February music

story · music · places

On the main page today, 300 years after its first performance, Bach's cantata BWV 125, - a lovely very intimate piece, with peace and joy in the title. Enjoy listening with score - I discovered that only now! - Today is also the birthday of James Joyce, who has an article by many authors. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:54, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

My story torday is about an actor who played in almost every German TV series and in internal cinema. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:38, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: ooh, he was in Sesamstraße... I lived in Germany for a year as a child in 1983–84 and I used to watch that programme every day! Not sure if he was on then. In fact, there seems to be a disagreement between the Horst Janson (actor) article (which says he left in 1983) and Sesamstraße (which says he left in 1986). RIP to him anyway and thanks for your work on the article.  — Amakuru (talk) 18:09, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Did you look at the little video, him remembering the series, and excerpts? For most readers, it might be too German, but you may recognise something. I nominated him for ITNN, needs attention - I hope I may say this much without being blocked for canvassing ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:14, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

food pictured --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:19, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for having helped the actor, and someone the Turkish composer, and another the German-born Spanish art collector for today, - just look at "music" today. The video in the collector's honour is remarkable, as what she gave the world. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:19, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

I find today's birthday child particularly inspiring, by enthusiasm and determination. That was - believe it or not - a pictured DYK in 2021, without the last line though. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:50, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: thank you, I will check this out. It has been a busy weekend, we were away as some family members were receiving confirmation in the church, so I am just catching up with things now! Wishing you a happy week ahead.  — Amakuru (talk) 09:06, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

Thank you. If you have little time please check out Paul Plishka on WP:ITNN, - I was so busy expanding the article that I haven't written his story. Will have to do something about the recordings, it's a strange list anyway. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:14, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

Today's story is about Edith Mathis, who portrayed young women by Mozart. The video of a 1993 interview has videos of her performances. - I saw my brother on stage, - see places. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:19, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

... which match Valentine's also, food and flowers ;) - with a story, and more music there --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:52, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

Thank you Gerda Arendt and happy Valentine's Day to you and have a great weekend... I am leaving for a short break in Ireland later today, always a lovely place to visit.  — Amakuru (talk) 10:41, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

Enjoy! - I point at a composer today, as the main page does. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:55, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

pics, one of a song bird --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:08, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: thanks, and happy Friday. Are you referring to The Firebird?  — Amakuru (talk) 20:36, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

I meant the last pic, a European robin, actually singing --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:42, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

Learjet crash

Agree w/your comment at WP:ITN/C – Sca (talk) 15:20, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

@Sca: oh well, it looks like it's here to stay. No wonder many people think ITN is irrevocably broken 🤦  — Amakuru (talk) 16:02, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Of course -- it has been ever since a cabal of admins banned me from it. -- Sca (talk) 18:23, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Draft:Ahmed Reda Hashem

Hello. I am a bit disappointed that you deleted this draft page as a copyvio, apparently without checking that the current version, which I had worked on earlier today, was still in violation. I do not think that it was: as I had pointed out to Significa liberdade (diff) a few days previously, she had mistakenly tagged a very early version of the article as a copyvio, because at that point it was only a single sentence, which did appear elsewhere, although referring to a different footballer. In any case, there is now a completely unsourced version of the article at Ahmed Reda Hashem written by another editor. I would be grateful if you would recover the draft page you deleted to my user space so that I can copy in some of the sourcing to the current article. Cheers, SunloungerFrog (talk) 14:52, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi @SunloungerFrog: thanks for your note... and respectfully, I wouldn't say the new version was significantly expanded myself, it looked almost identical to the previous version with expanded referencing mainly. Looking at it again, there probably isn't a serious copyvio in fact, because the article is literally two sentences, which only describe his position and who he plays for, nothing more, and the linked page is, as you say, a different player. So I've restored the draft. But I think it needs a lot more expansion before it's ready for main space, so I suggest you work on it some more! Good luck.  — Amakuru (talk) 15:36, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for restoring the draft. I hadn't actually claimed that the version was significantly expanded, just that I had worked on it, in terms of adding some sources. Personally, as a stub article on a subject that meets WP:NSPORTS, I think it's OK as far as it goes. However, I will leave it to the creating editor Mohamedmokhtar22 to expand if if they can and publishing it when they are happy - Egyptian football is not my forte. Cheers, SunloungerFrog (talk) 15:43, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Could you look at this close?

Hello! I noticed you have closed contentious RFCs before (iirc it was the one about changing Israel-Hamas War to Gaza War). Now, I know canvassing is banned, but I think this is okay since I'm not asking you vote for one view or another, but rather could you please look at the RFC here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Gaza_war_infobox#RfC:_Should_the_US_and_UK_be_added_as_allies_to_Israel_in_the_infobox?

and if you feel you are able to, could you issue a close? I did put at a notice on the relevant page but its been a while since then and nothing happened, so.. Again, if this happens to be against the rules then please do disregard it. But since I'm not asking you vote, I *think* it's fine? Genabab (talk) 13:28, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

On 11 February 2025, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Sam Nujoma, which you updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. Black Kite (talk) 12:51, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

CS1 error on Lesser violetear

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Lesser violetear, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

• A bare URL error. References show this error when one of the URL-containing parameters cannot be paired with an associated title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 09:41, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

Tour of Flanders (women's race) page move

You have incorrectly applyed WP:RMUM in this case and should revert the move and that of the disambiguation page.

1. RMUM only applies to undiscussed moves, but this was a discussed move

• WP:RMUM allows reversion of "bold" (undiscussed) moves if they are challenged. This was not an undiscussed move—it resulted from a formal Requested Move (RM) discussion that reached consensus.
• Once a move is made through RM consensus, it cannot be undone via RMUM—it requires a new RM or move review (WP:MR).

2. The move was already decided in an RM, so reversing it requires a new discussion

• The RM discussion already determined that "Tour of Flanders (women’s race)" was the appropriate title.
• Your 9 February challenge does not override an RM outcome—challenges belong in move reviews or a new RM.
• By reversing the RM result without a new RM, you have unilaterally overturned consensus, which contradicts WP:CONSENSUS and WP:RMUM.

3. The "primary topic" argument is not a reason to use RMUM

• Your justification is that primary topic status wasn’t discussed, implying the move was flawed. That’s not how RMUM works. If a move is challenged for being controversial, the dispute goes to RM, not an immediate reversion.
• If you believed the move was wrong, you should have: opened a primary topic discussion to determine if the men’s race should stay at the base title and/or opened a new RM to reconsider the previous move, rather than unilaterally reverting it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yaksgawky (talk • contribs) 23:32, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

Template:POTD/2025-02-25

Hi, The image is used. Could you please restore that? Or move it to another date? I don't mind. Thanks, Yann (talk) 13:10, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

Well, I moved it to Template:POTD/2025-03-01. Yann (talk) 13:19, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Yann: - as I notified you here, that image is listed as unused, as the article is not up to scratch. If you want it to be listed you'll have to expand the article with citations, so that it has sufficient material to construct a full blurb. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 14:10, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

That was wrong. Did you even check that? It was used, and it still is. Now the article may have only two references, but that was considered sufficient when the picture was featured. Yann (talk) 14:19, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

@Yann: respectfully, it is not "wrong". The article has pretty much no information about the painting whatsoever, other than where it resides. The vast bulk of the article is a description of the subject, Adeline Ravoux, who I don't think is a notable individual - and 50% of that prose is quotes directly from her memoir too (which might or might not be copyrighted, depending on her date of death). The bottom line is that this subject can't be featured on the main page as it stands, so your choice is either to expand the article with usable cited prose about the painting itself or to leave it on the unused list. Wikipedia:Picture of the day/Guidelines is clear that stub articles don't qualify. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 15:39, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

All that is not a reason not to add the picture in POTD. You can contest its featured picture on WP:FPC if you like. But once it is a FP, there is no reason not to include it on POTD. Yann (talk) 18:08, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

Template:POTD/2025-03-02: Please stop removing without any valid reason the POTD nominations I did. Thanks, Yann (talk) 13:37, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

@Yann: I have given you the reasons. The articles are not up to scratch and don't meet WP:POTD/G. Unless they are expanded with further cited material, as I mentioned to you above, they can't feature on the main page. The guidelines have been in place for years and apply to all main page content, these are not negotiable. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 13:48, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

@Yann: I've opened a discussion at WT:MP regarding this and pinged you into it. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 14:30, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi, When removing a POTD or switching dates, you should also update the article talk page, i.e. Talk:Portrait of Adeline Ravoux, Talk:Alicudi, Talk:National Maps of Switzerland, etc. Thanks, Yann (talk) 10:59, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

@Yann: thanks for the reminder. I've posted updates to those talk pages. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 11:27, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

Happy First Edit Day!

Hey, Amakuru. Just stopping by to wish you a Happy Wiki-Birthday from the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! Have a great day! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 03:33, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

DYK for Temujin Kensu

Hi Amakuru. I nominated this article for DYK and it is currently in Template:Did you know/Queue/6, so it will go live in a couple of days. However, it seems to have lost the "in November 1986" date, without which the ending "ever since" doesn't make much sense. I think you were the last person to check/promote that queue, so please could you restore the text. I'm not confident I would do it correctly. Thanks. Mike Turnbull (talk) 11:49, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Michael D. Turnbull: thanks for your message. It appears the hook was modified in prep during a round of copyediting. I think the original version was fine, so I've restored it to the version initially promoted. Thanks  — Amakuru (talk) 12:13, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

WikiCup 2025 March newsletter

The first round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 26 February. As a reminder, we are no longer disqualifying the lowest-scoring contestants; everyone who competed in round 1 will advance to round 2 unless they have withdrawn or been banned from Wikipedia. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points at the end of each round. Unlike the round points in the main WikiCup table, which are reset at the end of each round, tournament points are carried over between rounds and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far.

Round 1 was very competitive compared with previous years; two contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and the top 16 contestants all scored more than 500 round points. The following competitors scored more than 800 round points:

• Gog the Mild (submissions) with 1,168 round points, mainly from 4 featured articles and 4 good articles on old military history, in addition to an assortment of GA and FA reviews.
• Generalissima (submissions) with 1,095 round points, mainly from 2 FAs, 2 featured lists, 8 GAs, and 16 Did You Know articles mainly on historical topics.
• BeanieFan11 (submissions), with 866 round points from 20 GAs, 23 DYKs, and 2 In the News articles primarily about athletes.
• Sammi Brie (submissions), with 846 round points from 16 GAs about radio and TV stations, 45 GA reviews, and 3 DYKs.
• Hey man im josh (submissions), with 816 round points from 5 FLs about sports and Olympic topics, 46 FL reviews, 3 ITN articles, and a large number of bonus points.
• MaranoFan (submissions), with 815 round points primarily from 3 FAs and 1 GA about music, in addition to 9 article reviews.

The full scores for round 1 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 18 featured articles, 26 featured lists, 1 featured-topic article, 197 good articles, 38 good-topic articles and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 23 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 550 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 26 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2, which begins on 1 March. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

March music

story · music · places

New month: today is the birthday of Chopin and Ricardo Kanji, see my stories of today and yesterday, with dream music by the first and Bach played by the other. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:44, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

Today: Carmen turns 150, as the main page and my story tell you. I chose a 1962 concert of the Habanera, - enjoy! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:55, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: if it's really the 150th anniversary of Carmen, it's a pity we didn't save a memento such as Wikipedia:Today's featured article/March 3, 2021 or Template:POTD/2021-07-28 for today! I'll try to remember to request this when it hits the 200th anniversary  — Amakuru (talk) 17:37, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

It's my fault because had asked for a rerun of Carmen some years ago, and got it, and that was less than 5 years ago. Even if they would have permitted a third run (which I doubt), 5 years is the minimum time between appearances. - Being pictured, I think there should still be views at the article. - Feel free to move this to the other thread. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:48, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

Ooh yes, my mistake, happy new month! Well that's fine anyway, no harm done really and any day is good exposure. Could have done a OTD entry too. I'll have a listen later if I have time.  — Amakuru (talk) 18:07, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

Evening @Gerda Arendt: thank you that's much appreciated, it's been a long week so glad to have something nice to listen to on Friday  — Amakuru (talk) 18:33, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

Great idea, thank you! - Today I could have written five stories off the main page, and chose Sofia Gubaidulina. I find the TFA also interesting, and two DYK, and a birthday OTD. How about you? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:33, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

Today: an opera, 100 years old OTD, on Bach's birthday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:11, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

Just for the record...

"Studio of Nadar" is fine, "Atelier Nadar" seems to be how most refer to it, but mixing it into "Atelier of Nadar" just feels weird. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.9% of all FPs.} 01:46, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

@Adam Cuerden: I think that "Atelier Nadar" is confusing and not normal English. I thought that was his given and surname at first. So given that atelier is seemingly just a type of studio, saying it was "of" seemed best to me. But if "studio of Nadar" works then let's go for that.

Hi, I see you changed the ITN entry for the Ofunato fire here. I just wanted to say that, per this source, it's actually the largest in at least 50 years rather than 30. Have a great day, harrz ^talk 23:15, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

The European Destubathon

You are invited to participate in The European Destubathon in April. Almost $3000 in Amazon voucher prizes which can be used to buy books for content, though it can also be treated as an editathon if you're not interested in competing! Minimum content to be added to each article just to ensure that they're over a stub, though longer expansions also welcome. Entries at the end of the contest will be tipped into the 50,000 Destubbing Challenge and European Challenge. Previous contests were really enjoyable and I'm hoping this one will be too! Sign up if interested. Thanks! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:22, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Suspicious deaths of notable Russians since 2022

Hi Amakuru! You reverted my move of Suspicious deaths of notable Russians since 2022. Could you please explain to me what mistake I made? Thank you. Lova Falk (talk) 09:23, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

@Lova Falk: thanks for your message. I think Paine Ellsworth already explained a bit at the article talk page, but the reason is that guidelines say that formal move discussions are to be closed by independent editors, who aren't the nominator or those who participated in the discussion. Also the discussion is supposed to run for a minimum of seven days and may be relisted if consensus isn't clear then. There is more on this at WP:RMCI. It may seem like unnecessary bureaucracy to you, but given this title has already been contentious before and subject to a couple of RMs it's better to do it by the book. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 09:52, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Amakuru: I am trying to do everything by the book, all the time. I am a returning editor, confidentially making mistakes... I am always grateful when other editors friendly point out to me what I did wrong, like you and Paine Ellsworth. Lova Falk (talk) 10:37, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

@Lova Falk: that's absolutely fine. Mistakes are a key part of learning, and you'll be up to speed very soon. Welcome back to the project and happy editing!  — Amakuru (talk) 11:23, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

Welcome back, editor Lova Falk! And here is 'nother gentle reminder about the notifications system, which might be new to you.
