Hope is precious and great joy is found in living
Thank you for the sapphire—cornflower blue is a color of some significance to me. In the maelstrom that Wikipedia can sometimes be, remember these words from Ode to Joy:
Wem der große Wurf gelungen, Eines Freundes Freund zu sein, Wer ein holdes Weib errungen, Mische seinen Jubel ein! Ja, wer auch nur eine Seele Sein nennt auf dem Erdenrund! Und wer's nie gekonnt, der stehle Weinend sich aus diesem Bund!
Walk lightly and remain yourself, above the fray. →StaniStani 09:20, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for great work on the structure and sources of Bach's Mass in B minor!
I don't know the best way or place to write to you to thank you. (There is a heart icon that links to a way to send appreciation, but I don't understand it.) So, this is where I am thanking you for all the work on the sources of the movements of the mass, etc. After making a few edits today, I saw the history and see all you have done to create (I think) and improve this page. Thanks!! A Bach-lover...David Couch (talk) 08:34, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

The Barnstar of Integrity | |
Gerda, for your ceaseless efforts across the project to recognize and encourage civility, goodwill, and all manner of useful contributions -- and just generally to foster a collegial and warm atmosphere -- I hope you will accept this barnstar. I had considered giving you the Random Acts of Kindness star or the PumpkinSky Prize, but (unsurprisingly) I find they've already been awarded, so I've settled on this option, fresh and just as appropriate as it is. All my best. Snow talk 03:34, 9 January 2015 (UTC) |
The "notorious infoboxes criminal" accepts with delight! I was planning to write on Geh aus, mein Herz, und suche Freud today (my mom's favourite song on her birthday) which is about seeking joy, - now joy just comes ;) - Thank you, made my day! (I still plan to expand the article, it's not too obvious anyway that it's about actively seeking joy when you don't see any.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:45, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
- Well, geteilte Freude ist doppelte Freude, as the old chestnut goes -- and it's always nice in particular to share it with someone who so exemplifies that perspective. But regardless of the source, I hope the day brings you more joy still. :) Snow talk 10:47, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

The Non Barnstar
Barnstars are well intended but for my taste they are a little too impersonal; sort of like a store-bought greeting card versus a handwritten letter. So I am taking this opportunity to say that Wikipedia is a better place because you are here. I wish you all the best. PS: Have you ever sung Berg's Altenberg Lieder? I think maybe it is not quite your style of music but I find the pieces hauntingly beautiful, and the words are simple but profound. Short Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 03:53, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you for the lovely musical note! No, I didn't sing those songs, nor even know them (yet), - I like simple but profound! - Did you know that "you" are mentioned on my user page, sort of? Look for laugh ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:03, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
the blue stone
Dear Gerda, Thankyou for the anniversary message and the fanfare (that's a good article) - the stone, like the music, has a seraphic clarity and spiritual warmth. Just what one needs in these cruel months of the year. I have been reading the psalms in Latin, with St Augustine's comments, and am amazed. Also Jeremy Irons's Four Quartets (Eliot) (Radio 4 broadcast) is still reverberating - that dude is right on the vibe. So we are rather off in our own world, and loving it! ;) kind regards Eebahgum (talk) 22:08, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
- thank you - reverberating Halelu-hu ... - from Jenkin's Gloria ... loving it! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:11, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
Always watching
There's a few things I don't know.
Like how you know what to watch, or where.
But there's one thing I do know. If you didn't exist we'd be poorer. Much poorer.
Thanks Gerda. (everyone else can wonder, or work it out, or ask, or fail to care...).
You're still awesome. That makes me smile. And it always will. Take care.

Arbitration
- I received the following two messages. My first impulse was to archive or even delete. The design of this page is influenced by Br'er Rabbit and Hafspajen, and the pompous style doesn't fit. - After thinking, though, I left them as an anchor for discussion. How could this request, declined by all who commented, grow to what we see below? I made my comments in the workshop, about a huge waste of human potential which is correctly named "ebforcement". I dream of getting rid of, replacing it by something productive which is not driven by the power (and interest) of individuals. Did you know that at present an admin who sees a clear violation is free to act? Acting meaning most often a block, a net loss for Wikipedia? - Comments best in the workshop. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:26, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
By motion, the Arbitration Committee authorises the following injunction effective immediately:
- The case is to be opened forthwith and entitled "Arbitration enforcement";
- During the case, no user who has commented about this matter on the AN page, the AE page or the Case Requests page, may take or initiate administrative action involving any of the named parties in this case.
- Reports of alleged breaches of (2) are to be made only by email to the Arbitration Committee, via the main contact page.
You are receiving this message because you have commented about this matter on the AN page, the AE page or the Case Requests page
and are therefore restricted as specified in (2). For the Arbitration Committee, L235 (t / c / ping in reply) via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:30, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
Arbitration enforcement arbitration case opened
By motion, the committee authorises the following injunction effective immediately:
- The [Arbitration enforcement] case [request] is to be opened forthwith and entitled "Arbitration enforcement";
- During the case, no user who has commented about this matter on the AN page, the AE page or the Case Requests page, may take or initiate administrative action involving any of the named parties in this case.
- Reports of alleged breaches of (2) are to be made only by email to the Arbitration Committee, via the main contact page.
You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has, per the above, accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Arbitration enforcement. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Arbitration enforcement/Evidence. Please add your evidence by July 13, 2015, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Arbitration enforcement/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration. Apologies for the potential duplicate message.

- It looks like arbitration is sitting about the unclear rules and rulings of arbitration. - I tell myself to assume good faith, but it takes a lot. The topic of yesterday's cantata is The Mote and the Beam. My statement was:
I request the committee to look at an aspect of AE that troubles me: a report without a talk to the other user before. A talk, hoping for a revert, has been done, and I suggest AE to request it if not done, before comments even begin, hoping that the user in question will revert or modify the edit in question.

- Nothing would surprise me here any more (quoting myself from much earlier) but deletion proposals are probably not among the actions that might get you in trouble related to this.

- Dammit, now I'm tempted to close it and get a ruling on whether closing a deletion discussion is inherently an "admin action".

Relieved, but I will not yet remove the green "just" from my sorrowbox - because would you keep editing in a place treating you like this?

Hello Gerda,
Do you know of any sacred choral music like the Cantique de Jean Racine that is really nice to hear? I like Cantique de Jean Racine because it's rather melodic and you can even hum to it.

New music files
Hi Gerda. FYI, today I proposed adding new Bach music files at Talk:Klavierbüchlein für Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, Talk:The Musical Offering, and Talk:Brandenburg Concertos. Also, regarding the article Lute Suite in E minor, BWV 996, I am mulling over whether it might be a good idea to remove the music files that are there because they are already at Lautenwerck, and also because they are very unusual, and then insert these more standard music performances:
Jsbach bwv996 01.ogg Jsbach bwv996 02.ogg Jsbach bwv996 03.ogg Jsbach bwv996 04.ogg Jsbach bwv996 05.ogg Jsbach bwv996 06.ogg
Any feedback from you would be appreciated. Cheers.Anythingyouwant (talk) 20:21, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
- Please be patient, I am in the process of packing for vacation, - limited service during the rest of October. -Hint: could you please start a new topic, instead of using the last header, which is a bit confusing in watchlists, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:26, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
- Sure, my edit summary said "new section" but next time I'd be glad to use the "new section" tab. No problem! Have a nice vacation. If no one comments at the talk pages, then I will proceed. Cheers.Anythingyouwant (talk) 20:29, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
Praying for good health
-
A rainbow not too far away in Frankfurt is always a good omen.
-
In China, a Tiger is considered to have special powers and give strength and good health
-
In Tibet, a Khata is given as a goodwill gesture and will help ward off unpleasant forces and keep you safe and bring you good luck.
Please get better Gerda, whatever our differences with infoboxes, we do know that you're a good woman at heart who needs to remain with us. So wishing you all the strength and goodness you need to fully recover. God bless you.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:58, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you, almost feel it working ;) - off tomorrow to vacation in Portugal, will not disturb things much for the rest of the months, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:25, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Dear Gerda, saw this and just want to say whatever challenges you are facing, I wish you strength and the very, very best of health soon. You are in my thoughts and prayers. --Rosiestep (talk) 13:58, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
Enjoy your holiday Gerda! I've not been to Portugal since 1991! There's a place called Lagos, Portugal which is a wee bit fishy ;-)♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:09, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
Sending prayers your way Gerda. Caden cool 16:33, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
