Franz Kafka died 100 years ago OTD, hence the story. I uploaded a few pics from the visit of Graham87. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:28, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
Today's story is about a tune used by Bach and Mozart. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:58, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
Today is "the day" for James Joyce, also for Bach's fourth chorale cantata (and why does it come before the third?) - the new pics have a mammal I had to look up. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:36, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
New pics of food and flowers come with the story of Noye's Fludde (premiered on 18 June), written by Brian Boulton. I nominated Éric Tappy because he died, and it needs support today! I nominated another women for GA in the Women in Green June run, - review welcome, and more noms planned. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:28, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
Block of Evrik
Could you make a post on his talk page explaining the situation? I don't see anything except a short block summary with no link to relevant discussion. I've occasionally interacted with this user and I thought they were an editor in good standing, and would like to learn more about what happened. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:02, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Piotrus: The block is based on CU data and I cannot reveal additional details under the WMF's current privacy policy. What I can say is that their behavior fell under several of the prohibited actions enumerated at WP:BADSOCK. -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 01:36, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- I appreciate your reply, but I find the lack of transparency worrisome. To be clear, I am not criticizing you personally, but what checks and balances exist that can be verified by the community that such a block is justified? How is what happening here different from a secret trial? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:38, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- Evrik can appeal his block on his talk page to any checkuser. UTRS is also an option if he would like to appeal in private. If his appeal is denied he can appeal to the arbitration committee. If a user feels that I misused the checkuser tool they can ask either the arbitration committee or the global Ombuds commission to investigate. -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 13:22, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for explaining. For the record, I have full trust in you, I am just concerned about checks and balances in the system. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:37, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for checking Piotrus. It was a surprise to me as well - I am fond of working with Erik. Lightburst (talk) 00:21, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
