Your draft article, Draft:Amalgamations with Christchurch City

Hello, Schwede66. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Amalgamations with Christchurch City".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:37, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

More anonymous trolling

Hi, Captain Anonymous is back with their tiresome edit warring on double contrabass flute and subcontrabass flute, can we please semipermanently protect these pages again (see recent edits and talk pages for easily ascertained context). Cheers and happy new year :) Jon (talk) 02:09, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Jonathanischoice, that's done. Schwede66 04:00, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

• Following an RFC, Wikipedia:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
• A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.

Technical news

• The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.

Arbitration

• Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.

Miscellaneous

• A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

story · music · places

My story today is about a composer who influenced music history also by writing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:41, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Today a violinist from Turkey, Ayla Erduran, whom you can watch playing Schubert chamber music --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:10, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

... and today, pictured on the Main page, Tosca, in memory of her first appearance on stage OTD in 1900, and of principal author Brian Boulton. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:12, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Today, between many who just died, Tobias Kratzer on his 45th birthday who was good for an unusual DYK mentioning a Verdi opera in 2018, - you can see his work in the trailer of another one that I saw, and my talk page has a third (but by a different director). 2025 pics, finally. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:57, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

Today I had a composer (trumpeter, conductor) on the main page who worked closely with another who just became GA, - small world! To celebrate: mostly flowers pics from vacation ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:02, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

Categories

Should the article Joan Bolger and Jim Bolger have the category Category:People from Waikanae (where they currently live) or should the category be where they grew up or something like that? ―Panamitsu (talk) 10:49, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Or should there be a category for each place they've lived? ―Panamitsu (talk) 10:50, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Morena Panamitsu, I suggest that as long as someone lived somewhere for some length of time, and it's referenced in their bio, then a People from Foo category for each of those places is appropriate. Schwede66 17:48, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks, I've added that category to both of the articles. ―Panamitsu (talk) 22:19, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Jonathan R. White

Hello, Schwede66. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Jonathan R. White, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 20:06, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Just for the record: not my draft (I merely moved it) but it's now redundant anyway as the article exists in main space. Schwede66 21:02, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Lyttelton Museum

Hi I am currently working on Draft:Lyttelton Museum (I don't yet know if it's notable enough) and have noticed that in 2011 you took a picture of the building on Donald Street. After being confused about why the sources show a different building, I looked at Google Maps and realised that the 'main' building (now demolished) is that white one visible on the right. Do you happen to have a picture of that? ―Panamitsu (talk) 06:46, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

Well, I found just the right photo on Flickr, Panamitsu, but the license isn't quite right. I've asked the photographer whether they are happy to remove the NP-part from the license. Meanwhile, I've created both a Commons category and a Wikidata entry for the museum. Schwede66 08:08, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks, fingers crossed. ―Panamitsu (talk) 08:21, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
