Thank you. You fixed the first 4 citations. I did the rest (I think). I'd really appreciate it if you could go back and check I got it right? Just let me know if I didn't and I can go read up on it more and find out where/what I'm getting wrong. I copied it from another article so I easily made a mistake. ☕ Antiqueight ^chatter 14:07, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

You are welcome. I was preparing a response on your talk page while you were doing that so let's continue there. Yes I will look again at the article now. --Mirokado (talk) 14:10, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Dead link on AutoKey

I noticed you marked the AutoKey website as a dead link — I reverted this change, since the site appears to still be up and running. LFaraone 18:48, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

I get "404. That's an error." --Mirokado (talk) 16:27, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Reversion

Please, do not revert my work. It is self-explanatory in the least that I am redirecting bibliographies, not to mention that there was seperate Anne McCaffrey bibliography before I cut the material, that is dublicating in the main article. It is not very difficult to understand, you have experience enought to know which is vandalism and which is obvious hard work. Please, do not revert me anymore, because I am trying for the best.

Kindest regards:The Mad Hatter (talk)

I fully support Mirokado's reversion. These splits are not "for the best"; they go against guidelines, which makes them controversial to say the least. —swpb^T 20:04, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

Invitation to a virtual editathon on Women in Music

WikiProject Women in Red/The World Contest

Hi. Thankyou for your participation in the challenge series or/and contests. In November The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There will be over $4000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. If this would appeal to you and you think you'd be interested in contributing new articles on women during this month for your region or wherever please sign up in the participants section. The articles done may also count towards the ongoing challenge. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate and raise money to buy books about women for others to use, this is also fine. Help would also be appreciated in drawing up the lists of missing articles. If you think of any missing articles please add them to the sub lists by continent at Missing articles. Thankyou, and if taking part, good luck!♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:30, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Sylvia Plath

Hi Mirokado. I wonder were you aware of this There was also this one, of course, although no longer available. And what do you make of this one? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:53, 12 July 2017 (UTC) p.s there's also this from 1961, which must be BBC, but has no credits.

Hello Martin! Thank you for those links, very interesting. We could use the BBC one, except that they sometimes remove the content which makes it a bit pointless. There are also some other Plath recordings on YouTube, but I'm not convinced that the uploaders have the appropriate rights to any of them, so we can't use those either. One is clearly from a record, so it is worth looking for reference numbers etc (I found something for Anna Bloch for example). --Mirokado (talk) 20:20, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

The fact that the first one (for the BBC World Service) has been there for over four years bodes well for its permanence, I think. Many articles get External links that fade out after a few years, or months even, so it's not a big deal. I agree with you about the others. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:59, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. We could also transcribe a short quote for anything the article relies on if we use it. --Mirokado (talk) 21:17, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I was looking at the Plath article today and see if has got GA status. Do you know who nominated it? Thanks Anna (talk) 14:54, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello Anna, it looks as if it was Matt723star (diff). --Mirokado (talk) 20:18, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

Upcoming changes to wikitext parsing

Hello,

There will be some changes to the way wikitext is parsed during the next few weeks. It will affect all namespaces. You can see a list of pages that may display incorrectly at Special:LintErrors. Since most of the easy problems have already been solved at the English Wikipedia, I am specifically contacting tech-savvy editors such as yourself with this one-time message, in the hope that you will be able to investigate the remaining high-priority pages during the next month.

There are approximately 10,000 articles (and many more non-article pages) with high-priority errors. The most important ones are the articles with misnested tags and table problems. Some of these involve templates, such as infoboxes, or the way the template is used in the article. In some cases, the "error" is a minor, unimportant difference in the visual appearance. In other cases, the results are undesirable. You can see a before-and-after comparison of any article by adding ?action=parsermigration-edit to the end of a link, like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Foss?action=parsermigration-edit (which shows a difference in how {{infobox ship}} is parsed).

If you are interested in helping with this project, please see Wikipedia:Linter. There are also some basic instructions (and links to even more information) at https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2018-April/001836.html You can also leave a note at WT:Linter if you have questions.

Thank you for all the good things you do for the English Wikipedia. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 21:18, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the notification. I've fixed a few and will continue to look from time to time. --Mirokado (talk) 00:21, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Hey buddy!

Long time no see. EEng 00:03, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello EEng! I've been less visibly active recently, been working more on Commons including writing a "little script" to help maintain some categories. Just recently though I have been having fun editing the longest article ever on Wikipedia, and quite right too. But don't worry, your talk page is still longer!

Where the devs will need to start worrying about limits and system performance will be Lies told by Donald Trump and People dead because Donald Trump's a sociopathic moron. (That last one could be split into subarticles -- Americans, Kurds, children, etc.) EEng 23:22, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

Endorsements

Hello Mirokada! Please see what constitutes an endorsement. The reference you keep adding just shows financial support which is not an endorsement. If the article is also for other names, you can add it there too or delete the other names if they are not an endorsement, but do not continually add back someone who is not sourced as being an endorsement. Thank you! Lima Bean Farmer (talk) 23:43, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi User:Lima Bean Farmer! I have not "added" the reference: it is attached to five entries in the list. If you remove the entry with the definition of the reference, you create a cite error for the other four entries. Therefore you either need to move the reference definition to the next entry which uses it, or remove those other entries too. I don't at all mind which you do, but you should not make edits which leave errors in the article, and you should of course check every entry which uses a reference you want to remove. --Mirokado (talk) 23:51, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi there, Mirokado. My name is PintoBean04 and I loved editing the Joe Biden endorsement page and have recently found multiple endorsements of expressions of support by numerous politicians but have not been able to add them since Biden’s endorsement page was locked. However, I see that you have been able to edit it since it has been locked. I was just wondering if you knew any way that I could access and edit it by getting special permission. How could I do this? How are you able to edit it even though it is locked? If you go through my edit history you will see that I’ve been responsible on his page and added relevant endorsements. I would just really like to get back to do this as I greatly enjoyed editing that page. Thanks! PintoBean04 (talk) 18:36, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello @PintoBean04:. The page is WP:SEMI-protected, so as far as I can see you should still be able to edit it (your account is at least four days old and you have made at least ten edits to Wikipedia). If you have tried to edit it and still have a problem, I suggest you contact GorillaWarfare, she is the admin who set the protection and may be able to help further. I am also enjoying editing the page, even though I only arrived there to fix a typo! --Mirokado (talk) 07:57, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

What happened

I created an account like you said and I still can not edit the Biden page after 10 edits. You said I’d be able to, so why is it still locked? Just Piping In (talk) 07:23, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Arr, I forgot to mention the new account must be four days old, too. Sorry! --Mirokado (talk) 12:55, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

No worries. Gives me something to look forward to in 3 days! Quick question, how would I get more people to weigh in on evo morales? Do I just need to wait for others to come around and hope they comment? Thanks! Just Piping In (talk) 16:00, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

I happened to be passing by. If you're talking about Joe Biden, it's under WP:Extended confirmed protection, which requires 30 days and 500 edits. Sorry, it's because of election-related disruption. EEng 21:10, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the comment, we are talking about List of Joe Biden 2020 presidential campaign endorsements which has normal semi protection. --Mirokado (talk) 22:33, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

We have already tried pinging a list of (then) recently active editors, and nobody responded. When doing that it is important to choose the list in some objective way (I just chose the n most recent editors). Now that the discussion has started, you should not add him yourself unless there is a clear consensus to do so. Please look through Wikipedia:Consensus. One thing to consider would be Wikipedia:Third opinion, that worked very well the only time I was involved with it. --Mirokado (talk) 23:27, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Emily W. Murphy

Hi Mirokado, I'm just letting recent contributors to Emily W. Murphy know that I've dropped the protection level to extended confirmed and added a consensus required restriction. Please see my explanation on the talk page for more information. Thanks, Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 12:52, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Peer review request

I so much appreciate the your help with John Neal (writer)'s FAN, I wonder if you would take interest in the active peer review of the article for Tobias Watkins, who was a good friend of Neal's. I created the article a few months ago and have been able to improve it some since, mostly from comments I've received via the current peer review. It's much shorter than Neal's article, so not so much of a commitment to review. If you had the desire and time to look it over, I would very much appreciate it! --Dugan Murphy (talk) 02:49, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

You're welcome. I will have a look, probably not until next weekend though. --Mirokado (talk) 02:58, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Thanks! Looking forward to seeing what you find. --Dugan Murphy (talk) 17:43, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Request for input on move request discussion

Hi, Mirokado! Thank you again for your work on the John Neal (writer) FAN. I have initiated a move request to John Neal and it could use more input. Could you check it out if you have time? I thought I would ask given your familiarity with the article from the nomination process. --Dugan Murphy (talk) 18:45, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

John Neal TFA

Further to your suggestion at FAC, the article on John Neal (writer) is scheduled to appear on the main page on 20 January. Thank you for the idea. Gog the Mild (talk) 13:13, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Thank you @Gog the Mild: for the notification and for scheduling the article. --Mirokado (talk) 23:42, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

With hindsight it seems even more appropriate, and it attracted a fair few views. Gog the Mild (talk) 11:59, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Old revision

Hi. In this edit, I think you brought back data from an old revision by mistake? It's good that you informed other editors about the Twitter account that was suspended for some reason. I had not noticed it until a day after you did that edit, when I saw that the data for several other countries had an access date of February 1. LSGH (talk) (contributions) 00:49, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

That edit certainly went wrong somehow, I only intended to change the Niger data and as far as I remember, the diffs I checked before saving only showed those changes. What I probably did not do was to check the diffs again after I had saved. Sorry about that and thank you for checking. --Mirokado (talk) 09:52, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

I just added a bit more about the hymn in the cantata article, - what do you think? Eventually the hymn article should also grow ... --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:44, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Very nice, the section is informative enough and stands on its own. Anyone interested can follow links for more details. --Mirokado (talk) 10:57, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Today, we have a DYK about Wilhelm Knabe, who stood up for future with the striking school children when he was in his 90s, - a model, - see here. - Further down on the page, there are conversations about the current arb case request - I feel I have to stay away - in a nutshell: "... will not improve kindness, nor any article". - Yesterday, I made sure on a hike that the flowers are actually blooming ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:30, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

For better pic presentation ;) - Sigh, I was out, and returning find a block and new arguments. I try hard to stay out. Random Canadian said about the continuo pic that Bach had to correct some because the scribe was inexperienced, not as good as the other - which makes a lot of sense. Moving the pic to where the first performance is mentioned makes sense. Go ahead. Need sleep, which makes not interfering easier. - I miss Yoninah (and these concerns seems to matter so little). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:17, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Done that. Having lit the blue touch paper, I will now retire! --Mirokado (talk) 23:49, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for another good observation there! - If you had the time I'd love you to look with those eyes at BWV 4 before it goes to the Main page on Sunday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:20, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Started, more later I hope.

• In an FA review, I would have asked for more details about the different modes used in the movements. I think these must be a contribution to variety despite everything being in E minor (just one later mention of B-Dorian in section Versus 4).

--Mirokado (talk) 22:54, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

I've read through it all now. A couple more comments:

• There is no reference for section Performances in Germany. Cite AV media for the live recording would suffice if there is nothing else.
• Citation Wolff 1997 is unused.

A very nice article. Thank you Gerda for giving me the opportunity to do something special for Easter. --Mirokado (talk) 19:20, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you! I'll see what I can do tomorrow. About the modes, the problem is that if sources don't mention it, what can we say? The variation is rather in style than in mode, as far as I can tell. - Those (2016) were the days when Brian Boulton did the scheduling, DYK? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:24, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Tomorrow's TFA will be The Rite of Spring, - could you check that as well. Written by Brian, it's probably perfect. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:45, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

I read through that, very interesting. I might have raised some questions during FAC, but there is nothing that I think needs changing now. --Mirokado (talk) 23:14, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Great, did you say so there? Because it's endangered by too little support ... --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:41, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Ah, I was replying about The Rite of Spring. I've not yet looked at The Thankful Poor, honestly not sure how much time I will have this week. --Mirokado (talk) 11:44, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

I see, and thank you for helping the prayer anyway! FAC for Rite of Spring was long ago. On this day in 1742, He was despised was performed for the first time, and when I wrote it in 2012 (invited to my first FA!), I didn't only think of Jesus. Andreas Scholl sang that for us, - you are invited to a Baroque stroll. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:38, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Today: an article about other music significant in my life, Bach's motet Jesu, mein Freude, with a long way from the start in 2006 to the Main page today ;) - Perhaps check it out with FAC in mind? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:05, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Another interesting article!

• Please explain what "figural music" is: de:Figuralmusik is not clear enough. Perhaps add a note?
• Clarify somewhere whether the single soprano parts in three movements are sung by all the sopranos or only half of them?
• The two numbering schemes in §Structure and scoring are a bit confusing: add movement numbers in italics to the diagram?
• clarify "rhetorical homophony"? Homophony is now linked, what does "rhetorical" signify in this context?

--Mirokado (talk) 20:57, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you, you read fast! - You may have noticed that the article had the craziest of histories ;) - see talk page. There should be an English article instead of the ill link, I know nothing about the last, just think "rhetorical" is a normal word which should be outside the quotation marks (unless someone quoted it). Not sure what "single sopranos" mean. Bach didn't say (nor perhaps care) if there was more than one singer on any part, and some conductors decide no, (OVPP). Will have to check out the numbering. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:20, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

OK, the numbers: in the diagram (not be me), we have the Paul reading in a sequence, 5 yellow boxes, and the six stanzas from the chorale with numbers in purple. In the movements, we have the sequence of all 11, alternating. We could give the scripture lines some pale yellow background? We could highlight by bolding the stanza number, to correspond to the diagram? Other ideas? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:27, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

I tried both in the article, please check. I think I known now what you mean: sometimes two sopranos, sometimes one. When I sang it in choirs, all sopranos would sing when only one part, nobody silent. But that's conductor's decision, no article topic. In different choirs: when the sopranos are split but the altos not, the conductor would have most sopranos sing soprano I, and ask some altos to sing soprano II. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:58, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

more memories on the Main page today, Psalm 115 thinking of Yoninah, Christa Ludwig and Milva, - voices that made the Earth a better place. Sad that the psalm hook didn't appear on Earth Day as planned, but better pictured and late than going unnoticed ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:09, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Category: Author templates

Hi, Mirokado. See my recent revision[1] of Category:Writer navigational boxes.

First and FYI, this fixes a recent problem, breaking messagebox links when categories are renamed.

Second, I inserted See also: {{Infobox writer}} because this will benefit from some cross-reference. Does the messagebox mean that some (categories of) infobox should be displayed as subcategories of Category:Author templates?

--sorted as " " or "*" if i understand correctly.

For example? a hypothetical category whose members are analogous to Template:Infobox Discworld novel but defined by author rather than series? --P64 (talk) 19:48, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

It looks as if some other categories could be included as subcategories here. Not the sort of issue for snap judgements!

Sorting as " " is for the main article(s) corresponding to the category. Sorting by "*" is for articles listing category members and similar. There are a few other conventional key letters.

If an author has written (for example) a few individual books and several substantial series, there could be a category for the author containing the individual book articles and subcats of that for each series. If the author has only written a single series then I guess it should be one or the other.

It is, I think, generally OK to be bold with changes involving only a few pages, but redesigning category trees can involve changing hundreds of pages systematically. Firstly, this must be discussed thoroughly and formally in advance and secondly it is often possible to ask a bot to do systematic changes.

interjection I infer that's been done to replace some "templates" categories with "navigational boxes" categories.

The right place to discuss these matters is WP:CfD, which also has explanatory notes, although of course you can discuss ideas in advance elsewhere too. --Mirokado (talk) 23:27, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

At Writer navigational boxes the message box suggests to me that some infobox categories should be somehow included.

> "If subcategories exist for other types of templates (e.g. infoboxes) that relate to this topic, they should appear at the start of the subcategories listing immediately below this messagebox."

What does that mean?

Two years later. The January 2013 move/rename from "Author templates" to "Writer navigational boxes" eliminates the suggestion that author templates other than writer navigational boxes :-) should be contained here. The message has been revised, too, so that "See also: Template: Infobox writer" no longer seem anomalous.

Just now I fixed the page.[2] This shows that we still have the problem I observed and reported in the first line above: category moves ruin some category documentation. I suppose there is no tool, a la "What links here?", to find all of the instructions that need update following a move.

I'm happy to call this one "not my department".

Resolved

I won't actually change the tree myself, but re-cat specific author templates from template categories Books or Book series to Authors. For example, {{Works by Anne McCaffrey}}. If there were a navbox rather than category Dragonriders of Pern, that would properly be a Book series template. --P64 (talk) 14:30, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Refs or Notes nested in [ref]s or {efn}s

Hi, Mirokado. Happy New Year.

Visit List of winners of the National Book Award#Notes and you may instantly grasp what I have tried to do using {notelist}, {reflist}, and so on. Notes a–j all display the intended superscripts for their source Refs 3, 4, 22.

Clicking and hovering on those superscripts works as intended for 22 only, evidently because that one is not used in the article body, only in the Notes section. Evidently for the same reason, Ref 22 links back to its "calls"(?) in Notes.

Superscripts 3 and 4, although displayed in the Notes, do not function there, evidently because they are used in the article body. Refs 3 and 4 link back to their "calls" in the article body.

Ref 22 is not called prior to the Notes section --not used except as nested in {efn}-- only as a test, from which I have learned something but not enough to go further. I have also learned something, but not enough, from the template {{efn}}, {{notelist}}, and {{reflist}} documentation. At that point I chose to insert {{underconstruction}}, save the page, and write to you!

--P64 (talk) 20:41, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

At User talk: Green Cardamom I have notified the other frequent maintainer of U.S. National Book Awards pages.

I imagine another approach that works so long as all of the hoped-for nested notes or refs concern Split awards. That is to use within sections 1–8 handmade superscript links to section 9, Split awards, and use ordinary {efn}s and [ref]s in that section, with a single {notelist} in section 10, Notes, that does not include and refs.

I know your nesting full citations for Dragonholder and other sources within the Anne McCaffrey#References, but I don't readily see how that technique may work here.

Special:WantedTemplates

Hi! Would it be possible for you to add

/* <nowiki> */

to the top and

/* </nowiki> */

to the bottom of User:Mirokado/Development/Advisor.js? By putting these tags inside of javascript comments, it won't impact the functionality of your script, but it will keep the backend software from transcluding Template:Futher. You will know if the tags worked if Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Futher no longer shows your javascript page. By fixing these, we can keep the number of entries in Special:WantedTemplates to a minimum. Thank you in advance for your help! Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 23:17, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Thank you Gerda. We are saving the world, one edit at a time! --Mirokado (talk) 21:59, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

It's now four years that I noticed that ;) - What do you think about the latest edits on Jean Sibelius? I think consensus can change. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:58, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

See my talk today, - it's rare that a person is pictured when a dream comes true, and that the picture is shown on the Main page on a meaningful day. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:03, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

This FAC is the second try of a user whose first was archived for lack of interest. Can I interest you, - remembering the good comments in my recent FAC? Different music from what we normally do, but I believe looking at other creative work can be good for us, + heartbreaking story. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:35, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello Gerda. I always look forward to this reminder: it coincides with the start of summer. I won't have any time to look at Shoot... for the next few days, but I will have it at the top of my little list, hopefully in a week or so. --22:27, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the welcome. One reviewer was critical, and the nominator left the boat. I don't know enough about the subject to rescue. As if we hadn't heartbreak enough ... --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:47, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

June thanks

Some impressions of places, flowers and music for you, with thanks for your efforts for the Signpost obit that finally appeared. Yesterday (see bottom there), I had the chance to take one pic of three people "with an article" yesterday, - hasn't happened before. Sibelius and Mendelssohn's Reformation were the lovely occasion, - listening to the first live concert this year, on livestream in today's version (- president's speech, + another Mendelssohn). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:55, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

Do you think you could go over BWV 227, for the prose, if not for a FAC review? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:18, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Ha! I have already started to look at it, perhaps some comments tomorrow. --Mirokado (talk) 16:27, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Nothing today, I hope over the weekend... --Mirokado (talk) 21:18, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

Thank you! 2022 began happily with vacation. I uploaded images but stopped at 22 January - click on songs. 30 January means 10 years of Precious. It's also the birthday of a friend, - I'm so happy I mentioned his DYK on his 90th birthday when he was still alive. I have a great singer on DYK whom I heard, Elena Guseva, and wait for a Recent death appearance of Georg Christoph Biller whom I saw in action. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your help with Bach's works and his No. 1 especially today! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:10, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello Gerda. You are welcome! I like the way some of the articles you work on have a special meaning for you. Similar for me, for example I started Mina F. Miller many years after I heard a concert of Carl Nielsen's piano music she gave in London. --Mirokado (talk) 13:20, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Interesting. BWV 56 for me, FAC but a bit premature, - I wanted to do something on Bach's birthday. Never sang BWV 1, believe it or not, but for the other see here. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:18, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

ps: as I see it's not obvious: the cantata was coupled with the Mozart Requiem --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:20, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

@Mirokado: What was meant was that Phoenix newspapers refer to the community as "Rock Quarry". Thank you, that is probably an important clarification, one that can have actual citations to support.

Request for input

Hello Mirokado, If that’s not too much to ask, could you please take a look at this FA nomination? I only got one review and the nomination will be shelved if it doesn’t receive more attention. You have reviewed one of my previous FA nominations and I am asking if you could be so kind to do it again. el.ziade (talkallam) 19:59, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for asking. I have already visited Knossos which is known for Linear B, so I find the written Phoenician here particularly interesting. My review will probably be rather spread out over the next few days I am afraid. -- Mirokado (talk) 00:44, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
