Vandalism in the Trilobite page
Hi Uness232 It has been a long time since I last communicated with you. I found the Trilobite page vandalised and the infobox messed up. I tried undoing the vandalism by undoing the edit which caused it but I failed. Can you please fix it. Thank you. Deutschland1871 (talk) Deutschland1871 (talk) 22:49, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
Humid subtropical
Per the Koppen climate classifciation, the states I outlined all have humid subtropical in their respective regions.
Checking the Koppen maps on these articles will show that the edit is genuine.

- @Chumzwumz68: The edit is genuine and constructive and I have no doubts about your good-faith, but those maps use one of two isotherms possible with the Köppen classification. One is -3C, and the other is 0C. The maps you show use -3C, but Beck et al. doesn't and opts for 0C; my suggestion is that we should include climates that would qualify for both isotherms.

- Maybe we could add a footnote delineating the differences between 0C and -3C? Seems as if it is quite drastic though. Chumzwumz68 (talk) 19:38, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Chumzwumz68: Possible, but would break up the prose to a level that would make some uncomfortable. I actually outlined a more radical idea on the talk page, but there doesn't seem to be much interest in that. Uness232 (talk) 19:41, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Ottoman music for string quartet
An cool playlist I found—thought it might interest you. Aza24 (talk) 17:13, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Aza24 You're right, it is quite interesting! To be perfectly clear, by the way, these aren't traditional pieces rearranged for our contemporary ears, but are at least somewhat historically-informed renditions that capture an interesting period of music in the Ottoman palace. These are pieces that were composed (or re-arranged from older, pre-Westernisation pieces) in the mid 19th-century, as the Ottoman court was taking an interest in Western instrumentation, but was not ready to give up its own tradition (it would do that 50 years later - or so, around the beginning of the 20th century). Some of the music here is very clearly modeled after Western melodies; others are more eclectic. So yes, definitely an interesting time in Ottoman music history!

- That makes sense—I was surprised how some sounded like Tchaik but others like actual Ottoman music. Fun stuff. Aza24 (talk) 20:28, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
