Hello

I want to commend you an all of your content creations. Secondly where did you get your name from. Sounds kind of sciency. maucho eagle _(c) 03:18, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot. Not science though, it's from the Aeneid - 'the hide of a dappled lynx', supposedly worn by the virgin huntress sister of Venus - and from there is borrowed for the Inferno for one of the three beasts symbolizing concupiscence...

Quite the long name though. If you ever wanted to shorten it to just Maculosae, I could help you. maucho eagle _(c) 04:10, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cultural Properties of Japan

Hi! It seems that you are interested in Cultural Properties of Japan. A while ago I kicked off this little project and together with User:Urashimataro started to create articles found in Template:Cultural Properties of Japan (still needs some work). I'd be very happy if you decided to help with it. There are lots of open tasks, such as creating articles on some of the more interesting cultural properties, finding/uploading/adding pictures of cultural properties, completing lists of cultural properties, keeping lists and articles up to date (new nominations...). I am currently adding some prose to List of National Treasures of Japan (writings: books) in order to nominate it at WP:FLC and am slowly adding to List of Important Intangible Folk Cultural Properties (help appreciated). bamse (talk) 22:14, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your work is the best thing I've found in Wikipedia - though I hope you will be doing the same for ICPs shortly... I've found it a fantastic resource as I've tried to find my way around and would be very pleased to help where I can, especially on populating the intangibles. Thank you for the invite, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 22:30, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Precious anniversary

"No man is an Iland, intire of it selfe; every man is a peece of the Continent, a part of the maine" - thanks for that as well, - you are an awesome Wikipedian! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:00, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

April music

Happy Easter! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:12, 5 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you as ever—and for Easter Oratorio, so glad to see it as today's featured article, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 21:52, 5 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) 19:23, 17 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely, though sometimes it seems a bit like le pont d'Avignon; as a child we drove over Pont Julien on a family holiday; and my grandfather taught me bridge. Looks like you started Andreas Schager years ago, Siegfried recently at the Royal Opera House, the set for the last act like a meadow of flowers; you haven't edited Thomas Dunford yet, beautiful playing during the Wigmore Hall's recent Dowland weekend, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 21:54, 17 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Great image! - I edited Dunford a bit. - Schager was quite a revelation as Tristan in 2012. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:11, 18 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. - Thank you for efforts regarding dedication on the main page. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:32, 30 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Destubathon of the Americas

You are invited to participate in the Destubathon of the Americas, a contest/editathon which will run from May 1 to May 31. The goal is to destub as many of our 475,000+ stubs for the Americas (from Alaska down to Chile) as possible. A good chance to have fun in expanding many of our old stale stubs and win up to £2000 ($2680) in Amazon vouchers for expanding stub articles. Sign up in the Contestants/participants section on the contest page if interested. Even if not interested in prizes you are still warmly welcome to participate in it as an editathon! Hopefully we can achieve something significant in the month of May together! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:14, 15 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Did you know nominations/Die Stechardin

If you could drop the hyperbole here, that would be great; it reads as if I'm talking to a teenager who's simultaneously discovered an online thesaurus and ChatGPT's capacity for exaggeration. Thanks, ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 14:42, 27 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Well, on the basis much of the competition seems only just to have discovered their genitals, which I believe among the more precocious may occur in utero—or somewhat more pica/turesquely 子宮内—sounds like an improvement; how about I commit to telling it how it is, and you to stop trying to throw an anglo-saxon spanner in the works, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 15:19, 27 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mind if I bring up the unorthodox promotion method at WT:DYK? It seems somewhat questionable to me, and would appreciate further opinions on it. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 16:45, 27 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

If you wish, feel free; thank you for asking first, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 16:47, 27 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

This is getting increasingly tiresome. If you have problems with the conduct of other editors, take it to WP:ANI; feel free to monologue there about the injustice of erotica or Japanese phrases all you want. If you continue arguing in bad faith and issuing personal attacks, I'll open a section for you there myself. Thanks, ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 10:07, 29 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Maculosae tegmine lyncis, I noticed your comment here: @Storye book: were I to strike/reverse my hook approval above, would you be willing to step in and approve, then I can promote this one without recourse to IAR or some such. I realize you may eager to have that particular hook promoted. Please note, however, that per WP:INAPPNOTE, posting messages to users selected based on their known opinions may be seen as an "inappropriate notification" since there was some opposition to the hook you asked them to approve. To avoid the impression that you're giving an inappropriate notification, please refrain from doing this in the future.

I see that Narutolovehinata5 has un-promoted the hook to allow a third party to look at it. – Epicgenius (talk) 01:43, 28 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Epicgenius and Narutolovehinata5: that's nothing relative to the totally inappropriate personal animus attempting to derail this totally uncontroversial nomination, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 02:31, 28 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Maculosae tegmine lyncis, I'll agree that the discussion was rather abrasive. It isn't yet at the level where I'd recommend going to WP:ANI, which is where we'd go if this behavioral problem were severe enough.

As for the matter at hand, though, I do think it is advisable to have a third set of eyes look at this, if only because a completely uninvolved promoter would be able to spot any potential errors that haven't been caught. – Epicgenius (talk) 02:40, 28 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

But a third-party has been involved; and it's had more scrutiny than normal, because I looked through it with review-level scrutiny, though did not provide the approval upon which promotion was based, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 02:42, 28 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that you have a preference for ALT0: however, it was challenged, meaning that either a third-party editor needs to overturn the challenge, or an agreement needs to be made on another hook. I also have to repeat that your promotion was out of process, and the pull was endorsed, meaning that it would need a new promoter anyway. Doing what you are doing right now is counterproductive: if you really wish for ALT0 to run, again: just wait for a new reviewer to approve it, and another editor to promote it. Please be patient.

Having said that, I am willing to re-promote ALT0 if a third-party editor, one who has not been pinged or invited to the nomination, approves it. However, I am probably too involved to promote it either, so a third-party opinion is really the safest option here, even if it will take time. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:37, 29 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't a storm-in-a-tea-cup, it's a totally obscene nonsense for which you are largely responsible, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 09:40, 29 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

As stated above and in the nomination, you were not supposed to promote a hook that you yourself reviewed. In addition, you also specifically asked Storye book to approve the nomination, instead of asking a third-party editor, or even pinging SB neutrally. Both of these were out-of-process. It is common for promoted nominations that have outstanding concerns to be pulled, the pulling was within reasonable DYK parameters. AJ29 objected to the hook and the promotion in the first place, while Launchballer endorsed the pull. At the very least, the hook is contested, and it should not be repromoted until the concerns have been addressed. Instead of making such comments, please explain why you promoted the hook yourself instead of waiting for a third-party. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:48, 29 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

As discussed there, you were going to justify your involved editing ad loc before we move on to any possible further points, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 09:49, 29 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Odes 1.4

On 7 May 2026, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Odes 1.4, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that, according to Ezra Pound, it would take at least a week for a translator to do the first line of Horace's fourth ode justice? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Odes 1.4. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Odes 1.4), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to nominate it.

That's a great article, thank you! Thank you also for uplifting spirits there! - Die Stechardin made it to the main page; - the historic woman was a flower seller ... --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:32, 8 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Today: Felicity Lott. My story. If you have time, listen to her singing Friendly Vision, with the word "peace" (Frieden) floating up high, softly and serenely. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:42, 20 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
