January songs

in friendship

Thank you for being around, advice for music articles, and your FAC support! - Happy new year, in friendship! - Today I show - in "songs" - yesterday's snow, and today's music, Schon gewusst? in memory of Jerome Kohl, a friend --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:00, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

2022 began happily with vacation. I uploaded images but stopped at 22 January - click on songs. 30 January means 10 years of Precious. It's also the birthday of a friend, - I'm so happy I mentioned his DYK on his 90th birthday when he was still alive. I have a great singer on DYK whom I heard, Elena Guseva, and wait for a Recent death appearance of Georg Christoph Biller whom I saw in action. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:00, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

update: we have now Guseva pictured, Biller pictured better (but still not on the Main page), and one more day of my pics --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:09, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.

• AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
• The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 15:59, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I want to thank you for reviewing the article on George Meikle Kemp and passing it for a Good Article. I am so grateful for your help and your patience. I have learnt a lot while working with you on this and what I have learnt I can now use in trying to improve my other articles and, hopefully, ease them up to Good Article status. The friendliness with which you have communicated has been much appreciated. Regards. Vortexionio (talk) 16:36, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks​ for your kind words, as well as for all your work on the article. You helped make the review process go very smoothly! Amitchell125 (talk) 16:45, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

		The Antarctican Penguin Barnstar

Wow that is an intriguing barnstar directly above. I just dropped to let you know that I followed your suggestion and submitted Olive Morris to FAC (after a pretty thorough peer review). Cheers, Mujinga (talk) 13:46, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mujinga: thanks for letting me know. I am working on rescuing the Antarctica article from being delisted as an FA, hence the barnstar. Regards—and good luck with your FAC, Amitchell125 (talk) 14:36, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

An article you recently created, List of bibliographical materials on Ukrainian music, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hey Amitchell, I hope all is well with you. I'm trying to get back into saving Josquin des Prez at FAR. A lot of locations are included in the Josquin des Prez#Birth and background section, so I figured a map might be nice. Unfortunately, I can't find any appropriate ones on the commons—there is one in a book I'm using, and I was wondering if you would have any interest in recreating it for the article. I've seen your map work on some other articles and have always been rather impressed; you can see the map here. No pressure if you're busy with Antartica or other projects, just thought I'd check. Best – Aza24 (talk) 03:50, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi​, happy to help, I'm away from home for most of this week, but will sort out a map on my return. Regards, AM Amitchell125 (talk) 06:34, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Looking forward to it, thank you! Aza24 (talk) 22:58, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Aza24: map now produced - see here. Please advise regarding any amendments you wish me to make. Regards, Amitchell125 (talk) 12:40, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is great, thank you! Could you possibly label the rivers?—only because they're mentioned in the article text. The one on the right is Haine and the rest is the Escaut—the map I gave above labels the Escaut twice (presumably to avoid confusion?) but whatever you think is best would work great, I'm sure. – Aza24 (talk) 07:17, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Aza24: Sorted, happy to oblige. Amitchell125 (talk) 08:10, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you—And I must applaud your fabulous work on Artemy Vedel! I began on Mykola Lysenko, but paused until the book on him I ordered arrives (hopefully later today...). The book is in English though, and I must say, you have more of a knack for these non-English sources than I... how do you manage them...!? When I did Cataldo Amodei, I used the google translate's camera-translation for the Italian sources, which was a pain, but definitely the only way to write a comprehensive article on him. Aza24 (talk) 08:19, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your kind words—I am usually forced to use Google Translate as well, but where possible I look at a second source to help ensure the facts are correct (even when I don't cite one of them. It usually works, but it's a chore. Amitchell125 (talk) 11:35, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ah I see, well it certainly seems to have paid off. My Lysenko book has arrived, and it is utterly massive so I suppose I will be doing a lot of revising with it! I will pick up the Vedel GA later this week if no one else does. Best – Aza24 (talk) 06:29, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Opera in Ukraine, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Formalism.

	The Copyeditor's Barnstar
	Thank you for your ongoing work with Antarctica after it was listed on Featured Article Review. I worked on the article long ago and appreciate the time you're spending in cleaning it up. Even if it doesn't survive FAR, your improvements help keep it at a high level of quality. --Mahanga (Talk) 01:05, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
