If I leave a message on your talk page, I'll keep your talk page on my watchlist until you reply (for a few days, at least), so you can reply here or on your talk page as you prefer. If you use a {{talkback}} template here, please sign it so the archive bot will archive it.

For other discussions, there's no need to ping me if I've edited the page or section you have posted to; I'll be watching those pages for a week or so.

Thank you today for the article, "about one of the many air way pulp magazines that flourished from the late 1920s through World War II. It had a brief incarnation as a science fiction title, under the title Dusty Ayres and His Battle Birds."! - One composer is on the Main page today, another is not (born OTD 1824), and my story pictures the second and also a third - perhaps just listen to the first's music, in bright C major, that I heard by the Kyiv Symphony Orchestra in April 2022 (see music). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:07, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Recommended reading today: Frye Fire, by sadly missed Vami_IV. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:24, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Today is Schoenberg's 150th birthday! On display, portrayed by Egon Schiele, with music from Moses und Aron, and with two DYK hooks, one from 2010 and another from 2014; the latter, about his 40th birthday, appeared on his 140th birthday, which made me happy then and now again. - See places for a stunning sunrise, on the day Bruckner's 200th birthday was celebrated (just a few days late). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:13, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Frederick Blakeslee

Hi Mike. At Frederick Blakeslee which you created there's a word missing here: "Blakeslee's goal was to become an aviation [], but he had to take introductory classes in drawing human figures." Maybe you can supply from the source. Thanks, Spicemix (talk) 09:07, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for spotting that. I couldn't find the original source I used so I added another and cited that for the clarification. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 09:53, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers! Spicemix (talk) 20:56, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
