::Hi ], you're being a much better admin than El C. Noted, thanks, and you're right of course, I'm well aware of that, but am occasionally imperfect. (Parenthetically, always glad when I see you still poking around here occasionally. We don't really deserve you. Just went out to dinner with Mrs. Floquenbeam, no kids, and had an interesting Kentucky Bourbon English Ale. In a much better mood. Hope you and yours are well.) --] (]) 03:21, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

  • Normal humans: I'm not around that much, so it's probably best to ask another admin for help.
  • Admins: If you think an admin action I've taken in the past is wrong or no longer useful, just go ahead and undo or change it.

Happy new year 2025, opened with trumpet fanfares that first sounded OTD in 1725 (as the Main page has). -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:52, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Happy New Year, Gerda! I actually had a chance to click on one of your watch/listen links! Very cool. --Floquenbeam (talk) 15:30, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
Glad about that! - Liebster Immanuel, Herzog der Frommen, BWV 123, my story today 300 years after the first performance, is up for GAN. Dada Masilo will be my story tomorrow. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:16, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
My story today is about a composer who influenced music history also by writing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:56, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

An archiving

Hi, you said " Last comment in this thread was 6 days ago; not sure why the bot hasn't archived it." but AN is on a seven-day archive schedule, as said in the banner at the top. Best wishes for the new year! Fram (talk) 14:06, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Well that certainly explains it! For some reason (perhaps it was the case long, long ago) I thought ANI was on a 48 hour schedule, and AN on a 72 hr schedule. Hope your 2025 goes well too. Floquenbeam (talk) 14:32, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
