Ongoing projects:
- The Psalms project of the last years is mostly completed.
- The Recent deaths project, improving or writing articles of people who recently died, begun in 2019, continues.
- The Bach cantatas project, active from the beginnnning in 2012, is a special focus in 2024, 300 years after Bach began his cycle of chorale cantatas.
Gnomish tasks
- check for spelling mistakes
- check for links to current countries, capitals, languages, and remove them, per WP:OVERLINK
- check for unclosed new-line html <br>, replace by <br />
- check for direct links to foreign-language Wikipedias, replace by {{ ill}}
- apply {{ lang}} to foreign-language texts, with {{ langr}} when they should not be automatically italic
- observe WP:Colons and asterisks by RexxS
- replace deprecated {{ harv}} by {{ sfn}}
- check if talk page headers fulfill the function for which they were meant: guidance on contentious pages
Inform other users about these things, hoping to make them do the same. 8 January, updated -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:22, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
Infoboxes
Project members generally welcome infoboxes, as a means of WP:Accessibility, but don't pursue them against known wishes by principal editors, per User:RexxS/Infobox factors by RexxS. All RfCs of recent years supported the use of a concise infobox over no infobox, last (and only in 2022): Laurence Olivier. It would be nice if the term "infobox warrior" would become unused in 2024.
Feel free to add to the tasks, list your articles for review, chat. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 09:41, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
History of infoboxes for composers of classical music
In 2023, it was 10 years that we had WP:arbinfobox, which also means 10 years of growing openness for the insight that composers are also human beings, - see 10 years. Yes, a 2010 RfC of WP:COMPOSERS recommended not to have, one which led to a removal of many of them. The history can best be studied looking at Mozart, because he is a composer of general interest, and the article has no particular principal writer.
The process goes on. A list of composers where an infobox was added without objection, often by community consensus, was begun on 15 March 2023. I doesn't include the countless cases where editors simply added an infobox to articles they wrote or improved.
