'Do not archive' sections here

I suggest we review the need for the instruction "DoNotArchiveUntil 11:27, 31 August 2029 (UTC)" for some sections here on this talk page. First, I can't see its need for the section "#Many new illustrations from Ricordi now available" which incidentally lacks User:Voceditenore's plain text notice. The section "#Almanacco Amadeus – Che disastro!", should never habeen tagged like this. Comments? Suggestions? -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 07:52, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

Request for review: edit request by article subject at Talk:Caitlin Hulcup

Hello, I was wondering if I could get some fresh eyes on the edit request to the Caitlin Hulcup article by the subject at its talk page. I'd particularly welcome comments from people more familiar with what to include/exclude in articles about classical singers. Graham87 (talk) 19:40, 29 September 2026 (UTC)
