Bach's cantata was performed 300 years ago, by occasion. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:35, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: very nice! Thanks. It's a long weekend here with a public holiday tomorrow, we did a little trip up to Lincoln — Amakuru (talk) 20:24, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you! - Today's main page has again memories of three people who died, for two just the name and for the third an image (great!) coupled with a little bit from her life which seems too little for my taste. What do you think? - A friend of mine sang in Verdi's Requiem at Trinity Church, - you can watch the lifestream (Verdi about 30 minutes into it). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:47, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
- The hook for Barbara Frischmuth was improved. - Nothing new: another RD article is on his last day on WP:ITNN, a neglected composer to make it worse, and I'm travelling. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:28, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
- Recommended reading today is the one: Christfried Schmidt, a story about patience. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:12, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news
- Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
- An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
- An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.
Miscellaneous
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2025 to reduce the backlog of articles in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!
