Some questions

Hi there. I understand you're into the topic of "transportation within the NYC area". I wanna ask about some stuff, but they're not wiki-related (maybe except Commons). Would it be okay if I ask the questions somewhere off wiki (maybe Discord/email etc) so I don't clog up this page? If you want to keep it here I'm okay also. Thanks. S5A-0043Talk 13:21, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

@S5A-0043, sure. If you're in the WP:DISCORD server, you could reach out to me there (my username there is ryanmng). If not, I could answer your questions on-wiki. Epicgenius (talk) 13:28, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
Thanks. I think I interpreted wrongly & sent you a DM instead (apologies about that), so could you answer over there? My account name is same as my WP username. S5A-0043Talk 13:46, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

DYK for 287 Broadway

On 14 May 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 287 Broadway, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that 287 Broadway was once called "the most succulent cast-iron street-show in all New York"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/287 Broadway. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, 287 Broadway), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

TFA

story · music · places

We thank you today for Felix M. Warburg House, introduced: "This article is about another of the great houses that once lined Fifth Avenue in New York. Specifically, this is the mansion of Felix M. Warburg, a Jewish financier who ignored fears of anti-Semitic reprisal to his decided to build himself a big Gothic manor in the middle of New York City. Although the Warburgs no longer remain, their legacy does: the museum is now the home of the Jewish Museum (Manhattan) and the building largely survives as they left it. It's a beautiful building and I hope you will all enjoy it."! - in memory -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:44, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Magdalena Hinterdobler is also on the Main page today, together with an opera that reviewers deemed not interesting and too obscure for our general readers. The soprano thought differently, - listen and see. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:26, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks Gerda, I appreciate it. This TFA is also a pretty good commemoration of Vami's work, so thank you as well for nominating this to TFA. – Epicgenius (talk) 13:12, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
That was the least I could do. He was the most promising project member, and so great to work with. Just recently, we had different topics. Another one I nominated is already scheduled for 1 June, the one where our teamwork was at its best. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:34, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
Doom (2016 video game) - today's TFA is again by Vami --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:57, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
I noticed it yesterday evening, but I actually forgot about that till now. That is a very good way to honor Vami, I think. – Epicgenius (talk) 23:04, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
yes, and as we several with this intention there will be 3 more soon - I look your DYK today but am sad that this beauty is not pictured - did you listen and see the soprano? - today's story has a pic of a woman holding her cat, a DYK of 5 years ago - the recent pics show 2 orange tip butterflies --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:47, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
Admittedly, I did not listen to the soprano yet, but I'll probably listen to it when I get home. That is a nice picture of Schoop holding a cat. Epicgenius (talk) 15:57, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
