Wikimedia Foundation project to improve PageTriageEdit
Hi, as an active New Page Patroller, I wanted to make sure you were aware of an upcoming Wikimedia Foundation project to improve the PageTriage extension. We recently published results of user interviews, and have some findings that we would value patrollers' opinions on. If you haven't yet, please consider adding the project page to your watchlist to stay up to date with our progress! Samwalton9 (WMF) (talk) 13:17, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
March storiesEdit
my women's day story |
today: where I learned opera, + 3 women -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:35, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
- Gerda Arendt, what a magnificent structure. I smiled when I noticed that Dr. B created the article back in 2010. And I learned about the 3 singers. --Rosiestep (talk) 09:59, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
- I love Arabian Mau1! - Just returned from a concert, all singers girls or women! - watch my talk for a new pic (not yet uploaded). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:05, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
- Gerda Arendt, thanks! Beautiful bokeh image; majestic cat!--Rosiestep (talk) 17:28, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

today a woman, a 2016 DYK remembered (our conductor was courageous and called her to step in for a concert on short notice, and she was interested! - only had no time that day in 2013. We got Gabriela Eibenová who was also great. Girls and women sang how Bach arranged Pergolesi's Stabat Mater to a new text paraphrasing Psalm 51, last Sunday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:45, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks, Gerda Arendt. I'll get caught up as soon as I'm back home. --Rosiestep (talk) 07:26, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
- Latest singer I wrote about: Johanna Geisler, off the FAC of her famous husband. Composer Marek Kopelent died, and it's Saint Patrick's Day --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:47, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- Gerda Arendt, great photo of Johanna! And yes indeed, Happy Saint Patrick's Day! I dropped my grandson off at school this morning and like him, all the children were wearing green. I don't know if it's a thing in other parts of the world, but here, if you don't wear green on St. Pat's Day, you are likely to get pinched. --Rosiestep (talk) 18:02, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- cute! - today we remember the 150th birthday of Max Reger, who saw the horrors of a world war right when it began in 1914, while others were still in high patriotic moods - your cat looks serious to match that --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:04, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
- Gerda Arendt, what a talented man. Indeed, the years leading up to WWI left bread crumbs of what was to be, but many missed the warning signs. Yes, serious cat pose today... almost like a still-life portrait sitter. --Rosiestep (talk) 20:18, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
- BWV 1 today, and new pics, more of them - including cats! - tomorrow --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:18, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
- Gerda Arendt, Nice! I'll be back home tonight, so will check out pics tomorrow. --Rosiestep (talk) 16:13, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello!Edit
Nothing urgent here but is there a Women in Red bat signal? Betty Pack was a charming, young, sex-positive, good-looking, adulterous, highly intelligent woman with at least one abortion and probably a child out of wedlock. She was also, by all accounts, a bona fide hero of Allied espionage during World War II. I've done a little tidying up of her article but I would to have some more female editors aware of her and working on telling her story in a way that is misogyny-conscious if that makes sense. Is there somewhere I should comment or post to get the attention of WIR team members? Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer. jengod (talk) 18:40, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Jengod, and thanks for stopping by. Yes! Here's the place to post questions or ask for help with regard to women's biographies, as well as articles about women's works (e.g., the paintings they painted; the conferences they convened) or women's issues (e.g., suffrage): Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women in Red. :) --Rosiestep (talk) 22:52, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
