Hi, Captain Anonymous is back with their tiresome edit warring on double contrabass flute and subcontrabass flute, can we please semipermanently protect these pages again (see recent edits and talk pages for easily ascertained context). Cheers and happy new year :) Jon (talk) 02:09, 3 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Jonathanischoice, that's done. Schwede66 04:00, 3 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2024).

  Guideline and policy news

• Following an RFC, Wikipedia:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
• A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.

  Technical news

• The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.

  Arbitration

• Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.

  Miscellaneous

• A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

Thank you for RD promotions and sensible changes based on ERRORS! - Happy new year! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:25, 7 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

HNY to you as well, Gerda. And thanks you for all your useful contributions. Schwede66 08:35, 7 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

My story today is about a composer who influenced music history also by writing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:41, 8 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Today a violinist from Turkey, Ayla Erduran, whom you can watch playing Schubert chamber music --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:10, 13 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) 19:12, 14 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Today, between many who just died, Tobias Kratzer on his 45th birthday who was good for an unusual DYK mentioning a Verdi opera in 2018, - you can see his work in the trailer of another one that I saw, and my talk page has a third (but by a different director). 2025 pics, finally. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:57, 17 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Today I had a composer (trumpeter, conductor) on the main page who worked closely with another who just became GA, - small world! To celebrate: mostly flowers pics from vacation ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:02, 21 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

I have more vacation pics to offer, and today's story of Werner Bardenhewer. I took the pic, and it was my DYK on his 90th birthday, in both English and German. He spent the day in Africa, and after his return said - chatting after a mass of thanks he celebrated at Mariä Heimsuchung - that we'd have to talk about these articles. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:29, 30 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Should the article Joan Bolger and Jim Bolger have the category Category:People from Waikanae (where they currently live) or should the category be where they grew up or something like that? ―Panamitsu (talk) 10:49, 7 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Or should there be a category for each place they've lived? ―Panamitsu (talk) 10:50, 7 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Morena Panamitsu, I suggest that as long as someone lived somewhere for some length of time, and it's referenced in their bio, then a People from Foo category for each of those places is appropriate. Schwede66 17:48, 7 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, I've added that category to both of the articles. ―Panamitsu (talk) 22:19, 7 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, Schwede66. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Jonathan R. White, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 20:06, 9 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Just for the record: not my draft (I merely moved it) but it's now redundant anyway as the article exists in main space. Schwede66 21:02, 9 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hi I am currently working on Draft:Lyttelton Museum (I don't yet know if it's notable enough) and have noticed that in 2011 you took a picture of the building on Donald Street. After being confused about why the sources show a different building, I looked at Google Maps and realised that the 'main' building (now demolished) is that white one visible on the right. Do you happen to have a picture of that? ―Panamitsu (talk) 06:46, 17 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Well, I found just the right photo on Flickr, Panamitsu, but the license isn't quite right. I've asked the photographer whether they are happy to remove the NP-part from the license. Meanwhile, I've created both a Commons category and a Wikidata entry for the museum. Schwede66 08:08, 17 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, fingers crossed. ―Panamitsu (talk) 08:21, 17 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hi! It's been awhile. Thanks for your help with DYKs. Happy new year.

Quick question you may know the answer to. I've been working the past few days on an article that is in draft. Draft:Leon Feingold. Am still working on it. When I'm done, if it gets promoted to be an article, will it be eligible for DYK? Here is the quirk. It looks as though it was once an article in the past, but lost that status. It looks as though it was Proded. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Leon_Feingold&diff=prev&oldid=1255209358 It certainly had issues then, including an apparent COI from an editor. Now it is a draft. Thoughts? 2603:7000:2101:AA00:34FB:96:88B8:2C6D (talk) 23:20, 30 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

HNY to you, too. Yes, it’s eligible: Articles that have been re-created from deletion may be considered new. Schwede66 16:11, 1 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Ah, thanks! Hope all is well. Will do some more work on it.--2603:7000:2101:AA00:6412:3406:5B47:5C1F (talk) 23:03, 1 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Having since looked at it in more detail (sorry, I’m away on holiday), I see that the deleted article has been restored to draft. The eventual article will thus count as new, but the five-time-expansion rule will have to be met. Schwede66 16:25, 2 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hi Schwede66, this is election time in India and some of us, have been trying to create pages for the new winning MLAs of Delhi. Two pages were created within a few minutes, by me and one more user, User talk:Xoocit. Request you to kindly look at the two pages and suggest if they can be merged. I created Aahir Deepak Chaudharyy using the spelling given by all the sources, including the official election commission of India site. Another page is created as Deepak Choudhary, based on the spelling of his instagram profile (as quoted by the user in his talk page reply). Since Xoocit created it a few minutes before I did, my page can be merged into his as both BLPs are about the same person. Grateful if you can look into it, when you have a minute. Davidindia (talk) 14:32, 8 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

If it’s about the same person, a merge needs to be done. The second page should at the end remain as a redirect to the first. Schwede66 14:51, 8 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Thanks a lot. Another editor noticed it and did a 'redirect'. Thanks for your time! Best Davidindia (talk) 08:53, 9 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for having brought my story today to the main page: a German-born Spanish art collector, - the video in her honour is remarkable, as what she gave the world. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:08, 8 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Paul Plishka, a bass who sang 88 roles of all kinds at the Met was interviewed before his (first) retirement. Declared ready on WP:ITNN. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:42, 10 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Thank you! - Today's story is about Edith Mathis, who portrayed young women by Mozart. The video of a 1993 interview has videos of her performances. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:22, 13 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Schwede66. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Jonathan R. White".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! DreamRimmer bot II (talk) 20:24, 9 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Not my article. I nearly moved a draft within draft space to its common name. Schwede66 01:24, 10 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for posting Gyalo Thondup to RD. For future, it's nice when notifications get sent to nominators and updaters. Cielquiparle (talk) 07:40, 13 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, I forgot. Fixed now. Schwede66 08:00, 13 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hello! On Template:Did you know nominations/2025 Balkan retail boycotts, you stated that 2025 Southeast Europe retail boycotts couldn't be posted on DYK due to being on ITN. Is there a specific DYK or MP policy that prevents an item from being featured twice on a MP run? — Knightoftheswords 13:46, 13 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Have a read of WP:DYKNEW, Knightoftheswords281. Schwede66 14:26, 13 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

It is also ineligible if it has, within the year prior to nomination or between nomination and appearance on the Main Page, appeared as a boldlink at In the news (ITN) or in the prose section of Selected anniversaries (OTD), or as Today's featured article (TFA). A nomination must go on hold if the article has pending nominations to appear at any of the same.

So it would still be ineligible even when it rolls off ITN? — Knightoftheswords 15:30, 13 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Yes, because it has had its main page exposure. Schwede66 17:25, 13 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hello. Same as always .. if you agree, credit to you.

... Danielle Sassoon, former acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, credits her study of the Talmud as preparing her for her future legal career?

Sources: February 12, 2025, New York Times article: "An Ambitious Prosecutor Quits Rather Than Do Trump’s Bidding; Danielle R. Sassoon, Manhattan’s interim U.S. attorney, built a life on conservative values and amassed a daunting resume. On Thursday, she took a stand against the Justice Department where she had made her career. " "In high school, she spent hours each day studying the Talmud, an effort that she has said prepared her to study law." and December 22, 2020, video at 21:01: "Alumni in Conversation: Clerking for the Supreme Court." "When I interviewed for the clerkship with Justice Scala ... among the things he asked me was ' What prepared you to do well in law school; what sparked your interest in the law?', and what came to mind and what I said was 'in high school I studied Talmud for hours every day, and that process of engaging in really what's a form of the Socratic method, which is how they teach law school, and also spending days unpacking the meaning of a single word or a single line, prepared me for analyzing the law in a similar way,' and in a vein that was very appealing to Justice Scalia ...."
