Patrick Gouge[edit]

Hello. Could you please undelete my Patrick Gouge article as offered the other day? Shrug02 (talk) 12:08, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Shrug02: Sure, done! DanCherek (talk) 12:26, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Shrug02 (talk) 17:54, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

July music[edit]

The story is today about the first published composition by Arnold Schönberg which I was blessed to hear. Listen, and perhaps read what Alma Mahler (to-be-Mahler at the time, to be precise, who was present at the first performance) said, and yes that was too much for the Main page ;) -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:14, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Today's story is about a Bach cantata premiered 300 years ago OTD. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:23, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

3 July is the birthday of Leoš Janáček, and I'm happy I had a meaningful DYK in 2021. It's also the birthday of Franz Kafka, and I uploaded pics from his family's album seen in Berlin. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:18, 3 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 and Lando Bartolini went to the Main page. I made my story about his almost unbelievable career, from Luigi in Il tabarro in Philadelphia in 1968 (with a nod to Liberty) up to Calaf in Turandot in Beijing in 1999 ;) - 4 July is also the birthday of Brian Boulton who was a pioneer of a concise infobox in 2013. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:08, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats on the GA!! DanCherek (talk) 02:54, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! On a friend's birthday - she is pictured on my talk - I have another RD death article that needs reviewing, Martti Wallén. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:53, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pictured on the Main page: Brian's Mozart family grand tour, my story today, and Mozart related to all three items of music on my talk: our 2023 concert, an opera in a theatre where a Mozart premiere took place, and those remembered, Martti Wallén, a bass, and Liana Isakadze, a violinist from Georgia, (whose article would be better with more details about her music-making). - In Bach's chorale cantata, BWV 107 will be next, perhaps good for a lilypond of the tune or the final chorale? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:01, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you point me at the specific part that should be transcribed, I can give it a shot. (I pulled it up on IMSLP but don't know where to look.) DanCherek (talk) 04:37, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to link to Dahn, but when I last posted the website was under maintenance. here - melody looks slightly embellished, for the triple metre's sake. - Today's story is about an outstanding violinist from Georgia, which is a sad story in the end. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:49, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I remember today it today, in Bach's 1724 cantata for this Sunday which is unusual in many respects. Another woman needs attention for RD, Marina Kondratyeva. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:30, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Toby Britton[edit]

Hello again. Sorry to trouble you once more. Hopefully this will be the last time (at least for a while) but could you reinstate my article Toby Britton please? It's the last of the ones I rashly got deleted via author delete thingy that hasn't either been reinstated or redirected. Shrug02 (talk) 17:48, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Shrug02: no problem,

Deleted my page[edit]

Draft OLYA K wa real , you have deleted it. Can you please fix that? Olyasongs (talk) 16:41, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The text on the page page was a copy of http://www.olyafans.com/ which is not allowed for copyright reasons. DanCherek (talk) 21:34, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Trulyy (23:19, 6 July 2024)[edit]

How can I protect a page? Someone keeps vandalizing a page and I keep reverting their edits but they won't stop. --Trulyy (talk) 23:19, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Trulyy: You can request page protection at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. DanCherek (talk) 23:33, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DanCherek Thank you, and at what point can I myself protect a page? Is it only for administrators? Trulyy (talk) 23:44, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, only administrators have the ability to protect pages (and delete pages and block accounts). DanCherek (talk) 23:47, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's a possible vandalism in the Great American Novel Page[edit]

Someone deleted Gone With the Wind from there. Dsdias04 (talk) 14:51, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Probably not vandalism, just someone who removed it based on their own opinion (not ideal either). That said, you probably want to look for stronger sourcing than a single opinion piece in the Washington Examiner for inclusion. DanCherek (talk) 18:30, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

thank you for format help![edit]

Thank you so much for help with the format for the proverbs quoted in Ndau and English in the Ndau dialect article. I had done the same for a Mongo language article this weekend, so I just went and changed those proverbs to follow the same style. I plan to add proverbs in this way for all the African language articles for which there are good bilingual proverb collections in the public domain or in books/articles available at Internet Archive, so your edits will help me with all those proverbs yet to come too. Much appreciated! Laurakgibbs (talk) 23:13, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Laurakgibbs: No problem, good luck with the edits! DanCherek (talk) 23:24, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you![edit]

	The Resilient Barnstar
	For taking part in the dirtiest work I have ever given the community. Scorpions1325 (talk) 15:15, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Scorpions1325: Thanks! The revision deletion is the easy part, you're doing the hard work! DanCherek (talk) 15:38, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
