December music

edit
 
story · music · places

November was rich in sadness and happiness for me, expressed in music. Regarding my (archived question), I found one so far who looked deeply into the matter, Simonm223. There are two composers on the Main page today, Siegfried Thiele and Aaron Copland. I find the response of my friend Jerome Kohl to a question on Copland's article talk promising. What do you think? -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:15, 2 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Today's story comes from a DYK about a concert that fascinated me, and you can listen! For my taste, the hook has too little music - I miss the unusual scoring and the specific dedication - but it comes instead with a name good for viewcount. I'd still like to know what you think about the Copland posts. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:03, 6 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

On the Main page today Jean Sibelius on his birthday. Listening to Beethoven's Fifth from the opening of Notre-Dame de Paris. We sang in choirs today. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:12, 8 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi Leeky!

edit

Tamzin sent me. An IPv6 was messing about on Open Orthodoxy and I reverted them, but because I reverted quite a way back some good edits got caught in the crossfire, which I then had to restore. Would you be so kind to check if I did everything correctly? I know very very little about this topic. Tamzin blocked the IP. I basically had to revert almost everything back to here.

@Polygnotus: hey! thanks for taking care of that :) i made one cut, but it looks like most of the good edits made their way back in. Nice work! This article seems to be in... bad shape more generally. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 20:50, 6 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you! Yeah the article seems to attract people with strong opinions. It may be worth keeping an eye on. Polygnotus (talk) 22:35, 6 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Happy holidays!

Palestine-Israel articles 5 updates

edit

You are receiving this message because you are on the update list for Palestine-Israel articles 5. The drafters note that the scope of the case was somewhat unclear, and clarify that the scope is The interaction of named parties in the WP:PIA topic area and examination of the WP:AE process that led to two referrals to WP:ARCA. Because this was unclear, two changes are being made:

First, the Committee will accept submissions for new parties for the next three days, until 23:59, 10 December 2024 (UTC). Anyone who wishes to suggest a party to the case may do so by creating a new section on the evidence talk page, providing a reason with WP:DIFFS as to why the user should be added, and notifying the user. After the three-day period ends, no further submission of parties will be considered except in exceptional circumstances. Because the Committee only hears disputes that have failed to be resolved by the usual means, proposed parties should have been recently taken to AE/AN/ANI, and either not sanctioned, or incompletely sanctioned. If a proposed party has not been taken to AE/AN/ANI, evidence is needed as to why such an attempt would have been ineffective.

Second, the evidence phase has been extended by a week, and will now close at 23:59, 21 December 2024 (UTC). For the Arbitration Committee, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:20, 8 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
