over here, but almost to the end of it. Thankfully. I'm a little stunned about the TFA, but haven't seen it on my watchlist, so that's good. Truthkeeper (talk) 03:02, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

One of "my" covered bridge articles was TFA a few days ago and got relatively little vandalism. Maybe the vandals are all out knocking over snowmen and tearing down Christmas / holiday decorations ;0) Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 03:05, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's interesting. I hadn't even noticed that it was flagged for TFA and I have been checking in when I have time - must have fallen down on the watchlist or something. "Your" bridge is nice. As much as TFA is sometimes annoying, it is nice to have affirmation for work done. And I hate to admit, but one of the things that keeps bringing me back is wanting to keep improving pages, frustrations notwithstanding. I think the lesson learned is to stay away when real life becomes too busy and work here stalls. Anyway, I hadn't planned to tend a TFA and still have some work to finish, so off now.

Nicely done. Kudos. :) Kafka Liz (talk) 06:03, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Congratz on the Hemingway article. Glad to see you're still around!Smallman12q (talk) 23:49, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

TK, my read is that over the last few weeks you fought the good fight, and in a number of fouras, but reason and sence are not always in the majority. That has to be accepted and we have to live with it and move on. Those with sliding scales of ethics will always win because they are essentially solipsists, and can shift and bend their position as suits. Whereas you were defending a belief and a convicton. You, me and Maneus all ended up in the same places, exhasparated, too close to the fire. We need to find perspective, and remember only content matters; there are rotters in every walk of life, and they are all best ignored and forgotten.

DYK for The Letters of Vincent van Gogh

On 16 December 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article The Letters of Vincent van Gogh, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that poet W. H. Auden said of the letters of Vincent van Gogh "there is scarcely one ... which I ... do not find fascinating"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Letters of Vincent van Gogh.You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
