  • A new preference named "Enable limited width mode" has been added to the Vector 2022 skin. The preference is also shown as a toggle on every page if your monitor is 1600 pixels or wider. When disabled it removes the whitespace added by Vector 2022 on the left and right of the page content. Disabling this preference has the same effect as enabling the wide-vector-2022 gadget.

Guideline and policy news

  • Following an RfC, editors indefinitely site-banned by community consensus will now have all rights, including sysop, removed.
  • As a part of the Wikimedia Foundation's IP Masking project, a new policy has been created that governs the access to temporary account IP addresses. An associated FAQ has been created and individual communities can increase the requirements to view temporary account IP addresses.

Technical news

  • Bot operators and tool maintainers should schedule time in the coming months to test and update their tools for the effects of IP masking. IP masking will not be deployed to any content wiki until at least October 2023 and is unlikely to be deployed to the English Wikipedia until some time in 2024.

Arbitration

  • The arbitration case World War II and the history of Jews in Poland has been closed. The topic area of Polish history during World War II (1933-1945) and the history of Jews in Poland is subject to a "reliable source consensus-required" contentious topic restriction.

Hi User:Wikipcontributor800, your submission was declined because it was poorly sourced.

July music

3 July is the birthday of Leoš Janáček, and I'm happy I had a meaningful DYK in 2021: thank you for did for his article! - It's also the birthday of Franz Kafka, and I uploaded pics from his family's album seen in Berlin. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:09, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gerda . I scrolled through your page of stories and I must say ... your choice, variety and variability of topics, overall beauty and aesthetic of your contributions is so close to my heart like nothing else on Wikipedia. I'm sending you my favourite and most beautiful piece from On an Overgrown Path, it's performed by lesser known but excellent Jan Jiraský, who connects very well the lyrical expression and urgent or maybe even anxious rhythmical contradiction present in many of Janáček's works in one moment. Enjoy and ... be well. Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 08:42, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
blushing - thank you for understanding! I listened with joy! The closest I came to Janáček was singing the Glagolitic Mass in choir, understanding how his music is language-driven and so expressive. Seeing the Vixen (not cunning, not little) in Munich was also great. - I added a few images, - keep looking at story music places, - for example today's music matching the Italian tenor of the story. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:29, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My story today is - because of the anniversary of the premiere OTD in 1782 - about Die Entführung aus dem Serail, opera by Mozart, while yesterday's was - because of the TFA - about Les contes d'Hoffmann, opera by Offenbach, - so 3 times Mozart again if you click on "music" ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:30, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Today's story is about a photographer who took iconic pictures, especially View from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on Manhattan, 9/11, yesterday's was a great mezzo, and on Thursday we watched a sublime ballerina.

A Question

[edit]

Hi Vejvančický, how are you? The Transylvania events in 1848-49 was obviously complex and tragic. In an attempt to not falling into the trick of favoring or blaming either ethnic/nationalistic narratives (be it Hungarian or Romanian), being balanced and neutral is the key. So I wonder where would be the best places (book) to get a full picture of what happened in Transylvania between 1848-49 or probably other preludes to it? I am only asking this because the article posted on EN wiki is far from it. 2604:3D09:D07F:E580:0:0:0:A28A (talk) 21:16, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm ok, thanks. I touched the article 1848–1849 massacres in Transylvania during a deletion discussion back in 2010(!). I have no knowledge of Romanian or Hungarian, so I'd stick to English literature on G-books or JSTOR. The ethnic perspective/point od view is often a problem in this part of Europe. I agree that the article is far from being perfect, I just added some reliable information proving there's a room for expansion. I'm no expert in this area. Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 06:39, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your response. It seems the ethnic perspective/point od view is often a problem in areas where complexities of multi-ethnicity are involved and history has been way too complex to use ethnic/national narratives as explanation. For instance, I read that there were "complex grey areas" in Hungarian Revolution 1848-49 when armies of both sides were racially and linguistically mixed (common sign for multi-national states), soldiers (and officers) were recruited or join for various reasons (volunteer, forced conscription, batter pay, employment etc.), not simply a case of who support XX side. the problematic discipline of different armies (be it regular or militia) and disregard for human lives and values (in comparison to today's world, but even today's world these problems still exist unfortunately) also presented a major challenge back then. The longer one's fighting the longer one could have become more insensitive. For instance, I've read it after being routed at Novara 1849, there were stragglers of Sardinian army who felt bitter because of being "involuntarily" conscripted for fighting the war, and they looted their own countrymen from villages as they passed through. And Novi Sad's population fell from 20000 to 7000 (including those who returned later) and 3/4 of town was devastated. 2604:3D09:D07D:6250:F0C9:ABF4:13C8:1D11 (talk) 17:51, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
followed the last paragraph, ...and 3/4 was devasted after heavy bombardment and then being captured by Hungarians in 1848-49 War. There were cases of the battlefield close to village and casualties of civilian population occurred as a result... Really sad. 2604:3D09:D07D:6250:F0C9:ABF4:13C8:1D11 (talk) 17:56, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If convenient and possible for you, would it be okay if we discuss via emails? Please reply thank you. 2604:3D09:D07F:E580:0:0:0:A28A (talk) 21:24, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jiří Suchý, a true legend

[edit]

Hello Antonín, I have had a brief look at your article on Jiří Šlitr, which I find really good. Would you please consider expanding the article on Jiří Suchý, too? The condition whereof is rather embarrassing, given the renownness of the personality, albeit in the Czech and Czechoslovak milieu. In other words, do we need to provide English information on him and his merit only after he passes away? I daresay he deserves a much better and larger entry, but my own Wikipedia editting skills are, mildly speaking, insufficient. Thank you for considering the issue, of course if you have enough time for it. Srdečně, Zinædryl kinéaedrilleur (talk) 18:34, 30 September 2024 (UTC) After all, the Master turns 93 tomorrow![reply]

Hi, I always liked Šlitr more than Suchý but I admit that Suchý is a legend of Czech theatre. I'd like to expand, but as you say - I don't have enough time to focus on it. Maybe one day ... would you mind to check the grammar if I do so? I'm loosing contact with English written word and I think it is more and more visible in my contributions :( Wikipedia needs excellent writers.
