Happy new year 2025, opened with trumpet fanfares that first sounded OTD in 1725 (as the Main page had it). My story today is about a composer who influenced music history also by writing. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:52, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

... and 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) 19:35, 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 ;) - I see I have to write a bit more to connect the message to the image ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:09, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'll do my best to write something more. I'm glad you had a nice vacation Gerda. I enjoyed my wikibreak, and I appreciate that you kept updating me. It helped me feel connected even while away. — Wug·a·po·des 07:38, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, makes me feel good ;) - I have more vacation pics to offer, and today's story of Werner Bardenhewer. I took the pic, and it was my DYK on his 90th birthday, in both English and German. He spent the day in Africa, and after his return said - chatting after a mass of thanks he celebrated at Mariä Heimsuchung - that we'd have to talk about these articles. - On Mozart's birthday a few days ago, almost 33k views were counted to his article, - almost as many as an average TFA. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:35, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sent an email your way to both of the emails I have on file for you since I'm not sure which, if either, you're checking these days. I also figure you're more likely checking email than this talk page, but I figured I would try everything. Thanks for your time reading (and hopefully responding) to the email. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:41, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Seen and replied. — Wug·a·po·des 07:25, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think I know how you can fix the dark mode problems in Capricorn, where the background is light green and the text on top of it is white:

.skin-theme-clientpref-night .kephir-sagittarius-editor {
	background: #040;
	border-color: #dfd;
}

I tried adding this in my global.css and it works as expected QuickQuokka ^{[⁠talk • contribs]} 08:21, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, QuickQuokka. I appreciate the patch and will test it out when I have some time this weekend. — Wug·a·po·des 07:32, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

please fix the disambiguation. David notMD (talk) 03:53, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

David notMD I don't know what you mean, could you be more specific? Unless it's something that needs advanced permissions, it will probably be faster for you to do it instead of waiting for me. — Wug·a·po·des 06:16, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Niacin (disambiguation) does not address the recent name change decision. As the person who had brought the old Niacin to GA, I am too depressed about that decision to be motivated to look at that or look at the Nicotinic acid and Vitamin B3 content to see if any information lost in the post-decision editing. David notMD (talk) 12:00, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@David notMD Sorry to hear that, and I hope you find your interest again despite the set-back. I took a look at the disambiguation page and it seems to list all the important stuff: Niacin may refer to B3 vitamers, one vitamer specifically, or a band I never heard of. I don't think the RM changed any of that? — Wug·a·po·des 08:14, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
