June music[edit]

Today's story is about the TFA, by sadly missed Vami_IV. Thank you for scheduling it! In my support in 2018, I hoped to do justice to Schloss Köthen next - which I will begin today, finally, promised. Its Bachsaal was pictured to begin the year. For more related thoughts and music, look on my talk for 1 June. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:26, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Franz Kafka died 100 years ago OTD, hence the story, fond memories of collaboration. I uploaded a few pics from the visit of Graham87. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:49, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you today for Double sovereign, about "another in the sovereign series, and a relatively obscure one which was rarely struck until they started minting them for collectors"! - On the same page: Peter Demetz, what a life! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:10, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Today is "the day" for James Joyce, also for Bach's fourth chorale cantata (and why does it come before the third?) - the new pics have a mammal I had to look up. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:53, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New pics of food and flowers come with the story of Noye's Fludde (premiered on 18 June), written by Brian Boulton. I nominated Éric Tappy because he died, and it needs support today! I nominated another women for GA in the Women in Green June run, - review welcome, and more noms planned. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:04, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine. Wehwalt (talk) 16:14, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Now on the 24th. - Dank (push to talk) 18:33, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

South Pacific (musical)[edit]

Hello, Wehwalt. Please review the recent changes to South Pacific and see if you wish to tweak/change anything. All the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 07:01, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for June 11[edit]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Fourpence (British coin), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Anne of Great Britain.

(Opt-out instructions.) --DPL bot (talk) 18:13, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Asking your advice on a coin article[edit]

Howdy, Wehwalt! I know you have a number of the US classical commemoratives under your belt as FAs, and I thought that I might try my hand at some of those that still remain. I was wondering if you'd want to look at the rewrite I recently finished for Texas Centennial half dollar and see if there's anything that might need to be changed before FAC; I figured I might as well ask the expert at taking these things there, lol. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 20:13, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I guess the obvious thing that strikes me is that there's not much on the bill passing Congress to authorize this. I'll have more, I will comment on the talk page but I'm busy with a British coin article right now.--Wehwalt (talk) 20:47, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The King and I[edit]

Hi, Wehwalt. What do you think of this edit? -- Ssilvers (talk) 16:47, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oops?[edit]

Hey Wehwalt!

I went ahead and corrected a syntax mistake in your most recent comment at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Titles of European monarchs.[1] I hope you don't mind. I don't know what you were thinking when you introduced the broken bit of syntax... Your edit summary "oops" summarizes the edit perfectly,[2] but I presume that wasn't intentional. Renerpho (talk) 15:55, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bernadette Peters[edit]

I'm not sure this edit is necessary -- Playboy regularly featured non-nude celebrities. But I'm not strongly against it. What do you think? -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:44, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have a strong view on the subject. Wehwalt (talk) 11:37, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:20, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Campaign Slogans[edit]

Hi, I noticed you reverted my edits on the William McKinley and William Jennings Bryan 1896 presidential campaign articles saying those were not their slogans. Should the slogans be removed from the List of U.S. presidential campaign slogans article? That is where I got them from and if they were not the official slogans I see no reason for them to remain there. ARandomShyGuy (talk) 04:13, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I looked over that page and I doubt many, especially the early ones, are really slogans, but more phrases associated with the campaign. Wehwalt (talk) 12:17, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

TFA[edit]

Thank you, and all who helped over the years, today for Statue of Liberty, introduced (in 2010): "Having rather randomly looked at this article, I discovered it to be a near-gallery with shoddy text, so set about fixing it up. There is no doubt that there deserves to be a high-class article here given the number of schoolkids and others who no doubt consult Wikipedia prior to a visit." - My story today - by coincidence, and also on the Main page - is of the worldwide career of an Italian tenor who studied in Philadelphia and appeared there first, Lando Bartolini (who also had a rather limited article until a few days ago). Enjoy the day, and liberty! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:00, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Libuše Domanínská, the subject of yesterday's story, would have turned 100 today, but I missed that ;) - Overnight, Tamara Milashkina became GA. - 4 July is also the birthday of Brian Boulton who was a pioneer of a concise infobox in 2013. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:38, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
