February songs
My story on 24 February is about Artemy Vedel (TFA by Amitchell235), and I made a suggestion for more peace, - what do you think? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:07, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

The bot you use archived this )and more) just after I posted to the thread, - intentionally so? Just curious. Take care. Will expand my sabbatical Psalm (79) now. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:45, 25 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Hey, @Gerda Arendt! No idea why it got archived, no – unfortunately, I haven't educated myself on whatever goes on with the infobox disputes, and honestly, I think I'm just about wiped out as-is. Lovely pictures as always :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 06:28, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Everybody not knowing the infobox disputes is fortunate!!! - Off to a funeral, long trip, see you on Tuesday, read my stories (link below the pic). Today's was such a boring DYK that I didn't put it on my user page ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:33, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
 * today: two women whose birthday we celebrate today, 99 and 90! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:20, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Arun gas field
theleekycauldron, since this nomination dates back to November, I was hoping you could return to it, since your issues with the nomination are what have stalled it and you haven't replied to the points made by the nominator. Please let me know if you'd like me instead to call for a new reviewer. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:59, 28 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Strongly considering posting to WT:DYK, as I'm a little vexed – but I just responded, we'll see if the nominator has some insight I'm missing. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 10:00, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Unlimitedlead with 1205 points, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with two featured articles on historical figures and several featured article candidate reviews.
 * Epicgenius was in second place with 789 points; a seasoned WikiCup competitor he specialises in buildings and locations in New York.

It was a high-scoring start to the competition.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. The first round finished on February 26. Remember that any content promoted after that date but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. 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 WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Monthly stat page
Hi, I wanted to ask you if the bot needs a jumpstart on the page Did you know/Statistics/Monthly DYK pageview leaders. Does not update so far. Thanks. Bruxton (talk) 00:35, 4 March 2023 (UTC)


 * @Bruxton: It takes wikimedia a while to do its daily pageview dumps for the bot to access, so the bot runs once daily at 03:27 UTC. Thanks :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 00:36, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Ah You always know where the bones are buried. Thanks. Bruxton (talk) 00:39, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

March stories
today: where I learned opera, + 3 women, in one hook ;) -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:37, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

today a woman, a 2016 DYK remembered of a Czech soprano siging German music in Japan (our conductor was courageous and called her to step in for a concert on short notice, and she was interested! - only had no time that day in 2013. We got Gabriela Eibenová who was also great. Girls and women sang how Bach arranged Pergolesi's Stabat Mater to a new text paraphrasing Psalm 51, last Sunday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:04, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * What a surprise,, thanks so much! :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 05:32, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I support the barnstar! - someone will have to restore the tick for December nom Alchymic Quartet ;) - today we remember the 150th birthday of Max Reger, who saw the horrors of a world war right when it began in 1914, while others were still in high patriotic moods --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:12, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

pshaw
Literally just noticed that PSHAW doesn't show up when you're in the list of hooks awaiiting approval. You are the smartypants! Valereee (talk) 20:25, 20 March 2023 (UTC)


 * to be fair to me, it also doesn't show up at WP:DYKNA :) gotta be on a nompage for that to work.
 * Come to think of it, that's not the worst idea? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 20:28, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Ugh, that's what I meant, I think. I'd been worrying I might be promoting something that had stalled out before being approved. Valereee (talk) 20:31, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
