January music

Thank you for improving article quality in January! - 20 January is the 100th birthday of David Tudor (see my story) and the 300th birthday of Bach's cantata Meine Seufzer, meine Tränen, BWV 13, if we go by date instead of occasion as he would have thought, so see my story for last Sunday, and celebrate ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:59, 20 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Question from NissanFanatic245 (04:23, 29 January 2026)

Hey there, I just remembered that I have 2 alternative accounts that I made back in June of 2024. I forgot the passwords to both of them and I no longer used those accounts. I now exclusively use this main account, NissanFanatic234. What should I do so I do not get mistaken for sockpuppetry? --NissanFanatic245 (talk) 04:23, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

A question about what pronouns you use

Hi LunaEclipse, I was wondering what pronouns you use? Your signature says "she/they/all", so it's unclear if you use she/they or all pronouns. However, your user page says that you use she/they pronouns. Which pronouns should I use to refer to you? thetechie@enwiki:~$ she/they | talk 22:51, 1 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

(Also, slightly offtopic, but could you reconsider the long edit notice and jumping logo on your talk page? It's visually distracting.) thetechie@enwiki:~$ she/they | talk 22:52, 1 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Jeez. I don't really edit that much anymore as I don't currently don't have the motivation. A lot of my activity is more behind the scenes at places like WP:VA. I apologize for the bizarre mess that has led to you contacting me. I use she/they/it pronouns but do not mind neos. I also took your advice and collapsed the bouncy logo.

Thx for asking tho :) 🌙Eclipse (she/they/it • talk • edits) 23:06, 1 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

No worries! I just wanted to make sure I was referring to you correctly :) thetechie@enwiki:~$ she/they | talk 23:08, 1 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Women in Green reviewing drive

Hello LunaEclipse:

This month, February 2026, WikiProject Women in Green is participating in the February 2026 GAN Backlog Drive, in which we're aiming to review as many outstanding Good Article (GA) nominations about women and women's works as possible. If you want to help out, you can check out the project talk page for a list of nominations in need of review (including some WiG originals). If you haven't reviewed a GA nomination before, be sure to check out the reviewing instructions and guidelines and feel free to ask for a mentor to check your work.

We are also working together with a wikithon hosted on 5 February by Wikimedia UK, which will focus on writing and improving articles about women involved in sustainable development. If you want to join the event, feel free to sign up at the eventbrite page; or if you would be interested in providing a 20-minute assessment and/or a full GA review of the submitted articles in the weeks following, put your name down on the project talk page for updates as the event progresses.

We hope to see you there!

Question from QuackAttack013 (23:16, 4 February 2026)

Am I allowed to fix the members page on PROJECT Trio? I recently met them irl, and the celloist isn't with them, and the page is throwing me off. I know how to edit & just touch it up, but I wasn't sure if I was allowed to make edits --QuackAttack013 (talk) 23:16, 4 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

You can do so if you cite a source proving they are in the band. 🌙Eclipse (she/they/it • talk • edits) 23:53, 4 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

So I know Eric left/was kicked out, not sure which, I didn't ask Greg, but Greg, Peter and their sax player Daniel came down to Florida, and obviously I didn't see a cello player like I expected, and Daniel is apart of Project Trio, how do I cite/prove that Eric is truly a former member, and Daniel is a permanent/current member? Would I email Pattillo? QuackAttack013 (talk) 00:19, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Finderofsecrets (01:34, 5 February 2026)

Hello! how do i add a title for my article? --Finderofsecrets (talk) 01:34, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Finderofsecrets, the article wizard should be of great help to you. You can add the name of the article when asked. No other steps required. — 🌙Eclipse (she/they/it • talk • edits) 12:56, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Murphy the bald eagle.png

A tag has been placed on File:Murphy the bald eagle.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file from a commercial source (e.g. Associated Press, Getty Images), where the file itself is not the subject of sourced commentary. If you can explain why the file can be used under the non-free content guidelines, please add the appropriate non-free use tag and rationale.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. $999$ REAL 💬 ⬆ 00:27, 13 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Space kidi (01:25, 17 February 2026)

How do l put a picture --Space kidi (talk) 01:25, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not LunaEclipse, but you mean uploading an freely licensed image while editing in Wikipedia or just uploading without editing an article (through a custom page), these links should help you. If you mean only inserting an image while editing, then Help:Introduction to images with VisualEditor/3 should be useful. (:]) Wikistander (talk | contribs) 02:13, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
