... and perhaps the most important quote of them all: "This is a community, not a crazy den of pigs." Indeed. It was said a fair while back but is still referred to from time to time.
Today I have two "musicians" on the Main page, one is also the topic of my story, watch and listen, - I like today's especially because you see him at work, hear him talk about his work and the result of his work - rare! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:02, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Today's story is about education, 10 years OTD after lecturing our founder). Music for today's feast is Monteverdi's, the best concert we ever did (so pictured again on my talk), but it wasn't recorded, substituted with a "Pacific" one that comes with subtitles line by line in Latin and English: I learned something! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:32, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Seeing your query about ABCT and their web pages, I have a Linux shell script that collects all their data and stores it in csv-like format. If you let me have an address for e-mail, I'll be glad to share it. Be warned however that it is horribly slow. If you asks very nicely, I could even - for a short while - display my own mail address here. But perhaps there is no need.

I am afraid it didn't. But I cannot even find any email address on my own user page... perhaps due to my own stupidity. Quite likely that the address you found and used is an old one. Anyway, kindly send your message again, to [edited] 123@xyz Jan olieslagers (talk) 20:42, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also ... nosey Q time ... which instrument(s) are you an amateur on, and when you say Fado are you including Mariza???? Cheers DBaK (talk) 20:27, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
instruments are mainly the chromatic accordion, and a little bit of electric bass; plus recorder flutes, and a few more. As for the fado in general and Mariza in particular, I don't think this is the right place to discuss them :) Would go better over a glass of tinto.

The number has been kept deliberately low to give us a fighting chance of improving them to at least GA status, also so we can concentrate our efforts on these first.
Wiki Loves Monuments
We failed on keeping York as a good article as it was down graded as the previous newsletter was being published. This month is the annual Wiki Loves Monuments, may be we can do better this month and get some relevant photographs in the Yorkshire area that are listed buildings without photographs.
WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The September 2024 articles selected below are an editor choice as there were no nominations on the project talk page.
The project is subscribed to a clean-up listing which lists articles tagged with various clean-up tags that need attention. The listing is refreshed by a bot on a regular basis.
Monitoring is essential Use the watchlist to keep an eye on changes to the project's articles so that vandalism and spamming can be removed as quickly as possible.
Moves Please be careful when performing articles moves and ensure that you also move all the talk sub-pages and update any image fair use rational. Otherwise the archives, to-do lists, assessment comments and GA reviews get lost and the image may be deleted as it has an incorrect FUR. You will also have to check that the Commons link is set correctly.
