Your subscriptions with the Feedback Request Service

Hi Zingarese! You're receiving this notification because you were previously subscribed to the Feedback Request Service for one or both of the Good Article nomination categories "Arts" and "Everyday life".

You may have noticed that the Feedback Request Service has been inoperative for a number of months, and Yapperbot is currently in the process of taking over from Legobot in performing the requests. In that process, the subscription categories have been updated to match the current categories used by the Good Articles project, and neither "Arts" nor "Everyday life" is used anymore.

What this means is:

If you were subscribed to "Arts", your preference has been transferred to Art and architecture as a new category, which you have automatically been opted in to. You may also be interested in Music and/or Media and drama; however, you have not automatically been opted in to these. If you wish to opt in to these, you should follow the process below.
If you were subscribed to "Everyday life", you have been unsubscribed entirely from that category, as the category is too vague to assign to any of the new, more specific, categories.

You are encouraged to review your FRS preferences to ensure that they match your interests; there are a number of new categories you can now opt in to additionally. To do this, you should:

Go to the Feedback Request Service page.
If you were previously subscribed to "Arts" and wish to unsubscribe from "Art and architecture", scroll to that subheading and remove your {{Frs user}} template.
If you wish to subscribe to an additional category, you should do so by pasting {{Frs user|{{subst:currentuser}}|limit}} underneath the relevant heading, where limit is the maximum number of requests you wish to receive for that category per month.
Publish the page.

Please note that any subscription preferences you had with the FRS for requests for comment have not been affected by these changes.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the Feedback Request Service talk page, or on Yapperbot's operator's talk page. Thank you!

Jesu, meine Freude

Thank you for copyediting! I don't know which word to use to say that it is yes, five-part, but not throughout. I'd think that with unqualified "five-part", a reader might think it's five-part from beginning to end, - a reader not looking at the lead image, because that's four-part, same music beginning and end. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:12, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dear @Gerda: I hope you and your loved ones are safe and healthy during this difficult time for us all. I understand what you are saying, and you are right! Basically is fine, but I think, in this context, that either fundamentally or essentially are better qualifiers. I'd also add "what is" right before whichever qualifier is used - the wording is more concise this way. Something like this: Looking at the four-part settings of the chorale movements 1, 7 and 11, which seem unusual for what is essentially a five-part work. What do you think? You did such an incredible job with this article, and I wish you nothing but the best throughout the GA proceedings! Zingarese talk · contribs 03:00, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for Creation: List of reviewers by subject notice

Hi Zingarese/Archives/2020, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.

Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.

To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!

Sent to all Articles for Creation reviewers as a one-time notice. To opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page. Regards, Sam-2727 (talk)
