| my story today |
Thank you today for Tiberius III, "about a Byzantine Emperor who rose to power during a time of intense strife, and reigned for a short seven years before being deposed by a previously deposed emperor. In his short reign he seems to have done much to stabilize the empire, and historian Constance Head remarks that he might have been considered one of the great Byzantine Emperors."! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:20, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
Finally: June pictures updated, with three great RMF concerts! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:40, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
On today's Main page, you can find a cantata that Bach first performed 300 years ago, and an iconic saxophonist from East Germany. Also: a bit about the history of QAI on my talk. Thank you for being part of it! A new member designed a user box. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:40, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
While today's DYK highlights Santiago on his day, I did my modest share with my story today, describing what I just experienced, pictured. I began the article of the woman in green. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:56, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Technical news
- The tag filter on Special:NewPages and revision history pages can now be inverted. This allows hiding edits made by automated tools. (T334338)
- Special:BlockedExternalDomains is a new tool that allows easier blocking of plain domains (and their subdomains). This is more easily searchable and is faster for the software to use than the existing MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. It does not support regex (for complex cases), URL path-matching, or the MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist. (T337431)
Arbitration
- The arbitration cases named Scottywong and AlisonW closed 10 July and 16 July respectively.
- The SmallCat dispute arbitration case is in the workshop phase.
Iazyges, is this ready to be passed? TrangaBellam seems to think that anything remaining are suggestions outside the GA criteria per a query on their web page. It would greatly help if this could be concluded as soon as possible, including whether it is ready to be passed. Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:57, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- @BlueMoonset: Ah; I'd been awaiting a ping (amidst a period of low activity); the article looks good to go, passing now. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 21:20, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
