I love when I see a TFA and immediately know who wrote it. Great job on an interesting and challenging topic! Hope you are doing well. DanCherek (talk) 05:28, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the note, @DanCherek! I'm well, just about fully recovered from a surgery last week and hoping to get some more serious editing in in a couple months (been quite busy irl recently). Extending the same wishes to you and yours. Eddie891 Talk Work 19:42, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, glad to hear you're recovering well! DanCherek (talk) 21:37, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for the TFA, introduced: "After several months of deep diving and a couple years of tinkering, I am reasonably sure that this is the most comprehensive account that exists anywhere of Whitman's lectures."! - My story today is about a piece composed for the Second Sunday after Easter 300 years ago, and I just returned from a (long) opera about the same age. Best wishes for recovery! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:07, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- I went to the Easter service at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City just before my surgery, and the service reminded me of you and your work, Gerda. There was a haunting soprano saxophone solo which I reckon will stay with me for a while. It was beautiful to see the flowers, hear the music, and worship with several thousand others in the same building. I hope all is well. Eddie891 Talk Work 01:10, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

--Lajmmoore (talk 06:16, 28 April 2024 (UTC) via MassMessaging
Hello Eddie891, I have just now created this account but did some editing on Wiki around 5 years ago. I use the encyclopedia often but am retired and my usage is leisurely. I was reading the Human Migration page. While there's a lot of good information, the page needs a major revamping. There are contradictions between the sections, the logic is weak, and there's a jumble of conflicting definitions. The result is confusion. I checked the 'talk' on this page, and found that back in 2015/17 someone else made similar points. They suggested a "Merge". I suggest a reshuffle and cutting. The topic needs to be precisely defined, logical connection between sections made, and then the links to other Wiki pages clearly specified. The way it stands now, this page tries to do everything and ends up doing nothing. This is an important topic. Please have a look at it. I could help revise but it would mean a total reshuffle. Thanks for you consideration on this, Jansan72 --Jansan72 (talk) 17:30, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, @Jansan72, thanks for the note. Unfortunately, I don't have the bandwidth to work on this article at the moment. I'd suggest leaving a note like this on the talk page and hoping someone picks it up as your best option. Cheers, Eddie891 Talk Work 15:45, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Eddie,
- Thanks for your suggestion. I will do it.

Ayesha E Page[edit]
I am looking into creating a wikipage for Ayesha Erotica and see you attempted and either you deleted it or it was deleted. Just wanted any tips or advice and if you want to help hit me up. Daneyp00 (talk) 19:19, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, @Daneyp00. The consensus at the last discussion (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ayesha Erotica (2nd nomination)) was that this topic did not meet our notability requirements, namely that the subject meets one of the criteria listed at WP:MUSICBIO. Before doing anything else, I would make sure that you feel you can establish how the subject does. Eddie891 Talk Work 13:57, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – May 2024[edit]
News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2024).
Guideline and policy news
- Phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship review has concluded.

Other successful proposals, such as creating a reminder of civility norms (2), will undergo further refinement in Phase II. Proposals passed on a trial basis will be discussed in Phase II, after their trials conclude. Further details on specific proposals can be found in the full report.
Technical news

Arbitration
- The arbitration case Conflict of interest management has been closed.
Miscellaneous
