From vacation, so missed some interesting stories, such as about Jubilant Sykes. Today about Richie Beirach, jazz pianist. Which of his music samples would you have chosen? -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:35, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Giants today, RD Helmuth Rilling and OTD Friedrich Cerha 100. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:51, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Today something new: a 100th birthday of someone alive, György Kurtág! In 2004 I was there when he and his wife played for the Rheingau Musik Festival where he was the featured composer. They played as the 2019 DYK said, on an upright piano, - listen, the last piece was the same. - More pics uploaded, enjoy. And Rosiestep shows the latest cat! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:38, 19 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

News and updates for administrators from the past month (January 2026).

Arbitration

• Due to the result of a recent motion, a rough consensus of administrators at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard may impose an expanded topic ban on Israel, Israelis, Jews, Judaism, Palestine, Palestinians, Islam, and/or Arabs, if an editor's Arab-Israeli conflict topic ban is determined to be insufficient to prevent disruption. At least one diff per area expanded into should be cited.

Miscellaneous

• Voting in the 2026 Steward elections started on 06 February 2026 at 14:00 (UTC) and will end on 27 February 2026 at 14:00 (UTC). The confirmation process for current stewards is being held in parallel. You can automatically check your eligibility to vote.

Dear Dan, sorry to bother you. I just discovered that you were assigned to be my mentor three years ago. I'd like to change the language on over 100 entries. I've made a start with this one entry: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mqedin. It's in a language mostly known as Seediq (as in the reference work cited), but the creator of the page called it Taroko. Taroko is a Japanese transliteration that hasn't been used for many decades. How could I change the language on all these entries?

Also, I'd like to upload a bunch of words in the language, each identified by dialect. I've added that mqedin is in the Tgdaya dialect.

Thanks! Shidailun73 (talk) 06:06, 19 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
