I write about music and to a lesser extent the visual arts and Chinese history. Although I focus on Western classical music, I find myself writing about Arab, Byzantine, Chinese, Persia and Eastern European musical traditions as well. My favorite composer will always be Gustav Mahler, but I have recently found my self enjoying the work of Henri Dutilleux, Unsuk Chin and Tōru Takemitsu.

For being an invaluable Wikipedian and a source of knowledge for any queries on processes.

The Barnstar of High Culture
For your exemplary work on several articles related to the arts — across a wide range of areas — and improving them to good and featured quality status. I have relied on some of your work to model articles I have worked on, and I am certain that you have inspired others as well. Thank you for all that you do and I hope you know that you have made Wikipedia a better encyclopedia! — The Most Comfortable Chair 15:34, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
Editor of the Week
Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week in recognition of your great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)

User:MaranoFan submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:

I nominate Aza24 for EOTW for being a class act and for their tireless contributions across several arenas. They have contributed various featured articles and lists, and quality content about sophisticated topics such as paintings and Chinese history. Aza24 has proferred quality source reviews to several featured article candidates without asking for anything in return, which are both thorough and constructively worded. A thoroughly deserving recipient having done a magnificent 112 reviews at FAR, more than half of them source reviews, making them part of the essential backbone of FAR. A wonderful servant of Wikipedia. They also delegate at WP:FGTC and play a major part in keeping that project alive. He has a special place of honour for reforming the WP:Vital articles project, seen here. Aza24's work ethic, civility, and underrated work on obscure topics are an example for the rest of us and make them a deserving candidate. Seconded by User:Kavyansh.Singh, User:Novem Linguae, User:Gog the Mild and User:CactiStaccingCrane

Thanks again for your efforts! ―Buster7  17:07, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
