300 years ago, a Bach cantata was born: happy new year! Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:48, 1 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerda Arendt: Thanks very much - happy new year to you, too! --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:46, 1 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
thank you - inviting you to check out "my" story (fun listen today, full of surprises), music (and memory), and places (pictured by me: the latest uploads) any day! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:09, 10 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
20 January is the 100th birthday of David Tudor (see my story) and the 300th birthday of Bach's cantata Meine Seufzer, meine Tränen, BWV 13, if we go by date instead of occasion as he would have thought, so see my story for last Sunday, and celebrate ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:57, 20 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Leonard Arthur Bethell

Out of interest, why did you remove Bethell from 'Category:British people in colonial India'. He clearly was a British person, and he clearly was in Colonial India ? Charles.bowyer (talk) 22:15, 2 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Charles.bowyer: The article is in Category:British Indian Army officers, which is a subcategory of Category:British people in colonial India - there's no need for it to be in the parent. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 23:11, 2 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Could you please review my article Northern Thunderbird Air Flight 204? Thanks! Megabyte21 (talk) 18:48, 25 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add duplicate categories

When you're copying over from books in American books to English-language books, you did not check if an article was in any of its subcategories. Now Category:English-language books is full of articles that are in both the vaguer parent category that you added and the subcat that was already there, e.g. The 10 Big Lies About America, Aliens Adored (fixed that one), every one I have clicked there is due to a recent edit from you. Please do not do this again. PARAKANYAA (talk) 22:02, 25 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@PARAKANYAA: Rats - somehow I missed that the second category existed. I'll go ahead and fix it now. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 22:44, 25 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! PARAKANYAA (talk) 22:49, 25 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Categories again

It doesn't seem very helpful to replace categories like British science fiction novels and American mystery novels with such a broad category as English-language novels, it makes the categories less useful for navigation because the latter category will be so enormous. You could just add the smaller categories as sub-categories of the larger one instead. Richard75 (talk) 23:22, 25 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Richard75: So this is interesting. I had been proceeding on the model of Category:English-language television shows, which contains the subcat Category:American English-language television shows - I had intended to proceed a bit and see what the reaction was before proceeding further. (That hatnote at the head of the category wasn't there when I looked before...which is evidently longer ago than I realized.) And if there was no comment then to begin winnowing down. But then there's Category:English-language films by country, which does exactly the opposite.
So there's an inconsistency. I'll drop it for now, but it's likely something that needs to be revisited one way or the other. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 23:28, 25 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
The language category is a separate tree for a reason. There can be American Spanish-language books. Copying one over is fine as long as it is not in a subcat (and I don't think he was removing any?) PARAKANYAA (talk) 03:31, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I added some location information, it is labelled on Google maps but is a small hamlet. But can't see anything I can use to write about the place, perhaps a redirect to nearby Lancaster or Hickory Hollow Natural Area Preserve would be best.

Removing nationality parameter

This edit does nothing other than to remove an empty and unused nationality parameter from the person infobox for Jack Kershaw. While the use of the field is deprecated, why does it need to be removed on a systematic basis by an individual pressing enter thousands upon thousands of times? Can you point me to the consensus for the systematic removal of this parameter? How does this not conflict with WP:AWBRULES, which states that "Do not make insignificant or inconsequential edits. An edit that has no noticeable effect on the rendered page is generally considered an insignificant edit.", as this edit changes nothing in how the page is rendered to any reader? Why not allow these to be removed one by one as the articles are edited for other purposes? Alansohn (talk) 13:03, 4 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Alansohn: Quite apart from the fact that I am not the first editor to make such edits - I have seen at least two others do so in recent weeks, though the exact evidence for it escapes me at the moment - this is not a cosmetic edit to anyone who is viewing the article on mobile. Any article in Category:Pages using infobox person with deprecated parameters renders a clearly visible message to a mobile viewer indicating that the parameter is deprecated - I notice it every time I look at something using the mobile tool. At the very least it's another disconnection between how mobile and desktop Wikipedia work, and cleaning it up is useful. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 13:17, 4 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Articles do not appear in the depreciated parameters category if the parameter is empty. The nationality parameter at Jack Kershaw was empty, so that edit was cosmetic only. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 18:19, 6 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@WikiOriginal-9: The article Amy Barbour-James, which is currently in the category Category:Pages using infobox person with deprecated parameters, contains the "nationality" parameter in the infobox...the parameter is currently blank. Even so, when I looked at the article earlier today on mobile (I am currently on my desktop), it showed a preview warning message at the bottom of the infobox. I experimented with removing the parameter in preview, and that appears to resolve the issue.
I promise I'm not trying to be obstreperous - what am I missing here? It seems to me that the emptiness of the parameter makes no difference to the display issues. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 06:28, 7 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Other tracking cats don't display empty stuff. Someone must have set the nationality one up differently. You can remove them if you want though. Don't mind me. Thank you, ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 16:16, 7 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Revdel request

Hiya, can you please help? This blocked editor put his password on his Talk page - I've removed it but it should probably be revdel'd. Blue Sonnet (talk) 03:23, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I also realised I may have drawn attention to it with my edit summary - apologies, it's half three in the morning here and I wasn't thinking straight about that! Thanks for helping! Blue Sonnet (talk) 03:25, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Blue Sonnet: I've done what I can. I cannot revdel the current edit because it's current, but I've revdeled the summary text. As for what goes on at half three in the morning...I think we've all been in that boat at some point. (Lord knows I have.) Don't worry about it. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 03:28, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox errors

Hi there, just wanted to let you know that some of your recent cleanup is resulting in broken infoboxes due to removal of the closing brackets - }} (see Martin Schenck, Nathan Whetten, James F. Pierce). These are easy fixes that I truly don't mind doing, but I wanted to let you know, in case there was some automated fix. I think there have been about a dozen in the last day or so. Cheers, Jessicapierce (talk) 05:21, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Jessicapierce: Huh...that's interesting. I'm using a template that should, in theory, prevent that from happening. I'll have to look into it and see what kind of workaround I can develop. Probably won't be able to until tomorrow. Thanks. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:24, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Jessicapierce: I think I've come up with a workaround that ought to take care of the issue, at least in most cases - please let me know if you spot it anywhere again. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:57, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
That was quick! I look for broken infoboxes every day, and will be sure to let you know if this crops up again. Thanks, Jessicapierce (talk) 06:02, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Jessicapierce: Well, for now it's a quick-and-dirty - given the task I am working on, I don't think it's a great problem, excluding a handful of articles (given the size of the category I am working on winnowing down). Frankly, I suspect the easiest way is to exclude one particular category (two of the three linked above were members of the New York State Legislature), which I will do the next time I run a batch of articles for this, and see what results from that. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 06:04, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Honestly I almost didn't mention it at all, since as you say, the number of articles with this issue is such a tiny percentage of what I see you working on. And it's a very easy error for me to catch and fix, so no worries either way. Jessicapierce (talk) 06:10, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Jessicapierce: Please don't feel that way - it may be minor, but I never enjoy causing extra work, even if it happens more than I'd like to admit. Besides, finding out about such things makes me a better editor, and I'm always in favor of that. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 06:44, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Well that's just a completely lovely reply. I will take it to heart. :) Jessicapierce (talk) 06:50, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Same issue at Richard Bessel just now. Jessicapierce (talk) 07:07, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Also Moses Storm, Luis Raúl, Constance Carpenter. Cheers, Jessicapierce (talk) 05:31, 6 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Jessicapierce: It looks like the number is down, at least - I've tried a couple of new things tonight, and they do seem to be working. Thanks for the assist. :-) --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:34, 6 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Error at Malaysia Vasudevan and Mark Cubbon (East India Company officer), though the latter was kind of a special case - weird module within infobox. Cheers, Jessicapierce (talk) 15:52, 8 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Jessicapierce: Thanks. Kind of fitting, as last night was also rather weird... --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 17:38, 8 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Hi chief, same error at S. S. Khandare, Rohan Rao, Randhir Prasad Verma, and RAC Paul.
At each of these, I also restored some parameters I wasn't sure you meant to remove - apologies if I'm wrong! Jessicapierce (talk) 03:52, 10 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Jessicapierce: Rats...I thought I'd actually been doing reasonably well these past couple of days.
The only parameter I'm removing is that for nationality - so far as I know none of the others is deprecated, so there's no need for them to be removed as well. Thanks again for the help; I'll try and do better tomorrow. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:43, 10 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I continue to think you're doing great. :) Jessicapierce (talk) 16:54, 10 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Hello again, just found a few of these errors... simple end-bracket issue at Archer Hoskings, more complicated "I'm pretty sure you didn't mean to remove all this stuff, so I restored it" issue at Apacuana and Anzu Furukawa. (If I'm wrong, let me know.) Hope you're well, cheers! Jessicapierce (talk) 05:29, 27 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Jessicapierce: Thanks very much. I tried to be good, but I fell asleep before I could check any of my output, I'm afraid.
Speaking of which: Zackmann08, I saw, asked you about what script you're using to turn up these errors, and I'd like to ask the same, if you don't mind. Currently, I do my spot-checking the old-fashioned way, quick and dirty, and I'd love to know of a better way to handle it than that. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 06:37, 27 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, as always I maintain that a few easily-spotted and -fixed errors are no price at all to pay, for the amount of cleanup work you're doing!
It's not a script, more of a clumsy hack, based on the fact that an exploded infobox usually leaves the word "infobox" visible on the page, along with infobox fields. So I search for the word "infobox", then control-F search the results for the pipe character. Like this. There's a good example there right now actually, at ManaTapu. Jessicapierce (talk) 06:48, 27 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Jessicapierce: You have no idea how much better that makes me feel. :-) Seriously - my way of checking my work is pretty much a similarly clumsy hack, searching my recent edits for a couple of particular clues. Glad to see there's no shortcut I'm missing. :-) --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 09:31, 28 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Well that makes me feel a great deal better. I always assume anyone with a higher edit count than mine knows how to use all kinds of fancy scripts and bots, whereas I just wandered in off the street and they let me stay :) Jessicapierce (talk) 23:38, 28 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Jessicapierce: Funny...that's how I feel too, most of the time. :-)
Seriously, I'm a Luddite of the worst sort; what initially attracted me to Wikipedia, in part, was the ease with which I could understand the editing interface. All the extra bells and whistles are nice, and all, but sometimes I like to go back to that early simplicity. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 07:31, 1 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
It's genuinely so nice to hear this from a power user :)
I'm also grateful for the easy entry to editing. I do (usually) like the fact that there's always, ALWAYS more to learn around here. Sometimes I'll fix a bit of unfamiliar formatting, usually by copying what someone else has done elsewhere, and if it works, the result might be tiny on the page, but I feel like a legitimate genius. :) Jessicapierce (talk) 17:01, 1 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Jessicapierce: Same here - every time I learn a new skill beyond the absolutely basic (mainly by copying something I've seen someone else do and testing it until I get it right.) I still get a thrill from that sort of thing after more than twenty years here. :-) --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 04:07, 2 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

February music

story · music · places

From vacation, so missed some interesting stories, such as about Jubilant Sykes. Today about Richie Beirach, jazz pianist. Which of his music samples would you have chosen? - Thank you for the lovely response just above, and the many fine fixes you make, and I click thank-you only every now and then)! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:14, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Tamás Vásáry today, who began his career with a Mozart concerto at age 8. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:17, 12 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Today something new: a 100th birthday of someone alive, György Kurtág! In 2004 I was there when he and his wife played for the Rheingau Musik Festival where he was the featured composer. They played as the 2019 DYK said, on an upright piano, - listen, the last piece was the same. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:11, 19 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Today's main page features four biographies I helped to bring there, two women and two men, three opera singers (one pictured) and an actor, - a record for me, I believe ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:55, 24 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Keep at it!

Hey there! I was just looking through the Wikipedia page for the clean tech revolution, and I noticed you were the last person to edit it (the one before you was 3 years ago). I had never heard of this idea before and was thinking about how dated it feels now that the tech industry is riddled with AI slop.

Possible Wikipedia page

Erhard Rom is an American scenic designer, best known for his extensive work in opera. Rom’s designs have been featured by leading opera companies worldwide, including San Francisco Opera, the Royal Swedish Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Seattle Opera, Washington National Opera, Los Angeles Opera, Houston Grand Opera, Wexford Festival Opera, Glimmerglass Festival, and many others Life and Career Born in Seattle, Washington, Erhard became enamored with opera at the age of eight, after seeing his first live performance. At home, he constructed a makeshift stage from boxes and crafted paper figures to recreate what he had seen. Over time, his productions grew more elaborate, culminating in a custom-built scale model of the Seattle Opera House with dimmable stage lighting and working battens for moving scenery. By 13, Erhard was staging live performances using painted, costumed plaster figures operated by sticks and accompanied by a recording of the opera. Rom went on to study music and design in college, earning an undergraduate degree in music from the University of Washington and an M.F.A. in scenic design from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. After graduating, he worked extensively with regional theatre and opera companies, devoting most of his career to opera, including 14 world premieres. Rom has collaborated with many of the world’s leading directors, creating hundreds of settings for professional opera and theater productions across the US and internationally.

Style His designs are characterized by large, abstract architectural forms combined with the use of technology—particularly digital projection—to create dynamic, fluid stage environments. Rom’s work is celebrated for its poetic power and emotional depth, crafting visually compelling spaces that amplify the dramatic narrative. A notable example is the Atlanta Opera’s production of Wagner’s Ring of the Nibelung, in which Rom employed a massive LED wall in conjunction with scrims and string curtains. This sophisticated use of cutting-edge LED technology created an immersive visual experience, seamlessly integrating physical scenery with digital imagery to reinforce both the text and subtext of the story. “Projections are used not to replace scenery, rather to help penetrate and illuminate the inner psyche….The stage becomes no longer representational, but a theater of the mind” - Mark Gresham, EEarRelevant

Awards and Honors Rom was named a finalist for Designer of the Year at the International Opera Awards in London in both 2025 and 2015. His work has been exhibited at the Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space and at the National Opera Center in Manhattan. In 2014, he designed the European premiere of Kevin Puts’s opera Silent Night, a production that received two honors at the 2015 Irish Times Theatre Awards, including Best Opera Production of 2014 and the Audience Choice Award. Teaching Rom is a full professor of design in the Department of Theatre and Dance at Montclair State University.

Cosmetic changes

This is a cosmetic change which does not affect the rendered display. Do you have approval to make mass changes like this? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:58, 12 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@MSGJ: It does appear to affect the rendered display on mobile, though. Every time I look at an article with that parameter on mobile, it shows a warning message under the infobox.
I mean, I'll set it aside for now. But I'm not convinced that it's entirely cosmetic, unless I am misunderstanding something when I look at mobile versions of articles. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 00:30, 13 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

When doing this in terms of removing the invalid/ignored bolding around "Use dmy dates" templates, don't leave the bolding behind, remove it outright.

Footnotes to BLP footnotes during AWB run

Hi, I've been looking through book articles with various maintenance tags recently and stumbled across The Shiva Option, which somehow got converted from {{mfn}} to {{BLP more footnotes needed}} tag here. Any idea why this happened? I don't see any tags on the page that'd make AWB think this is a BLP. Thanks, ScalarFactor (talk) 00:22, 18 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Qualitative Research / Documentary for Wikimedia

Hi Ser Amantio di Nicolao, I’m an independent researcher conducting qualitative research for Wikimedia about the motivations and work practices of top Wikipedia contributors. We would love if you participated! It would involve one interview (if in-person, we would travel to you) and we would be happy to provide compensation for your time. The research may be used by Wikimedia to design new tools for Wikipedians. We may also edit the same interviews into something more akin to a documentary. Let me know if you’re interested and I'll provide more details. Thanks!

Jonah Ginsburg (talk) 22:23, 20 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonah Ginsburg: Potentially, depending on the details. I'd need to know more before I'd commit one way or the other. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 00:16, 21 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks @Ser Amantio di Nicolao, and sorry for the delay.
The research is focused on learning about how top Wikipedians stay motivated and how they reach such high levels of productivity on the platform (they have likely developed personal tools, habits, and attitudes that enable/augment their productivity). Again, these insights will help Wikimedia design new tools/features for editors.
The documentary portion of the project (if you would like to be in it) would essentially be a series of short portraits of top Wikipedians.
Happy to answer questions. If you shoot me an email, I'll send over a consent/privacy form and we can work together to schedule a time. Best, Jonah Ginsburg (talk) 22:43, 6 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ser Amantio de Nicolao! I noticed you added the MDY tag to Daphne & Velma a few times. I was just curious what remaining issues you're seeing there? I thought I'd fixed the issues with this edit, but I would be happy to go through the article again to fix any remaining issues. Thanks and let me know! Cheers, Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor ♥ 17:35, 26 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@KatnissEverdeen: No issues. The tag is merely there to identify the article as one that uses MDY format, so that any editor who comes across it can be aware and change dates if need be; I also seem to recall having heard once that there was a bot that was looking through the MDY category for articles to fix. It's a tracking category, basically. Nothing else. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:17, 27 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the info and clarification! I hadn't realized it was just a tracking category, but will keep that in mind for the future. Cheers, Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor ♥ 02:21, 27 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@KatnissEverdeen: So to be fair, it may be a bit more than a tracking category...I'm sure there's a descriptor out there that I'm grasping for and missing at the moment. But regardless, it's not an indicator that you need to do anything different, if that makes sense. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 06:35, 27 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, totally understood! The first time you added the tag, there was a discrepancy where a few of the dates were YMD format (which I fixed). I had initially assumed the template was to denote that there was an issue regarding the date formatting, but I understand now it's just a way to categorize articles that use MDY format rather than there being any unresolved issue. Cheers, Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor ♥ 20:13, 27 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@KatnissEverdeen: Looks like a couple of our edits collided, basically...I was adding the template to a series of articles for which I had trawled. I'm sure there are a few others that have discrepancies as well.
Anyhow - happy editing! --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 09:42, 28 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Ingrid Tuk Jansen Chess

Hello, I don't know how to change someones Wikipedia. I saw you made some changes to the Wikipedia about my friend Ingrid Jansen. I want to give you some information for corrections. First she was born on 5 March 1945 as Ingrid Jansen. When she became champion in 1968 it was under the name Tuk because she used at that time the name of her husband. She past away and was found dead on the 17th of December last year. For source you can use her in memoriam from her chessclub in Steenwijk. https://schaakclubsteenwijk.blogspot.com/2025/12/in-memoriam-ingrid-jansen.html
