April music

story · music · places

I like to see Appalachian Spring on the Main page today (not by me, just interested and reviewed, and a bit proud that I brought the woman's pic to lead and Main page), and I also made it my story. - How do you like the statue (see places)? I was undecided so show three versions ;) -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 17:29, 6 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Happy April! Yes, I like the statue. I'd never heard of Hildegard before. BTW, since we're talking about Copland, I just noticed the state of Rodeo – yikes! Going on my to-do list... DanCherek ( talk) 20:15, 6 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Hildegard is a local hero, venerated as a woman who contradicted the pope, composed music and wrote recipes for healthy food long before she was officially a saint. I knew from the artist that the model for the statue was a ballet dancer from Berlin, and then wrote about Steffi Scherzer and noticed something. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 20:27, 6 April 2024 (UTC) reply
As it happens, Hildegard's Physica is on the Main page today, and Marian Anderson as my top story (by NBC, 1939), and below on my talk three people with raised arms, - and the place is the cherry blossom in Frauenstein -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 14:52, 9 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Very nice! We just had the cherry blossoms where I live, in full bloom a couple weeks ago, but they're all gone now. DanCherek ( talk) 23:48, 9 April 2024 (UTC) reply
now plum tree blossom, for Kalevi Kiviniemi in the snow - see my talk -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 20:40, 11 April 2024 (UTC) reply
My story today is about a piece composed for the Second Sunday after Easter 300 years ago (listen!), and I just returned from a (long) opera about the same age, with soprano Pretty Yende -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 23:01, 14 April 2024 (UTC) reply
relief: the last of six RD articles in one week is now on the Main page. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 19:12, 18 April 2024 (UTC) reply
followed by two birthdays in a row, and I prefer those (see my talk) -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 09:07, 20 April 2024 (UTC) reply
images of a flock of sheep that I met by chance on the 300th birthday of cantata Du Hirte Israel, höre, BWV 104 -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 19:34, 21 April 2024 (UTC) reply
today a sad task - memory of Andrew Davis - turned into entertainment (yt at the bottom of his article, actually both) -- the latest pictures capture extreme weather -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:52, 23 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Love the sheep! DanCherek ( talk) 22:37, 24 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Question from DivineGaby (14:39, 18 April 2024)

Hello. I hope you are doing well. I have an inquiry about editing about a person who has little sources of information talking about her. How do I go about it. -- DivineGaby ( talk) 14:39, 18 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi DivineGaby, is this about an existing article or one that you want to create? In general, the extent of significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources is how notability is determined, so if there is too little existing information, it could be an indicator that there is not enough to merit an article at this time. But it's hard to generalize, so if you have a specific topic in mind, that would be helpful. DanCherek ( talk) 03:09, 19 April 2024 (UTC) reply
Hello DanCherek.
Thank you for the insight,I'm editing an article about Margaret Trowell as one of the presidents of the Uganda Society DivineGaby ( talk) 20:37, 19 April 2024 (UTC) reply
@ DivineGaby: Thanks! Yeah, there's definitely enough to establish notability and I see you've already cited some good sources, like the Court article. Here are a few more I found from a quick search that might be helpful: [1] [2]. Anyways, my advice would be to just go through all of the relevant sources you can find and add whatever information you find about her. It's okay if some parts are not as comprehensive as others if the sourcing isn't there – that can always be challenging when writing about historical people.

Bone Segment Navigation

Hello DanCherek. Thank you for moderating. However, the statements under 'Clinical use of Bone Segment Navigation' are wrong as the literature I cited shows. The previous methods of Watzinger and Cutting don't meet the criteria of Bone Segment Navigation. How can I solve this without citing the literature? With my kindest regards MedTech ( talk) 05:11, 25 April 2024 (UTC) reply
