Today is the centenary of King Roger, an opera by Karol Szymanowski who is pictured on the main page, - my story with the trailer of the performance I saw. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:13, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

Doing well! Staying busy with work but just got back from a vacation in Spain recently, it was a good time. Now back in the US and just trying to get through the grueling heat. Hope you've been doing well too! DanCherek (talk) 03:03, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

You're invited to the Mentorship noticeboard
editHi, Dan. You are cordially invited to the brand new Wikipedia:Mentorship noticeboard. I get the impression sometimes that we mentors are each toiling in our own cubbyhole or hamster wheel, quietly answering mentee questions with little to no interaction with other mentors. I think we have a lot to share and learn from each other, and I know it will make me feel better just having the opportunity to interact with you and other mentors there, and I hope it will for you, too. Looking forward to hearing your feedback. Please take the § Survey when you get there! Mathglot (talk) 00:26, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
Articles for Creation backlog drive
edit
Hello DanCherek:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in August!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than a month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 August 2026 through 31 August 2026.
You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 5000 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:37, 19 July 2026 (UTC)
- If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page.
