You may remember Maryvonne Le Dizès, my story today as on 28 August. Some September music was unusual: last compositions and eternal light, with Ligeti mentioned in story and music. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:58, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Today I remember an organist who was pictured on the Main page on his birthday ten years ago, and I found two recent organ concerts to match, - see top of my talk --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:44, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Today brought a timely promotion of Helmut Bauer to the Main page on the day when pieces from Mozart's Requiem were performed for him. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:07, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Barkeep49, can you unprotect Emmanuel Michael? You protected it in 2019 for repeated creation and now, I need to accept Draft:Emmanuel Michael. Best, Reading Beans 08:23, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure Michael is notable as a footballer but since that's not why the page was protected I've removed the protection and you're free to accept the draft. Barkeep49 (talk) 14:42, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see a 50% chance of survival, so, thank you for unprotecting. Best, Reading Beans 03:11, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding this comment: I confess to be a bit confused. I understand the view that English Wikipedia doesn't necessarily benefit from having a surfeit of oversighters beyond what is needed at the moment. However if you're influenced (presumably favourably) by those you respect that oversight is a type of good admin badge, I feel the analogy breaks down, because I don't think there's a capacity concern with how many good admins are identified. isaacl (talk) 22:16, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That should have been should not. Sorry for the confusion. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 22:37, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, OK; that makes more sense. Thanks for the clarification! isaacl (talk) 22:39, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
