Happy new year 2025, opened with trumpet fanfares that first sounded OTD in 1725 (as the Main page has). -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:18, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My story today is about Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ, 500 years old and we'll sing it today. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:32, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Happy New Year!! DanCherek (talk) 05:58, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Liebster Immanuel, Herzog der Frommen, BWV 123, my story today 300 years after the first performance, is up for GAN. (could use lilypond) - Dada Masilo will be my story tomorrow. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:06, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My story today is about a composer who influenced music history also by writing. Did you watch Masilo talk and dance? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:51, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it was a beautiful video! So sad to hear of her death. DanCherek (talk) 03:22, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Today, pictured on the Main page, Tosca, in memory of her first appearance on stage OTD in 1900, and of principal author Brian Boulton. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:52, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today I had a composer (trumpeter, conductor) on the main page who worked closely with another who just became GA, - small world! To celebrate: mostly flowers pics from vacation ;) - BWV 3 was for last Sunday, and BWV 111 is for next ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:30, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Guideline and policy news

• Following an RFC, Wikipedia:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
• A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.

Technical news

• The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.

Arbitration

• Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.

Miscellaneous

• A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

Hi, Jen. I want your opinion on something. I was thinking about creating a re-direct page for rothbardianism, but I don't know what it should re-direct to. I thought about re-directing it to anarcho-capitalism, but rothbardianism is defined by wikionary as Murray Rothbard's philosophy, and Wikiquote re-directs Rothbardism to a page of Murray Rothbard quotes, so maybe it should re-direct to his Wikipedia page. I want this re-direct to be consistent with Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects, so I'm asking for your input and opinion on this. Sorry for writing this long paragraph. --HaveYouHeardAboutTheBird (talk) 21:10, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi HaveYouHeardAboutTheBird, that's a good question! Ultimately it'll be up to you as the initial redirect creator (and anyone can edit or participate in further discussions after that if they feel differently), but if I had to pick I would probably go with Murray Rothbard as the target. Just because it seems like a good target page to send anyone who searches for "Rothbardianism" and encounters the redirect – the Murray Rothbard is full of information about him and his views – whereas anarcho-capitalism could make sense but I think it'd get a bit murkier in the case that anyone has an interpretation of anarcho-capitalism that differs from what Rothbard espoused. DanCherek (talk) 22:49, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your input, DanCherek. I think I'll make the redirect for Murray Rothbard's page. HaveYouHeardAboutTheBird (talk) 00:47, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
