Is There a God?, book by Swinburne

Dear Ser Amantio di Nicolao,

Thank you for this edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Is_There_a_God%3F&diff=1064813992&oldid=1064149096 which finally prompted me to write a missing Reception section for this article.

• You think the article now can do without the All plot template?

(I do not know how to give an impartial rendering of Swinburne's argument without a plotlike structure and me intruding.) Thank you, Hansmuller (talk) 20:49, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Use MDY edits

Hello, in your current AWB use mdy run you have added Use mdy dates to all the US military bases in your dataset. These articles do not use MDY, as per MOS:MILFORMAT, like the US military, the articles use DMY. Adding Use mdy dates to articles that already contain Use dmy dates causes template conflicts. Can you run through your datset and fix the erroneous ones please. Thanks - X201 (talk) 07:20, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

@X201: I can, yes. It'll have to be later tonight at the earliest, but I can redo the dataset later. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 12:56, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Women in Red 8th Anniversary

	Women in Red 8th Anniversary
	In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap!

Curious to understand the rationale

Hi! You removed two 19th-century women physicians from the category American Women Physicians, and I'm curious about why. Is there a specific logic for this in the system that I should learn? I'm pretty new to this. Fortunaa (talk) 17:54, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

@Fortunaa: They were in the category Category:19th-century American women physicians, so they don't need to be in the parent. There's more information at Wikipedia:Categorization. Don't worry about it too much - it's a complicated and arcane system, and to be honest I know most of what I do due to long years of observation and trial and error. :-) --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 20:33, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Why not have the use MDY dates template task be a bot?

I see a number of your edits on my watchlist. The task of adding a use MDY dates template is one that could readily be accomplished by a bot. I took a look at your recent contributions and today at 16:56 you made about 50 edits, averaging just under one per second. You're obviously capable of making edits that would use your skills, background and talents, so why just sit there and click the Save button in AWB 50 times per hour? Is this the most productive use of your abilities as a Wikipedia editor? Alansohn (talk) 22:04, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

@Alansohn: There is no bot that will do the trick, and I don't know the first thing about coding one. I will cop to going a bit faster than I ought to, sometimes, but I think this is a perfectly fine use of my talents. Besides, it's the sort of thing AWB is designed to do, and I know AWB has been used for similar tasks before. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 02:18, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

July music

July songs

my story today

While today's DYK highlights Santiago on his day, I did my modest share with my story today, describing what I just experienced, pictured. - I began the article about the woman in green. - What I noticed when adding categories to the images: the categories for Eberbach Abbey sit at Monastery Eberbach, an awkward translation! "Kloster Eberbach" works as a redirect. "Eberbach Abbey" should do the same (minimum), but better "Monastery Eberbach" should disappear completely (max, - a lot of work, I can see that). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:51, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: I've spent most of July going down to the Wintergreen Summer Music Festival and Academy near Charlottesville, Virginia - I'm very impressed with their programming this year (it's my first time). The first concert was Mozart (overture to Cosi fan tutte), the Violin Concerto of Samuel Barber, and the first symphony of Emilie Mayer; the second opened with a Haydn overture (Il mondo della luna), and paired a little Chabrier with two contemporary trumpet concertos (Reena Esmail and Clarice Assad), and the Beethoven Fourth in the second half (excellent - very sprightly and energetic). I took a week off this past weekend for Faust at Wolf Trap; this coming weekend is back to Wintergreen, for a little Lili Boulanger, the world premiere of an electric guitar concerto by Daron Hagen, and the New World Symphony. And then I get a break in August. :-) --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 16:52, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for sharing, amazing! - Today Jahrhundertring, and I just listened to Götterdämmerung from the Bayreuth Festival (pictured), - the image (of a woman who can't believe what she has to see) features also on the article talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:00, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

Film decade categories

Hi, if you're enjoying the summer I don't blame you! But is there any chance you can finish off the film categories by the end of the year?? I use the categories you've created to date for browsing very regularly! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:30, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: I can try, if you give me a list of the ones that are still needed. I've got a lot on my plate at the moment, mostly off-wiki. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 05:22, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Nothing too serious I hope! Bolivian, Bosnian, Brazilian, Bulgarian, Cambodian, Chilean, Chinese, Croatian, Dutch, Egyptian, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Indonesian, Lebanese, Malaysian, Nigerian, Norwegian, Paraguayan, Phillipine, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Serbian, Russian/Soviet, Singaporean, Slovenian, Slovakian, South African, Swiss, Taiwanese, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese should be most of the remaining bigger ones, though there's a lot more which don't have many films. The good thing is that you've done the bulky ones already! I think it might be a good idea to create an Category:2000s African films for instance to include the others not in South African, Egyptian and Nigerian. I started on the Greek ones a few months back but didn't get very far as it's something which ought to be done quickly by AWB!♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:03, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

August music

August songs

my story today

Today's music is played by my brother's orchestra, conducted by two very young men on their way up (as you know), - the picture was taken shortly after the invasion of Ukraine began, - more detail on my talk. Images reached the day of the Tenebrae concert mentioned in July. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:42, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Ah, yes - I heard Nelsons conduct the BSO when I was up in Boston for WikiConference North America in 2019. Betsy Jolas, Ravel, and Shostakovich - I wasn't enthused about the program, but I wouldn't dream of passing up a chance to hear the BSO in Symphony Hall.

The Saturday concert was nice - perhaps the Dvorak was a tad bland, but the Boulanger was wonderful. And I can't praise the Hagen concerto enough - it's called Film Noir, and if you know any electric guitarists looking for a showpiece I recommend it highly. Loads of fun, with some beautiful orchestral effects in it. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 05:26, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Sounds great! - My story today - a first - isn't about an article by me, but one I reviewed for DYK, see here. I like all: topic, "hook", connected article (a GA on its way towards FA), image and the music "in the background". I just returned from a weekend of weddings, so also like the spirit ;) - Pics to come, I promise one cake, the other was too large! Good music, and better even in the concert ending the second day, - Goldberg Variations theme for an encore, after Dohnányi Serenade. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:37, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Again not by me: today's story - with the triumph of music over military - is uplifting! - No cake yet, but a butterfly and open-air opera. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:19, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

Now: picture of heart-shaped cake(s) uploaded! - Today's story is about a tenor, - why his roles are not linked on the Main page remains a mystery to me. Today is also the birthday of the Bayreuth Festival. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:56, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Sorry for the silence, but there's really not much of anything to report around here right now. I'm beginning to look at concert schedules for September, but I've decided to take a quiet month for August - largely because I don't think there's that much to go hear. :-) --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 05:23, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

DYK that an article started by you is on the Main page? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:11, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for it, also for having made it so short that expanding 5* was a piece of cake. - One more day uploaded, with a wedding cake - I couldn't resist. Today's story is about the Inkpot Madonna who returned to "her place" 9 years ago, and also has aspects of early learning, remember? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:42, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: I rarely have the patience to write anything longer any more. And I remember very little any more, I'm afraid. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 15:55, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

More than three lines is a major effort really?? Suggest getting yourself physically fit, and cut out as many processed foods and sugar from your diet as possible (tougher I know in the US!), it works wonders for the brain and your energy levels! We can no longer get away with the things we did in our 20s. I have to do a minimum 10,000 steps a day and avoid sitting down for more than an hour now! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:57, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Unfortunately, I work an office job - I don't have the luxury of not sitting down for much of the day. Besides, there have been a lot of other things going on this year that have contributed to putting me in a real funk. I did have some hopes, earlier this year, of beginning to contribute articles again, but that got knocked into a cocked hat, and I've spent the past month digging out of my funk. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 17:46, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

That's unfortunate, but you and many millions of people of course. It's really one of the worst things you can do for concentration! I even have my piano keyboard at standing up level so I can practice for longer hours! I find eating one meal a day at 5pm I have much more energy than if I eat breakfast and lunch and I don't get a crash in the afternoon. I just have a green veg and fruit smoothie for breakfast! Also cold baths and showers do amazing things for my energy, the brain signals your the heart to pump more blood to the organs to protect them like your kidneys, which gives you an energy rush! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:20, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

See 3:30 ;-)♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:57, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Wim Hof seems like a complete nutter, but he's definitely got it figured out on how to tap into the raw energy of the body. I think it's interesting that cold exposure ramps up mitochondria in cells, literally the energy factories in your body! Most people would look at cold showers and one meal a day and think "No way, not doing it!!" . But the benefits far outweigh any perceived suffering! I think I'll work on Vernazza soon, lovely fishing village in northern Italy. Pat Metheny did a gig there a few years back. So many Italian municipalities needing expansion still... ♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:45, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Today is the anniversary of the premiere of Götterdämmerung. Berit Lindholm sang its final scene in concert at the Royal Festival Hall in London, only four years after her stage debut in a Mozart opera in Stockholm. - Yes, the one you created. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:40, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Today I heard a delightful concert, "Himmlische Freuden", remembered having heard Vilde Frang (Bruch concerto, in Zürich, with my brother's orchestra) , and succeeded in preparing Renata Scotto's article enough for the Main page (which took two days). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:57, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: I was beginning to wonder. Nearly considered nominating the article myself, but I really don't want to wade into ITN stuff. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 18:25, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Thank you! - Today is Debussy's birthday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:31, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: I see, incidentally, that Gloria Coates died recently. Can't say as I'm overly familiar with her music, though I do have a little on disc - what little I've heard over the years hasn't really appealed to me that much, I'm afraid. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 16:49, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

If you look at the article history, you see that I raised her from three tags and no biography to something halfway decent. I confess that I had never heard of her before, and still heard no music (but will). Help wanted if you can find more, such as a review or two. Hardest part was to format that enormously long works list ;) - I'll nominate her for RD after the other gets kicked out - we have seven right now because all names are quite short. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:53, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

The article you started is GA now! - Today is Gwendolyn Killebrew's birthday, - pictured: a spider and sweet food --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:58, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

This too shall pass. - Ten years ago on 28 August, I heard a symphony, with a heavy heart because of the pending decision in WP:ARBINFOBOX, and not worried about my future here but Andy's. - It passed, and I could write the DYK about calling to dance, not battle, and Andy could write the DYK mentioning about peace and reconciliation, - look. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:41, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Short description

Hi. I know that it’s been almost a year when you added the short description template on the Billboard lists, so you’re probably not even doing this anymore. But if you’re still adding the template on random pages, can you stop separating the template and the first paragraph? That’s has been causing a big white gap on these pages. Just wanted to let you know. Eyeluvbraixen (talk) 23:31, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Seriously, I just went through the Billboard 200 lists, it was painful. Eyeluvbraixen (talk) 03:55, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

@Eyeluvbraixen: I haven't done these in some time. But if I do return to them I will try to keep this in mind. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 03:56, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

Overcategorization

Isn’t this hypercategorization? I don’t think WP:OVERCAT allows that. I had removed your overcategorization and you thoughtlessly added it again. Please refrain from doing so without stopping to realize what you’re actually doing. Since you used Cat-a-lot, probably other pages are now overcategorized as well. RodRabelo7 (talk) 18:10, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

@RodRabelo7: See the hatnote at the top of Category:21st-century Brazilian women politicians. Also see Wikipedia:NONDIFFUSING for my rationale. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 18:12, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

American male rappers

I saw you added "American male rappers" to all categories that have "African-American male rappers", don't you think that's a little redundant? As everybody who's listed as an "African-American male rapper" being an American male rapper is self-explanatory? 4TheLuvOfFax (talk) 19:42, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Arabic International Phonetic Alphabet

The article Arabic International Phonetic Alphabet has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article subject is non-notable. I cannot find any references to AIPA other than from the creator and his institution. I am also unaware of any usages of this transcription system.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
