Howdy! IIRC, you mention being able to get coin pictures from Heritage Auctions to Commmons; would it be possible to find a higher quality picture of the Memento dollar from Heritage? The one currently on Commons and used in the article is unfortunately very worn and polished.

Additionally, the twenty or ten cent denominations (Kann 601 and Kann 602), as well as the other denominations of the Yuan Shikai coinage (Kann 659, 657, 655, 1513) would be extremely helpful.

Generalissima, I just did a search, and it would be easier for you to select the images and I will upload them.

Generalissima, if you check my uploads at commons, here, you will find all of them.

Sure. Let me know if you need anything else. I plan on upgrading the poorer images in the US coin FAs but doing this takes time and I've been busy recently.

Today is Schoenberg's 150th birthday! On display, portrayed by Egon Schiele, with music from Moses und Aron, and with two DYK hooks, one from 2010 and another from 2014; the latter, about his 40th birthday, appeared on his 140th birthday, which made me happy then and now again. - See places for a stunning sunrise, on the day Bruckner's 200th birthday was celebrated (just a few days late). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:46, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240913134600","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-20240913134600-September_music","replies":[]}}-->

Thank you today for Charles William Fremantle, about "one of the most important figures in the history of the Royal Mint. If you're looking for the Charles Fremantle for whom Fremantle, Australia is named, you've come to the wrong place, that was his uncle. But this Charles Fremantle did quite a lot, enough to distinguish himself in a family where there are an amazing number of notable people. Enjoy."! - I have Tilman Michael on the same page, whose work will be as close to your place as it was to mine, videos on my talk, under Music. Choral concert tonight - quite fitting. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:45, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240914064500","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-20240914064500-September_music","replies":[]}}-->

I am scratching my head over how to proceed with Wikipedia talk:WikiProject United States Presidents#First sentences. As you know it has been more than a week since I contributed to this discussion, and I was the last contributor (to each thread, of which there were at least two). Does it make sense for me to formally request closure, e.g. Wikipedia:Closure requests? Or, should I post a comment to clarify something or other? I don't know whether I have gotten agreement from people, or whether I have just annoyed them or scared them off.

BTW I have noticed that it is not only U.S. Presidents that have this problem. There are an awful lot of biographies out there, in which people have added similar sludge to the first sentence. A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

Thank you for The Founding Ceremony of the Nation, introduced (in 2017): about "a very well known painting (in certain parts of the world) with a fascinating history. Few paintings have been buffeted so often or so dramatically by the winds of political change while in the final analysis, remaining more or less the same."! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:33, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241001163300","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-20241001163300-TFA","replies":[]}}-->

You may remember Maryvonne Le Dizès, my story today as on 28 August.

About scheduling: I have this idea of a Bach cantata as FA for Christmas Day, which would be the 300th anniversary of the premiere, but it's not even GA yet.

Thank you for improving articles on October! - My story today is a cantata 300 years old, based on a hymn 200 years old when the cantata was composed, based on a psalm some thousand years old, - so said the 2015 DYK hook.

You said "not all of this is sourced"...but you literally removed two references.

Also, wouldn't it have been better to only remove portions instead of flippantly remove 700+B of text, that included two references? _pbp 22:35, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241006223500","author":"Purplebackpack89","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Purplebackpack89-20241006223500-Richard_Nixon...misleading_edit_summary","replies":["c-Wehwalt-20241006225500-Purplebackpack89-20241006223500"]}}-->

Well, then add back the portions that are sourced then. Also, keep in mind that this is a very very long article, and not EVERY detail about Whittier is necessary to the reader's understanding of Mr. Nixon.--Wehwalt (talk) 22:55, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241006225500","author":"Wehwalt","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Wehwalt-20241006225500-Purplebackpack89-20241006223500","replies":["c-Purplebackpack89-20241006230700-Wehwalt-20241006225500"]}}-->
