 | If you leave a message here this editor will possibly reply... as I still have notification enabled. I, however, am semi retired and would be very grateful for anyone who is not requiring my assistance on a previous matter, or not making a social visit, to give all due accord to the notice at the top of the page and this notice and abstain from bothering me. Such irritations may garner a response that could be less than cordial... please be gentle. or responding to a request/comment generated by me, to gently pass on by without disturbing the equilibrium.

- Of course, your name is noted on your Userpage - but I only checked that just a moment ago; I was never one that thought it necessary to check the sources before committing to publish... as you might remember! LessHeard vanU (talk) 16:19, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- Lol! Sense of humour and attitude intact; account-not-hijacked confirmed :) Anyway, good to see you mate, I'll leave you in peace now. --kingboyk (talk) 20:33, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- I was wrong, it's today ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:50, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
- Do you need the earlier one back? LessHeard vanU (talk) 19:41, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
- I'll tell you when I run out of kindness ;) - I have someone on the Main page who would be 100 today, DYK, but also 2 who died, see? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:29, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Oh my!
[edit]I had no idea you were still - or again - kicking around here. Good to see you! (Of course I see you in that other place too but seeing LessHeard vanU is a treat!) I wonder how the old gang are doing. Stay well! Tvoz/talk 02:13, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
- Heya! I read the 'pedia for fun these days, and hit random article when I have a few minutes to spare. If I see something I can improve - like an USA article that neglects to mention that it is such - then I do a little edit. I log in to take responsibility for it. I have a few pages I still keep a watch on, as well. LessHeard vanU (talk) 21:45, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

- lovely phrased - here, I have more for you, cake even, - to uplift while we have to miss Flyer22, Yoninah and SlimVirgin, and RexxS for different reasons, and too many others, - check out Die Fliege - the fly on my talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:11, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
Ha ...
[edit]So you are popping your head in once in a while. Glad to see that. Always good to see a member of the Editor's Hall of Fame around. :-) Hope you and yours are well Mark. — Ched (talk) 19:54, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

- More in response to the Precious Anniversary posts, but under this heading because reasons. While the deaths are sad and deleterious to the project, it is inevitable. However, the stupidity resulting in the cessation of RexxS contributions provokes a response more in the nature of exasperation. LessHeard vanU (talk) 16:03, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

- Thank you! LessHeard vanU (talk) 16:07, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
Hallo Mark, I am delighted to see that you are still occasionally editing, as my enquiry relates to an article you created in 2006!
You created Carleen, which in 2009 was turned into a redirect to Breage. Today there was some discussion about Carleen (disambiguation) which included mention of "when the place in Wales [sic] became a redirect", and I followed up out of curiosity and created a page for Carleen again over that redirect.
Your original stub gave the name derivation, but with no ref. Have you got a source for that? (I imagine a book of Cornish place-name origins beside your desk, optimistically). Please add it to the article, sourced, if you can. Thanks. PamD 22:50, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
- Doubtless I have had many Cornish name source books over the years, any of which may have contained an entry for Carleen... but none now close to hand. Most publications are local, and are unlikely to qualify as reliable sources. WP:OR will provide you with the name; "Car" meaning 'fort' or more likely 'defendable dwelling/place' and "Leen" (or "lene" or "lean") meaning 'Stone(y)', which is likely how the various authors have come to the translation. If ever I find anything which seems like a peer reviewed book or website I will endeavour to include it. LessHeard vanU (talk) 16:06, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
