The 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) 12:29, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
Today's story is about a Bach cantata premiered 300 years ago OTD. - A meeting of two women - the occasion of the cantata - is pictured in our local church. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 16:43, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
3 July is the birthday of Leoš Janáček, and I'm happy I had a meaningful DYK in 2021 which was about a woman ;) - It's also the birthday of Franz Kafka, and I uploaded pics from his family's album seen in Berlin. Proud to have had 2 women in green in June, and the third nom is in progress. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 13:43, 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) 12:20, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
Today's story is about an outstanding violinist from Georgia, which is a sad story in the end. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 13:59, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
... that the Bolshoi Ballet's ballerina, Marina Kondratyeva, was described as "weightless"?-- Rosiestep ( talk) 13:00, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
...meaningful introduction of the subjectso I learned I had to acquiesce to that. -- Rosiestep ( talk) 15:28, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

On 3 July 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Jacob Green Jackson, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Jackson Demonstration State Forest was named in honor of American lumberman Jacob Green Jackson? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Jacob Green Jackson. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Jacob Green Jackson), 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 suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hey Rosie, hope all is well. I've just finished an article on Elizabeth Harriet Davies, aka Happy Ned. It was fun to write, lots of research to sort it out, but I think in the end I have told her fascinating/tragic story fairly well. I have never had to give an entire poem in an article and so it seemed to me that it needed to be attributed as incorporating an entire text, rather than quoting a sentence. I went to your article from the Pan-American Conference of Women and copied what you did there. I don't know who wrote the articles in the Hampshire Telegraph & Sussex Chronicle or Ally Sloper's Half Holiday, but I looked up the editors of both. Apparently the author= parameter cannot be changed for editor=, so I used author, but added (ed) after the names. Would you look at how I attributed the poems and tell me if I did it correctly? Thanks! SusunW ( talk) 15:13, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

If you by any chance have this book, can you tell me the source for its cover image? It's a lovely image of her, worth grabbing, but - although TinEye indicates it might be somewhere on JSTOR, https://www.literaryladiesguide.com/author-biography/helen-hunt-jackson/ is the only copy I can find.

I've clearly done something to break your formatting, but I can't see it. Adam Cuerden ( talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 11:31, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
I have a couple other things I should be working on soon: https://bibliotheques-specialisees.paris.fr/ark:/73873/pf0001071313/0002/v0001.simple.selectedTab=record is probably next, as, even with the slightly awkward bits to the restoration, it's such a big improvement.

Hi Rosie. I was taking a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Archaeologists after some time, and noticed a couple of old edits of yours removing entries that were also on the wikidata list (e.g. [2]). I hadn't realised that the two weren't supposed to overlap. Is there another way to highlight subjects with good potential from the (rather long) wikidata list? – Joe ( talk) 13:15, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
Hi, I see you're a member of WP:Anthropology, would you be interested in joining a sub project on oral tradition? Kowal2701 ( talk) 13:57, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
Hola Rosiestep!
I hope this message finds you well! My name is Oscar, and for the next six months, I’ll be the Wikimedian in Residence for Latin Culture and Community at Equis. I came across your name on the list of participants for the Hispanic and Latino Americans task force and would love to connect with you!
I’m really excited to boost interest in these projects, and I believe that we can achieve more together than alone. If you have any questions or ideas for collaboration, please feel free to reach out. Looking forward to working with you!
Happy editing! Oscar_. ( talk) 17:51, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

The Growth team released
Community Configuration at all Wikipedias. You can access it at Special:CommunityConfiguration
.
This new special page replaces Special:EditGrowthConfig
. For now, all Growth features can be configured using Community Configuration. Configuration for
AutoModerator (
T365046) and other features will be available in the future.
You can help with translations. The interface translation is done at Translatewiki.net. You can also help translate the documentation.
If you attend Wikimania 2024, please join us for the session about Community configuration's future!
Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module
We will add a new Community Configurable module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We have released a simple version available to beta wikis. We will conduct an A/B test at our pilot wikis using the new Metrics Platform. We still welcome community feedback on initial designs and plans, in any language at our project talk page.
Increase constructive activation on mobile
As part of the Growth team 2024/2025 Annual Plan, the Growth team will explore various ways to increase the percentage of newcomers who successfully start editing.
Editing a Wikipedia page requires too much context and patience. It means many trial and error for newcomers to contribute, meaning a steeper learning curve and potential discouraging reverts. To support a new generation of volunteers, we will increase the number and availability of smaller, structured, and more task-specific editing workflows (E.g. Edit Check and Structured Tasks). The Growth team will primarily focus on Structured Tasks, while working closely with the Editing team to ensure our work integrates well with Edit Check.
Growth team weekly updates are available on wiki (in English) if you want to know more about our day-to-day work. If you want to receive more general updates about technical activity happening across the Wikimedia movement (including Growth work), we encourage you to subscribe to Tech News.

Hi Rosiestep. I am employed by AG1, formerly Athletic Greens. I am seeking your help in updating Kat Cole's article, as a prolific Wiki editor with a specific interest in women. Kat was recently promoted to be the CEO of Athletic Greens; neither of her positions in the company are mentioned in the body of her Wiki. I know that my COI keeps me from editing directly unless I get community buy-in. My suggestion is posted on the Talk page, and I would be grateful for your review. Thank you in advance, BL for AG1 ( talk) 14:56, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
