Today's TFA, Felix M. Warburg House, was written by Vami_IV and Epicgenius, introduced: "This article is about another of the great houses that once lined Fifth Avenue in New York. Specifically, this is the mansion of Felix M. Warburg, a Jewish financier who ignored fears of anti-Semitic reprisal to his decided to build himself a big Gothic manor in the middle of New York City. Although the Warburgs no longer remain, their legacy does: the museum is now the home of the Jewish Museum (Manhattan) and the building largely survives as they left it. It's a beautiful building and I hope you will all enjoy it."! - in memory -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:07, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks Gerda. In some ways every building is a memory. The community in Chestertown is grappling with that as the armory in town is going to be knocked down soon. It is important to preserve those memories even if the building is no longer standing -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 18:07, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yes. The article Vami and I worked most closely together is also a building, scheduled for TFA on 1 June. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:59, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- 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) 14:54, 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) 14:45, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- 29 May 1913: The Rite of Spring - today's story, actually something I saw at that place in a revival. - Do you remember the infobox discussion 100 years after the premiere, often mentioned in the arbcase? - Today a user who returned after several years said that nothing changed. Would you agree? I wouldn't ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:48, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you today for your share of Boundary Fire (2017), "about another Arizona wildfire from 2017, a busy year. In this particular fire, high winds, high temperatures, low/no humidity, and the crispy remnants of a fire 17 years before were combined by lightning into a blaze that scorched almost 18,000 acres of the Coconino National Forest. Also, this is another really short article at 828 words as of time of writing."! - See my talk today, with 5 items on the Main page, including the TFA that I nominated. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:59, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Lake Estancia was a prehistoric body of water in the Estancia Valley, in the center of the U.S. state of New Mexico. Mostly fed by creek and groundwater from the Manzano Mountains, the lake had diverse fauna, including cutthroat trout. It appears to have formed when a river system broke up. It reached a maximum water level (highstand) presumably during the Illinoian glaciation and subsequently fluctuated between a desiccated basin and fuller stages. Wind-driven erosion has excavated depressions in the former lakebed that are in part filled with playas (dry lake beds). The lake was one of several pluvial lakes in southwestern North America that developed during the late Pleistocene. Their formation has been variously attributed to decreased temperatures during the ice age and increased precipitation; a shutdown of the thermohaline circulation and the Laurentide Ice Sheet altered atmospheric circulation patterns and increased precipitation in the region. The lake has yielded a good paleoclimatic record. This map shows the shoreline of Lake Estancia at three different periods: early Estancia (1,939 m / 6,362 ft above sea level), late Estancia (1,897 m / 6,224 ft), and "Lake Willard" (1,870 m / 6,135 ft). Present-day populated places, county boundaries and roads are overlaid on the map for identification. Map credit: Tom Fish

Franz Kafka died 100 years ago OTD, hence the story. I uploaded a few pics from the visit of Graham87. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:28, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
Today's story is about a tune used by Bach and Mozart. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:58, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
Today is "the day" for James Joyce, also for Bach's fourth chorale cantata (and why does it come before the third?) - the new pics have a mammal I had to look up. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:36, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
Block of Evrik
Could you make a post on his talk page explaining the situation? I don't see anything except a short block summary with no link to relevant discussion. I've occasionally interacted with this user and I thought they were an editor in good standing, and would like to learn more about what happened. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:02, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Piotrus: The block is based on CU data and I cannot reveal additional details under the WMF's current privacy policy. What I can say is that their behavior fell under several of the prohibited actions enumerated at WP:BADSOCK. -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 01:36, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- I appreciate your reply, but I find the lack of transparency worrisome. To be clear, I am not criticizing you personally, but what checks and balances exist that can be verified by the community that such a block is justified? How is what happening here different from a secret trial? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:38, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- Evrik can appeal his block on his talk page to any checkuser. UTRS is also an option if he would like to appeal in private. If his appeal is denied he can appeal to the arbitration committee. If a user feels that I misused the checkuser tool they can ask either the arbitration committee or the global Ombuds commission to investigate. -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 13:22, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
