November music

Today I remember a singer who impressed me on stage. - The image shows a wine leaf that changed colours to a bold pattern of red and greens, with the sun shining through it. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:44, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

today in memory of a friend who would have been 110, singing Brahms conducted by his son. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:16, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Quick unprotection/s needed

... At some userspace pages relating to old edits at User talk:Chris mahan and User:Chris mahan. This is an example where my own page protection from 2009 has come back to bite me. I need to update the former page because it's no longer correct, similarly to this edit of mine; see the links relating to this user at User:Nemo bis/Bug 323 revisions/positive rev user (for example this edit used to be attributed to the username "Chris_Mahan" but is now under the username "Christopher Mahan"). Also, contrary to my log message, this user's current account is no longer an admin; I made the protection long before the admin inactivity policy was implemented. I don't think the protection is necessary now anyway (and would drop it myself if I could), but it could also be dropped to extendedconfirmed or something. I don't have any need to edit User:Chris mahan, but ... it's just the principle of the thing. The user/talk page are on my watchlist so I'll keep a metaphorical eye on them. This seems like far too much of an oddball request for the regular channels. Graham87 (talk) 12:08, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @Tamzin:, as you seem to be active at the moment. Graham87 (talk) 12:12, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done :) -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|🤷) 12:19, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Tamzin: Thanks muchly. Graham87 (talk) 12:21, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'd forgotten about this Phabricator comment from 2019 and had obviously never properly taken it in to account at the time. Graham87 (talk) 12:40, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Temp

It looks like you forgot about a "temp" page back in 2016 Talk:Uranus/Archive 4/Temp Polygnotus (talk) 01:58, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Polygnotus: Ta for the note ... turns out I dropped the ball on this one, rather than forgetting about it as such. The main discussion leading to the creation of that page was Talk:Uranus/Archive 3 § Archiving (also see this AN discussion and this message on my talk page). I'll history-merge the temp page to archive 4, now that that archive exists, because that's a harmless action. Pinging the people involved who are still active: @Moonraker12 and Serendipodous:.

@Polygnotus: Lol I just found a "temporary" undeletion I never undid from 2011 at Empirical solution of the Monty Hall problem. Could some kind admin please undelete Talk:Empirical solution of the Monty Hall problem for me, since the article history is there, now in its complete form for the first time? But then I was tempted to nominate the thing for deletion under G6 ... or maybe RFD, but that felt like overkill. Graham87 (talk) 14:20, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Undeleted. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 15:02, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Woah. Wikiarcheology sounds like a complicated hobby! Polygnotus (talk) 17:25, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Polygnotus: It can be. Other times I've acciddentally changed content while doing wiki-archaeology are this situation with the disability etiquette page in 2008 (which I notice was just deleted properly) and this one at Theorem-proving in 2009 (which I also didn't know about until recently ).
