July music

[edit]
story · music · places

If you like Brahms, I recommend the streaming of yesterday's concert. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:06, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Alas it's not available in my country. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 21:36, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry about that, I heard the same about Australia. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:12, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Today is Bastille Day, commemorated by a DYK as my "story" and a visit to the Bastille Opera in "music". I like the interview coming with the story, on the day before the big event, but for pomp and circumstance, the affair with 600 singing children and orchestra, and the singer dressed in the national flag, was also captured on videos, much slower. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:49, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Check out places for a great smile, - he had just stepped in to play Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2, successfully! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:00, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Three Ukrainian topics were on the main page today, at least at the beginning, RD and DYK, - see my talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:44, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Three of "my" recent deaths bios are on the main page right now, one my story today, Gary Karr, and I loved to find his breakthrough concert in 1962 as a video. In my music today I match it with 9 other double bassists, 7 conducted by a person who's birthday is today - coincidence ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:52, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Béatrice Uria-Monzon and her story, Julia Hagen and her no story --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:01, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
On Bach's day of death, I decorated my user pages in memory of his music, and my story ends on "peace". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:01, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Tech News: Temporary accounts have been rolled out on 18 large and medium-sized Wikipedias, including German, Japanese, French, and Chinese; The CampaignEvents extension has been enabled on all Wikipedias. More updates from Tech News week 27 and 28.
  • AbuseFilter: AbuseFilter maintainers can now match against IP reputation data in AbuseFilters. IP reputation data is information about the proxies and VPNs associated with the user’s IP address. This data is not shown publicly and is not generated for actions performed by registered accounts.
  • Favorite Templates: A new feature related to Template Recall and Discovery will be deployed to all Wikimedia projects: a template category browser will be introduced to assist users in finding templates to put in their “favourite” list. The browser will allow users to browse a list of templates which have been organised into a given category tree. The feature has been requested by the community through the Community Wishlist.
  • Wikipedia App: We have launched an A/B test of tabbed browsing in the Wikipedia iOS app. This feature allows users to open multiple articles in separate tabs, making it easier to switch between topics, explore, and return to previous reading spots. The test is currently running in Arabic, English, and Japanese in selected regions. We’re collecting feedback and plan to make the feature more widely available soon.
  • MediaWiki: The MediaWiki Platform team has introduced a unified Built-in Notifications system, as part of MediaWiki 1.44, that makes it easier for developers to send, manage, and customize notifications across the platform.

The Signpost: 18 July 2025

[edit]
Endowment tax form, Wikimania, elections, U4C, fundraising and a duck!
And how do we know?
Five-year journey comes to healthy fruition.
Wikimedians from around the world will gather in person and online at the twentieth annual meeting of Wikimania.
As well as "hermeneutic excursions" and other scientific research findings.
The report covers the Foundation's operations from July 2023 - June 2024
A step towards objective and comprehensive coverage of a project nearly too big to follow.
Drawn this century!
How data from the Wikipedia "necessary articles" lists can shed new light on the gender gap
Annual plans, external trends, infrastructure, equity, safety, and effectiveness. What does it all mean?
Rest in peace.
Wouldn't it be nice without billionaires, scandals, deaths, and wars?
If you are too blasé for Mr. Blasé and don't give a FAC.

BoT 2025?

[edit]

Hi Barkeep. Very few users have the in-depth, all round experience and institutional memory that you do. Few have been so engaged on various policy-changing projects. I once thought I did, but the interest waned somewhat 6 years ago and I've been pretty much put out to pasture by the new generations. I still follow a few things though and write the occasional article, and looking at the lineup for this year's scramble for the two community seats on the BoT election, while the contenders all mean well, apart from a couple it's more like a modern quest for takers for Arbcom (where you are missed). I'm sure though that you will turn out to vote, so if you do, here's my take on it, and I make no apology for canvassing. Warm regards, Chris. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:59, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Kudpung: it's strange that I am now one with insitutuional memory becuase when our work first intersected that wasn't the case. I appreciate you sharinf your guide. I'm curious about our ommission of James Alexander. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:39, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No, it wasn't the case, but people who are heavily and passionately engaged in a project tend to learn its history quite quickly and unconsciously. J. Alexander - no personal reason, but I am of the absolute conviction that it is not appropriate for past or present employees to be on the Board. Call it COI, if you will. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:03, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Transgender healthcare and people/Evidence. Please add your evidence by August 11, 2025 at 23:59 UTC, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Transgender healthcare and people/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Party Guide/Introduction. For the Arbitration Committee, Jenson (SilverLocust 💬) 06:52, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
