S. Walter Englander

Hello, I've made iterative edits - mostly grammar and structure - to the S. Walter Englander article. I noticed you placed the copyedit tag last month. Can you let me know if it looks any better, or what you would suggest/recommend? Thank you greatly.

Question from Phaxman (21:13, 28 September 2024)

Hello, GraziePrego!

I am a complete neophyte writing Wikipedia articles, but nevertheless have been trying to clean up, correct, and add to the article on CBS Laboratories, where I worked for several years. I have been adding to it bit by bit, but have just now been informed by a bot, apparently, about significant issues in my last changes.

After following all of the change pages, I now feel that I have understood what I am being asked to change, and why - hopefully you will agree.

Please let me know if I have missed any important items!

Appreciatively, Richard Johnson

September thanks

Thank you for improving article quality in September! - Today is the birthday of the 16th Thomaskantor after Bach, remembered. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:12, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much Gerda for all the excellent work you did in September and continue to do! :) GraziePrego (talk) 01:03, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for noticing! - John Rutter 80 today! I sang his major choral works with four choirs, and many of his uplifting anthems, 13 DYK? I watched him explain his Magnificat in person in 1998, and now see it on Youtube: he wore the same outfit. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:18, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My story today is about the principal violin of the Concentus Musicus; she would have been 95 OTD. I felt connected when the second oboist of our recent concert, of Haydn's Stabat Mater, said that he built an English horn for his performance of the work with the Concentus Musicus. - Concert weekend pictured in "places". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:25, 26 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Much of the editing was done in September but has now just passed today- I have gotten 2025 Australian federal election to GA, which is progress on my plan of getting all articles related to that election to GA or perhaps FA. Currently Candidates of the 2025 Australian federal election is under featured list review, which is a new fun experience for me. :) GraziePrego (talk) 07:33, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitration

After a motion, arbitration enforcement page protections no longer need to be logged in the AELOG. A bot now automatically posts protections at WP:AELOG/P. To facilitate this bot, protection summaries must include a link to the relevant CT page (e.g. [[WP:CT/BLP]]), and you will receive talk page reminders if you forget to specify the contentious topic but otherwise indicate it is an AE action.
