I came across this award reviewing a draft and it appears to be a notable award mentioned in several articles. Thought you might be interested in creating an article. See also es:Gourmand World Cookbook Awards. S0091 (talk) 16:09, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hm, it has an entry in 8 language wikis. Definitely seems worth investigating, thanks! Valereee (talk) 17:37, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for good advice! - Recommended reading today: Frye Fire, by sadly missed Vami_IV. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:31, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- I'm glad it was helpful! Thanks for the story link, I always love looking through your photos. Just added one at Leberkäse. Valereee (talk) 10:00, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
Happy because my story today is about a Czech mezzo soprano who is mentioned on the Main page on her birthday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:53, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Three stories related to today in memory, 11 September, 20 July and 20 June, the latter piece of art also pictured on the Main page. - Thanks for the Leberkäse. I went to the place with Graham87 (but no Leberkäse then). The latest pics have dumplings - and I thought of you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:38, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, I see those Plum dumplings! What's the brownish-black powder? I looked at knedle, but it looks like there are multiple photos there already unless that powder garnish deserves explanation and a photo. Valereee (talk) 15:45, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- Poppy seed and powdered sugar, from my friend's Slovak grandmother. Off to rehearsal for concert tomorrow. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:59, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
Today is Schoenberg's 150th birthday! On display, portrayed by Egon Schiele, with music from Moses und Aron, and with two DYK hooks, one from 2010 and another from 2014; the latter, about his 40th birthday, appeared on his 140th birthday, which made me happy then and now again. - See places for a stunning sunrise, on the day Bruckner's 200th birthday was celebrated (just a few days late). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:43, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
My story today is about a man who played jazz when it was banned by the Nazis, - you can listen to how they played it later. - What do you think of my talk page corner for "help wanted", recently recommended? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:49, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-38
[edit]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Improvements and Maintenance
Editors interested in templates can help by reading the latest Wishlist focus area, Template recall and discovery, and share your feedback on the talkpage. This input helps the Community Tech team to decide the right technical approach to build. Everyone is also encouraged to continue adding new wishes.- The new automated Special:NamespaceInfo page helps editors understand which namespaces exist on each wiki, and some details about how they are configured. Thanks to DannyS712 for these improvements. [1]
- References Check is a feature that encourages editors to add a citation when they add a new paragraph to a Wikipedia article. For a short time, the corresponding tag "Edit Check (references) activated" was erroneously being applied to some edits outside of the main namespace. This has been fixed. [2]
- It is now possible for a wiki community to change the order in which a page’s categories are displayed on their wiki. By default, categories are displayed in the order they appear in the wikitext. Now, wikis with a consensus to do so can request a configuration change to display them in alphabetical order. [3]
Tool authors can now access ToolsDB's public databases from both Quarry and Superset. Those databases have always been accessible to every Toolforge user, but they are now more broadly accessible, as Quarry can be accessed by anyone with a Wikimedia account. In addition, Quarry's internal database can now be queried from Quarry itself. This database contains information about all queries that are being run and starred by users in Quarry. This information was already public through the web interface, but you can now query it using SQL. You can read more about that, and 20 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.- Any pages or tools that still use the very old CSS classes
mw-message-boxneed to be updated. These old classes will be removed next week or soon afterwards. Editors can use a global-search to determine what needs to be changed. It is possible to use the newercdx-messagegroup of classes as a replacement (see the relevant Codex documentation, and an example update), but using locally defined onwiki classes would be best. [4]
Technical project updates
- Next week, all Wikimedia wikis will be read-only for a few minutes. This will start on September 25 at 15:00 UTC. This is a planned datacenter switchover for maintenance purposes. This maintenance process also targets other services. The previous switchover took 3 minutes, and the Site Reliability Engineering teams use many tools to make sure that this essential maintenance work happens as quickly as possible. [5]
Tech in depth
- The latest monthly MediaWiki Product Insights newsletter is available. This edition includes details about: research about hook handlers to help simplify development, research about performance improvements, work to improve the REST API for end-users, and more.
- To learn more about the technology behind the Wikimedia projects, you can now watch sessions from the technology track at Wikimania 2024 on Commons. This week, check out:
- Hackathon Showcase (45 mins) - 19 short presentations by some of the Hackathon participants, describing some of the projects they worked on, such as automated testing of maintenance scripts, a video-cutting command line tool, and interface improvements for various tools. There are more details and links available in the Phabricator task.
- Co-Creating a Sustainable Future for the Toolforge Ecosystem (40 mins) - a roundtable discussion for tool-maintainers, users, and supporters of Toolforge about how to make the platform sustainable and how to evaluate the tools available there.

Hi, I'm not very familiar with formatting references; also, there is a YouTube video as a reference. Could you kindly check the page? Thank you very much. JacktheBrown (talk) 11:29, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hey, Jack! I'll answer at Talk:Pasta all'Ortolana. Valereee (talk) 11:38, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you very much.
- Changing the subject, I would like to ask: on the Italian grammar page, source number 11 is in bold. Why? How can I remove it? JacktheBrown (talk) 22:22, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- JacktheBrown, there were two extraneous ' characters that triggered the bolding. I corrected the error. Cullen328 (talk) 22:29, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Cullen328: thank you! JacktheBrown (talk) 22:37, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Cullen328: I checked the reference; now, unfortunately, it's in italics. JacktheBrown (talk) 22:52, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- JacktheBrown, I removed more extraneous ' characters. Is it OK now? Cullen328 (talk) 01:14, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Cullen328: perfecf! JacktheBrown (talk) 09:47, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- JacktheBrown, I removed more extraneous ' characters. Is it OK now? Cullen328 (talk) 01:14, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, Cullen. Jack, take a look at the edit Cullen made so that next time you'll know how to do this yourself. Valereee (talk) 22:31, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Even more India
[edit]You might find the closing comment at Talk:2024_Kolkata_rape_and_murder_incident#RfC:_Name_of_victim interesting. Well done IMO. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:22, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, good close there! I was watching but not participating in case it needed a closer. If I'd closed I would have listed in the 'compelling and clearly articulated reasons' in the final paragraph the 'what value does the name add for the reader that "a 31 year old female postgraduate trainee doctor at R. G. Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, West Bengal, India" does not?' argument. Valereee (talk) 10:00, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
