October music

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) 13:26, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I made Leif Segerstam my big story today. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:02, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for improving articles on October! - My story today is a cantata 300 years old, based on a hymn 200 years old when the cantata was composed, based on a psalm some thousand years old, - so said the 2015 DYK hook. I had forgotten the discussion on the talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:02, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Developing: Susheel Cleatus MD Inc

Hello Thank you for your review, the helpful comments, the advice and directions provided. I intent to study them and implement your suggestions. My experience is limited. I hope for your forbearance of my attempts and kind indulgence to help me a little through this. I am trying to support a health charity which is worthy and deserves help. It does good work among the needy and my efforts will not be wasted. I will outline some problems I face..

1. You mentioned references and citations: I have difficulty in linking citations to the appropriate text and pointing to references.

2. I need help with a format to develop and expand the article in a systematic way. As you correctly pointed out it is falling short of standards.

Once again thank for your comments and suggestions. I will work to remedy the shortcomings and look forward to your guidance that will help me. "Mimiscule" Mimiscule (talk) 15:09, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Mimiscule, thanks for your message. You might find this help page useful if you need instruction on how to create references on Wikipedia. Just so you know, I did not decline your article because of the lack of formatting or structure, which can be relatively easily fixed during review. The more important concern is that the subject of the draft does not pass the notability guideline for organizations — I'd highly recommend you address this first, as no amount of formatting will fix a non-notable subject. In order to demonstrate notability, search for the existence of at least a couple of reliable sources which have significant coverage of the company and add them to the draft, which will significantly improve your chances in a future AfC review. Let me know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 20:55, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Thank you for the advice, suggestions and guideline pointers. I will rework by those directions and gather further information from the suggested sources.

I am grateful for the offered help and will get in touch once I am on my way and if need be. Thanks and regards. Mimiscule (talk) 18:43, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Citation for original dub of Castle in the Sky

For the record, I've googled Magnum Video Tape to see if there are any outside sources to cite, but they wouldn't allow me any preview passages to read. TheMaxM1 (talk) 16:33, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for doing that, TheMaxM1. I haven't seen all of the books listed at that link, but I can confirm that the books I have read, particularly The Art of Castle in the Sky and Studio Ghibli: The Films of Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata don't contain information about the 1988 dub. this book, by the way, would be a circular reference as it seems to be just an older version of the Wikipedia article. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 16:48, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request comments for 1920 Xalapa earthquake

Hi! I see you're from WP:PR so I'm requesting if you could take a look at the article's prose while the peer review is active. I hope to bring this to FAC, which will be my first time, but prose is something I need help with. Please let me know if you have the time. Thanks Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 11:24, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
