To format a quote so that it appears in green text, useful for quoting something in a discussion: {{tq|Type quote here.}} Not a template, but another way to highlight text, useful for highlighting text in a discussion. Select color from "Web colors" link below.: <span style="color: purple">Text goes here.</span> To format a block quote that requires an attribution (that is, the person who said it). This particular example also includes a reference: To format a block quote and keep the line break structure, poem or otherwise: {{quote|quote=Put quoted text here without double quote marks here.|source=Put source of quote here}} Be sure to leave the equals signs in place. Here is an example: {{quote|quote=<poem>Their names discover what their natures are, More hard than stones, and yet not stones indeed.</poem>|source=I.i.181-2}} How to create a diff from two adjacent edits
To hat, or collapse, a section: En-dash and em-dash templates
Note: You cannot use a template, which is written with curly brackets, inside a reference that is in the "cite ref" template format (with curly brackets) or inside any other template such as the quote template, which also uses curly brackets. In that case, use En-dash and em-dash keyboard shortcuts (at least on a Mac)
Optional soft hyphen {{shy}} Use this sparingly. Two places it might be appropriate to use are where there is a long word in a narrow column of text, or a long word in a caption. The main reason to use it is to avoid a very ragged (markedly in-and-out) right margin. The hyphen won't necessarily appear. It would only appear if the long word ended up at the end of a line. See the template documentation (type "Template:Shy" into the search bar) for how to use it. There are a few options there. See also MOS:SHY.

- Very sorry to hear this. On a Wikipedia that's becoming ever-more dominated by horrible people, she always stood out as someone who was fundamentally decent, had no agenda to push, and only ever did what she though would be helpful to other people. ‑ Iridescent 10:11, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

- One of a kind. Always polite, gentle in approach, ready to lend a hand, and committed. A copy-edit by Corinne was often a bigger deal than a GA/FA-review. Top-class work every single time; many of my articles would be nowhere without her dilligence and dedication. Truly gonna miss you, Corinne. I'm at a loss for words. Rest in peace. - LouisAragon (talk) 23:24, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
- Just found out about this when clicking on this user page. I thought to myself that it'd been sometime since I've seen Corinne around. So sorry about this. I'm also at a loss for words, except for echoing what others have stated above. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 04:30, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
- I always loved her coming to my talkpage to ask for my opinions and suggestions for editing improvements. She will be sorely missed.--Mr Fink (talk) 04:41, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

- Farewell Corinne. You were an important part in one of the most ambitious projects of this century, of that most of the World has yet to acknowledge. Behind you stand years of hard work, passion and achievement. As a member of the GOCE, I salute you. Lots of love, Double Plus Ungood (talk) 17:06, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

- Oh no! Corinne was a wonderful person. Her collection of images stands out in my mind as well. We had interacted cordially a number of times. I was just going to ask her to check an article I found hard to understand and then was shocked to learn of her passing, very belatedly. I cannot believe she is gone. Rest in peace. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 16:08, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
- I somehow only noticed this today despite this page being on my watchlist. I remember Corinne and am sad. —PaleoNeonate – 19:30, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

- So sad to hear this news. What a fantastic, helpful and kind editor! Condolences to friends and family DBaK (talk) 13:12, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
- I just learned about this from Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2019-02-28/News and notes. Though I never knew nor think I interacted with Corinne, I do issue my sincerest/heartfelt (albeit belated) condolences to her family, friends, and colleagues. After reading the above messages, it is clear that she will be missed by the Wikipedia community as well. May she rest in peace. God speed, Corinne. --TheSandDoctor Talk 17:43, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you for your service. Rest in peace. --Pine✉ 03:52, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
- I just learned about this. I remember her thankless help with copyediting many of my articles when I was a newbie, I got to learn so much from her. Rest in peace, beautiful soul. Sainsf (talk · contribs) 14:36, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
- I was reading the GOCE archives the other day, I was not an editor when you passed, but I think everyone, even the new editors, have benefited from your edits. Rest in peace, | Zippybonzo | Talk | 17:34, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

![]() | 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. Painting credit: Vincent van Gogh Recently featured: |
