Happy New Year, Gerda Arendt! You are receiving this barnstar because, according to this Wikipedia database query, you were the #3 most thanked Wikipedian of 2019, with 1418 entries in Special:Log/thanks during 2019. Congratulations, and, well, thank you for your contributions! Cheers to 2020. Mz7 ( talk) 01:12, 1 January 2020 (UTC) |
I hope that visions for 2020 will be as successful as the thanks in 2019:
... that missed friends return (... banned, blocked for no good reason, just given up ...)
... that edit-warring is replaced by discussion - I am on voluntary 1RR
... that people realise when they dominate a discussion too much - I try to stick to 2 comments
... that infoboxes added in good faith (now or in the past) are not regarded as vandalism
... that we'll live up to the legacy of Brian Boulton, in article creation ( Percy Grainger and Lost operas by Claudio Monteverdi coming to mind), reviewing the work of others, willingness to seek compromise, and respectful attitude
... or in summary: that good faith and IAR are applied more generally, - just look at Ray's Rules and "go on with life, have a laugh, don't get too upset over this".
* Happy Holidays, Gerda Arendt! * | ||

Replying to your suggestion:
The BWV 36 article currently has:
I'd write (ideally) something like this:
Or, simplified format:
Now, suppose that
www
If the website works, the third actually has an advantage for those who don't understand German: it sets the language of the linked page to "English", which is preferable for English-language Wikipedia, even if, currently, the English-language version of most of the website's pages is still rather a mixture of German and English. The English of these pages might improve over time; the title of these pages might change (like many did in 2018, and many more will likely this year, that is, if the Bach Archive keeps its promise to publish the new version of the BWV this year).
Further, the pages of the Bach Digital website work with a "static URL", "static" meaning that that is the only content of the page *which will never be modified*. The {{ BDW}} template, which I use in the simplified format (3rd example above), starts from this principle: if that is the only content of the page that will always be the same, then the static url's characteristic number (i.e. the number that defines the page that is being used as reference) is all that should be shown when linking to it from Wikipedia. That is another advantage of the simplified format: one does not need to revisit the visible part of the Wikipedia link when the title of the Bach Digital page changes (thus always, whatever happens, error-free as link – which can not be said of the first format above).
In short:
Thanks. -- Francis Schonken ( talk) 15:25, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi Gerda,
As you may be familiar, I write and improve articles primarily about radio stations, and lately I've been teaming up with my friend Nathan Obral on several projects. One of those article improvements, KWKW, has grown quite beyond a sprucing up into a more than 5x expansion, and the article now stands at more than 37,000 prose characters citing more than 170 sources. We would like to proceed with nominating the article as an FA candidate but have no experience in the realm whatsoever, and because a significant portion of the article is about this radio station's time as KFAC—the preeminent classical music broadcaster in Los Angeles for 40 years—we thought you would make a good fit as a mentor. Articles of this length on U.S. radio stations are exceedingly rare— WINC (AM) is the only comparable FA, and there are several GAs as well.
We've completed the expansion and the page will also be nominated for DYK, but we're hoping that you would be willing to assist us in the FAC process. Raymie ( t • c) 06:28, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi Gerda,
I have a problem with Am Grabe, WAB 2. The single complete recording of the original version of the song is by the Wagner Society Male Choir of Japan, 11 December 1988, that can be heard on YouTube: Am Grabe, WAB 2.
However, the choir used another (modernised?) text. I have asked them where I could find this text, but I got no answer... I have looked at several sources and sites, but I have not found this text or the score that they had used.
You are German speaking. Therefore, I would be you very grateful if you could listen to this recording and transcribe the used text.
Many thanks in advance, -- Réginald alias Meneerke bloem ( To reply) 11:41, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello Gerda Arendt, Bearcat proposed the article for deletion because it does not contain enough independent sources. So I removed one of the original 4 sources and then added 17 new ones.
The discussion about the possible deletion at /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Backun_Musical_Services doesn't seem to interest anyone except Bearcat and me. Could you perhaps enrich it with a small contribution, which of course should ensure that the article with the now 20 references is preserved.

Hallo Gerda Arendt, Lotje hat am 27.1. die von mir sorgfältig gestalteten Texte von 16 Refs geändert, und zwar mit dem Hinweis: Filled in 16 bare reference(s) with reFill 2
Ich halte das für eine wesentliche Verschlechterung des Artikels. Dazu zunächst nur das Beispiel Ralf Forster. Im Artikeltext wird er als Lehrer genannt. Es gibt über ihn keinen WP Artikel. Daher wollte ich ihn in einer Fußnote (5) vorstellen. Die URL lautete:
https://www.konzerthaus.de/de/besetzung-konzerthausorchester-berlin-new/prof-ralf-forster/224
Als Text erschien in der Fußnote: “Konzerthausorchester Berlin, introduction of Ralf Forster, solo clarinetist and professor”
Jetzt lautet die URL: https://www.konzerthaus.de/de/besetzung-konzerthausorchester-berlin
Sie ist also verkürzt und sieht anders aus. Der neue nichtssagende Text, ohne jeden Bezug zu Forster: “m i r media-Digital Agency-. Besetzung Konzerthaus Berlin“

Dear Gerda, Thank you for trying to help teach me in editing this article and Wikipedia articles in general. But what I have learned is that it is just too time consuming to do the work I did and have it undone without most of it being read. I really should just stay off Wikipedia. I find that the facts are important, of course, but the secondary teaching that happens inadvertantly all over Wikipedia, the promulgation of poor grammar leading to misconstrued information, and teaching people poor grammar skills by what has been published, and the difficulty of correcting that and having those corrections accepted, are just not worth the time and effort that this back-and-forth takes. Even the 'rules' of Wikipedia hamper that process. As one example of many, to be forbidden to use Clara Schumann's first name for clarity and distinction from Robert, on the basis that it is meant for juveniles with yet-to-be-completed identities, and instead having to use her married surname because of the Wikipedia standard and rule is just demeaning to women who lost and continue to lose part of their identity in becoming the named property of their male spouse. This and the rest is a process to which I don't want to contribute. And it is overwhelming enough in its scope that I don't want to re-visit and re-do what I have done. Glad you accepted one or two of my recommendations. Thank you...

Jesu, meine Freude, BWV 227 |
Thank you, El C, Piotrus and Camdan, and let's do that, be united in forwarding respect, - inviting also SilkTork and Jerome Kohl, and whoever is interested, to avoid similar discussions all over the place ;)
Today is Bach's birthday, DYK? I love his music, and one piece particularly, Jesu, meine Freude, BWV 227. It mentions joy (Freude, remember Beethoven?) in the first sentence, which is repeated at the very end, so joy gets the last word, in a motet possibly intended for a funeral. For me, it became a song of singing in defiance (you know, this wonderful line "... rage, world, ... I stand here and sing ..."). I sang it first when my grandfather was buried. I sang it here when I felt treated unfairly. (I could have left Wikipedia, but stubbornly stayed.) I sing it now to myself when all singing together was stopped.
On Bach's birthday in 2013, I suggested to have an infobox for the composer. I came from Robert Stoepel, where a discussion (still on the talk) had led to accepting one, and I meant it as a birthday gift for Bach. Not only was it not welcome, - it was seen as an action on battleground, and I was formally sentenced for that by our highest "court". This year's birthday gift for Bach is hopefully less controversial: expand the motet article. Please, all: write content instead of argueing, united in respect.
Back to Malik: I left notices on his talk, the former time and now. Different people react differently to feeling treated unfairly. I am happy about every single one who returns to here, to build something together. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:21, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

Thank you very much, Gerda, for the prize. It means much to me (some would say "Mastercard? Priceless!"). It shows that there are people who view, see and recognize the effort and contribution of other people. My contribution is not too big, but I do my best and I use all of my free time to contribute. Unfortunately, there are users who don't share your opinion, as you can see on my pages. During its long history, Croatia and its people fought (physically, politically and culturally) alomost all the time for its territory as well as for its identity in the world. This battle obviously isn't over yet. Thanks once more. -- Silve rije 00:31, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi!
I noticed some inconsistencies with Monteverdi on Wikipedia that I thought you might be able to help me address since you had nominated him for a TFA. The Monteverdi article itself is of course very well written, what I was confused by is the Venetian School article. Is Monteverdi considered a member of that school?
His name is in the (very incomplete) Template:Venetian School (music) but is not on the Venetian School page (although there seems to be a source about him in the references) and he is not categorized in The Venetian School Category either. Additionally it doesn't say anywhere in the lead (or the article itself I think) for him that he was part of the school. To the best of my knowledge I thought Monteverdi was one of the last members of this school so should the school mention him/he be mentioned in these places? I may be incorrect about this.

Citation style was changed to now use |ref=harv as default. If you use the Ucucha script to detect harv errors, you'll get massive error messages.

I am not sure if I am actually back or not, but I must say that arbitration has gone a long way toward restoring my faith in Wikipedia. It was a difficult experience, and it was good for me to see the many others who shared it--to see they were pretty much all women--to know that wasn't just me being crazy paranoid--that it wasn't just me. Gerda, thank you for your support and understanding. There aren't enough words to explain how much that has meant to me. But it's done now, and I can put it all behind me. I haven't gotten up the nerve to ask for the restoration of my user page yet, but I'm chewing over the possibility, since he can ask to come back again in a year. His record on targeting people is worrisome. But that's for another day. I have a year! So I am working on getting the flags removed from one article. I will try to take it slow and see how it goes.

You always do so in a reasonable manner and I appreciate that.

I don't intentionally copy but I would transfer things to my sandbox and work on them there and apparently fail to recognize that I hadn't changed everything. So now I feel stupid but at least I'm not doing that anymore!! Such a puppy, I know.

Hi Gerda! I didn't want to go on at length in the FA discussion, but for what is is worth, my rationale was:
If, for example, we were talking of the Pastoral Symphony and then referred to it, for short, as Symphony - e.g. "Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony is very nice. The Symphony is a great favourite with audiences", it would be right (I think) to have the second appearance of Symphony in italics (because there is an understood elision of Pastoral), and beacuse it's that particular symphony you are referring to. Admittedly there would be no italics if we were talking about the First Symphony (in which case, second time round, there would still of course be a capital letter). If we were to say "Beeethoven's Pastoral Symphony is very nice. The symphony was a form he was good at." there would of course be no italics (or capital) second time round. I don't think one can easily formulate a rule about this, save to suggest that repetitions of a title, even if curtailed, should be in the same format as the full title. You could ask the other contributors what they think, so that you have an explicit consensus to refer to, otherwise passing editors will always be changing it back and forth.-- Smerus ( talk) 21:57, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

There are surely quite a few hymns based on Psalm 100 but I don't think listing the other variants in each article about such a hymn is relevant.

Gerda, I've been quite busy the past couple of days but am now back preparing to continue pursuing the Featured topic nomination. I don't know if you saw but I brought up the inclusion of Monteverdi's article itself on the Featured topic questions page and a user who has done quite a few Featured topics advised not to include Monteverdi's article since the topic is "Operas by Claudio Monteverdi" and Monteverdi himself is of course not an opera, which makes sense to me.
Anyways before I nominate I still need to alter the referencing style on Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria and L'incoronazione di Poppea to match the rest of the articles. In the meantime, I wonder if you have any thoughts on what a blurb for the topic would look like as the criteria requires one. The criteria says that the blurb can be a shortened version of the lead article of the topic (In this case List of operas by Claudio Monteverdi) and gives this one is given as an example. So how does it sound just using the first paragraph of the list? (Slightly altered)
" Claudio Monteverdi (1567–1643) wrote several works for the stage between 1604 and 1643, including ten works of the then-emerging opera genre. For three of these, the music and libretto are extant: L'Orfeo (1607), Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria (1640), and L'incoronazione di Poppea (1643). Seven other opera projects are known, of which four were completed and performed during Monteverdi's lifetime, while he abandoned the other three at some point. The libretto has survived for some of these lost operas and fragments of the music for L'Arianna."

Innocently logging onto WP now and finding this subject at the top of my Watchlist, I was curious to look at the discussion. In partial answer to your question, it has been my general impression (from records, etc, rather than from WP guidance) that a sonata or concerto for a single solo instrument generally states the instrument first, as Piano Sonata in D-flat major, D 568 (Schubert), whereas if it's for multiple instruments (or players), it would usually take the form of Sonata in C major for piano four-hands, D 812 (Schubert). The same distinction would apply to Flute Sonata in C major, BWV 1033 as opposed to Sonata in G major for two flutes and basso continuo, BWV 1039. Also, it's my general impression that both K. and BWV tend to be more widely known and recognized than D, at least by English speakers. But I have no idea about capitalization being inconsistent.
I was appalled at the rudeness I found in that discussion; and was similarly appalled to find in that user's archive that he had made revisions to guidelines with no prior discussion. Nulle Bastardo Carborundum. [Look it up.]

I'd say Bacchus (opera) because the article is weakest and I already found some good sources: https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b530487303/f7.image.r=Bacchus%201909 - if translated - would vastly improve the article with a sourced plot summary, which it very much lacks - plus, we have the set designs for almost all the scenes. There's also https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b8405793p.r=Bacchus%20Massenet?rk=107296;4 as a source.

Your recent editing history at Psalm 149 shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
Really, use the article's talk page instead of edit summaries for discussing if you don't agree. -- Francis Schonken ( talk) 13:51, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
Note that England is not a state, it's a component part of the UK. If I wrote something like "Napoleon decided to leave Seine-Maritime", a reader would rightly make the assumption that he was not necessarily leaving France. English people - and indeed people from other countries - often make the error of thinking that England is synonymous with the UK. It's not. Britten didn't leave England, he left the country altogether. The amendment was an uncontroversial correction. Deb ( talk) 17:22, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

It is perhaps odd that I'm coming back to this :) But I'm convinced we don't need the key above the table. We only added it because we removed the description section but everytime I go to the article I see this bulky key that is half the size of the table. I think that the headings are pretty self explanatory and the only "key" needed includes the "survived - fragments - libretto - lost" part - this can be solved by using "hover titles" on the other columns (like I have been in List of works by Leonardo da Vinci, if you hover over a column title).

Claudio Monteverdi (1567–1643) composed ten operas, a genre that emerged while he was a court musician in Mantua. His first opera, L'Orfeo, premiered in 1607 and became the first opera still in today's repertoire. The music for seven of his opera projects is mostly lost. Four of these were completed and performed, while he abandoned the others at some point. Libretti have survived for some of them, as well as fragments of the music for L'Arianna and Proserpina rapita. Monteverdi composed operas for a theatre in Venice when he was master of music at San Marco, including Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria in 1640 and L'incoronazione di Poppea in 1643, both of which also remain in the repertoire. ( This list is part of a featured topic: Operas by Claudio Monteverdi.)

Magnificat from the alto
partbook of Monteverdi's Vespro della Beata Vergine kept in the Vatican Library |
This article is about the Vespers for the Blessed Virgin, or Vespers of 1610, by Claudio Monteverdi. His opera L'Orfeo, premiered in 1607, is the first opera still widely performed, and the Vespers are similarly exceptional. Monteverdi, aspiring to a better positiom than court musician in Mantua, demonstrated the broad range of his abilities, writing with a post in Rome in mind, but instead went to San Marco, Venice, a few years later. We don't know if the music was ever performed completely during his lifetime, nor if he actually expected it to be performed that way. Certainly musicologists and musicians have been fascinated from the 20th century on. Monteverdi set much more text than the usual 5 psalms + Magnificat, and required a 10-part choir in one psalm, and a rich orchestra. He combined the ever-present Gregorian chant with dramatic and virtuoso elements from the emerging opera, and offered a great diversity in musical styles and expression. Here is a short introduction, - in the background you hear an extreme performance, a recording which renders only the music Monteverdi wrote (and no additions to make it a proper liturgical vespers service), with 10 singers, and soloists for all instruments. I heard them in concert at the Rheingau Musik Festival which will be missed this year.
The article is the work of many over many years ... The main inspiration came from Brian Boulton who wrote the articles about the composer and his operas, and who generously left me the sources he had collected, the greatest honour I received in my ten years here. ( from the FAC)
( 1 September 2020 - 1 September was the day of the dedication in 1610, and of our concert in 2019)

What a huge huge loss. I didn't even know him that well, but I am devastated. DBaK ( talk) 08:57, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
While I agree with the sentiments of this post, I think it's worth quoting a bit of Wikipedia:Ignore all dramas : "Say something there only if you can say it well and politely, and it helps all concerned, causing no further harm." I have to say that for those who understand what you mean, you're telling them something they already know, and for those who don't (or don't want to), you're just going to antagonise them : "none so deaf as those who will not hear". Let those who want to tear each other's heads off do so and go about your business improving the encyclopedia; hopefully when the dust is settled around the charred remains of burned-out editors, some may think "you know what, we really should have looked at that picture of a kitten after all".

It crossed my mind further that perhaps I should not be silent about being just an observer of the infobox wars (or however they might be called). I was wounded, and had enough, deciding to step away in 2015. - Let's look at the current discussion. It could have been so short. Nominator presents reasoning per the MoS to uncollaps an infobox, asking for good reasons not to follow the MoS in the specific case. There are no good (= factual) reasons. So instead, we argue about not so good reasons, on several noticeboards, with rising heat. I try to be silent but sometimes the level of frustration is too high. It's a complete waste of everybody's time. The simple answer to a good proposal could be "Why not?" - The Autobahnkirche Siegerland is a place for silence.

ObMusic: I have subscribed for commissions from Gabriel Jackson and Peter Maxwell Davies. My dearest friend is a Dutchman, music director of the Westerkerk in Amsterdam. He taught me to love the music of Vic Nees, Ton de Leeuw and Daan Manneke (and of course, Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck) alongside that of Bach, Biber and Brahms. Solang es Menschen gibt auf Erden delights me in every way, though it will probably never displace spem in alium (better than the Striggio 40-part mass) or Ein Deutsches Requiem, which I think is the greatest chorlied ever written - I would rate den alles fleisch above the Lacrymosa of Mozart and even rivalling Bach's Singet despite my notorious soft spot for that. Anecdote: I have a friend who had never been to a classical concert. I had a spare ticket for the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus [a friend sang with them] for a concert conducted by Jiří Bělohlávek; the first half was Martinu (obvs) and the second half the Deutsches Requiem. It was a delight to see Kim literally on the edge of his seat, captivated and ultimately blown away by the sheer emotional intensity of the Brahms. Honestly, I prefer the four-hands piano reduction, but it was a privilege to introduce someone to the full experience. Denn alles Fleisch is 100% on my Desert Island Discs list. Real heart on sleeve stuff.

Gerda is busy, may I offer some comments in her place? Many of these are small changes that I could just make, but I gather you are a relatively new editor (sort of: 8 years, but under 1000 edits), so doing it yourself will help you learn.
All in all, a good start of an article, thank you for contributing to the encyclopedia! -- GRuban ( talk) 16:09, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi Gerda, Out of the 60+ female composers I have profiled so far, no one has received as many scholarships/fellowships as Norma! She got her undergraduate degree at Bethany College on scholarship, received fellowships to Tanglewood and to the Wellesley Composers Conference, a Fulbright scholarship to study in Europe, and residential fellowships to the MacDowell Colony and to the Huntington Hartford Foundation.
Other interesting female composers include Hilda Wilson (who published music under a man's name, "Douglas Hope") and Ann Wyeth McCoy of the famous N.C. Wyeth family. At least one of her compositions was performed by the Boston Symphony.

I remember your request about a text in French that could contain information worth adding to the English article. Actually, comparing the two versions, would have been a very heavy load of work (not withstanding the copyvio issues) so I just added the French text as a reference. Considering that the French article weighs over 170 ko against a paltry 13 ko in English and even less in German, this is a situation where I prefer to upend the whole thing by translation the original French article. Hope you undestand my position. Always ready for another commission though.
I also notice that you sometimes link to YouTube when I was told it wasn't accepted. So which is which ?

Hi, I agree I think we have a problem with changes made to the article since it was put on hold. As reviewer/nominator I want to tell the editor to allow us both to complete the review before such changes are made, as I don't wish to go right through the GAN process for this article twice. Fyi the only remaining points to address before passing were:
I've tried my luck at this one but have met unexpected problems... I can't drop the "(1)" from the title for example. Also, I'm very tired and not fit to complete the task right now. Yet, the bulk of the work has been done. LouisAlain ( talk) 10:33, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Perhaps you are another nice person on Wikipedia. Kohl was a very impressive resource who I could count on to add reason to a discussion without any expectation that he would agree with me. Thus he is in my network of trust (however, I have once been accussed of canvassing for saying, only to Kohl, "hey, you might be interested in this discussion," which is sad because Wikipedia's definition of canvassing explicitly requires that one contacts more than one person. So you risk being viewed as my accompice, even though that is not what I'm asking for at all.).
I assume this is bad taste but perhaps I could count on you in the future (not that I plan on contributing much more. Wikipedia is the worst volunteering possible: on Wikipedia when you add citations supporting a position that another user stated on a talk page you get criticized for being duplicitous rather than thanked for supporting their position. This may seem extremely irrational but it is mundane on Wikipedia.
So, I ask you, may I alert you to discussions in the future so that you may uphold Kohl's legacy and add unbiased tolerance, reason, respect, and maybe sometimes some work (or a suggestion for work)? Hyacinth ( talk) 22:17, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Dear Gerda, seeing you wanted an idiomatic translation of the full title of Rist's Seelenparadis, I attempted the following, what do you think?:-
The New Musical "Souls' Paradise", Containing The most sublime passages of the Holy Scripture (Old Testament) in most learned, reliable and deeply-considered songs (which can be played and sung equally to the well-known and familiar Melodies used in the Evangelical churches, as also to the quite new, artistically-, pleasantly- and reverently-composed Melodies by that most admirable Musico, Herr Christian Flor, the well-established organist of the church of St Lambrecht in Luneberg), correctly explained and arranged, ONLY for the promotion of the Honour of God and for the dissemination of the Holy Word (which alone makes us blessed), and for the recovery into plain light of the songs of our wellnigh utterly fragmented Christendom, and set forth with a threefold register or page-index, by - Johann Rist. I'm not quite sure what "Wo(h)lbestellt" means here, whether Flor is correctly appointed, or of long service, or simply correct in his musical instincts? Anyway, there it is... Best,

Hallo Frau Arendt, verzeihen Sie bitte, falls ich einen Fehler in der User-Kommunikation mache - das ist mein erster Austausch in desem Format. Sie hatten mir freundlicherweise eine Nachricht zur Begründung Ihrer Löschung meiner Änderungen beim englischen Artikel des Windsbacher Knabenchores hinterlassen. Ich hatte es so verstanden, dass allgemeine Informationen keine Beweisführung bräuchten. Die Angaben waren nach meinem Verständnis recht kurzgefasst und neutral, sodass ich annahm, dass es da keine externen Quellen bräuchte. Ganz allgemeine Infos, wie hier z. B. zum Schulbetrieb, findet man i. d. R. auch nur schwer in externen Quellen – ganz sicher wohl nicht auf englischen externen Quellen. Ich möchte gerne Ihre Kritik annehmen und den Artikel wieder entsprechend erweitern. Zunächst habe ich nur 2 aktuelle Fotos hinzugefügt („small portions“). Weiter werde ich jetzt Absatz für Absatz vorgehen und kleine Änderungen machen. Ist das ok? Letzte Frage: Hatten Sie eigentlich ein Problem mit der Listung der CD-Aufnahmen? Da war meine Quelle die deutsche Wikipedia. Vielen Dank für Ihre Hilfestellung und herzliche Grüße Tilman Klett ( HerrTK ( talk) 15:49, 1 November 2020 (UTC))

Hello again, Gerda, and I hope you are keeping well. I'm writing to you because you are listed as an FAC mentor and I'm thinking of nominating an article there for the first time. The article is 1900 FA Cup Final which has just been on DYK having been promoted to GA three weeks ago. I have done some extra work on it since it became a GA, essentially fine-tuning but with a few additional sentences. Although I've been frequently involved at GA over the last year or so, my only FAC participation has been helping with three reviews, all of which I supported after discussion.
I think I could probably manage an FAC nomination without help but the instruction page does "strongly advise" first-timers to seek a mentor. I see that all other nominations have a presentation paragraph so it would be useful to know how best to approach this. I'm used to presenting items for publication elsewhere but publishers come in all shapes and sizes and have different requirements – I've worked with one who insists on no presentation at all and even says the covering letter must contain nothing more than contact details!
The other thing, of course, is to know of any pitfalls in the actual nomination process. I don't want to bring the whole thing crashing down. I did once delete an entire database at work but, fortunately, they had a backup and the manager thanked me for proving that their disaster recovery process worked (at least, he said he was thanking me).
As for the quality of the article itself, I can only say that it has been well-received at GAN and DYK, but FAC must be seeking a higher standard and my purpose here is to find out how close I am to that standard. For me, the feedback I receive will be the most important thing because I would obviously like to bring other articles up to standard. I don't intend to work on football articles much longer as I want to return to more academic subjects such as politics, prehistory, world history, etc. The football articles are useful for getting to grips with the different review standards as they tend to be relatively short and are essentially uncomplicated. Also, the majority of football articles on the site use "footy jargon" such as you would find in a newspaper or hear on TV – upgrading this level of language to a higher standard is a very good way of discovering what that standard is. So, method in the madness!
Anyway, Gerda, I hope you are able to provide me with some advice but please do not feel obliged to do so if you are pressed for time, as I am in no rush; or you may well prefer that I approach someone with a special interest in sport. That will be fine by me.
Best wishes and keep safe. Roy. No Great Shaker ( talk) 08:51, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Jehochman Talk 13:38, 11 November 2020 (UTC)Hi, Gerda, I'm having trouble getting this under 200 characters. Here's what I'm up to:
Hi Gerda, I'm just wondering what exactly a Dutch model
means here – according to the article, I presume it refers to the fact that the hymn is based on a text written by Dutch theologian
Huub Oosterhuis, but this isn't really made clear by the hook. Would the following work instead?
Alternatively, we could pipe Oosterhuis to " a Dutch theologian" if you'd prefer that his name not be mentioned in the hook. Thanks! — RAVENPVFF · talk · 16:36, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi Gerda, I thought the Flor article might contain all the German which I attempted to translate, and found in doing so that I had made the elementary misreading of 'Lieder' for 'leider!' (sic). This changes the sense significantly, because Rist is saying that he is concerned with the Wideraufrichtung of the fallen Christenthum - alas! (leider!) - rather than the revival of merely the (Songs) of Christenthum - quite a different scale of challenge, one might think! I apologize for my former inaccuracy. "Re-edification" was a popular English usage for the setting-up-anew of the church in the 17th century, with resonances of OT Zachariah, and makes a fair equivalence for Wideraufrichtung (again-setting-up-rightly). oops, Eebahgum ( talk) 07:15, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Yes, absolutely it could! But I just feel that you tend not to include the punctuation like that, on the (perhaps spurious) grounds that its place is sort-of taken by the slash. I am not, however, willing to pick up my musket over this, and you have done this work a lot more than I, and I am too lazy, ill and knackered to look for evidence to support my case, so I think I will just stfu now, as the young people so charmingly put it!

I wonder if you have ever heard Gerald Finzi's For St. Cecilia? I sang it around 40 years ago on the chorus benches at a summer musical festival in Cornwall (shades of Tristan?), sitting next to Jamie Gilchrist, who (unlike me) became a leading tenor soloist. Here he is with the Bournemouth band and singers. The words are here (pdf) - the poem is by Edmund Blunden. The chorus is far too distant for my liking in the recording, but the overall effect is excellent. It lasts about 15 minutes. Happy St. Cecilia's day.

I think that if you're going to remove {{ Donizetti operas}} from articles before the deletion discussion is over (which I think is a poor choice) you should at least provide an accurate edit summary indicating what you're doing. This only caught my attention because you removed it from L'ange de Nisida but your edit summary indicated you were simply changing the image. That's discourteous at best.

Dear Gerda Arendt
You recently thanked me for removing an unnecessary Clarify tag in the Messiah Part II article. My pleasure entirely; thank you for all your brilliant contributions.
However, the clarification-seeker might have been "irritiert" by a wider issue in the articles about the three Messiah Parts, namely: Does the Source column in the tables serve a purpose, or is it more distracting than helpful? The only content (information) in any of the Source columns is Italian (or It.). Where a movement recycles material from an originally Italian piece, the subsection about that movement says so. The question therefore arises: Is the Source column redundant? Could it be removed from each of the three articles, and with it the sentence beginning "Movements originally in Italian... " in the General Notes in each article?
You know the rationale for the columns better than I (and anyway I should probably make a terrible mess if I tried to edit the tables). Whatever you decide, thank you in advance for considering this. Frans Fowler ( talk) 05:15, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
Hey, Gerda! Are we talking Ricordi specifically, or in general, because I have a ton of images for Auber, Donizetti, Halévy, and I think Delibes, Cherubini, and Charpentier, probably Rameau and Grétry - honestly, any composer that worked in French probably has stuff on Gallica - but, offhand, I don't think I have any images of them from Ricordi. I also recently got a portrait of Smyth to Featured picture, and that's from the Library of Congress, and I have decent Sullivan resources.

Hi Gerda: Apologies that I did not follow up on your inquiry several months back on Eleanor Sokoloff. I was not aware that my edits at the time made things more difficult. I thought that I had done my edits in my traditional manner. In any event, hopefully this has not been a problem.
It looks as though I may need your help again with a disruptive editor. Edwardx foolishly reverted my edit on Dan Ettinger without paying the slightest notice to my changes. I have done a new edit, with some changes to my earlier version, but I am bracing for edit wards from Edwardx on this article. Hopefully Edwardx will see reason, but if he is as inattentive as he was before, I have my doubts. You probably already have too much on your mind, but I know that you have authority here compared to me. Thanks for reading, and all the best, DJRafe ( talk) 18:30, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

Greetings, Gerda, and happy December! I have an idea to run by you for feedback. Two days ago I created an article on Black-on-black ware a type of Native American Puebloan pottery, hope you find a moment to have a look at it. While researching the subject, I came across the amazing Tafoya family of Kha'po Owingeh ( Santa Clara Pueblo), and learned of the matriarch potter, Sara Fina Tafoya, b.1863 (she does not have an article). She is intriguing, as many of her children, grand children and great-grand children became notable ceramic artists (five generations according to some sources.) I've ordered some books which should be arriving in the next couple weeks to help me get started on the article. Never having proposed a DYK before, I think she may be DYK-worthy, what do you think?

Hi Gerda! Do you know Didone abbandonata (Hasse) or indeed this chap what wrote it? I am feeling terribly pleased with myself and a bit Sherlock Holmesian because whilst in Northumberland I heard this wonderful countertenor aria with horns (yes OK 1-track mind, I accept it) on Radio 3 but being in a slight flap at the time – and subsequently – I managed to fail to write down what it was or even which day or programme I had heard it on. However, after a bit of (incompetent) nosing around I found out today that Georgia Mann had it on her Breakfast show here and that what I was looking for was "Johann Adolf Hasse / A trionfar me chiama (Didone abbandonata) / Performer: Iestyn Davies. Performer: Arcangelo. Conductor: Jonathan Cohen. / HYPERION. CDA67924. 6." It is gorgeous! Do you know it? It's on an Iestyn Davies album called "Arias for Guadagni" and the whole thing is just bliss anyway but the CT+horns is absolutely blowing my socks off with delight. I am shutting up now but I just wanted to tell you! Cheers DBaK ( talk) 19:58, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

I noted that you ignored the English translations for cantata BWV 93 that I had found. Why?
It was only through Commons that I found BWV 616 had been omitted. That's not great. I also checked the Buxtehude chorale prelude BuxWV 76. For organ chorale preludes we use the word cantus firmus and the joy motif is usually associated with dactyls. Albert Schweitzer mentions that, and it can be found in the glossary of Peter Williams' Organ Music of J. S. Bach.

Happy Holidays! | |
Hi Gerda Arendt, May your holidays be merry and bright, |
Gerda, hope this Christmas day finds you well and healthy. Wanted to give you a heads up that I moved this article to draftspace. I didn't notify LouisAlain because I didn't want to cause you any angst. The issue is that with NPP becoming cleaned up, LouisAlain's articles are now at the end of the queue, but they can't be marked as reviewed in their current state. LouisAlain was informed that there were issues with the article almost a month ago, and has done nothing to improve it. It appears they are complacent with you cleaning up after them, and you appear to be okay with that. When I come across one of their articles at the beginning of the queue, if I can I mark it reviewed, but if I can't, I simply let it stay in the queue, hoping it will be improved. But when it gets to the end of the queue, action has to be taken. I hope you understand. Onel5969 TT me 13:22, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

If angels sung a Savior’s birth, On that auspicious morn, We well may imitate their mirth, Now He again is born! If stars in heav'n shone bright as day To light the manger throne, We should rejoice as well as they That love doth reign alone. All Glory be to God on high, And to the earth be peace; Goodwill henceforth from heav'n to men Begin and never cease. - "Milford" by Joseph Stephenson, text anonymous |

Thank you for your contributions toward making Wikipedia a better and more accurate place. BoringHistoryGuy ( talk) 13:19, 26 December 2020 (UTC) Oneupsmanship: This painting turned the friendly rivalry between Edward Redfield and Elmer Schofield into a feud. Schofield was a frequent houseguest at Redfield's farm, upstream from New Hope, Pennsylvania, and the two would go out painting together, competing to capture the better view. Redfield served on the jury for the 1904 Annual Exhibition of the Carnegie Institute; at which, despite Redfield's opposition, Across the River was awarded the Gold Medal and $1,500 prize. It was not until a 1963 interview that the 93-year-old Redfield revealed the painting as the cause of the 40-year feud between them. Schofield may have painted it in England, but a blindsided Redfield knew that it was a view of the Delaware River, from his own front yard! |
Hallo Gerda,
You may have noticed I'm not much of a religious person (reason over imagination) so Christmas, Ramadan and Roch Hachana have no meaning to me. But since I believe in science over "nanny tales" (Ludwig Feuerbach), I have noticed that the new year has already begun. Please, let me sincerely wish the best to you (health being the primary concern) for this upcoming new turn of Earth around the Sun. And more specifically, a significant increase of the number of DYK you'll put out. I promise I'll keep up providing material that may be of some use to you in that respect. Your obedient servant.
