If you are interested in running, please sign up here by 23:59 UTC on 14 September! Voting will commence on 15 September.

September music

[edit]
story · music · places

What do you think of my short version of the life of Alexander Goehr? Our DYK team would probably want to mention that he worked in a training kibbutz, while I was happy to include a link to an article by Brian Boulton, - we sang the Monteverdi Vespers on 1 September 2019. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:20, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's a very good, not-short article. ;) --Rosiestep (talk) 15:30, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You mean the biography? I meant my story ;) - Did you know that the article was much longer? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:40, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Today's story has 3 composers, I couldn't decide for the one on the Main page or the one who didn't make it on his bicentenary, so took both, and the pic has a third. Listen if you have a bit of time. The music, played by the Kyiv Symphony Orchestra in Germany in April 2022, impressed me. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:56, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Recommended reading today: Frye Fire, by sadly missed Vami_IV. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:31, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The strep throat issue makes this an interesting wildfire. Can't say that I remember it in particular as there are so many, over the years, in AZ, CA, etc. or maybe I just remember the CA ones better. Cool that the article is an FA now. --Rosiestep (talk) 22:23, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! - Happy because my story today is about a Czech mezzo soprano who is mentioned on the Main page on her birthday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:42, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Three stories related to today in memory, 11 September, 20 July and 20 June, the latter piece of art also pictured on the Main page. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:26, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Today is Schoenberg's 150th birthday! On display, portrayed by Egon Schiele, with music from Moses und Aron, and with two DYK hooks, one from 2010 and another from 2014; the latter, about his 40th birthday, appeared on his 140th birthday, which made me happy then and now again. - See places for a stunning sunrise, on the day Bruckner's 200th birthday was celebrated (just a few days late). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:24, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My story today is about a man who played jazz when it was banned by the Nazis, - you can listen to how they played it later. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:17, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
... and I see that he ran a winery and co-founded a music festival. --Rosiestep (talk) 23:54, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Good vision! And back then you could mention all these defining things in a DYK. - Lovely fall cat! - Ach, lieben Christen, seid getrost, BWV 114, is one of the pieces in my topic of this year. - Sunflowers, apples and plums among places. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:56, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Back in the day, I used to really enjoy DYK. I still think about cool and/or defining hooks when I create articles, but I totally lack the motivation to deal with the present system. As for sunflowers, apples and plums ... they conjure a perfect autumnal image. And, yes(!), today's cat, too. Thanks for noticing as I found it months ago but saved it for today. --Rosiestep (talk) 19:51, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For helping with the station category issue - the notion of 'Station' can be quite odd to persons not in OZ JarrahTree 04:13, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

JarrahTree - Glad I could add something to Tempe Downs Station. Love reading Wikipedia articles about Australia; always something to learn. (cc: Aliceinthealice) --Rosiestep (talk) 04:23, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Women in Green's "Around the World in 31 Days" GA Editathon – October 2024

[edit]

Hello Rosiestep:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

Wikimedia Foundation Bulletin September Issue 1

[edit]
Here is a quick overview of highlights from the Wikimedia Foundation over the first half of September 2024. Please help Translate.

Upcoming and current events and conversations Talking: 2024 continues


Annual Goals Progress on Infrastructure See also newsletters: Wikimedia Apps · Growth · Research · Web · Wikifunctions & Abstract Wikipedia · Tech News · Language and Internationalization · other newsletters on Mediawiki.org

  • Users of all Wikis will have access to Wikimedia sites as read-only for a few minutes on September 25, starting at 15:00 UTC. This is a planned datacenter switchover for maintenance purposes.
  • The Alternative Text suggested edits feature has now been fully deployed to production on the iOS App for Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, and French Wikipedias! This feature, part of WE1.2, is designed to enhance how newcomers add alt text to images, aiming to improve accessibility and engagement. For more details, visit the project page and explore the new feature in the app!
  • Editors and volunteer developers interested in data visualization can now test the new software for charts. Its early version is available on beta Commons and beta Wikipedia. This is an important milestone before making charts available on regular wikis. You can read more about this project update and help test the charts.
  • A new draft text of a policy discussing the use of Wikimedia’s APIs has been published on Meta-Wiki. The draft text does not reflect a change in policy around the APIs; instead, it is an attempt to codify existing API rules. Comments, questions, and suggestions are welcome on the proposed update’s talk page until September 13 or until those discussions have concluded.
  • More recent tech updates from Tech News.
  • The latest status updates from Wikifunctions.
  • Help us find WikiProjects or other online collaboration spaces!

Notable woman

[edit]

One woman a day... one list I'm looking at is notable Australians and I just completed a draft of Rosalie Stephenson who published a book about the lot of women. She usually used the name Ros Bower and there is an award in her memory,which is how I came over the first "Rosie Step". Have a hug, Roger aka Victuallers (talk) 07:54, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nicely done, Roger! Glad she's joined the ranks of Wikipedia. I'm happy to be in her company, and that of other "Rosie Step"s ... historical and future-wise. Hug back at you. --Rosiestep (talk) 14:55, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
