January music
Thank you for improving articles in January! I remember Ewa Podleś on the Main page, and have - believe it or not - two musical DYK. Shalom chaverim. On vacation, with something for your sweet tooth --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:44, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Today: the performance of Anna Nekhames --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:33, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Today a friend's birthday, with related music and a few new vacation pics --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:04, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Wilhelm Georg Joachim Kuhn (1913–1994)
I noticed we seem to be missing an article on Major (who is also missing from List of members of the 20 July plot). I thought you might be interested and likely had plenty of references upon such a topic already at your disposal. –Uzume (talk) 18:25, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

February thanks
Thank you for improving quality articles in February. - The image, taken on a cemetery last year after the funeral of a distant but dear family member, commemorates today, with thanks for their achievements, four subjects mentioned on the Main page and Vami_IV, a friend here. Listen to music by Tchaikovsky (an article where one of the four is pictured), sung by today's subject (whose performance on stage I enjoyed two days ago). -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:43, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

more music and flowers on Rossini's rare birthday --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:41, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Jonathan Glazer article
Hi, I have reverted your edit of today at this article, on the basis of WP:BRD. I see that you edited out quite a large amount of text on the basis of WP:Recentism at 8.47 today and referred to the Talk page discussion, then actually contributed to the discussion at 8.50, threee minutes after your edit. It is better to do it the other way around or you are not really taking part in a discussion at all!:-) It is perfectly reasonable to make the WP:Recentism argument; others might oppose it of course. We should reach a consensus in a couple more days; the discussion's been very useful and constructive, including your contribution. In the meantime, please don't re-revert. All the best, Emmentalist (talk) 16:35, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

March and April thanks
Thank you for improving article quality in March! - I uploaded Madeira vacation pics (from back home, at least the first day) and remember Aribert Reimann. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:00, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

... and in April! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:37, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

U&A Reversion
Hi. I saw that you were involved with the reversion of my post on the “Universities and Antisemitism” page, specifically about MIT. You cited the reasons as problematic, no original research, use of primary sources, and uncited segments. I was wondering if you would be able to specify which aspects of my blurb resulted in the reversion—from my understanding, each source I used was a secondary source and was properly cited. Additionally, I would appreciate clarification on what was “problematic” about my edit, since the page was focused on campus antisemitism, and I reported real incidents that occurred at MIT. Do you have any suggestions I could follow that could improve my work to fit Wikipedia’s standards in the future? Thanks so much! Topiguana (talk) 16:42, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi there were several issues, such as two paragraphs lacked citations at the end of them; use of primary sources (faculty newsletter); etc. In general, the contents looked like it was written by someone not well familiar with Wikipedia's best practices. The fundamental issue, though, is that your account is not extended-confirmed (see WP:XCON) and you, unfortunately, cannot contribute to the topic area, except for making edit requests on the talk pages. I'll leave you a note explaining that. --K.e.coffman (talk) 19:42, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
 * These resources are super helpful, thank you so much for a detailed and guiding response! Topiguana (talk) 14:16, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Would you be able to clarify the end-of-paragraph citations point? I have been looking through the resources you provided me with and was not able to find anything on this. Just want to make sure I do not make this mistake again in the future! Topiguana (talk) 14:40, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi I just meant to say that the contents lacked sources to back it up. In contentious areas, such as this, uncited material is often quickly removed. --K.e.coffman (talk) 12:57, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

May thanks
Thank you for improving articles in May! - Today's story mentions a concert I loved to hear (DYK) and a piece I loved to sing in choir, 150 years old (OTD). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:01, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Throwflame_(company)
Hi K.e.coffman! You reviewed the page for the company Throwflame a few months back. As I understood, the reason it does not meet notability is because of the lack of coverage. There is a lot of coverage in many different reliable sources, but most of it is just covering a few of the company's products, all though there is some discussion of legislative/political responses to the products.

A bit more coverage has come up over the last few months, and I wanted to ask your opinion - do you think this new coverage changes the overall notability profile enough to make it worth submitting for review again?

Here are a few of the articles I am talking about:

La Nacion

El Economista

| The Star

| Business Insider

|El Universal

USA Today

| Telegraph

The Desert Sun

If this doesn't change anything, I would appreciate a brief explanation of why, as it would help me to better understand the editorial process and avoid wasting anyone's time in the future! Thanks. Chagropango (talk) 11:36, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi thank you for your message. You can ask for a second opinion at WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk. You can provide your sources there and get an unbiased review. I generally do not re-review articles. --K.e.coffman (talk) 12:56, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

June thanks
Thank you for improving article quality in June! - Today we have a centenarian story (documentation about it by Percy Adlon) and an article that had two sentences yesterday and was up for deletion, and needs a few more citations. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:03, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
