Postnom RfC

[edit]

You closed a RfC in 2023, and I'm sorry to say that your close is being re-litigated in 2025. You may wish to comment in the ongoing discussion (search for "marginal"). Apologies if you're already aware. Best, Ed [talk] [OMT] 16:26, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the notice, Ed. Hope you've had a delightful summer so far ^u^ — ♠ Ixtal ( T / C ) ⁂ Non nobis solum ♠ 16:39, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Same to you! Ed [talk] [OMT] 16:56, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@The ed17 and S Marshall:, just thought I'd let you both know I've listed the discussion at WP:ANRFC to see if it gets closed out now that the discussion has mostly stabilized. — ♠ Ixtal ( T / C ) ⁂ Non nobis solum ♠ 12:37, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today a great singer, pictured on my talk twice. - Thanks for your music suggestions! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:06, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Totally didn't know her, Gerda Arendt, much appreciated! Checked out a video of her "Sheila's Blues". Very refreshing sound, nice way to end the week. — ♠ Ixtal ( T / C ) ⁂ Non nobis solum ♠ 22:44, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Same for me, didn't know until she died. Will listen! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:28, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Check out my talk for an Independence day, or: the pic of Oksana Lyniv was taken on 24 August. There's listening and reading in today's story, and I like both. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:32, 24 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
On top of my talk: birthday of a great violinist and Requiem for a great friend. We sang Paradisi gloria from the Stabat Mater in the end. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:58, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2025 September newsletter

[edit]

The fourth round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 29 August. The penultimate round saw three contestants score more than 800 points:

Everyone who competed in Round 4 will advance to Round 5 unless they have withdrawn. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far, while the full scores for Round 4 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 9 featured articles, 12 featured lists, 98 good articles, 9 good topic articles, more than 150 reviews, nearly 100 did you know articles, and 18 in the news articles.

In advance of the fifth and final round, the judges would like to thank every contestant for their hard work. As a reminder, any content promoted after 29 August but before the start of Round 5 can be claimed in Round 5. In addition, note that Round 5 will end on 31 October at 23:59 UTC. Awards at the end of Round 5 will be distributed based on who has the most tournament points over all five rounds, and special awards will be distributed based on high performance in particular areas of content creation (e.g., most featured articles in a single round).

Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges – Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), Epicgenius (talk · contribs), Frostly (talk · contribs), Guerillero (talk · contribs) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs) – are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

The Signpost: 9 September 2025

[edit]
UK Online Safety Act remains undefeated.
Plus Wiki rules, Wiki Spin, and physicists get street cred!
The price of Liberty is eternal vigilance.
And other new research findings.
Tis true: there's magic in the web of it.
With the usual mix of war, death, super heroes, a belt, and Wednesday.
It's an easy one.

John Rutter 80 today! I sang his major choral works with four choirs, and many of his uplifting anthems, 13 DYK? I watched him explain his Magnificat in person in 1998, and now see it on Youtube: he wore the same outfit. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:57, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
