Ongoing projects:
- The Recent deaths project, improving or writing articles of people who recently died, begun in 2019, continues.
- The Bach cantatas project, active from the beginnnning in 2012, is a special focus in 2024, 300 years after Bach began his cycle of chorale cantatas.
The Psalms project of the last years was completed!
Gnomish tasks
- check for spelling mistakes
- check for links to current countries, capitals, languages, and remove them, per WP:OVERLINK
- check for unclosed new-line html <br>, replace by <br />
- check for direct links to foreign-language Wikipedias, replace by {{ill}}
- apply {{lang}} to foreign-language texts, with {{langr}} when they should not be automatically italic
- observe WP:Colons and asterisks by RexxS
- replace deprecated {{harv}} by {{sfn}}
- check if talk page headers fulfill the function for which they were meant: guidance on contentious pages
Inform other users about these things, hoping to make them do the same. 8 January, updated --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:22, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
Infoboxes
Project members generally welcome infoboxes, as a means of WP:Accessibility, but don't pursue them against known wishes by principal editors, per User:RexxS/Infobox factors by RexxS. All RfCs of recent years supported the use of a concise infobox over no infobox, last (and only in 2022): Laurence Olivier. It would be nice if the term "infobox warrior" would become unused in 2024.
Feel free to add to the tasks, list your articles for review, chat. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:41, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
History of infoboxes for composers of classical music
In 2023, it was 10 years that we had WP:arbinfobox, which also means 10 years of growing openness for the insight that composers are also human beings, - see 10 years. Yes, a 2010 RfC of WP:COMPOSERS recommended not to have, one which led to a removal of many of them. The history can best be studied looking at Mozart, because he is a composer of general interest, and the article has no particular principal writer.
The process goes on. A list of composers where an infobox was added without objection, often by community consensus, was begun on 15 March 2023. I doesn't include the countless cases where editors simply added an infobox to articles they wrote or improved.

2024 talk
Bach chorale cantatas
The task of improving Bach's chorale cantatas, turning 300, reaches it peak with the Christmas season, when he composed them almost daily. Here are the cantatas, their dates of first performance, the article status at the beginning of 2024, - and you can see what you can do, expanding: reviewing for GA, placing in OTD, reviewing for DYK.
