Geseënde Kersfees[edit]
Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, people's rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. It's been a while. Hope all is well! "Ek praat 'n ou weergawe van Vlaams wat baie soos Afrikaans lyk" ―Buster7 ☎
Pieter Biewenga[edit]
@Lotje, I answered on User:Morne's Afrikaans Wiki Talkpage about Pieter Biewenga Photo's. I will get out of this conversation now and leave you to sort it out, by yourself or with Morne, but I would really love to know what the resolution is. I found this page: Kategorie:NouCommons - Wikipedia. Please post an update. All the best. Thermofan (talk) 08:38, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Page errors in article Christianity[edit]
Hi Lotje. I was reading about Christianity, but realized all the sections were gone. I checked the page history, and compared the revisions. It seems like you were trying to add stuff, and then deleted all the other sections. Was this a mistake? Discussion is here Waterard

- Hello Waterard that was indeed a mistake. If you take a look at this, you will see that from the minute the mess started, I tried to find a solution. I'dd love to see this solved. Cheers Lotje (talk) 03:50, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
