Thank you for the quick review. I reviewed now Template:Did you know nominations/Ariana Orrego. Perhaps the image could be cropped? GRuban? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 00:24, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
Updated! Cropping it would be an improvement.  Ploni💬  01:07, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
Finally: I got it cropped thanks to GRuban, Ploni. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:52, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
Looks good to go!  Ploni💬  02:59, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
@Gerda Arendt: loving the hook, but it's a bit unclear to me. Was it intended to be played regularly during the teacher's experiments? If so, can the article be updated to match? And when the article says He won Szydlo to not only come for the celebration of his 60th birthday, but also give a speech at the main concert, I don't understand what "won" means. Was there a contest? theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (she/her) 07:05, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
Last first: in German, you can "jemanden für eine Aufgabe gewinnen", and it didn't occur to me as an idiom, sorry. Deepl tells me it's "to win someone over to a task". Would that be good enough or is there a better phrase for it? It was a major trip for Szydlo, so having the experiments on the side was ideal, but will be rare, beginning with not happening the following day, when the chemist sat in the audience after his speech and was the first to stand for the ovation (pictured). Music is often inspired by something but can be meaningfully performed without the something. The same composer wrote a piece inspired by a painting, but you don't have to know the painting, or by concentric phenomena, as you will remember. - This hook would be most meaningful on 28 Februar 2023, his mother's 90th birthday. She sat next to Szydlo but didn't rise as fast. (But I hate to ask favours ;) - I love GRuban's pic cropping, better later than no pic.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:38, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
