May music

Bach's cantata was performed 300 years ago, by occasion. - With a chorale #6. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:37, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today's main page has again memories of three people who died, for two just the name and for the third an image (great!) coupled with a little bit from her life which seems too little for my taste. What do you think? - A friend of mine sang in Verdi's Requiem at Trinity Church, - you can watch the lifestream (Verdi about 30 minutes into it). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:48, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Recommended reading today: Christfried Schmidt, a story about patience. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:14, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ich bin ein guter Hirt, BWV 85 seems to have an interesting chorale ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:00, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

check my talk today for two pics of Margot Friedländer --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:43, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

musings on 15 May --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:23, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

birthday of Erik Satie - can we get his article to GA for his centenary of death? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:53, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A first: two stories about two people who worked together and died the same day - any chance for a lilypond for BWV 128 for 29 May? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:18, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

reasons to look at Bach (and listen): it's a recent GA (no by me), he assumed the position of Thomaskantor OTD in 1723, he's up for PR, and several of his cantatas for GA, and his Easter Oratorio for FAC --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:10, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Administrators' newsletter – May 2025

Interface administrator changes

Guideline and policy news

Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.

Miscellaneous

A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2025 to reduce the backlog of articles in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

Nominating The House of Asterion for FA status

Hi Dan, I hope you're enjoying Japan!

I’ve been reviewing The House of Asterion and am impressed by the article’s quality. I believe it may be ready for a FA nomination and would like to propose it at FAC. Since it's my first FA nomination and I haven’t contributed significantly to the article's development, I wanted to check in with you first to see what you think and if you'd like to be involved in the nomination.

Thanks! Mooonswimmer 10:37, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mooonswimmer, thanks for the kind message. Currently on my phone at the airport, so let me write you an actual reply within the next day, just didn’t want you to think I had missed this. (My answer will almost certainly be “go for it” but I will think to see if there’s anything else I thought the article was lacking.) DanCherek (talk) 23:26, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Who are the most overlooked and interesting Women in Red? We've no idea,
but we're putting together our list of the 100 most interesting ex-Women in Red.
We are creating the list to celebrate 10 years of Women in Red and we hope to present it at Wikimania.
We are ignoring the obvious, so do you have a name or subject we should consider?
Can you suggest a DYK style hook?
If you are shy about editing that page, you are welcome to add ideas and comments on the talk page.
