Thank you today for Flight Pattern, "about a dance performance depicting the plight of a group of refugees. Choreographed by Crystal Pite for The Royal Ballet, it was the first time in 18 years that the ballet company commissioned a work by a woman. If successful, I think this would be English Wikipedia's second featured article about a dance performance, and I would like this to be TFA on World Refugee Day."! - Great to see the Royal Opera House pictured, the work of a woman exposed, a problem of humanity in focus! - Sofia Gubaidulina is remembered on the same page. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:05, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main page as Today's featured article. Keep up the great work! Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) via FACBot (talk) 12:05, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello.

I tried to ask someone else, but they wouldn't respond. It's my first time ever nominating something for DYK so I actually don't know how to edit it. I'm also unsure as to how to address the "the meat of it doesn't check out" part and assumed this meant that my entry would be rejected. May I please have some guidance? Thank you. Bloomagiliw (talk) 17:56, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bloomagiliw: Are you referring to your nomination at Template:Did you know nominations/Maharani (song)? If you click on that blue text, it will open the nomination where anyone can edit it. If you want to propose a new hook, just add "ALT1" followed by the new proposed hook. I suggest proposing multiple hooks (ALT2, ALT3, etc.) so that reviewers can pick the best one. Z1720 (talk) 21:33, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I can edit it now. But I'm struggling to understand this: "...the meat of it doesn't check out; the hook puts the claim in wikivoice while the article attributes."

The hook is from a report about Billboard Philippines' charts, made by Billboard Philippines themselves. May I please know how to address the "the meat of it doesn't check out" bit? Bloomagiliw (talk) 21:53, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bloomagiliw: I don't know the answer because I didn't write that comment. I would post that question in the nomination. Z1720 (talk) 01:32, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Before you take down old GAs, what is the upcoming of GAs in mathematics? I am putting effort into some articles for improvement, but the randomness of your choice is unknown to me. Would you like to provide some, please? Also, I won't mind if you put the citation needed tags on the unsourced sections before GAR, as long as someone may have paid attention and can easily help to provide some.

Many thanks. Dedhert.Jr (talk) 08:20, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

GA criteria. I nominate articles for GAR when concerned that the article does not meet the criteria. If you are interested in finding articles that might need some improvements, I suggest clicking on Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Sweeps 2023, which lists older GAs with lots of uncited passages. I only add citation needed templates when asked because it is time-consuming and some editors view them as "disruptive". Let me know if there are articles that you would like me to review and add the citation needed templates to (if necessary). You can also install this script: User:Phlsph7/HighlightUnreferencedPassages.js, which is what I use to help find uncited passages in an article. Happy editing!

Hi. I am asking you just because your name was at the top of the "Recently Active Admin" tool, hope that's okay with you. I noticed this very suspicious user – DCAllStar – they are a brand new user, apparently created just to close an article move discussion, they know about tools like MovePlus – seems very likely a

Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/July 1: I wonder why you removed the centenary of Satie's death. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:27, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• @Gerda Arendt: Erik Satie was featured on OTD on May 17, 2025. OTD tries not to have the same article featured multiple times in a year. Z1720 (talk) 18:15, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I prefer birthdays, but had I known how strictly that it is handled, I would have gone for the centenary. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:48, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • I also prefer birthdays, and its no big deal. This will allow Rhoda Delaval to shine even brighter. Z1720 (talk) 22:26, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I asked on classical music if we could make Satie a GA, short answer "no", and planned to make a composition GA, but the one who made the best step forward was blocked ... - in a way it matches Satie, sadly. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:45, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    • @Gerda Arendt: It might be too late to get it to GA status, for his birthday, but there is nothing stopping you from making improvements. I think Tim's reluctance about it is other editors adding POV cruft: if you make a good faith effort to add your own improvements, maybe you and Tim can work together to get it promoted.

I wish that was possible (and don't want to go into details of why I don't see it coming again). All I wanted to explain is: I went for mentioning him on his centenary day on DYK, but it didn't work, on two levels. Only then, frustrated already, did I place him on OTD. - I don't know if you followed that the same thing happening for Easter: GA and DYK nom Easter Oratorio for the 300th anniversary of the music, not successful in time (took seven more weeks), OTD nom, not successful because there's a rule (that it has to be the calendar date, not "Easter"). - I should stick with RD, right now Gertrud Leutenegger on the Main page, and there were only few days without highlighting a great person, for a sad reason but better than not at all. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:57, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

While you are of course invited to check out my recommendations any day, today offers unusually a great writer of novels, music with light and a place with exquisite food. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:44, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Admin, can you verify if am wrong here for AFD submission for this article Rameshwarlall_Daulatram_Nopany AliveNull (talk) 18:55, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• @AliveNull: It looks like the article had been previously PRODded in 2022, so this might get removed. If it does, and you still think this person doesn't meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines, please nominate it for AfD. You will have to explain why the article's references do not establish notability for this person. Z1720 (talk) 18:58, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
