Your comment on the Tim Jackson discussion inspired me to bring up something I've also been thinking about for a while - is it time to modify that criterion? I started a discussion on the talk page for the guideline. PianoDan (talk) 20:40, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

Our regional group is engaged in a strategic planning process to sharpen our strategy for the next three years, and we would like your input.

Actually it did not changed a direct quote @[[Yakov Kreizberg]], but a wrong translation.
Thanks for reverting the change I made to the wrong English translation of the original quote in German{{cite web |url=http://www.zeit.de/2011/31/Rettung-Julia-Fischer | title=Ich werde Yakov bei mir behalten | work=Die Zeit | date=27 July 2011 | access-date=25 January 2015}}. The expression "Das Stück" that I loosely translated as "the piece" will still be missing in the mistranslation of the original quote, due to your reversal. Consequently the translation will remain inaccurate. Since I don't revert fellow editors' changes without discussing them first, if you don't want to revert the change you've made to my edit, I don't care. It will not be the first time that I accept arbitrariness on Wikipedia. Nor the last. Best regards.Fernando (talk?) {{CURRENTHOUR}}:{{#time:i}} - {{CURRENTDAY2}} {{CURRENTMONTHABBREV}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} (UTC)

I give up
Hucbald and anonymous are utterly unwilling to compromise, so absent a few more editors closer to the mainstream on that page, there's no way to improve the text without being reverted. It's too esoteric a topic for normal Wikipedia tools like RfC to move the needle. My new plan is to wait for their generation to retire, because I've seen ample evidence that Schenker is not going to have as many partisans in the next one. There was a talk at SMT last fall that surveyed what the new PhDs find relevant to their research interests, and if Schenkerian analysis wasn't dead last, it was close.

Invitation to join the Public Policy monthly call - July 1, 2022
Hi @Kosboot, the Global Advocacy team is launching their monthly conversation hours and we would love to have you join. We have two calls to accommodate timezones, the call on July 1 at 16h EST might work well for you. All information you need to participate is on [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Public%20policy/Conversation%20hours%20and%20Events this Meta page.]
The agenda is split between a dedicated theme for the month and whatever items you wish to cover. This month we will share some of our work on disinformation. There is no set agenda for the second half of the call - feel free to add your item to the list of topics [https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/Agenda_%26_Notes%2C_Global_Advocacy_Conversation_Hours in the etherpad.] Come and talk to us! Ask us anything, or tell us anything, related to public policy and advocacy initiatives for free knowledge online. For example:
- You want to learn more about our team and our current initiatives
- You would like to share a policy development or advocacy campaign idea and would like to get feedback or support
- You have questions about a specific WMF policy priority or development
Hope to see you there.--FPutz (WMF) (talk) 13:59, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Chopin
Did you know that Chopin had {{diff|Frédéric Chopin|647896917|647210477|an infobox by Brianboulton}}, as a compromise, in 2015? Until Francis Schonken came and removed it? (who is now banned) - One of the saddest infobox stories I remember. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:03, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
:Yeah, to me, it's not a fight worth fighting unless more people are in favor of one. I can wait. Or can edit Wikidata. :)
:: I agree (or I would fight, instead of having swallowed that, not without bitterness). But did you know? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:33, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
:::No I didn't know. So once a new editor or two come along, that discussion can be reopened. - kosboot (talk) 21:35, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
:::: I will not be part of it. I just observe that there was a compromise possible in 2015, and came one editor who just counted votes (and missed that some changed there mind but didn't strike a former statement), and the compromise was gone. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:46, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Happy holidays!
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, Kosboot!
The other day, I was having a conversation with someone about holiday cards and social media. It occurred to me that, in the years since I left Facebook, the site I use most to communicate with people I like isn't actually a social media site at all. If you're receiving this, it's pretty likely I've talked with you more recently than I have my distant relatives and college friends on FB, at very least, and we may have even collaborated on something useful. So here's a holiday "card", Wikipedia friend. :) Hope the next couple weeks bring some fun and/or rest. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 18:40, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
