Today's TFA, Felix M. Warburg House, was written by Vami_IV and Epicgenius, introduced: "This article is about another of the great houses that once lined Fifth Avenue in New York. Specifically, this is the mansion of Felix M. Warburg, a Jewish financier who ignored fears of anti-Semitic reprisal to his decided to build himself a big Gothic manor in the middle of New York City. Although the Warburgs no longer remain, their legacy does: the museum is now the home of the Jewish Museum (Manhattan) and the building largely survives as they left it. It's a beautiful building and I hope you will all enjoy it."! - in memory -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:05, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

today's story has a pic of a woman holding her cat, a DYK of 5 years ago - the recent pics show 2 orange tip butterflies --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:30, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

today's story mentions a concert I loved to hear and a piece I loved to sing in choir, 150 years old OTD. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:18, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt I take it you weren't singing it 150 years ago :P CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 17:20, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

No, just the piece is that age - I doubt I would have liked to sing at the time when it was so difficult for women to sing in a piece like that as described in the article. - No, my actual last performance of it was in 2022, - look at "music". Before - my first if we don't count a sing-along when I got hopelessly lost in the Libera me - was in 2010, at the place pictured in my user's infobox. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:25, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Today's story is about Samuel Kummer, one of five items on the Main page - more musing on my talk --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:46, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi CaptainEek, hope you're doing well. Seeing as you blocked BerkBerk68 for Meatpuppetry and off-Wiki canvassing via Discord due to the evidence I presented, I thought this might be the right place to come. There is a similar issue now . Though my ANI thread is getting ignored, I dunno why, it's literally the same scenario as the previous Discord case about BerkBerk68 and co., though that one was reported to WP:AN instead of WP:ANI. And now I am getting criticized for putting a DNAU, god forbid I want to stop users violating our rules, especially at such large-scale (at this rate they will gain monopoly over a large section of Wiki articles). I get that the report is incredibly long and thus not very reader friendly, but I can't make it any shorter - it also took countless hours to compile those diffs. Do you have any advice on what to do? Should I just give up? HistoryofIran (talk) 17:39, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

@HistoryofIran I've mentioned this on the Arb list to see if we can't get back to you. Though I must ask: what exact rule is Jonharojjashi breaking? Merely editing in a controversial area and agreeing with folks is not a crime, even if those folks may themselves be problematic or rule breakers. I've seen the private evidence and I can't say they're smoking guns, and it doesn't look like Jonharojjashi is socking. So in one sentence, what exactly is the wrongful action? CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 19:12, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks CaptainEek. In one sentence; Meatpuppetry and off-Wiki canvassing via Discord. HistoryofIran (talk) 19:20, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

@HistoryofIran I'm not sure the evidence really shows that. Absent stronger evidence of actual coordination, I suggest that you simply continue to engage in best practices: focus on building consensus. I know that's not the answer you wanted to hear, but based on what we have, I don't think we can do more at this time, and clearly no one else felt compelled while it was at AN. If Jonharojjashi is looking to add controversial opinions, make sure there is consensus against them to allow for easy removal/reverts. CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 16:41, 28 May 2024 (UTC)reply

I see, thank you CaptainEek. HistoryofIran (talk) 20:18, 28 May 2024 (UTC)reply

Hello Please, how do I create a new Wikipedia profile for a football player?. --Paulohmedia04 (talk) 21:21, 1 June 2024 (UTC)reply

@Paulohmedia04 You should use WP:AFC. But you'll have to make sure the player meets WP:NFOOTY, as we don't write about every player. CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 21:23, 1 June 2024 (UTC)reply

Hello,

I am inquiring about the food program to be delivered to my home. How do you qualify?

Thank you, Sandra --Mssandiva (talk) 16:36, 17 June 2024 (UTC)reply

@Mssandiva This is Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. We are not a forum to help folks, sorry. But you can try googling your question. CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 04:25, 18 June 2024 (UTC)reply

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Mutual Life Insurance Co. of New York v. Hillmon, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Exhumed.

Do you know how i could find some information about it? for example population pre war or something like that.Get back to me if and when you can, thanks! --3ZVOSVOCBOE6028 (talk) 02:03, 19 June 2024 (UTC)reply

@3ZVOSVOCBOE6028 Gosh, I don't really know. You should try asking at WP:Wikiproject Ukraine. CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 21:51, 19 June 2024 (UTC)reply

I was going to translate an article from Bengali Wikipedia to english. The references used in bn wiki are from Bengali language journal or website.should i have to look out for English articles or use those references from bn wiki.
--kemel49^{(connect)(contri)} 21:37, 21 June 2024 (UTC)reply

@KEmel49 You can use non-english language sources, though it can be helpful to provide translations in the footnotes. And if you can find English language sources to supplement that will help. CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 21:41, 21 June 2024 (UTC)reply

@CaptainEek, what if i use {{cite web}} template's language parameter.i was thinking about that but the problem is that the source will still remains as it is
--kemel49^{(connect)(contri)} 21:45, 21 June 2024 (UTC)reply

@KEmel49 Yeah thats fine. What I meant was you can use the quote parameter to provide a translated quote from the source. CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 21:50, 21 June 2024 (UTC)reply

Shall try this.Thanks captain ⛵
