Hello Megalibrarygirl,

Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.

Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.

Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.

Suggestions:

• There is much enthusiasm over the low backlog, but remember that the "quality and depth of patrolling are more important than speed".
• Reminder: an article should not be tagged for any kind of deletion for a minimum of 15 minutes after creation and it is often appropriate to wait an hour or more. (from the NPP tutorial)
• Reviewers should focus their effort where it can do the most good, reviewing articles. Other clean-up tasks that don't require advanced permissions can be left to other editors that routinely improve articles in these ways (creating Talk Pages, specifying projects and ratings, adding categories, etc.) Let's rely on others when it makes the most sense. On the other hand, if you enjoy doing these tasks while reviewing and it keeps you engaged with NPP (or are guiding a newcomer), then by all means continue.

Backlog:

Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!

In the draft of the proposed article Tabular Byzantine calendar sent to you a mistake in the source led to the lengths of the lunar months being incorrectly stated. Please amend paragraph 5 to read:

Here is the full text. If you can review, open the page in mainspace and copy/paste the following it will be so much appreciated.

The tabular Byzantine calendar is used to calculate the date of Easter. It dates back to AD 284, when the new moon fell on the sixth epagemonal day of the Alexandrian calendar (29 August). Eusebius (vii.32) recounts that Anatolius of Laodicea was the first to arrange the 19-years cycle (when the new moon returns to the same Julian date) for ecclesiastical purposes. Anatolius says that he places the new moon of the first year of his cycle on the Alexandrian equivalent of 22 March, the day of the vernal equinox. In the Julian calendar, the equinox recedes at the rate of 1 day in 128 years; by the time of the First Council of Nicaea in AD 325 it was falling on 21 March. 22 March is 26 Phamenoth in the Alexandrian calendar.

The lunar new year was not allowed to begin before 15 Thoth (12 September, or 13 September if the following February has 29 days), and the month in which Easter fell was not allowed to begin before 12 Phamenoth (8 March). As the paschal full moon (the full moon before Easter), like all full moons is assigned to the 14th day of the lunar month, its earliest date was thus 25 Phamenoth (21 March), and Easter fell at earliest on 26 Phamenoth (22 March) and at latest on 30 Pharmouthi (25 April). The month in which Easter fell could thus begin no later than 10 Pharmouthi (5 April) and the Easter full moon could fall no later than 18 April (23 Pharmouthi).

If, at the end of the twelfth lunar month, the next lunar month would begin before 15 Thoth, an additional 30-day month was inserted. This caused Easter to jump forward in years 3, 6, 9, 11, 14, 17 and 19 of the cycle. The lunar date of the sixth epagemonal day (considered the first day of a leap year) was the same as that of the previous day. The Alexandrian months, all of thirty days, are:

1. Thoth

2. Phaophi

3. Athyr

4. Choiac

5. Tybi

6. Mechir

7. Phamenoth

8. Pharmouthi

9. Pachom

10. Payni

11. Epiphi

12. Mesore

The first lunar month had 29 days, and following lunar months had 30 and 29 days alternately. Thus the sixth lunar month, preceding the one in which Easter fell, had 30 days, minimising the chance of Easter clashing with Passover. This calendar uses the Callippic cycle of 76 years, under which the lunar year averages 365.25 days. But with this arrangement the lunar year averages 366.25 days. Therefore, in cycle 19, when the eleventh lunar month began on 7 Mesore and had 29 days, the next month (beginning on 1 Thoth) also had 29 days (saltus lunae) and the first month of the new lunar year began on 30 Thoth. In the sixth century, after it accepted that it no longer mattered if the birthday of Rome (23 April) fell within Lent, the Roman church abandoned its own calculation (the Supputatio Romana) for the Alexandrian one. This involved recasting the lunar months so that their first days were given in terms of the Julian calendar. While Easter continued to jump forward in years 3, 6, 8, 11, 14, 17 and 19 of the cycle the extra months were more equitably spaced, generally being hidden within those Julian months which contained two new moons. Their starting dates were:

Cycle 3 - 1 January

Cycle 5 - 2 September

Cycle 8 - 6 March

Cycle 11 - 3 January

Cycle 13 - 31 December

Cycle 16 - 1 September

Cycle 19 - 5 March

In addition to its error of 1 day in 128 years as regards the sun the Julian calendar had an error of 1 day in 308 years as regards the moon in the same direction - thus by 1582 the actual new moons were falling three days earlier than their tabulated dates. Pope Gregory XIII wanted to reform the calendar, which he did by decreeing that most centennial years would not be leap years. He also brought the tabular equinox back to 21 March by omitting the ten days 5 to 14 October 1582. He decided that Easter would continue to fall between 22 March and 25 April in his new calendar, which posed a problem - the First Council of Arles in AD 314 had decreed that Easter would be observed by all on the same day, so it was not open to him to change it unilaterally. Also the First Council of Nicaea in AD 325 had decreed that the Easter full moon must not fall before the equinox and the tables were constructed to agree as nearly as possible with the Jewish calendar - in fact after they were constructed in the third century they were declared to be a more accurate version of the Jewish calendar than the one the Jews themselves were using.^[1] Gregory got round that by lying - claiming that the Council had decreed that Easter would be the Sunday after the first full moon after the equinox. The result was that instead of falling during the Passover Easter began to fall more and more frequently within the last Jewish month. This could not be more unfortunate, because the full moon of that month is marked by the rumbustious festival of Purim, which could not be less appropriate for the solemnities of Holy Week. Hence the surreal situation in Stamford Hill on Palm Sunday, 24 March 2024, when a small Muslim boy, watching the Purim festivities, asked his mother "Is it Easter?" to which she replied "No. Easter is Jesus Christ. It is completely different."

Gregory moved the new moons back three days, to make them agree with the real new moons. To keep them in agreement, he instituted the "lunar correction", whereby they are shifted back 1 day 8 times in 2500 years. The next 8 adjustments will occur on 1 March of the years 2100, 2400, 2700, 3000, 3300, 3600, 3900 and 4300. While Gregory decreed that the "solar correction" (the omission of a centennial leap day) occur 3 times in 400 years, this only reduces the backward movement of the equinox to 1 day in 3323 years. Orthodox churches instead apply the correction 7 times in 900 years, keeping the calendar correct to one day in 44,000 years. In the Exigian calendar the rule is that a centennial year is only a leap year if it gives remainder 200 or 700 when divided by 900. The first centennial leap year was 1600 and the second 2000. This arrangement means that when the calendar is projected beyond the Christian era the rule is the same - thus the first two centennial leap years were -200 (201 BC) and -700 (701 BC).^[2] It also minimises the number of occasions on which the dates of the new moons are moved in a centennial year. As the solar correction moves them forward a day and the lunar correction moves them back a day, when these corrections coincide (e.g. in 2100, 2400 and 2700) they stay where they are.

The names of the lunar months are as follows:

1. Harriet (29 days)

2. Ronan (30 days)

3. Miri (29 days - Orthodox Easter (except in the Finnish Orthodox Church) always falls in this month)

4. James (30 days)

5. Eloise (29 days)

6. Thomas (30 days)

vii (29 days)

8. Nicholas (30 days)

9. Catherine (29 days)

10. Richard (30 days - 29 in cycle 19, when the saltus lunae is applied)

11 Emma (29 days)

12 Paul (30 days)

Seven times in 19 years an additional 30 day month (Paul II) occurs between Paul and Harriet. To aid use (in religious houses the lunar date of the following day is announced daily at Lauds after the reading of the Martyrology) months commemorating female saints have 29 days and months commemorating male saints (apart from the saltus lunae) have 30 days. The repetition of the lunar date on the leap day is preserved - thus 28 February 2028 is 3 Ronan bis, 29 February is 3 Ronan and 1 March is 4 Ronan. In houses where the leap day continues to be placed between 23 and 24 February the sequence is modified accordingly. The derivation of the names is as follows:

(1) Harriet is a diminutive of Henrietta. Wife of Charles I, she was the ancestor of several monarchs.

(2) St Ronan was a key figure in the implementation of a common Easter date at the Synod of Whitby in 664.

(3) Miri is a contraction of Mariam, the given name of the Mother of God.

(4), (6), (12) James, Thomas and Paul were apostles.

(5) Héloïse was an abbess who reached a rank equivalent to that of Bishop.

(8), (9) Nicholas and Catherine are well-known saints.

(10) Richard I, known as Coeur de Lyon, was instrumental in recovering the Holy Land from the Saracens.

(11) Emma was the mother of Edward the Confessor.

(13) Paul II was Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople 641-653, and a Pope of that name reigned 1464-1471.

Occidental Easter generally falls between 15 and 21 Miri, on whichever day is Sunday. There are three exceptions:

(1) If 14 Miri falls on 18 April and a golden number is marked against 6 April, Easter falls on 18 April (if Sunday) and otherwise on the Sunday following 18 April. The golden number marks the year's position in the 19-year cycle and is placed in the calendar against the first days of the lunar months.

(2) If 14 Miri falls on 19 April Easter falls on 19 April (if Sunday) and otherwise on the Sunday following 19 April.

(3) If 14 Miri falls on 20 April or later the date against which it stands is to be treated as a day of March and Easter falls on the day after the Saturday following that date.

Example calculation

On what date does occidental Easter fall in 2025?

2025 + 1 = 2026; 2026/19 = 106 remainder 12. The golden number is 12. In the calendar, 12 (marking 1 Miri) stands against 31 March. The dominical letter is E. This is placed against all the Sundays in the year. A leap year has two dominical letters, one for January and February and the other (one place back in the series) for March to December. Easter falls on 20 April because that is an E day and the date, 21 Miri, lies between 15 and 21 Miri (inclusive).

Orthodox Easter does not admit the lunar correction. Therefore, when Gregory moved the new moons back three days Orthodox Easter fell between 18 and 24 Miri. Another correction in 1800 means that until 2099 Orthodox Easter falls between 19 and 25 Miri, and so on. As 20 April is 21 Miri, Orthodox Easter falls on that day.

The calendar may be used to locate the approximate position of the moon at any time. There are innumerable applications.

The "establishment" of a port is approximately the time between the moon's meridian passage (above and below the horizon) and high water. Tidal range is greatest in the middle and at the end of the lunar month ("spring tides") and at the equinoxes. For accurate predictions use official tables. An example calculation follows.

It is 9 PM Greenwich Mean Time in London on 15 February 2024. The golden number is 11, which is printed against 11 February. This is the lunar new year (1 Harriet) and 15 February is therefore 5 Harriet. At the end of the previous month (as at the end of every lunar month) the sun and moon are together in the sky, but the lunar day is on average 4/5 hour longer than the solar day. Thus at 9 PM it is only 5 PM by the moon. Whether the moon is visible at that time may be determined using the fact that the moon moves through the zodiac at the rate of 13.2° per day (compared to 1° per day for the sun). On 15 February (5 Harriet) the moon will have advanced (5 x (13.2 - 1)) = 5 x 12.2 = about 61° ahead of the sun. So it will be where the sun will be about 61 days later, i.e. around 16 April.

But there is another factor. The moon's ascending node (where the plane of its orbit crosses the ecliptic in a northerly direction) moves backwards, completing a circuit relative to the equinox in 18.6 years. When the longitude is 0° (which it will reach around 29 January 2025) it reaches a maximum of 5° further from the celestial equator than does the sun (the major standstill). Half a revolution later (the minor standstill) it reaches a maximum of 5° nearer to the celestial equator than does the sun.

So considering the moon's position at 9 PM on 15 February 2024 we look where the sun would be at 5 PM on 16 April and (since the date is fairly close to the major standstill) a little higher in the sky. The moon was thus looked for (and was seen) high in the west.

The calendar may be used to predict eclipses. As the node revolves through 360° in 18.6 years, each month it will retrograde about ((360/18.6)/12)° = 1.61°. As the ascending node reaches 0° around 29 January 2025, in September 2024 its longitude is around 6° and the descending node (directly opposite) is around 186°. The sun reaches ecliptic longitude 186° around 30 September. There will be a lunar eclipse if the full moon (usually on the 14th of the lunar month) occurs within 13 days either side of the sun passing through either node. For solar eclipses (at the end of the lunar month) the "eclipse season" is 19 days either side of the sun's passage through a node. The nearer to the node the sun is the greater the eclipse will be. In 2024, 14 Nicholas corresponds to 18 September. As this is just within the eclipse season there will be a small partial eclipse. This reaches a maximum at 02:44 GMT when 8.5% of the disc is obscured. On 28 Nicholas, when the sun is very close to the node, the annular solar eclipse of October 2, 2024 occurs. If the solar eclipse occurs within 11 days of the sun passing through the node (as here) it will be central (total or annular). As the "eclipse season" is longer than a lunar month there will always be at least one eclipse every time the sun passes through a node, which it does on average every 173.2979 days

As virtually all religions use lunar calendars, the calendar aids in planning rest days in for example conferences attended by members of different faiths. The Jewish Passover almost always occurs during Miri, and the High Holy Days almost always occur during Catherine.

Hi Megalibrarygirl,

I seem to have had some issues getting a bio on artist Marie Tomanova published and, in fact, it was deleted. It was suggested in a link that I contact any user on a list to get it moved or reinstated. Could you help me with that? And maybe give me some advice or guiadance?

Thank you,

Hi Wenncesslas! I went over to the article, but I couldn't see where it was deleted. Am I spelling this correctly: Marie Tomanova? Do you need additional sources? Megalibrarygirl (talk) 16:06, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Megalibrarygirl,

Thank you for your response. Perhaps it is called: Draft:Marie Tomanova. It was deleted, as indicated in the copy/paste from the log below at the end of this message. I am a tad concerned/confused by this Wiki experience so far and I would love any help to follow protocol and get this published. My understanding is that I was submitting a working draft, not a final, and thus some things were going to be cleaned up. Of greater concern is the assertion of lack of notablilty, esp. not supported by reliable sources. My feeling is a personage with a NYT feature, the subject of an HBO documentary, and three monographs, and an international solo exhibiton record is enough evidence of notablility. I would certainly appreciate any and all help and, of course, I would love citation help if you have time and energy.

If possible to undelete, so that I may continue to work and refine, I would appreciate it very much. If possible, where then would I have access to that?

Warmly,

Hi Wenncesslas! I took a look at the draft. Since she's the subject of a documentary and is published with some reviews, it seems like she might be notable. However, I can see why the article was seen as promotional and probably a copyright violation. It will need a lot of cleanup to be more neutral and to align with Wikipedia standards. As a new editor, it's important to learn how to write in a neutral way on Wikipedia. Have you thought about working on other articles first to get a good handle on editing? I can restore a draft to your userspace where you will have more time to work on your skills. If I restore the draft, I'll be removing promotional material, so you can see how that works, too. Let me know if you want to continue your work on Tomanova. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 22:36, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear MegalibraryGirl,

Thank you for your response and I would love to have the draft restored on Tomanova, so that I may take your advice and edit accordingly with accepted protocols. I appreciate your help and guidance and will do as your suggested. May I ask for your opinion on next draft?

Warmly,

W

I removed promotional material and did some ref cleanup. Let me know if you need more help! Keep the tone neutral! :) User:Wenncesslas/Marie Tomanova Megalibrarygirl (talk) 16:57, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Megalibrarygirl - It is not necessary to move problematic drafts from draft space into user space, and it complicates the review process. Please leave problematic drafts in draft space, and either comment on them, or improve them, or leave them alone. When problematic articles are found in article space, they are moved to draft space, which is where problematic pages can be worked on. Please don't move the drafts of other editors into user space.

@Robert McClenon: I know it's not necessary. In this case, I found the situation to be non-routine, so I deemed it best to go into Userspace, rather than Draftspace. Because this is a new user, they can have more time to work on the article and be able to make sure the article is good before they resubmit the draft. The history is still included.

Hello,

I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Wikipedia. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.

Take the survey here.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
