1961 Coup of Gitarama

Your feedback on User:Indy beetle/Gitarama coup would be appreciated. Still need to round out some details on the background role of the Mwami in Rwanda and Belgian administrative structure. -Indy beetle (talk) 23:17, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

@Indy beetle: I'll hopefully take a bit of a look at it soon, but most likely you have better sources than me at this point. I haven't actually seen this event called a coup before, which is interesting, but it does seem to exist in the literature. I guess the question to ask re that is whether the balance of sources call it a coup or call it something else. It's an odd one, because on one level the Rwandan hierarchy was usurped, but at another level it was the Belgians who were the legal masters of the territory at that point and it was done with their approval. Anyway, I'll look forward to having a read! Most likely a little more detail will be necessary at Rwandan Revolution on both this and your Bugesera massacres, as an aftermath of the revolution.  — Amakuru (talk) 19:32, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

Gerda's October corner

October songs

Thank you for constant help with RD, going as far as supplying missing sources! One pic of concert is there now, everybody applauding everybody, and rightly so. - Imagine, when we (choir) finished the Gloria fugue in the dress rehearsal, tenor soloist Fabian Kelly spontaneously turned to us and applauded, - deserves an article ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:31, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

Thank you Gerda Arendt. Happy to help with the sourcing, I just spotted that RD was almost ready and thought I could nudge it over the line. Re Gloria, which work are you doing? It sounds like it was a very rousing performance, even for the dress rehearsal, if the soloist was moved to applaud that way. Good luck for the real thing!  — Amakuru (talk) 16:38, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

Good guess but you could simply click on songs or visit my talk ;) - rehearsal tonight - with the other group, - yes rousing describes it well --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:22, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

I uploaded new pics (click on songs), including "our" concert (after exactly two years without) and a cow sunset --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:49, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

Today: #1700, and I uploaded more images, mostly blue and green, for hope. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:25, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

Today, mostly black&white, and standing upright as Psalm 15 says --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:08, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: very nice, thank you!  — Amakuru (talk) 21:59, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Natural language generation move request

Hi, thanks for your comment on the Natural-language generation move request. I just wanted to note that the article is not about generation of natural language in general (e.g. the thing we humans do when we speak/write), but rather about a highly specific subfield of computer science and AI research that is known solely by the unhyphenated term in the scientific literature. -Ljleppan (talk) 16:05, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

@Ljleppan: thanks for the note, and after looking again I have amended my !vote. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 16:21, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

POTD

Is tomorrow's (Monday's) POTD going to display correctly? The 11 POTD templates have a "This image was chosen at random from a selection of eleven. (View another image)" notice at the foot, but I don't see it on the protected version. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:01, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

@Cwmhiraeth: As far as I can tell, that message has not copied across to the protected template. Perhaps because someone's tweaked the code a bit regarding that. The question is, though, is that a problem? As far as I recall, we usually don't expect that message to actually display on the main page itself, and in the past it's been in a <noinclude> tag so that it doesn't appear when used in a transcluded template. See for example Wikipedia:Main Page history/2018 August 18, which has a randomly chosen banknote image. The one difference though, is that on that occasion there was a "See other denominations:" set of links at the bottom, which gave the reader the choice to look at others on their POTD templates. Maybe you wanted something like that?  — Amakuru (talk) 21:17, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Well, it doesn't bother me too much, but I have made the effort to create 11 templates for each of the Apollo missions, so it's a pity that viewers can't change from one to another. Never mind. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:15, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

@Cwmhiraeth: sorry, I've only just found the time to look at this again. I've added a set of links to the bottom of each of the 11 templates, pointing to the other 10, with a "See other medallions:" label. For example as at Template:POTD protected/2021-10-11/2. Let me know if this is good, or if you want anything else. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 09:12, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

Thank you, that's great. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:28, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
