Below is a link for swapping special occasions for April (in case any of them are March dates) and the list for swapping hooks for March. OTD tries to prepare sets two weeks ahead of time. New OTD swappers are always welcome; editors can post below if want feedback on their work. Thanks for everyone who participates!

Done; I felt the current image is rather atmospheric, but if anyone feels it is too unclear at Main Page size, feel free to swap it out for Phan Xích Long or Valeri Polyakov.

I proposed Bach's
Du Hirte Israel, höre, BWV 104 for tomorrow on its 300th anniversary of the first performance (by date). I saw that nobody looked at the last days, and wonder who could check the addition. I am reluctant to place in into the actual set myself. --

@
Gerda Arendt: I didn't see this in time. In the future, consider just adding it directly. Per
WP:OTD, For unprotected days, go ahead and add them directly to the project page... There really aren't many editors managing OTD, so feel free to
be bold. As it is, the items for this day were basically the same as last year's. —

Thank you,
Bagumba, will do just a bit sooner. When I decided to do that, the page was already protected. --

@
Gerda Arendt: I meant you could have directly placed it at the "live" location when
you originally added it to April 23. I can understand being cautious. But really, OTD needs more active participants too. Best. —

I meant the same. When I arrived at the decision to move it there, two hours before midnight, it was already protected, - I don't know for how long. Next time I'll place it there the first time. With Bach having composed a cantata almost every week, there are more. Just this one is especially wonderful, - perhaps listen ;) --
