I like today's Main page, with the TFA on the anniversary day (of both dedication and our concert), a DYK, and a great photographer who didn't make it soon enough, Jürgen Schadeberg, - more on my talk, mostly about the tribute to Brian who shared his sources. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:01, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

In contrast: matching colours music to the Dahlias, "brute loud and secretly quiet". There's a discussion on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Composers about navboxes that may interest you. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:55, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

AN or ANI
Hello Silk Tork,

I've got a concern about a case concerning me. Could you take a look at it ? Administrator GiantSnowman had asked an user to (re)post their case about my edits on ANI main page here but I have just realized today that the user went against GiantSnowman's recommendation, and reposted their case at another board, which is called AN. It appears that AN is a far more confidential noticeboard than ANI; and so it it is less visited by the community, how convenient. Meanwhile, two users already said that this case should have been registred at WP:DRN. This worries me because AN is far away from most of the users who actually take time to read all the replies in full, especially the defenser's, contrary to administrator GiantSnowman who was caught asking a ban without waiting for my defense, and then when I posted it, told me (in what I consider a haughty and uncivil way), "Too long I didn't read" about my reply. This worries me because I read user Dimadick saying in their first sentence, I am not an administrator before giving their opinion about my edits. Carliertwo (talk) 15:37, 13 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi Carliertwo. My suggestion is that you work with User:JG66 to find wording and citation that you can both accept. I think the result would be beneficial to Wikipedia and to yourselves. Taking a minor editorial dispute to AN or ANI is too strong. Neither of you need to be sanctioned for editing an article in good faith. And appearing there would be stressful for both of you. If you both find it absolutely impossible to talk to each other over this matter without getting too angry then I am prepared to mediate. But, please, give it a go yourselves first.

 * Thanks. The situation has changed, user PaleCloudedWhite is back and they suggest a topic ban, it is not said as such but their call is obvious. Carliertwo (talk) 02:59, 15 September 2020 (UTC)


 * My suggestion is exactly the same - approach User:JG66 to find wording and citation that you can both accept. If you both attempt that and it breaks down, I will come and mediate. But if you both don't attempt it, then mediation is not going to work. You have to both show that you are willing to make the attempt to work together. SilkTork (talk) 08:07, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
