March flowers

Thank you for having improved and supported Carmen, with Bizet's music "expressing the emotions and suffering of his characters" as Brian worded it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:12, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

I like the daisies ... we've got daffodils and camellias blooming now, and lots of wildflowers. - Dank (push to talk) 16:18, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

Here, it's just the start. I uploaded a frozen pic, DYK, - I thought of Flyer22 Frozen and the others who "have just given up". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:53, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

today (IWD): MMMM with a reference to Carmen again --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:38, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

... and today Bach's cantata composed for today, - perhaps listen. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:40, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

... and the first performance was on a Palm Sunday, and Yoninah's obituary with the beginning of Passover --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:52, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Very sorry to hear about Yoninah. - Dank (push to talk) 22:21, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Coulterella and Coulteria

Coulteria is named for Thomas Coulter, but Coulterophytum and the valid (first published) of the two Coulterellas are for John Merle Coulter. I don't know how to break up the set. Also dates for Condal are unknown. I had mistakenly given him the dates belonging to one of the artists of the expedition, which were copied after I neglected to have them deleted from whatever site I had given them to.

Sorry, thanks for catching that, I'll go fix. - Dank (push to talk) 21:24, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks much. - Dank (push to talk) 17:49, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

I think I made a mistake... the group one doesn't seem to work. The others all do, even when there are no linked pages. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:56, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

RFC on citation style

An editor switched the citation style on Russian battleship Dvenadsat Apostolov without getting consensus and I reverted him for violating WP:CITEVAR. He's now started a RFC on changing the style, but I'd appreciate it if you could keep an eye on it and maybe close it whenever appropriate as I'm not at all familiar with the workings of RFCs. If you're too busy, perhaps you could recommend somebody else?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:59, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Good to hear from you. I'd like to help. I can think of maybe 5 reasons why I'm not I don't think I'm the right person to close it, but I'll go join the discussion. Most of the active reviewers at FAC are good with CITEVAR and FAOWN ... I would think any of them would be better at closing this than me. OTOH, I've been seeing more unworkable demands pop up over the past year than I remember previously ... maybe covid has been affecting the general mood, or maybe it's something else ... and if this is one more example of things getting harder for no reason, then we may both be screwed. - Dank (push to talk) 02:21, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

I appreciate it. I'll keep your suggestion in mind once things get a little further along.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 11:39, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Sturm, just letting you know I'm still watching the RfC at Russian battleship Dvenadsat Apostolov ... doesn't seem to be blowing up yet, but if this becomes a bigger thing, let me know please. - Dank (push to talk) 14:39, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
