2024 is the anniversary of the [[Achtliederbuch]], the first Lutheran hymnal of 500 years ago, and - possibly related - [[Chorale cantata (Bach)|Bach's cycle of Chorale cantatas]] 300 years ago. His works and the chorales on which they are based will be a focus for 2024. Ongoing are locations that played a role in my life, [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Quality Article Improvement/Recent deaths|recent deaths]], music heard and sung, composers, gardens. Watch my user page for articles, done in collaboration. Compare [[User:Gerda Arendt/2023#2023|2023]] for the amazing number of users who began and expanded articles. Thanks also to reviewers, and I do plan to review more and write less, and in writing, focus more on quality than the little daily article. |

Dear Gerda, I apologize for not replying to your thoughtful messages. December is usually a busy month for me; this one has been even more so, much of it because of my own doing! But I wanted to let you know that I did read them and that it means very much to me that you took the trouble to think of me, despite my occasional irascibility. (Within me the patrimony of my hot-blooded Italian forebears are ever in conflict with the expressive austerity of my Basque ancestors!) Thank you for everything that you do on here. My sincerest wishes to you for good health and much joy in 2024! :) —[[User:CurryTime7-24|CurryTime7-24]] ([[User talk:CurryTime7-24|talk]]) 21:43, 31 December 2023 (UTC) |

Thank you for the positive comments at [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive942#User:Moxy|the AI thread]]. Hard spot for anyone to speak up when a gang of editors are attacking someone....thanks. All my fault I took the bait. I really don't see a point in commenting anymore as they don't seem to care about accessibility dispite studies and reader after reader saying something. I will still have fun watching these guys scrabble all the time this comes up. It's to bad and funny because most of them are great editors. I spoke up about every 3 months or so...but think things are personal between me and Cass now..thus think it's best to let others deal with his odd inflamitory attitude. --[[User:Moxy|Moxy]] ([[User talk:Moxy|talk]]) 18:53, 1 January 2017 (UTC) |

Hello Gerda. I’ve just read today’s featured article, Der Psalm 100, and saw you had something to do with it. For that effort I thank you. I would also like to ask if you are a musician. My mother taught me to play piano when I was a child - she played piano for the small Southern Baptist chapel she grew up in in a small town in the Southern US. I hadn’t touched a (musical) keyboard for nearly 25 years (except upon visits to my mother) until this Christmas when my wife surprised me with an electronic piano as a gift. I have greatly enjoyed relearning the true wonder of music these past few days. I was so incredibly surprised that I still remembered the notes to [[Minuet WoO 10, No. 2 (Beethoven)]]! Today I am thankful to be able to appreciate music and have a desire to learn more about it. [[User:Mr Ernie|Mr Ernie]] ([[User talk:Mr Ernie|talk]]) 03:53, 9 January 2018 (UTC) |

|||
: Thank you so much, Mr Ernie! I almost cried when you mentioned your mother because today is the birthday of my mother, and the day was chosen because this is so, DYK? In loving memory I recall that she had sung all the time I can remember, and I got a piano - something she would have loved to learn but her family couldn't afford it - when I was ten. Professionally, I did something else, but the love of music stayed (I have an infobox on my user page), and yes, this past Christmas was especially musical, - [[User:Gerda Arendt/Christmas 2017|happy 2018]]! The psalm by Reger ([[User:Gerda Arendt/Images#Reger|celebrated in 2016]]) is a giant work, and carries what I stand for: rejoice, serve, serve with joy, reflect, come together to dance and give thanks.

::"In the third movement, Bach set the librettist's text differently than the interspersed hymn quotations, but unites both all with a continuous "[[Motif (music)|motif]] of joy" in the accompaniment." Could you rephrase? I don't know what that means. - Dank ([[User talk:Dank|push to talk]]) 21:02, 19 January 2018 (UTC) |
|||
=== I offer you my deepest apologies Gerda === |
|||
::: Sorry, that's your job ;) - Long version: Bach sets the elements recitative and chorale differently, rendering the librettist's text in "rhythmically free diction of recitative",[24] and the chorale as arioso. He unifies the movement by a continuous motif in the strings, called "Freudenmotiv" by Dürr, which "always indicates an underlying mood of happiness". - Explanation: the text combines the librettist's words and quotations from Luther's hymn, not one after the other, but switching several times. See [http://www.emmanuelmusic.org/notes_translations/translations_cantata/t_bwv125.htm here], librettist's normal, hymn bold. Bach set the librettist's words as recitative, but Luther's as arioso, with the accompaniment the same throughout for both: a motif that stands for joy (''Freude''). Please try, - this is an outstanding movement (both text and music are unusual), so should be mentioned. --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt#top|talk]]) 21:16, 19 January 2018 (UTC) |

Hello Gerda. I would just want you to know that I am very sorry for the ANI discussion I started earlier. I had been having some real-life stress lately and it felt like it may have affected my feelings on-wiki. I'm very sorry for the attitude I have shown you over the past few weeks. I very much appreciate your efforts on Wikipedia and your dedication to the project even if we disagree on many things, and I just want to let you know that despite everything that has happened you are still an editor I admire and respect. You are a net positive to DYK and while we may disagree on views, what we can agree on is that your articles are very informative and a net good to the project. Again, I am sorry for what I have done. Rest assured that regardless of our differences I support your efforts on Wikipedia to improve our coverage on classical music and Germany.

: [[User:Narutolovehinata5|Narutolovehinata5]], still today, I'm on a train, the train has a connection (all things that can't be taken for granted): apologies for attitude accepted, but I hope that it really will change, because I felt it becoming a danger to diversity of information and freedom of speech. For those unfamiliar with the situation: we escalated over the hook for [[Kihwan Sim]], which was replaced in prep against my protest. That hook should not run, it's a triviality said about a living person who deserves merit for specific achievements. - I looked at the thread and found some gems of support there that I will place in my "blushing" cabinet, - thank you, all! --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt#top|talk]]) 10:19, 11 January 2024 (UTC) |

::This is not an indictment of Naruto but like others on the AN/I thread I have found that Wikipedia seems to have become more hostile. I suppose one could surmise at least somewhat that it is born out of necessity. We appear to live at a time where I feel my thoughts on life and the way I wish to live life are going the way of faeries and dragons. Nobody cares, love is fleeting, and civility and affording basic human respect are more centered on your position in relation to mine rather than the fact you are a fellow human being. The cruelty is not AN/I or Naruto's position. The cruelty is everything that has led up to it. People are becoming less nice and we are told it is normal, discussions less civil but we are told to accept it. Where is the empathy? |

::::[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda]], I'd say most of these German words for abstract ideas don't have an exact equivalent in English, you can't nail them down precisely. It was only a quick translation, and some of your choices are better. |
|||
::::# Yes, sensitivity is better here than perception and feeling. |
|||
::::# You seem to be agreeing with the word experience. I did say repertoire was a complete guess, as I had never come across that word ''Kopfregister''. |
|||
::::# äussern is cognate with utter, the root meaning of it is something like giving voice to. If here the writer means showed or displayed, then we could bring in one of those, or perhaps an English writer would say shone through in. |
|||
::::# I turned it around because it sounded a little awkward, but we can of course keep the German word order if you think there's a particular reason for it. |
|||
::::# The German doesn't specify anyone's soul, and that term mirror of the soul is a standard English idiom. So if we said mirror of ''her'' soul, we should be adding an emphasis that isn't there. |
|||
::::# On ''eigenartig'', I'd say individual is nearer the meaning than unique? I don't sense that the writer is saying ''Schoecks Klavierspiel'' was uniquely beautiful, and I think exceptionally gets to about the right level of praise. If we said "individually beautiful" that sounds weird, believe me. |
|||
::::# I left it as it was because I could make it sound okay in English, but the perfect harmony is the active noun in the sentence, so it does come out better if turned around, as you suggest. I once heard Giscard d'Estaing give a speech in French that was being simultaneously translated for an international conference in Sweden, and after a few small jokes he commented rather drily that the Germans mostly laughed last, because the verb finds its way to the end of the sentence. |

:: {{u|Gerda Arendt}}, in English the definite article can be used with peace, so long as a particular peace is specified, such as "the peace of God that passeth all understanding". But as you say it's a challenging idea that an abstract concept can be a being that waits for people! We could indeed say "the peace / That waits full of beauty for us to come" but it sounds so absurd that there is no poetry in it. As [[Robert Frost]] said, "poetry is what gets lost in translation". Trying to stick too closely to the original does more harm than good. [[User:Moonraker|Moonraker]] ([[User talk:Moonraker|talk]]) 18:14, 27 January 2018 (UTC) |

Thank you for support, barnstars and recognition. I had a great day with friends and family, and am too tired for individual comments. What brought us here was my DYK nomination for a singer who fascinated me, [[Template:Did you know nominations/Kihwan Sim]], followed by questioning the sourcing for part of the hook together with the suggestion of a completely different hook, [[WT:DYK#Kihwan Sim]]. I was away, and didn't see that this new hook, although I objected and explained that I was away, was put in prep. I still object, a) because it says something trivial about him instead of celebrating his achievements, b) because I hate to be held responsible for putting "military" on the Main page. It reached the Main page now. Help?? - I will have no time for Wikipedia today, as yesterday. - For those who believe that our readers are not interested in opera: in the last case of an opera singer, [[Ryland Davies]], more people viewed the opera than the singer.

:::: I wouldn't say friendly is a ''difficult'' word for speakers of English, but we do seem to take it literally, implying some goodwill from one personality to another. So in English the noun that's being described needs to be either a person or something we can give a personality to. We can say friendly boy, friendly elephant, friendly bank, or even friendly house, but a friendly dream sounds absurd, because a dream can't be imagined as thinking for itself. German speakers seem to use ''freundlicb'' to mean pleasant, without friendship bring implied? So if anyone is to be blamed for being difficult, then perhaps...

Thanks for your recent communications; hope that you're well. BTW, I might need your help in the next few weeks (or months), on the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra's home page. My last edits that toned down material about Kirill Petrenko were reverted (stupidly, IMHO) by someone without the slightest meaning about writing objective articles on Wikipedia. I'm going to do some more systematic editing later that will restore those old edits, but also add new material from the German Wikipedia page. I know that you don't like to get overly involved in edit wars, but those will probably ensue there. Cheers, [[User:DJRafe|DJRafe]] ([[User talk:DJRafe|talk]]) 15:28, 24 February 2018 (UTC) |

::Uchida held us breathless at Snape Maltings a few years ago with a solo concert of the three final Beethoven sonatas. It seems somehow improper to comment on such a comprehensively personal and dynamically brilliant exposition, but we certainly felt the warmth of the pedalling building the whole conception. It was terrific Beethoven! Your mention of the chirping birds reminds me of an open air evening concert in the Forum in Rome back in 1977 - it was Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, and every time the horns came in, all the wild cats that live in the Forum responded by yowling together in a loud chorus after a moment's delay. Whether they liked it or not I don't know, but it touched something in their souls, for the effect came back a couple of times as if it had been written into Sonata Form. Happy cats!

Hi Gerda, your ping at this user's talk page didn't work for some reason. I just now saw your message so I do apologize. I appreciate your offer to mentor him, but I suggest your efforts may be better spent elsewhere. He was not blocked because he couldn't follow the rules at [[WP:FAC]], although that may be a byproduct of his youth/immaturity or a language barrier. He was blocked because he was unwilling to listen to any kind of advice or instructions, and his reaction to attempts at guiding him were to vandalize the articles he was working on (see [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tokyo_Mirage_Sessions_%E2%99%AFFE&diff=prev&oldid=821662042 here] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tokyo_Mirage_Sessions_%E2%99%AFFE&diff=prev&oldid=821662149 here] to start, but there are others including image vandalism). I don't think he possesses the maturity (and possibly the English fluency) to contribute constructively here. --[[User:Laser_brain|<span style="color: purple;">'''Laser brain'''</span>]] [[User_talk:Laser_brain|<span style="color: purple;">(talk)</span>]] 19:10, 5 February 2018 (UTC) |

I saw that the user did strange, erratic, incomprehensible things, - I had reverted one of his page moves (I assume Tomas means male), but didn't remember the name when I returned, - can't remember all names of vandals I revert.

I remember a concert of early music there, when the same man sang both countertenor and bass. - There's a good thread on Eric's talk, where the frustrated meet for letting steam off ;) - Did you know that Eric coined the term "cabal of the outcasts", in 2013? --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt#top|talk]]) 11:40, 18 February 2018 (UTC) |

: Thankyou for the Tchaikowsky "Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt" (Nyet, tolko tot menya). You were lucky to hear such a performance live. I like the old Melodiya version by [[Sergei Lemeshev]] (his alluring measure and sweetness) but of course quite a different affair to your singer's noble account. Why is it (language aside) that Tchaikowsky's setting never really feels like Goethe? Is it Russian pessimism colliding with echt German Welt-angst? Do the Russian lyrics really render the same words? In the English versions, "None but the desolate" beats "None but the lonely heart", but both are entirely inadequate: you don't get that resonance of the desolate ''individual'' such as you also have in "Wer nie sein Brot mit Thränen aß..."[[User:Eebahgum|Eebahgum]] ([[User talk:Eebahgum|talk]]) 13:02, 22 February 2024 (UTC) |

::: (I saw her on stage but with [[User:Gerda Arendt/Images 2024#20 Feb|completely different music]], and as Suzuki, Cherubino and Paolo.) I can't tell for the Russian, but know that some German words and probably concepts have no true expression in English, and "Sehnsucht" is one of them.

I can see your zeal and dedication to classical music, especially that from your compatriots. I myself am a devoted fan of Johann Sebastian since I was 11 and learned my first exercises authored by him. I cannot stop enjoying his music, and among the many performing artists that have made it available to us, I have a special regard for [[Wendy Carlos]] and her extraordinary renderings, particularly her [[Switched-On Brandenburgs]] albums. |

: What you call insanity is just our human condition, described well on this 1510 image. What I do? I was made immune when I survived the first ''pride and prejudice'' when a friend who gave up was banned by the community afterwards. I felt that I didn't belong to such a community, and felt the urge to leave, but then thought that some would just love that, and decided to stay. From then on (we talk October 2012), it was easier to [[User talk:Dreadstar#Impact|ignore ignore ignore]] minor things. Dr. Blofeld has called me a princess and a monster, so I have mixed emotions.

Remembering Easter 300 years ago continues: Bach revived for for his first Easter as [[Thomaskantor]] in Leipzig a masterpiece from his early career, his first chorale cantata, and how different from those to come a few weeks after this. - Per chance, I received the YouTube link today from the conductor who just uploaded it to mark the occasion.

Bach's "Leipzig" Chorale Preludes: Music, Text, Theology'') which is mostly based on Mark Bighley's 1986 book, ''The Lutheran Chorales in the Works of J.S. Bach''. You could also make an English variant of the literal version which doesn't sound too slilted in addition to the King James version. There is also the Latin version, ''Super flumina Babylonis''. There is furthermore an online OUP version of Stinson's "J.S.

Hey Gerda, you may well know this, but [[Cantus Cölln]] just did a concert of the Bach motets BWV 225–230 plus [[Ich lasse dich nicht, BWV Anh. 159]]. I just heard it on the online listening service of [[ABC Classic FM]] via [http://www.abc.net.au/classic/evenings/cantus-c%C3%B6ln-bachs-motets/9507116 this link on their site], and it was incredible! Amazing musicians, amazing music ... just wow all around. Hence why I've been making random tweaks to Bach motet articles. '''[[User:Graham87|Graham]]'''[[User talk:Graham87|<span style="color: green;">87</span>]] 12:25, 13 March 2018 (UTC) |

== A matter of some importance == |

: Thanks for sharing! I performed ''Ich lasse dich nicht'' and ''Der Geist hilft'', and love the others. I heard the cantata mentioned on top last Sunday, a revelation. I loved particularly that [[Johannes Hill|the soloist]] sang with the youth choir, inspiring them! He made a tour singing Bach cantatas with [[Andreas Scholl]] who was at a time also a member of Cantus Cölln, - small world ;) To make the world smaller even, our conductor taught a bit of piano to Scholl so that he could pass the Basel audition. As a token of thank, Scholl came to sing "He was despised" (also on top) with us, and you could have heard a needle fall - all these rests between the stammered words, "despised, rejected", - written by Isiah long ago and still true again and again, sadly. --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt#top|talk]]) 12:57, 13 March 2018 (UTC) |

: I am a personal friend, and was asked by the arbitration committee to say so. I did that on the biography talk page. I created the biography filling a red link in 2009.

|||
: Adding: I read the steps outlined. There's a template. I added the template to the biography and the list of compositions. I doubt that many people will read any of the compositions without also checking the composer (before or after). What are related pages. A person to whom he dedicated a piece? Musicians with whom his father played, in the premiere of Britten's [[War Requiem]]? Those were my first articles in 2009. --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt#top|talk]]) 15:09, 8 April 2024 (UTC) |

::Tried to help and add the template to the top box but feel free to revert if not needed. FWIW, I believe you have edited the article objectively and neutrally. I realize that Having a COI is separate from being biased and I appreciate the steps you are taking to declare a COI. I think it is a beautiful article and I enjoyed reading it. --[[User:ARoseWolf|<span style="color:#b76e79">'''A'''</span><span style="color:#be4f60">'''Rose'''</span>]][[User talk:ARoseWolf|<span style="color:#b87333">'''Wolf'''</span>]] 16:22, 8 April 2024 (UTC) |

::Thank you for your response. The template is not for readers, but for your fellow editors, and as such, it is best practice to place it on any page that is closely associated with him (''[[Der Handschuh (Waterhouse)]]'', ''[[Celtic Voices and Hale Bopp]]'', ''[[Birkenlicht]]''), but no, I think pages such as [[Emanuel Hurwitz]] or [[Andrew Szydlo]] are too far away. |
|||
::A follow-up, if I may: has your "personal friendship" ever become a professional relationship? for example, have you ever been affiliated with Mr Waterhouse's business in any way, or he with you? [[User:AirshipJungleman29|~~ AirshipJungleman29]] ([[User talk:AirshipJungleman29|talk]]) 17:55, 8 April 2024 (UTC) |
|||
::: No. I have no business. - May I ask what the template on a composition article will tell my fellow editors? Hurwitz and Szydlo were not even created by me, - I only updated. My second article was [[Siegfried Palm]] (translated from German, with help from [[Jerome Kohl]]), my third [[Richard Adeney]], and my fourth [[Cecil Aronowitz]]. My first article was deleted within minutes, and revived with the help by [[User:Cmadler]] who knew how important it is to cite awards, and actually went and found sources. He also nominated for DYK, only I didn't like his hook suggestion - what's new? --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt#top|talk]]) 18:18, 8 April 2024 (UTC) |
|||
:::: Yes, I am saying that Hurwitz and Szydlo were too unconnected with Mr Waterhouse for you to need to disclose anything. The template on a composition article will show all your fellow editors that you are honest and open about your connections to the subject. It is a question of trust, if you will. |
|||
::::One last question, if you don't mind: as you have no connection to Mr Waterhouse's business, you are presumably saying that {{redacted}} refers to a different Gerda Arendt {{redacted}}?

|||
::::::So, just to clarify, when I asked "have you ever been affiliated with Mr Waterhouse's business in any way" and you answered "No", what you actually meant was "Yes, I created the website he used to advertise his work for a dozen years and included references to the DYKs I wrote <link removed> for him"? |
|||
:::::But it's fine—it was all "for friendship". Or was it? I seem to find a very similar site <link removed> hosted on the {{redacted}} website. That seems an odd coincidence—but that is all it must be, because "friendship" does not overlap with "Business Consulting", correct? [[User:AirshipJungleman29|~~ AirshipJungleman29]] ([[User talk:AirshipJungleman29|talk]]) 19:08, 8 April 2024 (UTC) |

:::::: Just to clarify, I am not a business consultant, and the person running the @bc website is a different person who is also a personal friend of Graham.

::Nationality is so mixed up now, it's hard to use it as a serious way of seperating people, but we have to have categories I guess. It's merely a strong divisionary tool in modern politics, which can be seen today in countries like Poland and Ukraine, or even the AFD in Germany. As far as that article goes, if they'd added one more nationality, I might've thought it was a hoax. But it was funny when I first came upon it. I see you mention images at my talk. I don't add a px parameter. Should I set the display at 200px/250px? I haven't done much with images, so I have no idea. I'm listening to an aria by Carl Freidrich Abel as I type this. It's called La Belle La Grime, and the soprano is Emma Kirkby. I hope you're listening to some beautiful music too. ;^) [[User talk:On Tangled Paths| <span style="font-variant:small-caps;font-weight:900; color:green;">Tommy Doyle</span>]] 21:45, 17 March 2018 (UTC) |

: Rubbing my eyes further: the question wasn't infobox yes or no (which I would see as an infobox discussion), but whether a composer's compositions belong in it. It came to an RfC, and the result was yes. - I try to avoid infobox discussions, waste of time, a ban wouldn't change much. My post to MyCatIsAChonk was an alert to an ''edit war'' (not a discussion) a few days before that article (to which he contributed) went to the Main page, and said "watch", - not "take part". My post to Barkeep49 was one in a long series of questions trying to understand where the problem is, and how to be understood.

::There's a few things to address here. First, an infobox discussion isn't solely a discussion about if an infobox should be included in an article. Discussions about how to implement an infobox are also infobox discussions. This is similar to a discussion about pizza could be a discussion about if people want to eat pizza, or what type of pizza they would like to eat. Also, there was no edit war, {{u|Nikkimaria}} had reverted the edit you made, and you had already started a discussion. A single revert is not an edit war, but reaching out to someone to ask them to watch an article, even if it was just after a revert without discussion, is canvassing. Even moreso when there is an active discussion on the talk page. Saying "watch" rather than "make an edit supporting me" doesn't provide immunity from canvassing rules. Lastly, the outcome of a discussion also has no bearing on if you violated the canvassing guideline.

|||
::: Please look a bit deeper into the edit history <s>of the article</s> (Sorry, it is too late, and my memory: the following was Vivaldi.) Yes, Nikkimaria reverted only once, but there were four reverts. - Also: I wrote to many people that day, - canvassing (for me at least) would have meant telling all about this. But no, MyCatIsAChonk, because of the upcoming TFA appearance of Appalachian Spring. That was ''an alert'', and if reaching out to someone to be watchful is canvassing we really don't understand the word the same way. A few days later, and happier, I asked ''many people'' how they liked the compromise? [[User:Barkeep49|Barkeep49]], for example, in the same thread as what you linked. - It's past midnight where I live, and it's a funeral day for me, - please excuse me and put things in perspective.

I'm prone to think that a soprano has to be an operatic one unless she specialises in mélodies or operetta. If we discount [[Nina Hagen]] and [[Nena]], all sopranos are operatic ones. I intend to delete the "French sopranos" category and replace it by "French operatic sopranos" unless otherwise stated.

Dear Gerda, Thankyou for your several kind and cheerful messages over the past couple of months. In case you are wondering, I have not slipped off this mortal coil, at least not yet, but have for various reasons given myself a rest from wp. For one thing I am terribly busy with my supercentenarian Mum whose daily needs for attention are many - for another, I have a progressing series of ailments of my own, including Parkinson's, which keep me feeling fairly grotty - but, most influentially, since my last editing efforts, I have a sense of complete futility at editing here when confronted with the sort of criticisms and condescension which provoked my last long reply on my talk page. I haven't got the stomach to rise to the bait. However I am still here and still watching. [[User:Eebahgum|Eebahgum]] ([[User talk:Eebahgum|talk]]) 08:20, 19 April 2024 (UTC) |

I'm responding here instead of the DYK nom page as I don't want to add material after your approval tick. I've added more geographic detail, was that along the lines you were thinking? Regarding the park description, I'm not sure what to add. I'm 11215.86 km away, and so need Google maps to see it. It seems to consist mostly of wooded hills, though there is a playground/football field on the northwest corner. These are not in the reliable sources, though.

my story today:
The 1653 hymn

(Jesus, my joy)
by Johann Franck and Johann Crüger
mentions singing in defiance
of the "old dragon", death, and fear.

2024
I made two cards for the transition from 2023 to 2024:
Bach composed
Die Zeit, die Tag und Jahre macht,
BWV 134a,
as a congratulatory cantata
for the court of Köthen,
first performed
on New Year's Day 1719.
A German theologian wrote
"Vertraut den neuen Wegen"
(Trust the new ways)
to the melody of
Lob Gott getrost mit Singen
(Praise God confidently with singing)
to be sung at a wedding in Eisenach
shortly before the fall of the Wall.
A little child, a little lamb, on a backdrop of war and death: hoping for more peace in 2024! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:38, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
These were my "stories" on 1 January 2024 and 31 December 2023. If you want to follow a daily sentence throughout the year, use {{User Gerda Arendt/Top}}, and for the calendar pictures and the music of the year, see User:Gerda Arendt/Images 2024. Let's stay inspired and connected. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:18, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
2024 · the anniversary of Bach's chorale cantatas
2024 is the anniversary of the Achtliederbuch, the first Lutheran hymnal of 500 years ago, and - possibly related - Bach's cycle of Chorale cantatas 300 years ago. His works and the chorales on which they are based will be a focus for 2024. Ongoing are locations that played a role in my life, recent deaths, music heard and sung, composers, gardens. Watch my user page for articles, done in collaboration. Compare 2023 for the amazing number of users who began and expanded articles. Thanks also to reviewers, and I do plan to review more and write less, and in writing, focus more on quality than the little daily article.
2024 talk begins at #Have a happy New Year, Gerda!, 2024 calender pics and musical events begin here, and the 2024 diary of my own pictures of places, songs, food, flowers ... will come here, - just watch those lists if you are interested.
My talk goes like this: on top there's the "story" related to the day. Below are three boxes, often one for people remembered and two for musical experiences, performing or listening. In these boxes, topics related to the top story and topics featured on the Main page appear bold. Right here you see the image of the month with songs of the month, typically related to meetings with friends who gave them to me. I archive from time. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:35, 1 January 2024 (UTC) - updated order --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:57, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
Have a happy New Year, Gerda!
Belated seasons greetings; great contribution
Belated Christmas greetings and happy new year. I have not sent my usual greetings this season. Coordinator work, preparing a talk for January 2 and real life have me quite busy. I just took better notice of User:Gerda Arendt/Stories. As always, this is another great contribution to the project by you. Donner60 (talk) 22:29, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you, Donner60, and all the best for 2024! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:42, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
Happy New Year!
Dear Gerda, I apologize for not replying to your thoughtful messages. December is usually a busy month for me; this one has been even more so, much of it because of my own doing! But I wanted to let you know that I did read them and that it means very much to me that you took the trouble to think of me, despite my occasional irascibility. (Within me the patrimony of my hot-blooded Italian forebears are ever in conflict with the expressive austerity of my Basque ancestors!) Thank you for everything that you do on here. My sincerest wishes to you for good health and much joy in 2024! :) —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 21:43, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for your personal expression, and have a good curry time in 2024 - brief, off to the village fireworks to come. I just finished my pics of 2023, and it was a good harvest, in the end of many Christmas trees, angels, high water and a flaming sky. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:38, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
Have a wonderful New Year, Gerda!
A year filled with music and song, food and friends, hiking and nature! | |
Hi Gerda Arendt, Best wishes that the new year brings peace, prosperity, health and happiness. |
Netherzone, thank you for a lovely start in the new year, - see my "response" (written before I went to bed).
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! | |
Happy New Year from Martha and I! Appalachian Spring was one of many articles you helped me with this year, and I am beyond grateful for the support and time you've given me in my first full year as an editor. Here's to a new year of composers, compositions, and singers! MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 00:43, 1 January 2024 (UTC) |
- Thank you for the personal greeting, and it's all my pleasure, MyCatIsAChonk. Igor and I. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:02, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
Have a good year in 2024
Make the music and keep up the good work! Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 15:04, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, Peter, for coming over! Same to you! - I try. What do you think of my question here? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:16, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
Happy New Year and Thank You!
Hi Gerda, Just to wish you a Happy New Year and to say that I'm retiring from Wikipedia after a good innings. Thank you for your encouragement and cheerfulness! I will still be contactable via my talk page and have said I'm happy to answer questions there too. Bless you Bermicourt (talk) 18:50, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, sad to see you go, but do what's best for you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:50, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- I'm considering contributing to German Wikipedia instead, but conscious I'm not a native speaker so will need to up my game! Maybe I'll see you there! :) Bermicourt (talk) 17:15, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- Fine, - ping me when you create something to be reviewed. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:36, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
The Original Barnstar | |
I bestow this award to you, Gerda, for being an untiring teacher. Along with creating so many new music articles that the world can enjoy, you also share with me (and others) interesting anecdotes about the music and your life. I really appreciate the learnings from the messages you leave, and as a token of my thanks, this barnstar is for you. Rosiestep (talk) 20:41, 3 January 2024 (UTC) |
- Thank you, Rosie, that's very original and touching! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:42, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Macht hoch die Tür
The article Macht hoch die Tür you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Macht hoch die Tür for comments about the article, and Talk:Macht hoch die Tür/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has never appeared on the Main Page as a "Did you know" item, and has not appeared within the last year either as "Today's featured article", or as a bold link under "In the news" or in the "On this day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear at DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On this day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

A barnstar for you!
The Tireless Contributor Barnstar | |
For all the wonderful things you do for the encyclopedia, especially for spreading friendship, and for bringing music to the main page with your DYK work there. Thank you for being you! Netherzone (talk) 01:00, 11 January 2024 (UTC) |
- Seconding @Netherzone here. I didn't see the post in time to oppose vehemently. But I love what you bring to all areas, especially talk pages since that's where I frequently see you @Gerda Arendt. Thanks for always sharing your passions with us. Star Mississippi 17:59, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
I offer you my deepest apologies Gerda
Hello Gerda. I would just want you to know that I am very sorry for the ANI discussion I started earlier. I had been having some real-life stress lately and it felt like it may have affected my feelings on-wiki. I'm very sorry for the attitude I have shown you over the past few weeks. I very much appreciate your efforts on Wikipedia and your dedication to the project even if we disagree on many things, and I just want to let you know that despite everything that has happened you are still an editor I admire and respect. You are a net positive to DYK and while we may disagree on views, what we can agree on is that your articles are very informative and a net good to the project. Again, I am sorry for what I have done. Rest assured that regardless of our differences I support your efforts on Wikipedia to improve our coverage on classical music and Germany. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:46, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
- I woke up thinking Joy to the world. I tried to bring joy, it's turned into trivia, and I'm accused of bad faith. Travelling now, no time to even look. Before looking, I can't tell if I can accept apologies, which may may be tomorrow. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:52, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
- Narutolovehinata5, still today, I'm on a train, the train has a connection (all things that can't be taken for granted): apologies for attitude accepted, but I hope that it really will change, because I felt it becoming a danger to diversity of information and freedom of speech. For those unfamiliar with the situation: we escalated over the hook for Kihwan Sim, which was replaced in prep against my protest. That hook should not run, it's a triviality said about a living person who deserves merit for specific achievements. - I looked at the thread and found some gems of support there that I will place in my "blushing" cabinet, - thank you, all! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:19, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
- This is not an indictment of Naruto but like others on the AN/I thread I have found that Wikipedia seems to have become more hostile. I suppose one could surmise at least somewhat that it is born out of necessity. We appear to live at a time where I feel my thoughts on life and the way I wish to live life are going the way of faeries and dragons. Nobody cares, love is fleeting, and civility and affording basic human respect are more centered on your position in relation to mine rather than the fact you are a fellow human being. The cruelty is not AN/I or Naruto's position. The cruelty is everything that has led up to it. People are becoming less nice and we are told it is normal, discussions less civil but we are told to accept it. Where is the empathy?
- Gerda, you are a blessing and so precious, my friend. I said it after we first met and I maintain that yours is one the brightest lights I have been so fortunate to meet here. Keep singing, keep shining, keep being you. --ARoseWolf 13:52, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

The Medal for Joy
The medal for bringing joy to Wikipedia | |
The ANI thread was closed by the OP before there could be a formal close by a third party. Reviewing it post-close, I see a strong consensus that you should be awarded a medal for the joy that you bring to Wikipedia. So, here it is - enjoy! And thanks from me personally for all of our past interactions, and all the work you do here. Girth Summit (blether) 19:30, 11 January 2024 (UTC) |
- THIS! Gerda you are a beloved contributor, who first encouraged me to submit a DYK and taught me how the process worked by your kind words, "watch what I do". I've learned so much from you over the years about patience, diplomacy, and of course I appreciate how you generously spread joy, music, food, and nature within this community, and the global community. And personally, you have educated this old-skool rock-n-roller about opera and classical music general. You rock, girl! Thank you, precious! Netherzone (talk) 03:19, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
Upper Bounds
Hi, Gerda, I hope you will forgive me for overstepping my bounds. They are both positive to infinity & beyond. I look forward to seeing your postings online in the future. You do some amazing things around here :) cheers to the 11th & to 2024! Ktochle (talk) 20:49, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

The Music Barnstar | ||
For your hard work on expanding so many articles on musical compositions, hymns, opera and lesser-known singers, and bringing many of them to ITN! Keep up the good work! ChaotıċEnby(t · c) 21:30, 11 January 2024 (UTC) |
DYK for Kihwan Sim
On 12 January 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Kihwan Sim, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Kihwan Sim, a bass-baritone performer at the Oper Frankfurt, learned to play the tuba during his two years of military service? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Kihwan Sim. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Kihwan Sim), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
Aoidh (talk) 00:02, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
Kihwan Sim
Thank you for support, barnstars and recognition. I had a great day with friends and family, and am too tired for individual comments. What brought us here was my DYK nomination for a singer who fascinated me, Template:Did you know nominations/Kihwan Sim, followed by questioning the sourcing for part of the hook together with the suggestion of a completely different hook, WT:DYK#Kihwan Sim. I was away, and didn't see that this new hook, although I objected and explained that I was away, was put in prep. I still object, a) because it says something trivial about him instead of celebrating his achievements, b) because I hate to be held responsible for putting "military" on the Main page. It reached the Main page now. Help?? - I will have no time for Wikipedia today, as yesterday. - For those who believe that our readers are not interested in opera: in the last case of an opera singer, Ryland Davies, more people viewed the opera than the singer. Let's not underestimate our readers, and not censor what we offer them. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 00:11, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
Still little time: I told the story today that I wanted to tell, and the Main page still has the story I think tells too little. Thank you for all support, but the most wanted support would be to change that. The approved version is in the nomination, also a modified hook that was taken to prep. Everybody: don't miss to look and listen, Sim and Guggeis in interview, and the French revolution hints ;) - "Se vuol ballare" --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:47, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
- I totally get your POV and I sympathize, but I think the hook on the main page is quite good. I understand that you think differently. Sometimes when we get really close to a subject, we get a bit of tunnel vision and that's normal. I personally like the idea that we can meet somewhere in the middle. Viriditas (talk) 21:36, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
- Please don't get me wrong: I don't think it was an impossible hook, but it wasn't what I wanted to tell, - I wanted to talk about the first production of our fascinating new GMD, and the title role would have been the best related topic. What I disliked was that it was thrown in prep without consulting me. Also: the world "military" in the hook is really something I don't get behind. - I wanted to mention the French Revolution, and you may have seen the hints, not only in expressive gestures, but also the French flag colours by constellation of the performers for a moment ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:51, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
The Main Page Barnstar
The Main Page Barnstar | ||
Incredibly upset at the recent ANI, both that it existed and that I missed the opportunity to comment in it. However, there's no time limit on giving a barnstar, so better late than never: Gerda, you deserve more barnstars than the WP community could ever pour on you, for both your tireless contributions to the Main Page and article space, but also for indefatigable ability to spread good cheer behind the scenes. Thank you for everything that you do - best wishes, Frzzl talk; contribs 12:43, 14 January 2024 (UTC) |
- Thank you, and don't be upset please about something that seems to clarify things. Thank you for the barnstar and the recognition - much appreciated! - I brought more than 90 names to the News section of the Main page, many more than DYK, and experience much more collegial reviewing in that field. - You can comment in the matter, and more productively than in WP:Great Dismal Swamp: check out my user page and look for articles nominated for DYK, and review or comment there. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:50, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Every time I visit your pages I end up having to learn about a lovely new cantata! Thank you so much for all your work. It's BWV 22 right now – what a gorgeous thing, despite the tragic lack of trumpets.
I have a personally busy time coming up with Bach and some other guy called Handel and some other other guy called Telemann. Should be fun.
Cheers!! DBaK (talk) 19:56, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- Cheers back, listening right now to an opera by the Handel guy (Poro) which Telemann presented as Cleofida in Hamburg in 1732 adding marches he must have enjoyed writing. German recitatives. Never heard. Delightful. - You don't have to come to my page as long you have "story" in a box by me ;) - Our Bach endeavour will be three cantatas!!! 5 May, - come over, plenty of trumpets in BWV 11 ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:23, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
ITN recognition for Seiji Ozawa
On 12 February 2024, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Seiji Ozawa, which you updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. SpencerT•C 05:47, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
12 years
Dear Gerda, thanks for your greeting, which I warmly reciprocate. I have stepped back from wp for the past few months, partly because of pressures at home (caring for supercentenarian mother). But you rightly diagnose the local cause of inactivity and I will strive to take your precious advice to heart. Thanks for noticing, and very best wishes for 2024. So sorry about Seiji Ozawa. Eebahgum (talk) 14:04, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! - I thank Ozawa personally two (mostly) unforgettable matinees in Tanglewood (where children under 5 were not welcome for the concerts, but the dress rehearsals), of Haydn's Die Schöpfung, choir all in white and singing from memory, "Und eine neue Welt" (And a new world) of unearthly lightness, and a Mozart piano concerto with Mitsuko Uchida (forgot which, forgot rest of the program) when all the birds under the roof of the Shed began chirping when the piano entered, and remember how she smiled. - I thank Christoph Eschenbach for a great Verdi Requiem at the same place, and could do so in person after a concert of Bruckner's Sixths, saying that I liked it very much (and it had been 12 years earlier), and he smiled and said "Ich auch". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:19, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- Uchida held us breathless at Snape Maltings a few years ago with a solo concert of the three final Beethoven sonatas. It seems somehow improper to comment on such a comprehensively personal and dynamically brilliant exposition, but we certainly felt the warmth of the pedalling building the whole conception. It was terrific Beethoven! Your mention of the chirping birds reminds me of an open air evening concert in the Forum in Rome back in 1977 - it was Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, and every time the horns came in, all the wild cats that live in the Forum responded by yowling together in a loud chorus after a moment's delay. Whether they liked it or not I don't know, but it touched something in their souls, for the effect came back a couple of times as if it had been written into Sonata Form. Happy cats! Eebahgum (talk) 01:27, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

My story was different, mentioning the Music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky:
Tamara Milashkina,
the first Soviet Russian soprano trained at La Scala,
portrayed Russian characters
with emotion and authenticity
touring with the Bolshoi Theatre
as Tchaikovsky's Tatyana at the Vienna State Opera
and as Lisa at the Metropolitan Opera.

- Thankyou for the Tchaikowsky "Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt" (Nyet, tolko tot menya). You were lucky to hear such a performance live. I like the old Melodiya version by Sergei Lemeshev (his alluring measure and sweetness) but of course quite a different affair to your singer's noble account. Why is it (language aside) that Tchaikowsky's setting never really feels like Goethe? Is it Russian pessimism colliding with echt German Welt-angst? Do the Russian lyrics really render the same words? In the English versions, "None but the desolate" beats "None but the lonely heart", but both are entirely inadequate: you don't get that resonance of the desolate individual such as you also have in "Wer nie sein Brot mit Thränen aß..."Eebahgum (talk) 13:02, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- (I saw her on stage but with completely different music, and as Suzuki, Cherubino and Paolo.) I can't tell for the Russian, but know that some German words and probably concepts have no true expression in English, and "Sehnsucht" is one of them. Music, however, is much more internationally understood. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:31, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

... that on Good Friday 2020,
Benedikt Kristjánsson
sang all roles in a chamber arrangement of
Bach's St John Passion,
composed for Good Friday 1724,
broadcast live from the composer's burial place.
I remember listening to the performance live, early in the lockdown, the festival cancelled when it had be scheduled to be performed ...

Easter Sunday
For Easter 1724,
his first as Thomaskantor in Leipzig,
Johann Sebastian Bach revived
Christ lag in Todes Banden,
(Christ lay in death's bonds)
BWV 4,
a chorale cantata
he had composed in his twenties,
using in all seven movements
the words and tune
of Luther's 1524 Easter chorale.
Remembering Easter 300 years ago continues: Bach revived for for his first Easter as Thomaskantor in Leipzig a masterpiece from his early career, his first chorale cantata, and how different from those to come a few weeks after this. - Per chance, I received the YouTube link today from the conductor who just uploaded it to mark the occasion. I sang with the Idsteiner Solisten several times but not in that performance. You can follow the music! - I also uploaded more images, from a tropical garden and a famous nearby church. Happy Easter! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:55, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
Easter Monday
The opening chorus of
Bach's cantata
for the Second Day of Easter,
Erfreut euch, ihr Herzen, BWV 66,
first performed in 1724
has been termed
"one of the longest and
most exhilarating of Bach's early works".
... and the following day, Leipzig could listen to "exhilarating" music which we performed in 2000, with great joy. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:55, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

- Adding: I read the steps outlined. There's a template. I added the template to the biography and the list of compositions. I doubt that many people will read any of the compositions without also checking the composer (before or after). What are related pages. A person to whom he dedicated a piece? Musicians with whom his father played, in the premiere of Britten's War Requiem? Those were my first articles in 2009. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:09, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- Tried to help and add the template to the top box but feel free to revert if not needed. FWIW, I believe you have edited the article objectively and neutrally. I realize that Having a COI is separate from being biased and I appreciate the steps you are taking to declare a COI. I think it is a beautiful article and I enjoyed reading it. --ARoseWolf 16:22, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for your response. The template is not for readers, but for your fellow editors, and as such, it is best practice to place it on any page that is closely associated with him (Der Handschuh (Waterhouse), Celtic Voices and Hale Bopp, Birkenlicht), but no, I think pages such as Emanuel Hurwitz or Andrew Szydlo are too far away.
- A follow-up, if I may: has your "personal friendship" ever become a professional relationship? for example, have you ever been affiliated with Mr Waterhouse's business in any way, or he with you? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 17:55, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- No. I have no business. - May I ask what the template on a composition article will tell my fellow editors? Hurwitz and Szydlo were not even created by me, - I only updated. My second article was Siegfried Palm (translated from German, with help from Jerome Kohl), my third Richard Adeney, and my fourth Cecil Aronowitz. My first article was deleted within minutes, and revived with the help by User:Cmadler who knew how important it is to cite awards, and actually went and found sources. He also nominated for DYK, only I didn't like his hook suggestion - what's new? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:18, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, I am saying that Hurwitz and Szydlo were too unconnected with Mr Waterhouse for you to need to disclose anything. The template on a composition article will show all your fellow editors that you are honest and open about your connections to the subject. It is a question of trust, if you will.
- One last question, if you don't mind: as you have no connection to Mr Waterhouse's business, you are presumably saying that (Redacted) refers to a different Gerda Arendt (Redacted)? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 18:30, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- I made him a website for friendship, and he doesn't use it any more. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:42, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- So, just to clarify, when I asked "have you ever been affiliated with Mr Waterhouse's business in any way" and you answered "No", what you actually meant was "Yes, I created the website he used to advertise his work for a dozen years and included references to the DYKs I wrote <link removed> for him"?
- But it's fine—it was all "for friendship". Or was it? I seem to find a very similar site <link removed> hosted on the (Redacted) website. That seems an odd coincidence—but that is all it must be, because "friendship" does not overlap with "Business Consulting", correct? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:08, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- Just to clarify, I am not a business consultant, and the person running the @bc website is a different person who is also a personal friend of Graham.

This was the music and memory section on 9 April: arms raised, while Marian Anderson's concert was remembered and Hildegard of Bingen's Physica reflected, - joy to the world! We see the "rock abbot" with his band, a church designed by some of the handicapped using it, and the Youth Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine led by the inspiring Oksana Lyniv. Don't miss the Halleluja video ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:18, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
Seen User talk:Wifione
Hi, you removed a notice from User talk:Wifione mentioning seen, are you User:Wifione?? I do not understand. Thanks, Please feel free to ping/mention -- User4edits (T) 11:09, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- That account is indeffed, - what will notes be good for? I - talk page stalker - have seen it, have decided that it can be deleted without problem, - no need to clutter the talk page further. I removed 2 notices for that user. I do the same for other blocked or retired users, and have been thanked for that ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:16, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- Bit odd, as another logic could be what will the removal be good for? Anyway, Thanks, Please feel free to ping/mention -- User4edits (T) 11:24, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- Also, I hope you understand my POV, as when someone "seen" and blanking they would assume that it is done by/behalf of the user concerned. Thanks, Please feel free to ping/mention -- User4edits (T) 11:25, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- I saw the removals for User talk:BrownHairedGirl, sometimes several per day. Clutter of the talk, imho. The notice is good if someone reacts and goes to the discussion. If nothing happens it's good for nothing, of for what? - Agreed, ideally I should wait a week for others to see and perhaps react, but I'm sure I'll forget ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:15, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Canvassing
Please do not canvas editors to discussions on infoboxes as you did here and here, or you will be topic banned from infobox discussions. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:57, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- Rubbing my eyes further: the question wasn't infobox yes or no (which I would see as an infobox discussion), but whether a composer's compositions belong in it. It came to an RfC, and the result was yes. - I try to avoid infobox discussions, waste of time, a ban wouldn't change much. My post to MyCatIsAChonk was an alert to an edit war (not a discussion) a few days before that article (to which he contributed) went to the Main page, and said "watch", - not "take part". My post to Barkeep49 was one in a long series of questions trying to understand where the problem is, and how to be understood. Both users expressed satisfaction with the outcome, DYK? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:08, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- @ScottishFinnishRadish Frankly, this warning is ridiculous and it's certainly not in good faith. Nemov (talk) 21:06, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- Nemov, this is serious AE stuff. - I've been there before, ScottishFinnishRadish. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:25, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- There's a few things to address here. First, an infobox discussion isn't solely a discussion about if an infobox should be included in an article. Discussions about how to implement an infobox are also infobox discussions. This is similar to a discussion about pizza could be a discussion about if people want to eat pizza, or what type of pizza they would like to eat. Also, there was no edit war, Nikkimaria had reverted the edit you made, and you had already started a discussion. A single revert is not an edit war, but reaching out to someone to ask them to watch an article, even if it was just after a revert without discussion, is canvassing. Even moreso when there is an active discussion on the talk page. Saying "watch" rather than "make an edit supporting me" doesn't provide immunity from canvassing rules. Lastly, the outcome of a discussion also has no bearing on if you violated the canvassing guideline. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 21:59, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- Please look a bit deeper into the edit history
of the article(Sorry, it is too late, and my memory: the following was Vivaldi.) Yes, Nikkimaria reverted only once, but there were four reverts. - Also: I wrote to many people that day, - canvassing (for me at least) would have meant telling all about this. But no, MyCatIsAChonk, because of the upcoming TFA appearance of Appalachian Spring. That was an alert, and if reaching out to someone to be watchful is canvassing we really don't understand the word the same way. A few days later, and happier, I asked many people how they liked the compromise? Barkeep49, for example, in the same thread as what you linked. - It's past midnight where I live, and it's a funeral day for me, - please excuse me and put things in perspective. For example achieve more compromise. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:46, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

"Not dead, but very wet"
Dear Gerda, Thankyou for your several kind and cheerful messages over the past couple of months. In case you are wondering, I have not slipped off this mortal coil, at least not yet, but have for various reasons given myself a rest from wp. For one thing I am terribly busy with my supercentenarian Mum whose daily needs for attention are many - for another, I have a progressing series of ailments of my own, including Parkinson's, which keep me feeling fairly grotty - but, most influentially, since my last editing efforts, I have a sense of complete futility at editing here when confronted with the sort of criticisms and condescension which provoked my last long reply on my talk page. I haven't got the stomach to rise to the bait. However I am still here and still watching. Eebahgum (talk) 08:20, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, and no, I grant every friend long silences ;) - best wishes for you and your mother! Please keep reading - I provide my daily stories thinking of people like you. I was in the performance mentioned today (with trailer), - in 2018 DYK made that possible, but 2024 is a different troupe. I carry my load of condescension (see above) but it doesn't keep me from proclaiming the miracle that music is. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:28, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

OTD note
Hi Gerda. Good to see that you're helping rotate OTD items. A note about your edit to May 5: when removing an image, remember to put it back into the staging area, so it can be reused in the future. Also comment out the "(pictured)" text—don't delete it—so editors know in the future that there is an image available for that item. Don't worry, I've made the changes already. Also note this discussion at ERRORS about the image's display text (you had left "A depiction of the Battle of the Wilderness"). Thanks.—Bagumba (talk) 11:15, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

why a change from Zurich to Zürich (not by me) wasn't simply accepted
is a discussion related to the MOS. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:56, 8 May 2024 (UTC)- How? Zurich is acceptable, and Zürich is acceptable, and Zürich Opera House is better than both, and Zürcher Stadttheater might be best as the historic name at the time. All could go home and do something worth arguing about. No? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:01, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
