Dutchiness

By the way are you Dutch or of Dutch origin?

Yep - my parents immigrated to Canada after WWII. My mother wrote a book[1] about the immigration experience from the eyes of those who came over as children. RobHutten (talk) 16:37, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, you've got the right address. I did reply to your original email... you didn't get it? It didn't bounce... RobHutten (talk) 18:14, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't get your e-mail (ontving geen e-mail) What went wrong? I'll try again, would you try as well? Primasz (talk) 11:11, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Little Street of Vermeer and its Location

For The Little Street of Vermeer and its Location, which has me awed, you are one of my Wikipedia heroes. Do add some sources for your material (as much as you can) before the Wikipedia midgets start plastering it with "Original Research" tags, etc. I'd help if I were competent. Please do more editing at Wikipedia: I've looked at your past contributions and wish there were more.--Wetman (talk) 05:43, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Answer: Thank you for your compliment. As to your suggestion to add more sources for my material: I gave two sources in my article. Is the way I entered them not the usual way of quoting sources in Wikipedia? I'm relatively inexperienced in Wiki-methods and are often baffled by the unusual terms used and by the unfamiliar way of introducing material in a Wiki-article (I experimented in the Sandbox and had to repeat my work a thousand times before I could publish it). Could you please tell me how to arrange the sources if the present presentation is not all-right? Or even better: could you do it for me?

I have another question in this respect: my article on the location of "The Little Street" is logical in itself. Everybody can follow my simple mathematics and make the small drawings themselves if they want. Thus why more 'sources'? Hope to hear from you. Primasz--Primasz (talk) 06:17, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Logical developments from published sources have always made perfect sense to me. Wikipedia:Original Research is an unlettered bugaboo trotted out a good deal here. I masde some tweaks to your article: look at the html to see what I did. Hope you approve. --Wetman (talk) 08:29, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I really like the article, too! It's just...differently formatted than the other wikipedia articles, so I tagged it. I hope you don't mind much. It's really cool how you deduce all that. Saeb(talkjorn) 03:53, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

GA reassessment of Han van Meegeren

I have conducted a reassessment of the above article as part of the GA Sweeps process. I have found some concerns with the referencing which you can see at Talk:Han van Meegeren/GA1. I have placed the article on hold whilst these are fixed. Thanks. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:32, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Answer: Please see what I wrote in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Han_van_Meegeren under the heading "Checking against AG criteria an answer". I regard this as important for the quality of the article. I'll appreciate your answer --Primasz (talk) 17:26, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion nomination of The Little Street of Vermeer and its Location

I have nominated The Little Street of Vermeer and its Location, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Little Street of Vermeer and its Location. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 03:53, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Primasz. I think your article on The Little Street is excellent, but it doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. You should publish it in an academic journal. Take a look at WP:OR. Thanks for your contributions. - Richard Cavell (talk) 04:08, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article has been published in the mean time. The reason for keeping the article is that a long-time issue has been solved and is of interest for historians and fans of Vermeer. The issue is not found in the main articles about Vermeer and the painting.

Hello. I have closed the AfD as delete-ish. The article is now at User:Primasz/The Little Street of Vermeer and its Location. As I said in the close, I hope we can restore it if your paper leads to a debate on the subject. Very best regards, Angus McLellan (Talk) 01:09, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
