Possible OTD and POTD clash on 9 April?

Hi Amakuru, I'm hoping that National Gallery will be able to appear on On This Day on Tuesday, with an image to illustrate it – see Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/April 9. That day's Picture of the Day will be of the Maison carrée – see Template:POTD/2024-04-09. That's another classical building with a portico; will the two images be too similar? Would it be acceptable for the contents of Template:POTD/2024-04-11 and Template:POTD/2024-04-09 to swap places? Ham II (talk) 09:16, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

@Ham II: oh yes, that makes sense, good spot. I've gone ahead and done that swap as you suggested. Thanks  — Amakuru (talk) 09:56, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

I like to see Appalachian Spring on the Main page today (not by me, just interested and reviewed), and I also made it my story. - How do you like the statue (see places)? I was undecided so show three versions ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:10, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: that's very nice, thank you. Looks like an interesting place! Probably the second pic is my favourite, it shows some of the landscape behind while also having the statue prominently. This has reminded me about when I lived in Aachen as a child and we used to go on walks quite often, either up the de:Haarberg (Aachen), where a large cross was to be found (File:Haarener Kreuz.JPG), or up the Vaalserberg, home of the Dreiländereck where you could be in Germany, Netherlands and Belgium all at the same time. So many nice places to see!  — Amakuru (talk) 20:53, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! - Today I see Marian Anderson as my top story (by NBC, 1939), and below three people with raised arms, - and the place is the cherry blossom in Frauenstein where I enjoyed Easter Monday - a mostly rainy day which doesn't show ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:27, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

My story today is about a piece composed for the Second Sunday after Easter 300 years ago, and I just returned from a (long) opera about the same age. - Thank you for posting Joe Viera to RD, - I wouldn't mind credit ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:57, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Did you see my little question? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:18, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: ah apologies, I was out and about yesterday when I posted the Viera RD, so didn't fully read what you'd written. Sorry about that! I've done the credits now. Will also have a look at your stories! Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 11:21, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Madagascar stonechat

Thanks for all the POTD work; this one is listed for 25 April and 3 May. Best wishes Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:36, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

@Charlesjsharp: oh yes, so I did. Sorry about that. I have my own list and little app that I use to figure out what needs scheduling and I had forgotten to update it that I'd already selected Madagascar stonechat on another day... And BTW thanks again to you for all the lovely pictures you submit here!  — Amakuru (talk) 12:27, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

MRT Line 6

I believe that there is only one MRT Line 6 in the world and there is no other MRT Line 6 in Wikipedia. Manila has LRT Line 6 and LRT and MRT is not same. There is no way people will be confused. I think (and we should) the page move should be reverted. Mehedi Abedin 10:11, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

I would agree. GucciNuzayer (talk) 20:43, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Organoid intelligence: Special Thanks

Hello, I am the original writer of the "Organoid Intelligence" page. I just wanted say, thank you so so much for changing Organoid Intelligence to Organoid intelligence. By the time I realised that I published the page with a significant naming convention error, it was too late. And despite trying a lot, I could not figure out how to change the name. I even left a Talk page for some time hoping someone else would do it but no one did. And the issue really irritated me. I know it might seem silly, but it made me very happy. So, thank you!

Conference Finals

Why don't you fix? Dicklyon (talk) 16:00, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

@Dicklyon: there's still one of the three entries that's capitalised, so it might still be the correct thing to do to maintain the disambiguation page at the capitalised name too? I can't remember what the default is with that. Anyway it might be worth (a) filing a move request for KHL Conference Finals and (b) getting buy in from those who reverted the move of that disambiguation page already, rather than us beginning another move ear on this...  — Amakuru (talk) 16:13, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

When you capped it, you noted only one currently lowercase, so I figure with majority lowercase, that would be different now. Anyway, I'll just ignore it if nobody cares, as I'm ignoring the KHL move after telling GoodDay I'd leave to him and the project. Sort of a monument to obstruction.

Question about move

Hello friend. Regarding this, I am wondering why the close of Talk:Iranian consulate airstrike in Damascus#Requested move 2 April 2024 isn't being implemented? If I'm reading that correctly, the article should be at Israeli bombing of the Iranian embassy in Damascus. –Novem Linguae (talk) 11:01, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

@Novem Linguae: - thanks for your note, and I have left a comment on the article talk page about this. The title moved to, as requested as RM/TR, was the original title and given that there was no consensus for a move in the recent RM, that prior title has now been restored per WP:RMUM. If you wish for the bold change to be reinstated, then a fresh RM is the way to go for that. Thanks  — Amakuru (talk) 11:07, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
