Duplicate article[edit]

Hello, there are two different articles about a single person Imroz (painter) and Imroz (Punjabi painter). Can you please merge them into one if possible. I suggest that the first article which have infobox should be kept and the other one be deleted. Regards - Bairagi Ram (talk) 03:53, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bairagi Ram: I've redirected the second (duplicate) article to Imroz (painter) and left a note at Talk:Imroz (painter) so that anyone who is interested in merging any useful content is notified about it. DanCherek (talk) 15:00, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship review has concluded. Several proposals have passed outright and will proceed to implementation, including creating a discussion-only period (3b) and administrator elections (13) on a trial basis. Other successful proposals, such as creating a reminder of civility norms (2), will undergo further refinement in Phase II. Proposals passed on a trial basis will be discussed in Phase II, after their trials conclude. Further details on specific proposals can be found in the full report.

Technical news

Arbitration

The arbitration case Conflict of interest management has been closed.

RFA2024 update: phase I concluded, phase II begins[edit]

Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:

Proposals 2 and 9b (phase II discussion): Add a reminder of civility norms at RfA and Require links for claims of specific policy violations
Proposal 3b (in trial): Make the first two days discussion-only
Proposal 13 (in trial): Admin elections
Proposal 14 (implemented): Suffrage requirements
Proposals 16 and 16c (phase II discussion): Allow the community to initiate recall RfAs and Community recall process based on dewiki
Proposal 17 (phase II discussion): Have named Admins/crats to monitor infractions
Proposal 24 (phase II discussion): Provide better mentoring for becoming an admin and the RfA process
Proposal 25 (implemented): Require nominees to be extended confirmed

See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron (talk), via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:08, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

May music[edit]

On the bicentenary of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, I remember our recent uplifting choral concert in pictures, on my user page and in my concerts (leading to the two at the church's article).--Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:12, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I love that symphony. Playing it was one of the highlights of my time in my college orchestra. DanCherek (talk) 18:18, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Understand. I sang it (alto) in Idstein once. - Today is the Feast of the Ascension for which Bach composed his oratorio, - perhaps watch a bit how the closing movement was performed in Bach's church. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:42, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Magdalena Hinterdobler is on the Main page today, together with an opera that reviewers deemed not interesting and too obscure for our general readers. The soprano thought differently, - listen and see. - Also on the Main page: a TFA by sadly missed Vami_IV. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:14, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I miss him too. He did a lot of great work on that article. DanCherek (talk) 12:48, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Doom (2016 video game) - today's TFA is again by Vami --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:52, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

did you listen and see? - today's story has a pic of a woman holding her cat, a DYK of 5 years ago - the recent pics show 2 orange tip butterflies --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:33, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Core Contest is halfway through![edit]
