Today's story mentions a concert I loved to hear (DYK) and a piece I loved to sing in choir, 150 years old (OTD). - Thank you for digging up sources for the baritone's colleague, - they were the couple Hans & Grete in the opera the Nazis also banned. Her recital will be next Tuesday but less thought-provoking ;) -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:15, 22 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for adding to Samuel Kummer, including more detail from sources. I accepted most, but changed a few things, with edit summaries, - please check. For example: "Evangelisch" is not "evangelical", but Protestant (see: Name), and that is not Lutheran (alone) but a united church. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:18, 31 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Digging further, this particular member church is Lutheran, - always learning. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:25, 31 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

A fox for you!

Thanks so much for updating Jeffrey Veregge's article to restore his S'Klallam membership to the need - I would have done that myself had I checked my watchlist earlier. MOS:ETHNICITY even has a note saying that if a person has tribal citizenship it should be mentioned in the lead.

You're very welcome! I hadn't seen that note, actually, just a point about Spanish regions. In the meantime I've started a section on talk with a fuller explanation of my actions (partly because I'm worried the internationalization part of my edit may have been unintentionally disrespectful), and pinged the editor who made the change.

Star of the Sea School and *another* question on English variants

edit

Following our chat, I've made the Star of the Sea School disambig. Can you red pen it? My computer and spell-checker were at war with putting a period at the end of the points. I was going to format it to align with Woodrow Wilson High School, but since the listed schools had disambigs in their titles, I expanded it.

I have another language-related question. I understand the importance of using the English variant that is closely connected to the subject. How do disambig pages work? If there are two planes both named "TheSpaceplane," one British and one American, would the disambiguation be as follows?

  • TheSpaceplane (Yngva Airlines), British aeroplane
  • TheSpaceplane (Dottir Airlines), American airplane

If there are two wide-waterfall 'valves that release water' both named "TheSpacebar," one British and one American, would the disambiguation be as follows?

  • TheSpacebar (Yngva Plumbing), British tap
  • TheSpacebar (Dottir Plumbing), American faucet

@TheSpacebook: Internationaliz/se :-) ... "aircraft", "plumbing fixture".
I'll check the page after getting some coffee into me. (Someone else may have already done so, since it will come up on the NPP list.) But turn off autocorrect. Seriously. Yngvadottir (talk) 21:18, 12 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
