Thanks for your greetings and sweets, Kim! If there is something like a national sweet in Portugal, that will be the 'Pastel de nata' (cream tart). The ones I'm leaving at your door are considered the very best in Lisbon. Believe me, they are delicious! A wonderful New Year for you and your family, my friend! -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 20:14, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
I feel deeply honored to receive the very best sweets in Lisbon at my door step. Thank you, my dear Commons friend! --Slaunger (talk) 21:13, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
Greetings from Venezuela!!! I could not reply to your greetings earlier because I was traveling. Did a pretty awesome trip to a place in amazonas, 100% out of civilization contact! I might nominate some pictures from my trip, but in a very long time, since now I have to reveal more than 24Gb worth of photos!!! I'm glad the Upernavik file got promoted, since we did a nice group job!!
As for your greetings, it was very nice of you to show me some of your typical christmas sweets, since I love to learn about other cultures. When I have the time to get the ingredients I'll give it a try! :D
We do not have typical christmas sweets that I recall, but we do cook some other stuff, like pan de jamón, hallacas, torta negra, and others. I sent you the link to the pan de jamón file, with the description in it. Oh, and we do drink a lot of beer and whiskey at the years eve lol!
Hugs and cheers to your family and daughter, I sincerely wish you all the best for 2012!! Now let's enjoy the end of the year! Salud (cheers)!!!
That is exciting news, Paolo! I will be looking forward to seeing your Amazon photos. And thanks for the Pan de jamón. They do not look straightforward to make, but they sure look delicious. Also all the best for you and your family in 2012! --Slaunger (talk) 21:18, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
Bonne année 2012
Bonne année 2012 mon cher Slaunger,
Puisses-tu être aussi sage cette année que tu l'as été l'an dernier !
Je t'adresse mes meilleurs souhaits de santé, de bonheur et de prospérité, pour toi et ceux que tu aimes.
Det er dejligt at modtage endnu en hilsen på min brugerside fra dig. Jeg bliver helt overvældet af alle de nytårshilsener. Jeg ønsker også dig og din familie et godt og lykkebringende nytår. Jeg ser frem til fortsat at mødes med dig her på Commons i form af udveksling af kulinariske specialiteter, billeder og holdninger.
I understand danish very well :"kulinariske specialiteter" means "spécialités culinaires", for instance.
You know what ? Google translator from danish to french translates "Commons" in "House of Commons", in english !... OK, when you come to Paris, let's have a "Rendez-vous" in the "Assemblée Nationale" (Folketing, for you ?)--Jebulon (talk) 17:48, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
Joyeux Noël ! (bis)
French traditional "Bûche de Noël" (yule log ?), home made today, (This one is chocolate rolled cake filled with rapsberry jam).
Yes it is a shame that you good folks do not have a working machine. I have tried to go through the procedure two times manually now. It is rather tedious. I found a few details were missing along the way, and I have tried to add those as I stumble across them.
Feelings
Why are feelings enough? We ask for evidence. Blocks are preventative and need to have a clear situation and behavior to prevent. "Feeling" anything is nothing. Is there a source or reason for those feelings? One person said merely posting on their talk page was harassment. It says over at the Wikipedia definition that such is completely not the case and that you shouldn't throw around the term at all. What if I said I felt that I was being raped? The definition is broad enough that it could include such, but if I used it wouldn't that destroy people's character? How is it civil and constructive to have an environment where people throw around such harsh accusations like that? I asked for evidence of behavior and there was never provided any. Most of the opposes and many of the neutrals discuss that and have people bothered by it. Ottava Rima (talk) 12:47, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Please do not fork the discussion. I request you not to post more on my talk page regarding this particular discussion at AN. It is on my watchlist. Best wishes --Slaunger (talk) 21:38, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Dear George. Thanks for spotting that omittance in my manual promotion. I am disturbed to see that VI is stalled. Closing manually is also tedious (boring) and error prone. I am considering to wake User:SlaungerBot from its 2.5 years of sleep and implement the basic closure logic for "run on demand" purposes without using the toolserver and having to depend on its availability and a database which works. It is much interesting spending your time to automate things than to do it manually... --Slaunger (talk) 21:00, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
