Bach's cantata was performed 300 years ago, by occasion. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:35, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

:{{ping|Gerda Arendt}} very nice! Thanks. It's a long weekend here with a public holiday tomorrow, we did a little trip up to Lincoln  — Amakuru (talk) 20:24, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

:: Thank you! - Today's main page has again memories of three people who died, for two just the name and for the third an image (great!) coupled with a little bit from her life which seems too little for my taste. What do you think? - A friend of mine sang in Verdi's Requiem at Trinity Church, - you can watch [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8ld7VNaKss the lifestream] (Verdi about 30 minutes into it). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:47, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

:: The hook for Barbara Frischmuth was improved. - Nothing new: another RD article is on his last day on WP:ITNN, a neglected composer to make it worse, and I'm travelling. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:28, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

:: Recommended reading today is the one: Christfried Schmidt, a story about patience. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:12, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

:: check my talk today for two pics of Margot Friedländer --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:39, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

:::RIP, and very nice pics thanks for your work on this, Gerda.  — Amakuru (talk) 20:46, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

:::: For a change, that was rather little work because the article was in good shape from the start. More work for the next two: May Abrahamse (pic with uncertain licensing), and Vakhtang Machavariani, nominated nominated, marked ready --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:41, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

:::: listen to Machavariani's Mariupol --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:35, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

:::: birthday of Erik Satie --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:49, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

:::: all Verdi today: tenor Luigi Alva and the premiere OTD of his Requiem, see my talk - remember that early in the thread there was a link to a performance? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:32, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

:::::{{ping|Gerda Arendt}} yes, lots of Verdi! I'm not that familiar with the Requiem, I'll have a listen to the performance. The 2010 one in Idstein sounds like it was nice too.  — Amakuru (talk) 22:47, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

• Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
• An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{t|sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
• An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.

File:Info Simple bw.svg Miscellaneous

• A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2025 to reduce the backlog of articles in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

Hi Amakuru - thanks for pinging me about the DYK for Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me going live on the main page. To be quite honest, I wasn't expecting it to be published today, given the points you raised at the talk page and the fact that these points remain unresolved. I hope I didn't commit any kind of faux pas by responding to your queries. As I explained to Daniel at the talk page, I would have acquiesced to ALT1 if you'd insisted.

I'm happy to continue the conversation at the talk page if you like. Since you originally raised the issue, I'll defer to your decision on whether to keep on discussing it. Namelessposter (talk) 01:47, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

You are invited to participate in The World Destubathon. It's currently planned for June 16-July 13, partly due to me having hayfever during that period and not wanting to run it throughout July or August in the hotter summer and will be run then unless multiple editors object. There is currently $3338 going into it, with $500 the top prize. As 250 countries and entities is too much patrol, entries will be by user, but there is $500 going into prizes for editors covering the most countries. Sign up if interested! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:10, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
