I just had reason to look back at my 2015 archive, and found that you asked for a song the first day of that year. I wrote it, but had forgotten that you requested it. Miss you. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:11, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Article on main page again

You created this article. And I worked extensively on this article.

A fact from Hafspajen appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 24 March 2015 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Vincent van Gogh's Houses at Auvers (pictured) is an oil painting featuring a peasant cottage, as did many of his works?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2015/March.

As even retirees sometimes look at their talk pages

I've nominated a new version of Hip, Hip, Hurrah! to replace the one you nominated: Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/delist/Hipp hipp hurra!. I don't think there is anything much wrong with the original, just this one is better. Anyway, if you happen to be passing and don't think it ruins the perception of your retirement, weigh in.

Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1781–1841) was a Prussian architect and city planner. He was one of the most prominent architects in Germany and designed both Neoclassical and Neo-Gothic buildings, the most famous of which are found in and around Berlin. He was also a painter and a designer of furniture and stage sets.

This oil-on-canvas painting, entitled Castle by the River, was created by Schinkel in 1820. As an artist, his architectural talent shone through, and his buildings and landscapes are carefully drafted and meticulously executed. The painting is in the collection of the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin.

Reaper is a series of three oil-on-canvas paintings by the Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh of a man reaping a wheat field under a bright early-morning sun. This is the second painting in the series, which Van Gogh appears to have completed in a single day in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France, while taking breaks to write a letter on 4–5 September 1889. In a later part of the letter, he announced: "Phew – the reaper is finished, I think it will be one that you'll place in your home". Van Gogh initially preferred this version over the earlier study, describing it as "an image of death as the great Book of Nature speaks to us about it – but what I sought is the 'almost smiling'. It's all yellow except for a line of violet hills – a pale, blond yellow. I myself find that funny, that I saw it like that through the iron bars of a cell." The painting is now in the collection of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.
