January music

[edit]
story · music · places

Happy new year 2025, opened with trumpet fanfares that first sounded OTD in 1725 (as the Main page had). My story today is about a composer who influenced music history also by writing. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:26, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

... and today, pictured on the Main page, Tosca, in memory of her first appearance on stage OTD in 1900, and of principal author Brian Boulton. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:01, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Curious why you edited a statement to be inconsistent with its cited source

[edit]

In https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Ana_winds#Wildfires, you apparently edited "The winds aggravating the fires reached over 100 mph (160 km/h) in some areas, with wind speeds comparable to that of a class 2 hurricane" to read "100 mph (160 km/h)" and "class 2" after I had edited it to read "80 mph (130 km/h)" and "class 1" to conform to the previously cited source, https://theconversation.com/how-santa-ana-winds-fueled-the-deadly-fires-in-southern-california-246965, which states, "The wind gusts in early January 2025 were reported to have exceeded 80 mph," but states nothing about 100 mph. I am curious why you would want a statement on Wikipedia to contradict its cited source. Please help me understand. 24.55.41.185 (talk) 02:42, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
