March music

New month: today is the birthday of Chopin and Ricardo Kanji, see my stories of today and yesterday, with dream music by the first and Bach played by the other. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:09, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Kanji sounds more Japanese! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:39, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Are you interested in Monika Lundi, referencing and improving translation? Bastian's sweetheart. I added links and copied ills, but have no more time for her. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:42, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

She didn't last very long! I'll have a look later. Can I tempt you to join Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The European Destubathon? Even if you don't want prizes you're welcome to sign up and contribute like you would normally. Entries will be tipped into the Europe challenge and hopefully we can set 20 or 25,000 as the new target! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:17, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Lundi just said something about her "Schatz" when he died, and now also died. I'm not happy about the rape allegation (another of my subjects, small world.) - Ask me again when I'm less busy, - I haven't had time to update the Europe challenge. We certainly destubbed Ferenc Rados ;) - Looking forward to Carmen's 150th "birthday" tomorrow, - the Met presented a version recorded in 2010 yesterday, related to the occasion. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:02, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today: Carmen turns 150, as the main page and my story tell you. I chose a 1962 concert of the Habanera, - enjoy! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:06, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Updated the Europe list: less than 200 left! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:11, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Edesio Alejandro died, - I managed the bio, but find no source for the long lists of films, which also has some abbreviations that tell me nothing, - help? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:39, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'll look later, forgot you said about Lundi! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:27, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! - On Ravel's birthday, we also think of a conductor and five more composers ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:48, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I nominated Alejandro, but there are still films without ref. I have no idea where Cuban films would be listed but not IMDb (which is not regarded as reliable). Our List of Cuban films is no help, nor are the film articles. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:16, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, not had time today, yet another film AFD I was just editing. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 22:40, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Understand. I found two lists now, - could you simply check if they look reliable to you? - No details needed. If you have one more minute, look for abbrevations unexplained (because I don't know what they stand for.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:09, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looks well-sourced?? Edesio Alejandro♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:12, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

now ;) - I commented out those - all documentaries - for which I didn't find a ref, but I think it should work as is, without them. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:54, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Great job! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:19, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. A German actor in film and TV is my next project (see my user page), but I'm out for the day, help welcome. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:57, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today Rossini's latest "sin", as the main page has --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:10, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today I could have written five stories off the main page, and chose Sofia Gubaidulina. I find the TFA also interesting, and two DYK, and a birthday OTD. How about you? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:49, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looks really good, well done, could have been written by a Women in Red editor! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:51, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you mean the composer, that's an old work of many. Ceoil helped these days, and asked him about going for GA. The actor, sadly, fell off the RD lists, and it's too late for DYK. I'd try but vacation ... will probably let it go. - What do you think of the DYK nom for today's story, or the difference of what I would have liked to say (give her a place in time and places, point at Carmen as representative of what she could do well) and what's left on the main page: mainly years, no music. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:43, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I was going to say it looks like a GA, even a future FA perhaps. Well done all! So many articles to pick from! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:31, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, GA some day perhaps! - The actor appeared, afterall, after begging for two days ;) - Today: an opera, 100 years old OTD, on Bach's birthday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:26, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Happy 340th Birthday Mr. Bach! You musical genius you! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:32, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Two RD stories to say bye to March --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:48, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How many Bach works are GA or FA now? ♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:43, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You know where to find it, - I have other things to do, and choir rehearsal. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:32, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I thought you would have known without checking... ♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:39, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not a counter ;) - No change in FAs in two years, but many more GAs. Want to do a review? The open ones are on my user page. No rush, 3 other reviews are on. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:46, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have a contest to run tomorrow and am working on the stub lists at the moment. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:52, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Destubbing contest

It's great to see you have been able to firm up The European Destubathon for April. I now spend most of my editing time on reviewing and improving new articles. Many are stubs which could be raised to Start class with a few additions. For the contest, would it be permissible to destub new articles created during the month of April itself? I'm not interested in the prizes but this might help improve the quality of the articles created and may well provide additional incentives for newbies.

You may already have seen on the WiR talk page that I have suggested "Destubbing women stubs" could be presented as one the WiR events in April. If you agree, you might like to suggest how it should be presented.--Ipigott (talk) 09:02, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, appreciated. Yes, stubs can be created in April and expanded within the month if you're not competing for prizes. The issue is that we have over 760,000 existing European stubs and need a mechanism to reduce them. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:25, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

LOL. It is only very minor, look at the date formatting, digits vs text. Pick one style only, just ensure the references are consistently formatted! Ref 11 has a different style. You're off to a great start! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:23, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question

By the way, how to count the "readable prose count that you've expanded it to"? Either I use XTools' Authorship (in which i get all of those numbers written beside the European rticles I have destubbed) or I manually count all of the total byte change from the last edit to my most recent edit from the article's 'View history' page? Because when I click the 'cur' or 'prev' in an article's history page, it only shows the changes, but not the total byte sum of changes. I have installed that 'Page size' interface from MediaWiki, and it gives only the total "Prose size (including all HTML code)". Chongkian (talk) 12:43, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

All you need to do is ensure that the article was under 1500 bytes of readable prose when you started. And then simply link a diff of your expansion and what the readable prose count is in your completed version. As long as it was under 1500 bytes and over in the end that's fine, though try to avoid tiny expansions and picking articles which are just under the requirement. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:52, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Georgia is on the same longitude as Saudi Arabia, I just don't consider it Europe. It's West Asia. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 04:38, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I have taken out Georgia. By the way, so it seems like this contest is not only just adding more content (more bytes) to make an article from stub-class to become start-class, but also to clean up whatever that has been written before, e.g. rewrite everything based on MoS, adding citations to every important fact written (like you said at least in every paragraph), standardization of writing style according to MoS etc. It seems there are more works to be done here. Chongkian (talk) 09:03, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, clean articles which are verifiable are so important I think, they make us look really good. I would rather a clean, basic starter article than a big bloated, poorly sourced article with inconsistent formatting! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:15, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just no unsourced paragraphs and consistent formatting is all that is needed, if you got into the habit of that you should be fine and I could approve your articles faster. I appreciate the articles you expanded. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:00, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Euro Destubathon - doubt

Many football articles are already more than 1500 bytes but are rated stubs. But most of them don't have proper refs for DoB, etc. Can I add refs and change the rating using rater and add them to the list. I am not entering them for contest, though!

European destubathon - up-rating a talkpage

Hi Dr. B! I've been reviewing articles with a Stub-class talkpage rating, while the article itself may or may not have a Stub template. Of these, I have come across several articles that don't have a Stub template on the article page, and don't need further expansion/improvement to be considered Start-class. In this scenario, I have uprated the talkpage (Start-class or better) but haven't added the article to the Destubathon page as I made no changes to the article itself. Now I'm wondering if this is considered "destubbing"? Should I be including these articles on the Destubathon list? --Rosiestep (talk) 17:15, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rosie. Even if you add a few sourced lines or reference some uncited material you can add it to the main list as an improvement. I want the list to really be a list of article improvements, just removing a tag, especially if there is unsourced material still remaining I don't think is ideal, though it is a destubbing. But removing a tag and helping sort them is always appreciated. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:42, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
