March songs

Thank you for support in the RfC for DYK - music with a chance to listen, - the piece by Anna Korsun begins after about one hour, and the voices afterwards call "Freiheit!" instead of "Freude". Music every day, pictured in songs. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:02, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

The Prayer is on the Main page, finally + new flowers --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:55, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Sunday flowers and sounds, don't miss the extraordinary marriage of the beginnings of the theme of Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern, BWV 1, and Prayer for Ukraine - here! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:24, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

Ukrainian refugee crisis

How the ... ? CurryCity (talk) 06:21, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

CurryCity, I can't speak for Thriley, but I have ALSO just removed that text. The sources used are discussing that Azov are accused of being far-right, but nowhere in the sources is there any mention of refugees. So the text added is SYNTH at best and fairly implausible as well. The idea that a tough fighting unit with a (deserved or undeserved ?) reputation for being ultra-nationalist Ukrainian hard-men would have nothing better to do at present than harass non-white students on the Polish border is far-fetched and certainly not sourced.

Apologies to Thriley for ivading your talk page! Pincrete (talk) 11:13, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

User: Pincrete, that’s the point I meant to make. Thank you for stepping in and thank you for all the contributions you have made to the article. Thriley (talk) 17:36, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Are you talking about this source? The point of the article is that refugee treatment, media reports, and Azov are different manifestations of the underlying racism in the region. It should go somewhere under that section. CurryCity (talk) 04:32, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

CurryCity I don’t see how detailing them in the article helps describe the current refugee crisis. If there are reliable sources saying that they have been involved, then perhaps a mention would be warranted. We must be wary of SYNTH, especially since this is an evolving situation with news updates nearly hourly. Thriley (talk) 19:42, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Maybe. Let me think about it. CurryCity (talk) 04:37, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

DYK for Virginia Ali

On 18 March 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Virginia Ali, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in 1958, Virginia Ali and her husband Ben Ali founded Ben's Chili Bowl, a landmark Washington, D.C. restaurant where Martin Luther King Jr., Jesse Jackson, and Stokely Carmichael would often eat? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Virginia Ali. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Virginia Ali), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.
