Hi @ Aza24. Your work on Euclid is great, thanks. The Wayback Machine (and Internet Archive more generally) is also a wonderful resource, one of the best things on the internet. However, it is in my opinion effectively spam (i.e. unhelpful to readers and unwarranted marketing for an unrelated service) to put an IA backup of every URL on Wikipedia, including living links, and it seems particularly spammy to include a large number of links to pages where the IA backup doesn't actually include the content of the page. It's more than sufficient for Wikipedia authors to tell the IA to back up every page linked from Wikipedia articles, but leave the Wikipedia page per se alone, only explicitly adding archive links to address actual or likely link rot.
The problem I have with such IA links is similar to my problem with S2CID spam added by Citation Bot, which nobody really ever seems to defend when it's challenged bu also nobody is willing to remove site-wide. I haven't had the enough interest/energy/time to try to make a site-wide RFC about either Internet Archive spam or S2CID spam, but I try to push back on it locally on individual pages.
I find it distasteful for other websites, even if they happen to be non-profits with publicly beneficial missions, to abuse Wikipedia for their own self promotion, and to be honest I think there should be some requirement to get large-scale consensus from Wikipedians before external organizations should be able to do this kind of large-scale spamming, instead of just going ahead with it and hoping nobody complains.

Hi Aza24! I noticed that this GT promotion with Novem Linguae's bot didn't seem to work (although I can't work out why)—apologies if either of you knew this already and were working on it. — Bilorv ( talk) 18:16, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
The Core Contest—Wikipedia's most exciting contest—returns again this year from April 15 to May 31. The goal: to improve vital or other core articles, with a focus on those in the worst state of disrepair. Editing can be done individually, but in the past groups have also successfully competed. There is £300 of prize money divided among editors who provide the "best additive encyclopedic value". Signups are open now. Cheers from the judges, Femke, Casliber, Aza24. – Aza24 (talk) 02:20, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
If you wish to start or stop receiving news about The Core Contest, please add or remove yourself from the delivery list.
Hi, I am looking for reviewers of this FAC, which has been struggling to attract attention, and I want to make sure it stays afloat. Any chance of some assistance? Regards, Amitchell125 ( talk) 21:26, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for support for Copland, and please keep watching. I think the key to the revert may be found on Vivaldi. I passed a note on Classical music, to little result. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 20:11, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
I like to see Appalachian Spring on the Main page today (not by me as you will know, just interested and reviewed), and I also made it my story. - How do you like the statue (look up places) - I was undecided so show three versions ;) -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 16:10, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

On 22 April 2024, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Andrew Davis (conductor), which you updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. Spencer T• C 19:28, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi, Aza! I am trying to get the sfnm template to work with individual harvid cites, but can't seem to figure it out. Any thoughts? ~ Silence of Järvenpää 20:37, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi Aza, I just wanted to ask if there was a problem with the promotion of the Emirates Cup topic? The discussion is closed but it hasn't been archived, nor has the delisted topic been updated. Thanks in advance :) Idiosincrático ( talk) 09:12, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

On the bicentenary of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, I remember our recent uplifting choral concert in pictures, on my user page and in my concerts (leading to the two at the church's article). -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:10, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
Today is the Feast of the Ascension for which Bach composed his oratorio, - perhaps watch a bit how the closing movement was performed in Bach's church. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:40, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
Magdalena Hinterdobler is on the Main page today, together with an opera that reviewers deemed not interesting and too obscure for our general readers. The soprano thought differently, - listen and see. - Also on the Main page: a TFA by sadly missed Vami_IV. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 10:12, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
did you listen and see? - 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) 14:29, 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) 14:16, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
Hello Aza24:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long
Good Article Edit-a-thon event in June 2024!
Running from June 1 to 30, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Going Back in Time! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 20 centuries by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!
