Women in Green's "Around the World in 31 Days" GA Editathon – October 2024

Hello TechnoSquirrel69:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

DYK for The Snow Queen (Kernaghan novel)

On 12 September 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Snow Queen (Kernaghan novel), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a contemporary adaptation of "The Snow Queen" contains feminist elements and, according to one scholar, violates gender expectations? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Snow Queen (Kernaghan novel). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, The Snow Queen (Kernaghan novel)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

TFA

Thank you today foryour share of Worlds (Porter Robinson album), introduced: "After becoming popular as an electronic dance music artist, Porter Robinson eventually grew weary of the style, writing his debut album Worlds in an attempt to break the conventions of the culture. The album used a novel blend of influences to evoke a sense of grandeur and nostalgia over the pounding bass music of Robinson's discography prior." — I have a FAC open, different kind of music ;) -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:16, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks a bunch, Gerda! I've been in a mood to do some reviewing lately, so I'll give your FAC a read through and likely leave some comments in the process. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 13:40, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

That's lovely, thank you! - On 13 August, Bach's cantata was 300 years old, and the image one. The cantata is an extraordinary piece, using the chorale's text and famous melody more than others in the cycle. It's nice to have not only a recent death, but also this "birthday" on the Main page. And a rainbow in my places. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:52, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

castle in the sky

Thank you for quality articles such as Worlds (Porter Robinson album), Castle in the Sky, List of accolades received by The Boy and the Heron, Nurture (album) and The Snow Queen (Kernaghan novel), for writing in collaboration, for quality reviewing, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

You are recipient no. 2949 of Precious, a prize of QAI. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:21, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you so much, Gerda; I'm honored! On the point of "quality reviewing", I hadn't originally planned to keep you waiting for this long — the source review is on its way, I promise! :) —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 14:46, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing! I'll respond more tomorrow. - Sunday story about another of Bach's chorale cantatas, listen, as I listened to two impressive very different choral concerts, - music by 16 composers. In the latest cloudy pictures: a hidden deer, a cat and a blaze of a sunset. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:08, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Help? My story today is about a woman, nominated for RD but needing support as I write this. A composer died whose article is long and mostly unreferenced, which will keep me busy, - sorry about no more responses in the FAC. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:45, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

No worries about the FAC, Gerda; it's all on your own time. However, as I've mentioned before, directly asking for support in open consensus-forming discussions is not appropriate and difficult to interpret as anything other than canvassing. I will have to refrain from commenting on the ITN nomination as a result. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 05:03, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

I see it a bit differently: I rarely ask for help, but had to go out, with the decision if another woman would be overlooked pending. (It happened before, Márta Kurtág, and I didn't want that to happen again.) WP:ITNN is not the typical "consensus" discussions, but support and oppose follow strict factual rules: enough coverage and enough referencing. In many cases one support was enough (which was there when I asked) for familiar admins but they all seemed to have the day off, and those unfamiliar would want to be safe and see a few more, like three. - I hope it will not happen again that I get in emergency mode. But if would "needs attention" be neutral enough? - She "made it" just before I went to bed. Goehr work still needed is detailed on the article talk. - Interesting animal pictured if you click on places. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:21, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Yes, "needs attention" should be fine. The issue I was raising was not that you were bringing attention to your nomination — far from it — but the direct demand for support in the discussion, which is the crux of what the canvassing guideline disallows. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 16:26, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

I see that my grammar is wrong. For me "she needs support" is just short for "in order to appear she would need more support", which is not a demand to supply that support, and "Help?" can be answered by yes or no, which would be a "support", an "oppose" or simply doing nothing. I have been lectured about my grammar mistake with enforcement, so be it. I learned to say "review" next time but hope there will be no next time of a woman musician being ignored. - Recommended reading today: Frye Fire, by sadly missed Vami_IV. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:59, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Happy because my story today is about a Czech mezzo soprano who is mentioned on the Main page on her birthday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:50, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the Good article on the Main page today! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:24, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the thanks! That was a fun one to write — it surprised me how much I stayed interested in the topic, as I had only intended to make it a quick creation for Women in Red. After I'm done with a couple of projects I have on my plate, FAC is up next! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 15:33, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

You are welcome! - Today is Schoenberg's 150th birthday! On display, portrayed by Egon Schiele, with music from Moses und Aron, and with two DYK hooks, one from 2010 and another from 2014; the latter, about his 40th birthday, appeared on his 140th birthday, which made me happy then and now again. - See places for a stunning sunrise, on the day Bruckner's 200th birthday was celebrated (just a few days late). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:37, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for improving article quality in September! - Ach, lieben Christen, seid getrost, BWV 114, is one of the pieces in my topic of this year. --

Hey there, I presume you're implying that the second user is a sockpuppet of the first, but I'm not an administrator or a checkuser, so I can't take any action here. I'd recommend filing a case at sockpuppet investigations and presenting your evidence. Let me know if you have any questions. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 20:34, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
