July music

story · music · places

The July pic shows a group of orange day lilies seen last year in a Weimar park. Where I used to live in the U.S. they grew abundantly along roads in July. - My story is today about the first published composition by Arnold Schönberg which I was blessed to hear. Listen, and perhaps read what Alma Mahler (to-be-Mahler at the time, to be precise, who was present at the first performance) said, and yes that was too much for the Main page ;) -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:20, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Today's story is about a Bach cantata premiered 300 years ago OTD. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:31, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

3 July is the birthday of Leoš Janáček, and I'm happy I had a meaningful DYK in 2021. It's also the birthday of Franz Kafka, and I uploaded pics from his family's album seen in Berlin. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:33, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: You mean 3 July :-) ... Graham87 (talk) 14:07, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

You are right, of course. I didn't quite arrive in July yet, and 3 June was Kafka's day of death - with a story. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:12, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Libuše Domanínská, the subject of yesterday's story, would have turned 100 today, but I missed that ;) - Overnight, Tamara Milashkina became GA and Lando Bartolini went to the Main page. I made my story about his almost unbelievable career, from Luigi in Il tabarro in Philadelphia in 1968 (with a nod to Liberty) up to Calaf in Turandot in Beijing in 1999 ;) - 4 July is also the birthday of Brian Boulton who was a pioneer of a concise infobox in 2013. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:13, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Smuckola

Calling me a "newbie" and removing stuff from dab (tasing (disambiguation) and BLJ (disambiguation)). JoshuaAuble (talk) 18:34, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

@JoshuaAuble: I don't know why you're messaging me, but I agree with Smuckola here. If you keep up your current editing pattern, you may be blocked; it's disruptive. Graham87 (talk) 03:37, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Fried chicken

You have protected the fried chicken page and I would like to please request a move for the title of the page to be renamed as southern fried chicken. As editors are not allowed to put in historic information about types.of fried chicken as only southern fried chicken is allowed to be discussed in the article. If it was solely a page on general fried chicken there should be no country of origin as fried chicken was known to have not come solely from the USA. Thank you Sharna Sharnadd (talk) 07:49, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

@Sharnadd: I did not actually protect it; my username is only in the logs due to a page move I made. In any case, to request a page move, follow the process at requested moves. Graham87 (talk) 07:52, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
