Greetings, Netherzone, may 2025 bring you joy! Best wishes for the upcoming year, and thank you for all you do for Wikipedia and for Native communities!
@Netherzone thank you for the lovely message and right backatcha. It's been one of the pleasures of my time here to occasionally collaborate with you on content creation. I hope you and all your people have a beautiful and peaceful new year! jengod (talk) 17:11, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Today, between many who just died, Tobias Kratzer on his 45th birthday who was good for an unusual DYK mentioning a Verdi opera in 2018, - you can see his work in the trailer of another one that I saw, and my talk page has a third (but by a different director). 2025 pics, finally. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:09, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Gerda, I was looking at some of your photos this morning, and was wondering about this little stream or creek you photographed in the Upper Auback Valley Upper Auback valley, Oberlibbach. Does it have a name that you know of?
I'm wondering if it is a winterborne creek that only flows during part of the year, usually after the snow starts melting; an intermittent stream. Just curious, I'm doing some research on these types of bodies of water. Hope all is well with you, Netherzone (talk) 15:46, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have more vacation pics to offer, and today's story of Werner Bardenhewer. I took the pic, and it was my DYK on his 90th birthday, in both English and German. He spent the day in Africa, and after his return said - chatting after a mass of thanks he celebrated at Mariä Heimsuchung - that we'd have to talk about these articles. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:30, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Netherzone, thank you very much for the kind personal foxfire greetings! I hope that fire will soon not longer be necessary to start the day in light as the days become longer again. And in the mean time, we can enjoy sunrises and sunsets!
Thank you so much for this, that musical piece is beautiful and exactly what I needed to hear at this very moment! Here's to sunrises and sunsets in the new year. There is a meteor shower happening this week (visible in North America, not sure where else) I'm hoping for a clear night tonight to watch for shooting stars.

Hello, Netherzone. Please check your email; you've got mail! It may take a few minutes from the time the email is sent for it to show up in your inbox. You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{You've got mail}} or {{ygm}} template.
I just wanted to clarify that I never intended to "silence" you or undermine your voice in any way. My goal was simply to help make the section more concise. If you hadn't noticed, there was a "see more" button that allowed users to view the full context you provided, and I really appreciate you taking the time to include the pre-block context. The reason I HATed the section was that, often, very lengthy ANI posts don't get as much attention and tend to be archived without action.
I absolutely didn’t mean to imply that your context was irrelevant or wrong.
Rather, I was just trying to make the main actionable issue (the userspace and "laboratory" concerns) stand out more amongst the wall of text for those skimming the post.
After seeing your recent edit summary, I wanted to come here and sincerely apologize if my edits made you feel otherwise. I will not re-HAT the section.
Your voice is genuinely valued and important here, and I appreciate everything you contribute. I’m sorry if my actions seemed unclear, and please know that I encourage you to keep sharing your unique perspective!
Hi there, I'm a new editor and wanted to thank you for the work you have put in towards documenting Indigenous art and history. I think it's super important work and I appreciate your effort! - AppreciateALittleBreeze (talk) 04:25, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I saw that, but was wondering about the comment by another editor. Do you know if what they say is this actually correct copyright law? If so, is there a correct license for that, if so what might that be? Or is it BS? Netherzone (talk) 23:07, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Greg has been uploading LOW RESOLUTION version of them, often citing the Monterey County Historical Society's e-commerce portal on Fine Arts America creating a potential of inducing picture purchases to occur through people who wanted their own copy of what they see on Wikimedia. However, if they were truly public domain/CC-BY-SA, the full resolution image, not the low resolution sample should be upped to Wikimedia, so the intentions seem rather clear. MCHS is a name that came up in COI discussions. Seems to me the purpose is to generate interest in the photos in order to drive traffic and cause people to shell out money to MCHS.

That is deeply troubling. The situation has not seemed to improved at all. It seems that he keeps discovering new ways to game the system. Netherzone (talk) 15:22, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
