User talk:Maddy from Celeste
 | Sometimes I go on a wikibreak, and a variety of templates have been seen here to that effect. However, I usually only care to add a template when I am already on my way back from a break. Therefore, if you are in doubt whether I am currently active, check my contributions. Even if I don't edit, I remain logged in when reading, and will thus see (and try to respond to) any messages left here. |

July music
[edit] | |

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) 16:28, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- Oh, I've been missing out on your posts while I was gone, Gerda! I'll take this as a sign to go listen to Jessye Norman as soon as I have the chance :) -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 18:46, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- Better listen to her in other music, of course ;) - I didn't like the DYK's focus on celebrity, but it fit nicely today. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:44, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- I've been obsessed with Schubert's "Der Tod und das Mädchen" lately. I'll give her interpretation a listen once I'm home. :3 -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 20:04, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
- Sounds good! - Three Ukrainian topics were on the main page today, at least at the beginning, RD and DYK, - see my talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:21, 20 July 2025 (UTC)
- 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) 19:14, 23 July 2025 (UTC)
- Béatrice Uria-Monzon and her story, Julia Hagen and her no story --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:54, 26 July 2025 (UTC)
- On Bach's day of death, I decorated my user pages in memory, with his music, and my story ends on "peace". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:01, 28 July 2025 (UTC)
- Jahrhundertring remembered, with the picture of a woman who can't believe what she has to see --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:19, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – August 2025
[edit]News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2025).
Administrator changes
Guideline and policy news
- Following a request for comment, a new speedy deletion criterion, G15, has been enacted. It applies to pages generated by a large language model (LLM) without human review.
- Following a request for comment, there is a new policy outlining the granting of permissions to view the IP addresses of temporary accounts. Temporary account deployment on the English Wikipedia is currently scheduled for September 2025, and editors can request access to the permission ahead of time. Admins are encouraged to keep an eye on the request page; there will likely be a flood of editors requesting the permission when they realize they can no longer see IP addresses.
Technical news
- Administrators can now restrict the "Add a Link" feature to newcomers. The "Add a Link" Structured Task helps new account holders get started with editing. Administrators can configure this setting in the Community Configuration page.
Arbitration
- The arbitration case Indian military history has been closed.
- South Asia (WP:CT/SA) is designated a contentious topic. The topic area is specifically defined as
All pages related to the region of South Asia (India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal), broadly construed, including but not limited to history, politics, ethnicity, and social groups.
- The contentious topic designations for Sri Lanka (SL) and India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan (IPA) are folded into this new contentious topic.
- The community-authorized general sanctions regarding South Asian social groups (GS/CASTE) are rescinded and folded into this new contentious topic.
- South Asia (WP:CT/SA) is designated a contentious topic. The topic area is specifically defined as
