cand q

Thank you for standing for arbitrator. I am far away from it all (travel, mourning), not in the mood, so just an informal question you can answer or ignore:

• Liviu Holender chose lieder by five composers whose music was banned by the Nazis—Schreker, Zemlinsky, Mahler, Korngold and Schönberg—for a recital at the Oper Frankfurt.

What does this 2024 DYK tell you about infoboxes for classical composers in 2024? -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:24, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

story · music · places

November was rich in sadness and happiness for me, expressed in music. Regarding my question, I found one so far who looked into the matter and didn't stay at the surface, Simonm223. There are two composers on the Main page today, Siegfried Thiele and Aaron Copland. I find the response of my friend Jerome Kohl to a question on Copland's article talk promising. What do you think? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:05, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Today's story comes from a DYK about a concert that fascinated me, and you can listen! For my taste, the hook has too little music - I miss the unusual scoring and the specific dedication - but it comes instead with a name good for viewcount. I'd still like to know what you think about the Copland posts. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:14, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

On the Main page today Jean Sibelius on his birthday. Listening to Beethoven's Fifth from the opening of Notre-Dame de Paris. We sang in choirs today. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:52, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Listen today to the (new) Perplexities after Escher. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:53, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

It is good to see you again, Gerda. I hope the memory of the person who passed will forever be a blessing to you. -- Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 21:34, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, and yes, I'm sure it will! - Listen today to Beethoven's 3rd cello sonata, on his birthday - it was a hook in the 2020 DYK set when his 250th birthday was remembered. I picked a recording with Antônio Meneses, because he was on my sad list this year, and I was in Brazil (see places), and I love his playing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:36, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

I come to fix the cellist's name, with a 10-years-old DYK and new pics - look for red birds --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:19, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Revdel request

Hello @Guerillero,

Hope this finds you well. May I request a revdel from this revision to whenever the language about a cult was added (I don't know how to find when the text was added)? The source doesn't seem to back it up and it's a WP:BLP and WP:WORDSTOWATCH scenario.

Thanks, Bremps... 19:13, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

You're invited to the discussion regarding the 30/500 rule

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Winners120 (talk) 18:30, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

ACE Results

The ACE results are not what I wanted, but I would like to thank the 676 community members who trusted me. I plan on keeping CU, returning to content work, and helping at AE. As for the speculation on the other site about why I lost, I would like to refer them to the seven ACE elections I have run in.

• 2012: 56.25%; 234 Supports
• 2013: 54.04%; 253 Supports (first runner up)
• 2014: 62.02%; 227 Supports (elected)
• 2020: 60.72%; 521 Supports
• 2021: 62.47%; 551 Supports (first runner up)
• 2022: 69.32%; 635 Supports (elected)
• 2024: 66.08%; 676 Supports (first runner up)

My destiny is to be the first runner up by about 3%-6%. This was a reversion to the mean. -- Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 07:25, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

I was really hoping I'd get to serve on the committee with you hey, maybe there's time for that next year! looking forward to working with you at AE in any case :) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 11:30, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Reporting a sock who is topic ban evading from a recent Arb Com decision.

So how exactly does one do this? CU not batting an eye on fresh evidence and instead defers to previous (premature) investigation results, when it is a blatant attempt of socking to circumvent bans.

The account was made during the Arb Com process and only started its activity when it is for certain that the main account was going to be topic banned, cooking their sock's age and edit count before finally getting involved again with the related topics and feuding once more with the editors, exhibiting the very same behaviour that they were banned for over in JP, e.g. copypasting warnings that were intended for them, back to the users who posted it. Meanwhile post-Arb Com, the main account barely has any activity and it should be noted that the account was editing almost on a daily basis prior to the Arb Com.

I'd like to hear your opinions regarding this. 14.192.212.242 (talk) 08:42, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

@14.192.212.242: What account? -- Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 16:37, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Refer to here.

First 10 edits were minor ones (to inflate edit count), all repeated on a single page. Unexplained removal of terms and that behaviour bleeds over to other articles. There is a reason why that account (and its socks) were indef from the JP wikis. 14.192.212.242 (talk) 21:43, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, Ealdgyth, have you ever found a notable horse that was owned by a bishop? That could be a fun merging of your interests -- Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 16:51, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

Apologies for self-revert chain on this page

Misclicked the revert button on popups, then found out that when you click "back" to a popup action it repeats the action. --Richard Yin (talk) 20:05, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

@Richard Yin: No worries. Happy editing! -- Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 16:30, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Welcome to the 2025 WikiCup!

Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.

For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.

The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · email). Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Just letting you no about this as a courtesy since you're the admin who deleted the article. The account making the request was created today, and this is their only edit so far. Perhaps this is the same user that created the deleted article. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:58, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
