April music

Happy Easter! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:15, 5 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Today is the last day Easter Oratorio is on the main page, - did you know that the article became FA because I was sooo frustrated that neither DYK nor OTD accepted it for Easter last year, the 300th anniversary? Thank you for trying a hook last year! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:39, 8 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for help with Schwarz-Schilling and Adorf! Do you think you could translate de:Hessischer Friedenspreis? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:39, 14 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The prize deserves an English Wikipedia article. It's not so easy with peace, see Abiy Ahmed, recipient 2019, withdrawn 2022. Grimes 2 13:27, 14 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! - Today's FA is Bridge, - a broad topic by many. My father loved bridges, and I wrote a few articles with that in mind (Empress Elisabeth Bridge, adding to Chain bridge and Müngsten Bridge, the latter for childhood memory), and also thinking of bridges between people. - I brought two bios to the same page, Christian Schwarz-Schilling and Bill Ramsey whose regular Swingtime I used to hear in the car driving to choir rehearsals. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:11, 17 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

ps: listening to the hr sinfonieorchester concert, intermission --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:13, 17 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Today's story is about one of three bios I brought to today's main page: look and listen, an extraordinary woman in many respects. - Next tip: Hamm's birthday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:42, 30 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Links to draft articles

Please do not introduce links to draft articles in actual articles, as you did to Frankfurt International Airport Terminal 1. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 20:34, 29 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't do that, it was Jlittlebigbeard. Grimes 2 20:37, 29 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
