what are you doing?

Why are you ({{db-user}})? No! EChastain (talk) 22:05, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Yes, for a reason. But see comment below when I get there. Victoria (tk) 16:48, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Jean-François Champollion

Hi Victoria, I hate to see you going to rough times - though we all hit them now and again here on wikipedia. I actually came to your talkpage to ask if you might help me out with some copyediting of this article that I have been working on. Might be a good way to a to unstress and feel appreciated again? I certainly would appreciate it in any case. If you're not up for it I fully understand, and wish you the best. I hope to talk to you later at some point.User:Maunus ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 22:19, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Very interesting! Thanks. Victoria (tk) 16:48, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

RETENTION

Recommend that you not retire. If I can hang around the 'pedia, after all the bumps & bruises I've taken over the years? then anybody can. GoodDay (talk) 22:22, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

I actually contemplated re-retiring this morning. Horrifies me that I wasted an entire f*ing day yesterday that I had planned to spend giving my article the last TLC it needed for the FAC nom. Now I'm behind by a few days. I chose to stay because I have a checklist of work I want to finish. I know my re-retirement may come sooner rather than later; I survived just fine with wikipedia for a few years. So I get it...but I hope you find a reason to make it worth being here again. Karanacs (talk) 22:32, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

I hope everyone here stays; the damn drama trolls have to be fought by being dogpiled with numbers and tenacity, as reason and logic have no impact upon them. Besides, who might support me if I run for admin? Montanabw 05:53, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Hope you're not leaving, you're too valuable. Have a break and come back refreshed Victoria...♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:06, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

(talk page stalker)No idea who you are; came here via Montanabw. But same from me: stay! Sometimes Misplaced Pages gives you hard times indeed. All the best, Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 10:41, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Karanacs - yes re wasting a whole f*ing day, or week, or years. Navel gazing at the moment re making it worthwhile. Victoria (tk) 16:50, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Isabeau of Bavaria

Looking for another woman to show in March, I found Isabeau of Bavaria, found next that it is by you, - I am so sorry to see what you had to tell us now. I should have asked sooner if you agreed to nominate her for TFA. Will do and think of you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:23, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Yes please to Isabeau - probably for late in March because I think they're scheduling fairly far in advance. If you need help with the blurb I'll pitch in before it runs. The best pic to use for the blurb is File:Isabeau de Baviere (detail).jpg. Victoria (tk) 16:51, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

done --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:07, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you very much. It wouldn't have happened without you. Victoria (tk) 23:14, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

We are all standing here waiting for you to change your mind

Hafspajen (talk) 14:50, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

• (These days I just agree with Hafspajen, hell or hight water. But 15thc articles dont write them selves.) Whateves. Ceoil (talk) 15:01, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

• RE 15th cent paintings - this book practically fell off the shelf into my arms at the library and I was obligated to bring it home so I'm hopeful there will be work on some 15th cent. pieces before the library wants the book back. Victoria (tk) 16:55, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

• I stand in that same line (not without noting the irony that yesterday we waited for Hafspajen), --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:05, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
• Dont worry Gerda!!! Bring back the much missed Outriggr while we are at it. Ceoil (talk) 15:08, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

... remember that he sent me a thank-you once for He was despised, - difficult case, know him way too little to reach out. Funny, I thought of Messiah today, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:19, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Outriggr was far from diffuicult and FAR from despised. But I do like you articles so snap. Ceoil (talk) 16:03, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

sorry, English difficult ;) - case difficult, not the person, - and not he was despised, - it's just my article redirect, sadly often useful, like WP:Great Dismal Swamp ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:10, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

English are difficult. Hafspajen (talk) 18:19, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

As an Irishman I concur :) Thnks for the explanation Gerarda. Best, Ceoil (talk) 23:00, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the Toni Morrison suggestions

When I need Misplaced Pages help, I feel most comfortable in asking you. — Neonorange (talk) 18:09, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

That's nice of you to say. I'm sorry I keep blanking this page and I hope what I said was useful. Victoria (tk) 23:14, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
