September songs

Thank you for this and others! - The rose pic was taken on 11 Sep 2021, and that day in 2022 was full of music, Tag des offenen Denkmals, not only singing in church and rehearsals for Verdi's Requiem, but two concerts at special places pictured, one a synagogue (pictured on its wall). Today three DYK: a piece we'll perform on Sunday, a violinist we heard in June playing the Berg Concerto (my brother played in the orchestra), and a Youth Orchestra shaped by a conductor who recently died. Almost too much of a good thing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:52, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Ways to improve William Hogeland

Hello, Thriley,

Thank you for creating William Hogeland.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

I don't think this article meets WP:GNG. WP:NACADEMIC also doesn't seem to be applicable as he's a freelancer per here. Looking at WP:NAUTHOR, it might be potentially met, as I found some reviews for The Whiskey Rebellion, see 1, 2, 3, so this work might meet the criteria: the person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series, though I'm unsure if the three reviews I found meet a "significant" or "well-known work" (that, though, probably warrants an individual WP article about this book, which might be a bar for significance, though none were created). Sidenote, he also appeared in the New York Times.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|VickKiang}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Tech News: 2022-38

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• Two database fields in the templatelinks table are now being dropped: tl_namespace and tl_title. Any queries that rely on these fields need to be changed to use the new normalization field called tl_target_id. See T299417 for more information. This is part of normalization of links tables. [3][4]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 20 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 21 September. It will be on all wikis from 22 September (calendar).
• In Kartographer maps, you can use icons on markers for common points of interest. On Tuesday, the previous icon set will be updated to version maki 7.2. That means, around 100 new icons will be available. Additionally, all existing icons were updated for clarity and to make them work better in international contexts. [5][6]

Future changes

• In a group discussion at Wikimania, more than 30 people talked about how to make content partnership software in the Wikimedia movement more sustainable. What kind of support is acceptable for volunteer developers? Read the summary and leave your feedback.

Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Thanks!

Hi, Thriley! I want to thank you for writing the Fred Franzia article, and now again for nominating it for DYK. I too have been pondering DYK, but you beat me to it. I have been trying to come up with catchy hooks. Would you mind if I added a few additional possible hooks to your nomination? MelanieN (talk) 17:17, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

@MelanieN: Go for it! Thank you son much for putting so much work on it. Got any Two Buck Chuck hooks? A hooky nickname if there ever was one. Thriley (talk) 22:41, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Definitely gotta include Two-Buck Chuck in the hook. Especially since you made a new redirect for it. -- MelanieN (talk) 01:59, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
