TFA

story · music · places

Today's TFA, Felix M. Warburg House, was written by Vami_IV and Epicgenius, introduced: "This article is about another of the great houses that once lined Fifth Avenue in New York. Specifically, this is the mansion of Felix M. Warburg, a Jewish financier who ignored fears of anti-Semitic reprisal to his decided to build himself a big Gothic manor in the middle of New York City. Although the Warburgs no longer remain, their legacy does: the museum is now the home of the Jewish Museum (Manhattan) and the building largely survives as they left it. It's a beautiful building and I hope you will all enjoy it."! - in memory -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:20, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Gerda Arendt, I've been listening to a lot of Romantic-period Spanish compositions while working on First Carlist War to get a nice historically-accurate mood in the background. I thought you'd be interested in checking out Siete canciones populares españolas (5th and 6th being my favorites), Granados' Oriental, Sarasate's Zigeunerweisen or Alvarez Alonso's Suspiros de España. Knowing you, you're probably familiar with them already but in case you aren't, I share. You tend to like opera/choral works most so I'm sorry only the last one is for voice (I myself am much more into sonatas and purely instrumental works. — ♠ Ixtal ( T / C ) ⁂ Non nobis solum. ♠ 05:41, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
I like many kinds of music, thanks for sharing. - today's story has a pic of a woman holding her cat, a DYK of 5 years ago - the recent pics of places show 2 orange tip butterflies --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:59, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
Today's story mentions a concert I loved to hear and a piece I loved to sing in choir, 150 years old OTD. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:49, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Question from 3amWednesday on Internuclear ophthalmoplegia (10:09, 13 June 2024)

Hello! How should I create an external link to the corresponding article on EyeWiki, and also if I should link this at all? Should this be just be "[link INO]" or "[link INO] at EyeWiki" in the same kind of style as the Curlie template or something else? Thanks in advance --3amWednesday (talk) 10:09, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

3amWednesday, I'm not particularly convinced such a link fits the types of links usually placed on articles' external links sections (see WP:External links for an in-depth explanation of how external links are used on the wiki). — ♠ Ixtal ( T / C ) ⁂ Sign up for the 2024 DCWC! — Non nobis solum ♠ 11:06, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
