Thank you for improving article quality in April! - My story is about music that Bach and Picander gave the world 300 years (and 19 days) ago, - listen (on the conductor's birthday) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:19, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I finally managed to upload the pics I meant for Easter, see places. - Also finally, I managed a FAC, Easter Oratorio. I wanted that on the main page for Easter Sunday, but no, twice. You are invited to join a discussion about what "On this day" means, day or date. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:16, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Netherzone, I’ve been working on a draft article for Sachiko Hayashi and left a note on the draft’s talk page a little while ago. Just wanted to follow up here to make sure the ping went through. If you have a moment, I’d really appreciate it if you could take a quick look and let me know if there’s anything I might have missed or misunderstood. Thanks so much again for your time and support.

I've been meaning to leave you a message to let you know that you single-handedly restored my faith in the AfD process. I really thought this article about a genuinely notable Canadian artist was going to be deleted, when people fought so hard over articles like ElderTreks... Thank you!

I noticed your recent edit to the image caption on the Meteor Crater article, where you added the word "cropped" to describe the image. Thank you for contributing your time and effort to improving the article.
I am a little puzzled by this change. While it's true that the image is cropped, it seems unusual to highlight this detail directly in the caption. From what I’ve observed across Wikipedia, captions usually focus on the content or context of the image—rather than on the editing process itself, unless the crop significantly alters interpretation or is disputed. I cropped the image to remove the surrounding desert land and bring forth the crater, none of which altered the context nor topic of he image. Moreover, I crop many--perhaps most--of the photographs I post on Wikimedia Commons, including one which is recognized as a featured image.
It seems if every cropped image were labeled as such, we'd be rewriting captions across a great deal of Wikimedia Commons. Please share your reasoning. I'm curious if there's a particular guideline or precedent you had in mind. I want to understand, and if it's something I’ve overlooked, I’d be grateful to hear from you. Most kind regards.Hu Nhu (talk) 15:20, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Netherzone:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in June! The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 1 month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 June 2025 through 30 June 2025.
You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive. There is a backlog of over 3200 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:25, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Netherzone, Could you take a look at the stub for The American Supermarket? I think it is fine for a stub, but I'd like to know what you think. At your convenience, of course. I am finding it hard to find documentation that this was pivotal show or where exactly it falls in the Pop art timeline. I see that it is an early show and a very clever idea. I want to suggest this a a target for redirect for the Ben Birillo article. He seems to be famous for curating this show, butthat is it. The show is far more interesting.
Meanwhile I am trying to figure out if the artist was Diane Inman[1] or Mary Inman.[2] I have used diane in the article. I am also looking for review in the New York Times. I got sort of turned around while composing this so lost the scant reference to the fact that the show was reviewed in both NYT and Life (not the article cited in the Ben Birillo article) and that it traveled to Europe. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 00:43, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
