[[User:Gerda Arendt/Places and songs 2022|begins here]], - just watch if you are interested.

My motto for 2022 is taken from [[In Freundschaft]], an article about a composition by Karlheinz Stockhausen, written by missed Jerome Kohl with whom I often exchanged thoughts in friendship. With great help from friends, it became a GA last year, and I translated it to German on 1 January this year.


[[Lobpreiset all zu dieser Zeit]]
While '''garden''' was a key topic last year, I want to focus on '''songs''' in 2022, beginning with [[Allein Gott in der Höh sei Ehr]], [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Quality Article Improvement/Recent deaths|in memory]] of [[Erhard Egidi]]. Other topics are ongoing, and I began to mark groups on my user page. I love collaboration, which also shows there. Just check [[User:Gerda Arendt/2021#2021|2021]] for the amazing number of users who began articles we expanded. 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, which was a pleasant sport for five years, but not so much in the name of [[WP:QAI]] - article improvement. Below I keep - for now - some entries from last year, those related to friendship. --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt#top|talk]]) 07:22, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

They usually go backwards in time, so yesterdays concert first, last year's opera last.

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.


'''2024 talk''' begins at [[#Have a happy New Year, Gerda!]], 2024 calender pics and musical events [[User:Gerda Arendt/Images 2024|begin here]], and the 2024 diary of my own pictures of places, songs, food, flowers ... [[User:Gerda Arendt/Places and songs 2024|will come here]], - just watch those lists if you are interested.

'''My talk goes like this''': on top there's the [[User:Gerda Arendt/Story list|"story"]] related to the day. Below are three boxes, often one for people remembered and two for musical experiences, performing or listening.

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.

:: I looked up to Jerome from the day he came in my life (in 2009, telling me that was a reliable source said about Stockhausen was wrong, - it's still on the talk of [[Siegfried Palm]], my second article), and I imagine our conversations - thoughtful, on a meadow - as pictured, in the spirit of Stockhausen's wonderful titles: [[In Freundschaft]], [[Kontakte]], [[Originale]], [[Licht]] ... We never met. We edit-warred over [[Wittener Tage für neue Kammermusik]] and [[Georg Katzer]], but always with respect. (If you want a tedious task, change the now deprecated parenthetical references, in hundreds of articles.) We worked together on many other. He thanked me for links to performers of Stockhausen's music, and I tried to mention their relation to the composer on the Main page, see [[#DYK for Wolfgang Anheisser|Wolfgang Marschner]] (intentionally in memory), and before.

We have a RfC for Peter Sellers, and a reverted infobox (not a good one I admit, but a good one was suggested in 2012) for Cosima Wagner, and in both cases users could just have looked up his essay, instead of saying that once upon a time some "principal authors" said that an accessibility feature was not wanted for "their" FA. --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt#top|talk]]) 07:57, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

LouisAlain, this article is dedicated to you!

Thank you for literary context from Kafka to Schopenhauer. You others: please give me some of any of these because I thrive on them.

=== I offer you my deepest apologies Gerda ===
similarly:


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.

For those unfamiliar with the situation: we escalated over the hook for [[Kihwan Sim]], which was replaced in prep against my protest.

::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?

Hallo Gerda and thanks for completing drafts I involuntarily left behind. Still active on the French Wiki although at a much slower pace than before. <!--That '''you''', of all users, have been threatened to be blocked and possibly banned is beyond revolting. That is a good indication of what Wikipedia has become. - I wasn't. --> Like the Olympics in 1900, the aim and values were praise worthy then and now... <!--some Stasi like minded thugs have taken hold of the project. And to think I sent money several times to the French foundation. - my talk --> I still have fun translating articles from German and English under I.P though, the attribution issue being now completely meaningless.

==== Q to Beeblebrox ====
[[File:Oxford Wikimedia Meetup Number 73 8519.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|Me and RexxS in happier times....]]
Hi Gerda, sorry to be a pain in the tail but I [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2021/Candidates/Beeblebrox/Questions&diff=1055356402&oldid=1055340539 reverted this good faith edit] because it didn't ask a question. As you can see from the relevant case page, I recommended that Arbcom decline the case and thought that RexxS exhibited no more than mild incivility, that was running rampant throughout the world during the start of COVID, and I agree with SV's comment "{{xt| I want to add that he is one of the most genuinely kind editors I've had the pleasure to encounter. You may not get fake politeness from him, but you have found a friend if you ever need one.}}" which I can wholeheartedly endorse from personal experience having met him in the pub several times. It would be nice to see if somebody can suggest a constructive action that has a reasonable chance of RexxS returning and contributing to Wikipedia, but I don't think that's it. Sorry.

: [[User:Ritchie333|Ritchie]], I don't think you understood. I wanted to know from [[User:Beeblebrox|Beeblebrox]] if the next time an appeal such as Sarah's - "every editor is a human being" - came around (regardless which case) he would listen. I don't know if he didn't see that appeal then, or saw it but it didn't change things for him. I thought that was clear without a question mark, also that without an answer, I'd not vote for him, or any other who accepted the case, before or after Sarah pleaded, because even arbs may change their mind and should follow the complete request discussion. The relevant discussion happened on [[User talk:Hammersoft#Precious anniversary|Hammersoft's page]], urging the one who filed the case to withdraw it, but - as we know - in vain. How may I word my censored question? I want arb's who listen to people like Sarah (knowing that there's no one like her), probably women ;) --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt#top|talk]]) 12:33, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
::I would go with "{{xt|You accepted the RexxS arbitration case, despite many users including SarahSV suggesting it should be declined, not least because "every editor is a human being".

::: That could be ''your'' question ;) - I want only Sarah's, not the others, to keep things "übersichtlich" for someone (unfamiliar with the case, and again, it's not about that particular case) who wants to put the candidate's answer in context (and would have to read only one, not the others). - Let me think a bit, first I have other things to do. My design was to ask candidates not involved in that case: Would you have listened to SarahSV's appeal to decline the case?

'''''[[Gianni Schicchi]]''''' is a comic [[opera]] in one act by [[Giacomo Puccini]] to an Italian [[libretto]] by [[Giovacchino Forzano]], composed in 1917–18. The work is the third and final part of Puccini's ''[[Il trittico]]'', three one-act operas with contrasting themes, following the dramatic ''[[Il tabarro]]'' and the lyric ''[[Suor Angelica]]''. The libretto is based on an incident mentioned in Dante's ''[[Divine Comedy]]''. Set in 1299 [[Florence]], the title character pretends to be a rich citizen who had died, dictating a new will in favour of the deceased's family members but especially of himself ''(scene in the premiere pictured)''. The comedy, a rarity in the composer's work, combines elements of Puccini's modern harmonic dissonances with lyrical passages such as the aria "[[O mio babbino caro]]". When ''Il trittico'' premiered at New York's [[Metropolitan Opera]] on 14&nbsp;December 1918, only ''Gianni Schicchi'' became an immediate hit. It has been performed more frequently than the other two, often combined with other short operas. - '''TFA''' [[Wikipedia:Main Page history/2021 December 14|today]] by [[User talk:Brianboulton|Brian Boulton]] and [[User:Wehwalt|Wehwalt]]

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.

: Thank you! - I thank Ozawa personally two (mostly) unforgettable matinees in [[Tanglewood Music Center|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". --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt#top|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!

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)

Hi Gerda, how would you feel about [[Jesu, meine Freude, BWV 227]] being the TFA for 7 February? [[User:Gog the Mild|Gog the Mild]] ([[User talk:Gog the Mild|talk]]) 21:49, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
: Thank you for asking. You will remember that [[BWV 1]] is planned for 25 March. Fine with me if that's not too close. I was thinking of 11 June - private anniversary, when I sang it first, the day before my grandfather's funeral. --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt#top|talk]]) 22:09, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
::The schedulers, collectively, would be delighted to run BMV 227 on 7 Feb ''and'' BMV 1 on 25 March. Unless you have a strong objection we will do so. [[User:Gog the Mild|Gog the Mild]] ([[User talk:Gog the Mild|talk]]) 20:25, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
::: Fine with me --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt#top|talk]]) 20:31, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
::: I prepared a blurb:
::: '''''[[Jesu, meine Freude]]''''' (Jesus, my joy), {{abbr|BWV|Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis (catalogue of Bach's works)}}{{nbsp}}227, is a [[motet]] by [[Johann Sebastian Bach]]. The longest and most musically complex of [[List of motets by Johann Sebastian Bach|His motets]], it is in eleven [[movement (music)|movement]]s for up to five voices. It is named after the 1653 [[Lutheran hymn]] "{{lang|de|[[Jesu, meine Freude]]|italic=no}}" by [[Johann Franck]] in six [[stanza]]s which form the motet's odd-numbered movements, with the [[hymn tune]] by [[Johann Crüger]] appearing in different styles of [[chorale]] setting ''(beginning pictured)''. The text of even-numbered movements is from the [[Epistle to the Romans]]. The hymn, focused on an emotional bond to [[Jesus]], adds complementing aspects to the doctrinal scripture text. ''Jesu, meine Freude'' is one of the few works by Bach for five vocal parts, in a structure of symmetries on different layers. While the work was supposed to have been written for a specific funeral in [[Leipzig]] in July 1723, as proposed in 1912, [[Christoph Wolff]] suggested that Bach may have compiled it for the education of [[Thomanerchor|his choir]] in both composition techniques and theology. It was the first of his motets to be recorded, in 1927.
::: Supposed to go with the lead image, beginning of the first movement, the music being the same also for the last movement, just different text. Should I formally request on TFAR, [[User:Gog the Mild|Gog the Mild]]? --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt#top|talk]]) 21:14, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
::::Thanks - I had just set that up to work on myself, so it saves me a job and you will do it better. No need to formally request, I'm on it. Your draft is 1.098 characters long, including spaces. The limit is 1,025. Would you prefer to trim it, or should I have a go? [[User:Gog the Mild|Gog the Mild]] ([[User talk:Gog the Mild|talk]]) 21:24, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
::::: I gave it a bit of copy-editing. If still too long, the last sentence could be dropped, or would you have a better idea? --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt#top|talk]]) 21:38, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
*How is this?{{quote|'''''[[Jesu, meine Freude, BWV 227|Jesu, meine Freude]]''''' (Jesus, my joy), {{abbr|BWV|Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis (catalogue of Bach's works)}}{{nbsp}}227, is a [[motet]] by [[Johann Sebastian Bach]]. The longest and most musically complex of [[List of motets by Johann Sebastian Bach|his motets]], it is in eleven [[movement (music)|movement]]s for up to five voices. It is named after the 1653 [[Lutheran hymn]] "{{lang|de|[[Jesu, meine Freude]]|italic=no}}" by [[Johann Franck]], the six [[stanza]]s of which form the motet's odd-numbered movements, with different styles of [[chorale]] setting ''(beginning pictured)'' making up the [[hymn tune]], composed by [[Johann Crüger]]. The text of the even-numbered movements is from the [[Epistle to the Romans]]. The hymn focuses on an emotional bond to [[Jesus]] and Bach's treatment of Crüger's melody ranges from a four-part [[Lutheran chorale|chorale harmonisation]] which begins and ends the work, to a [[chorale fantasia]]. ''Jesu, meine Freude'' is one of the few works by Bach for five vocal parts, in a structure of symmetries on different layers. It has been suggested that Bach compiled it for the education of [[Thomanerchor|his choir]] in both composition techniques and theology. It was the first of his motets to be recorded, in 1927.}}1,006 characters.
*: Sorry, made me smile ;) -. "with different styles of [[chorale]] setting ''(beginning pictured)'' making up the [[hymn tune]], composed by [[Johann Crüger]]" - no, first came the hymn tune, then Bach's chorale settings of it. If we had room to mention the different settings in detail, all you mentioned were less interesting than the "free" one with only bits of the melody quoted, for ''Trotz'', defiance. - I feel we do have to mention the funeral, because although the evidence that it is not so was there from the 1990s, many program notes today (and some of the sources) still say with certainty that is ''was'' composed for that event. Wolff is quite the authority, so I'd mention him by name, or the suggestion could be dismissed. - Bedtime. You can schedule, and we polish afterwards, hopefully with [[User:Dank|Dank]] and [[User:Dying|Dying]] helping. --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt#top|talk]]) 22:42, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
:::The funeral, I think that there is little chance that you will get onto the main page mention of something that is not believed to be so. And trying to explain it uses a lot of characters. [[User:Gog the Mild|Gog the Mild]] ([[User talk:Gog the Mild|talk]]) 23:22, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
:::: [[User:Gog the Mild|Gog the Mild]], the funeral theory was wrong but held for almost a century, and many still believe it, - I think we need to explicitly say so. New try:
:::: '''''[[Jesu, meine Freude]]''''' (Jesus, my joy), {{abbr|BWV|Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis (catalogue of Bach's works)}}{{nbsp}}227, is a [[List of motets by Johann Sebastian Bach|motet by J. S. Bach]] composed in Leipzig and unusually set for up to five voices. It is his longest motet, in eleven [[movement (music)|movements]], and musically his most complex, in [[Jesu, meine Freude, BWV 227#Table of the structure|several layers of symmetry]]. It is named after the 1653 [[Lutheran hymn]] "{{lang|de|[[Jesu, meine Freude]]|italic=no}}" by [[Johann Franck]] in six [[stanza]]s which became the motet's odd-numbered movements, while the text of the other movements is taken from the [[Epistle to the Romans]]. The emotional hymn and the doctrinal scripture text complement each other. Bach used the [[hymn tune]] by [[Johann Crüger]] in five different [[chorale]] settings ''(beginning pictured)''. While the work was believed to be funeral music, since a Leipzig church musician argued in 1912 for a specific funeral in July 1723, his evidence was refuted in 1995, and [[Christoph Wolff]] concluded that Bach may have compiled it for the education of [[Thomanerchor|his choir]] in both composition techniques and theology. It was the first Bach motet [[Jesu, meine Freude, BWV 227, discography|to be recorded]], in 1927. --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt#top|talk]]) 07:38, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
:::: Promised: not that it matters much, but there will be articles about the one who claimed the funeral thingy, and the one who refuted, by when it appears. --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt#top|talk]]) 07:43, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
*I took your point earlier. And have included a brief mention in the draft - [[Wikipedia:Today's featured article/February 7, 2022|here]]. Feel free to edit this draft, and/or make comments on its talk page [[User:Gog the Mild|Gog the Mild]] ([[User talk:Gog the Mild|talk]]) 21:12, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
*: thank you, seen and I like your phrasing, no changes right now, - I'll wait what the others say --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt#top|talk]]) 21:19, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
*:: Gerda, i have copyedited [[Wikipedia:Today's featured article/February 7, 2022|the blurb]], taking the discussion here into account. feel free to undo any part of my edit if you prefer the original wording or if i have made any mistakes. hopefully, the comments i left in {{diff3|1068954408|my edit}} explain my reasoning sufficiently, though i think i should make a few additional points.
*::* i am not sure if it would be better to say that wolf "suggested" his theory (as stated in the article) rather than "believed" it, but i ended up leaving the verb used in the blurb alone. feel free to change that if you think it should conform to the article.
*::* i took the liberty of creating [[:template:BWV|a template]] for the "BWV" abbreviation, as
*::*# the abbreviation and tooltip text are regularly used in articles on bach's works;
*::*# bach was prolific, so there is potential for the template to be used more than just a few times;
*::*# it improves readability of the code; and
*::*# the template automatically inserts a non-breaking space between the abbreviation and the numeral following (if provided).
*::: for example, as seen in the blurb, the code "{{((}}BWV{{!}}227{{))}}" inserts the text "{{BWV|227}}". i believe its use does not violate any standards for the main page, as the [[:template:circa|circa template]] is regularly used in blurbs. please let me know if it violates any other standards that i might not be aware of, such as those of the relevant wikiprojects.
*::* if bach's initials are used, i believe there should be a non-breaking space between the "J." and the "S.", to conform with [[MOS:INITIALS|mos:initials]]. note that, in tfa blurbs, the html entity "&amp;nbsp;" is generally used instead of the nbsp template.
*::* i feel that, for someone unfamiliar with motets and movements, the phrase "his longest and most musically complex motet in eleven [[movement (music)|movements]] for up to five voices" may be misinterpreted to mean that, amongst the motets in the eleven movements, this motet was the longest and most musically complex one. perhaps replacing "motet in" with "motet, with" would avoid such a misinterpretation.
*::* i cannot tell if a link to "motet" was deliberately omitted, but if not, the second instance of the word can easily be linked.
*:: apologies for the delayed response; currently, i cannot seem to find the time to address blurbs much earlier than a week before they appear on the main page. in any case, i appreciate the ping, as it allowed me to think about this blurb over a few days, and i do not know if i would have noticed this discussion without it. [[User:Dying|dying]] ([[User talk:Dying|talk]]) 18:50, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
*::: no apologies needed, thank you for your help which I looked forward to (see earlier in the thread). perhaps i should have pinged you then but didn't want to put you under pressure). - the template is fine, thank you! I'd prefer Bach's full name, just proposed to abbreviate it to save a few characters. - how about this: In eleven [[movement (music)|movements]] for up to five voices, it is his longest and most musically complex motet? - yes, a link to "motet" was deliberately omitted, because this isn't the typical motet, and a reader with no idea what a motet is may get a link from the list of motets, still sort of a detour ;) --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt#top|talk]]) 19:21, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
*:::: oh, sorry if i was not clear before; i actually did get the earlier ping above (hence my apology for the delayed response). interestingly, however, your ping on the blurb's talk page [[Help:Fixing failed pings|failed]], though i luckily stumbled upon your message anyway, albeit after writing the above response. hopefully, {{diff3|1069136295|this edit}} addresses your concerns.{{pb}}by the way, for future reference, i do not mind being pinged significantly before a blurb is scheduled to appear on the main page (even though, admittedly, it might take me a while to respond properly). so feel free to ping me without worrying about putting me under pressure.

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.

::"Hebe auf" - makes it sound such an effort! I, too, sing out loud in the open air, giving to all and sundry the appearance of my being a madman. I sang an entire Psalm (to my own music) when on my own halfway up a very high hill in Snowdonia, before realizing that the top of the hill was rather beyond my reach. And when I go into an empty parish church in the country I often sing one. I sang one to God alone in [[St Margaret South Elmham]] in Suffolk one drowsy afternoon in 2020, and just as I finished I realized that I was not alone at all - the entire church was full of sleepy hornets - there was one sitting just beside me (and I have the allergy if I am stung), so I stole away home, or at least, out of the church, rather gingerly...<br />[[File:Cortona S Maria Nuova.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Cortona S Maria Nuova]]Back in March 1989 I was staying at [[Cortona]] in Italy and walked over to the Franciscan cells at Le Celle by the road which sweeps around the contour of the hillside like a vast amphitheatre, looking down towards Il Sodo and the top corner of the [[Val di Chiana]]. Half-way around (coming back from the cells) I stopped, and, checking that I was quite alone, "This is surely better than La Scala" thought I, so I stood looking out over the descending hillside and let rip with a very full-throated rendering of "Dai campi, dai prati" (Boito, Mefistofele) in my best baritone declamation. Hoping I was not disturbing the monks in their celle, I enjoyed myself so much I sang "Giunto sul passo estremo" as well, possibly twice, into the deliciously cool but sunny air. It seemed to be going well... As I concluded, ''con gusto'' ("voglio che questo sogno sia la santa poesia: è l'ultimo bisogno dell'esistenza mia"), an Italian guide with a party of about 30 nice American ladies suddenly popped out from behind a nearby bush, and the guide remarked kindly, "You have found yourself an excellent theatre!" We all laughed, and everyone was very nice about it. I don't think I had quite ruined their morning, nor they mine, but I didn't reprise after that: the diffidence took over. It was the same week I did this sslightly peculiar sketch of the church a little lower down the same hillside. Younger days...

:::::: {{u|Eebahgum}}, I have been surrounded by mountains most of my life. From Italy where we lived in the Piedmont, to Montana, to Alaska (two mountain ranges), I love climbing. I have now worn a path to my favorite overlook of the lake from Sirr Mt. Even in snow that is feet deep I will walk or mush to sing my morning songs as often as possible. I have done this for as long as I can remember every where I have lived. My songs are different than most but they are sung from my heart and my Spirit. They often are of those I love and care about. They are also songs of thanks to creator and the universe. They are tributes to the Colors I hear and the Songs I see around me. Sometimes I drag my cello or carry a flute or take my bowls to play. On the rare occasion I am accompanied by a friend that brings his drum. When he is not with me my heart keeps beat. It is not a life for everyone, there are hardships around ever bend in the river, but it is a life I love and a life I intend to live as full as I possibly can. I will sing a song for you and the little one. --[[User:ARoseWolf|<span style="color:#b76e79">'''A'''</span><span style="color:#be4f60">'''Rose'''</span>]][[User talk:ARoseWolf|<span style="color:#b87333">'''Wolf'''</span>]] 14:38, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

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 was in [[User:Gerda Arendt/Stories#19 Apr|the performance mentioned today]] (with trailer), - in 2018 DYK made that possible, but 2024 is a different troupe.

'''''[[Jesu, meine Freude, BWV 227|Jesu, meine Freude]]''''' (Jesus, my joy), {{BWV|227}}, is a [[List of motets by Johann Sebastian Bach|motet by J.&nbsp;S. Bach]]. In eleven [[movement (music)|movement]]s for up to five voices, it is his longest and most musically complex motet. It is named after the 1653 [[Lutheran hymn]] "{{lang|de|[[Jesu, meine Freude]]|italic=no}}" by [[Johann Franck]]; the hymn's six [[stanza]]s form the motet's odd-numbered movements. Bach used the [[hymn tune]] by [[Johann Crüger]] in five different [[chorale setting]]s ''(example pictured)''. The hymn's text focuses on an emotional bond to [[Jesus]], complementing the doctrinal text from the [[Epistle to the Romans]] used for the even-numbered movements. ''Jesu, meine Freude'' is one of the few works by Bach for five vocal parts, in [[Jesu, meine Freude, BWV 227#Table of the structure|a structure of symmetries on different layers]]. It is unclear when the motet was written. Bach scholar [[Christoph Wolff]] believed that Bach may have compiled it to educate [[Thomanerchor|his choir]] incomposition techniques and theology; an earlier theory that it was written for a 1723 funeral in [[Leipzig]] is now discredited. In 1927, it became the first of Bach motets to be recorded.

== 1 June ==
Thank you for your terrific work on the [[Prayer for Ukraine]] article—I think I'm going to put some things aside to work on [[Mykola Lysenko]]'s article. I was considering trying to start some kind of event at the CM project page to work on Ukranian music articles, what do you think about this? I feel like I (or you and I, if you have any interest) could assemble a list of important articles for the project to work on. Not sure if it would be limited to composers, maybe also performers or genres? If you don't have time, I understand, just thought I'd ask about it! I did finally get around to adding more to Crumb's article, by the way, though I think Lysenko will take priority for the time being. [[User:Aza24|Aza24]] ([[User talk:Aza24|talk]]) 00:23, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
: thank you so much - and I woke up thinking that I'd mobilise QAI ;) - I first want to polish the article some more, and nominate for DYK, and then see what's missing, first from the OREYA playlist and the essay about composers cited in the article. If you could add sources to the hymn from what you find for Lysenko, that would be great. We had [[Kateryna Kasper]]. Usually, new "needed articles" just come by red links for me, but feel free to do it more formally for CM. --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt#top|talk]]) 07:38, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello Gerda! I have seen you posting on some people's talk pages about [[Prayer for Ukraine]] (nothing bad about it). Today I"m going to get the chance to play the song for myself. I'm glad that there are people out there who do support Ukraine (including me), they really need it. I watched a video recently about how this war started, and it appears it's just because Russia is jealous that Ukraine was able to find a lot of natural gas, making Ukraine second to Russia in natural gas (i may be misinterpreting that as I tend to have terrible memory). Hope you continue to do well. ― [[User:Blaze Wolf|<b style="background:#0d1125;color:#51aeff;padding:1q;border-radius:5q;">Blaze&nbsp;Wolf</b>]][[User talk:Blaze Wolf|<sup>Talk</sup>]]<sub title="Discord Username" style="margin-left:-22q;">Blaze&nbsp;Wolf#6545</sub> 14:53, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

=== Invitation to join the Fifteen Year Society ===
=== For speaking ===
[[File:Fifteen Year Society userbox.svg|left|125px|link=Wikipedia:Fifteen Year Society]] Dear {{PAGENAME}},
Thank you for speaking at the RFC. You were not alone in your exasperation. You said above "the only real nation is humanity". Since COVID started, I have increasingly been turning to the work of [[David Wojnarowicz]]; reading him has become some sort of ritual. I had read him before, but there was never a sense of resonance until then. ''Weight of the Earth'' is a written collection of his spoken journals, and pages 119 to 120 contain the following: "My feeling is that the imagination is the key to breaking through pre-invented existence: that in imagination, we can break the images of borders—we can break through the borders of countries, we can break through existing structures of government, or we can break through whatever systems of control are on our shoulders." Thank you for your part in [[Prayer for Ukraine]]. [[User:Urve|Urve]] ([[User talk:Urve|talk]]) 04:50, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
: thank you for support and sharing - the short version is quoted from the [[User talk:Jack Merridew/Editnotice|edit notice of a banned friend]] whom I quote in my edit notice (which to like was his last edit here, afaik, and sadly the last I heard of him) which in turn is a quote from [[Lord of the Flies]]. Imagine ... [[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt#top|talk]]) 07:17, 18 March 2022 (UTC)


I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join the '''[[Wikipedia:Fifteen Year Society|Fifteen Year Society]]''', an informal group for editors who've been participating in the Wikipedia project for fifteen years or more. &#x200B;

'''''[[Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern, BWV 1|Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern]]''''' ('How beautifully the morning star shines', {{BWV|1}}, is a [[List of church cantatas by liturgical occasion#Annunciation (25 March)|church cantata for the Annunciation]] by [[Johann Sebastian Bach]]. He composed [[Chorale cantata (Bach)|his chorale cantata]] in 1725, based on [[Philipp Nicolai]]'s [[Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern|1599 hymn]], for the 25&nbsp;March Marian feast which coincided with [[Palm Sunday]] that year. The [[Theme (narrative)|theme]] of the hymn suits both occasions, in a spirit of longing expectation of an arrival. The hymn was paraphrased by a contemporary poet who retained its first and last [[stanza]]s unchanged, set as a [[chorale fantasia]] and the closing chorale, but transformed the inner stanzas into a sequence of alternating [[recitative]]s and [[aria]]s. Bach scored the work for three vocal soloists, a four-part choir and a [[Baroque instruments|Baroque instrumental]] ensemble of two [[natural horn|horn]]s, two [[oboe da caccia|oboes da caccia]], two solo [[violin]]s ''(part pictured)'', [[string section|strings]] and [[basso continuo|continuo]]. It is the last [[chorale cantata]] of [[chorale cantata cycle|his second cantata cycle]], begins the [[Bach Gesellschaft|Bach-Gesellschaft]]'s 1851 complete edition of his works and is listed as No.&nbsp;1 in the 1950 [[Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis]].

:: Thank you for planning to do more! Normally it takes months until a GA gets reviewed, - will that be long enough? I guess with an expanded music section, we might even go for FA (but shouldn't bother a GA reviewer with too much detail). - Goehr is still on the Main page, so whatever bits you would add ''today'' have a chance to be seen by more people. Raising interest was the key motivation for the nomination ;) (I made a typo but fixed it, as explained. I can hold it off tomorrow if you think that is better.) - He deserves more attention. Compared to others, it was low when he died, got higher with the obits, but was (4k+) moderate yesterday.

:::Hi there @[[User:TheBritinator|TheBritinator]], I am certainly aware of the obvious, but I appreciate your enthusiasm. As Amakuru explains below, RDs are not really contentious, an article is either ready or it isn't. The one in question was certainly ready, but needed more people to take a look at it. If the subject's death isn't recent enough, there is a chance they cannot be featured at all, should enough attention to the nomination not be given. This is a rather simple matter where words like "canvassing" are an extreme reaction. I would think that "the rules" do not permiss overreactions from admins.

:{{ping|ScottishFinnishRadish}} while I'll admit I'm a wikifriend of Gerda, and maybe I'm biased, I think this is a terrible block. Recent death nominations at ITN/C aren't like regular discussions where you "support" or "oppose" and there is debate, such that bringing in a friendly face would benefit you. If the quality is met then RDs are automatically posted. If a nomination has gone unnoticed for almost a week and is in danger of dropping off, it's standard practice to ask around for some pairs of eyes to check it and get it over the line. Numerous editors did exactly that, it was posted, and there's no evidence that anyone skimped on the quality review.

*'''Oppose'''. How else is an editor supposed to inform others whom they know to be concerned? [[WP:APPNOTE]] specifically allows for posting ''"On the user talk pages of concerned editors."'' Really is an unjustified block considering what APPNOTE actually says. There is no evidence showing that any of the editors who were messaged were not somehow involved or had no reason to be concerned. The only real reason given for this block was that many messages were sent. If sending too many messages without any other context being thought about is all it takes to get blocked around here, then God help us all. Besides, the common-sense reason for the rule to exist in the first place is to deter disruption. Getting more eyes on that gives more of a chance to improve the situation, not disrupt it.

I would honestly just not mention it at all and let the process do what it will. Your point of view about what should be highlighted on the Main Page is just one of many and it shouldn't predominate just because you've asked several dozen people for help. Now, as for the block, it seemed a touch too dramatic and sudden for me, even given the context of [[User talk:Gerda Arendt/2024#Canvassing|the warning]], and my first instinct was to undo it ... but thinking about it some more I'm probably too [[WP:INVOLVED|involved]] both personally as a friend and as a Wikipedian.

I am here to ask for mercy and a bit of leniency for Gerda, whose kindness and good faith and dedication to Wikipedia are legendary among experienced editors. Her motivation seems to have been simply to recruit help to improve an article, rather than to win some dispute. Time served, perhaps?

:I would certainly agree with a lifting of this block as time served. But it prompts wider questions about how editors can legitimately collaborate for [[WP:ITNRD]]. [[User:Martinevans123|Martinevans123]] ([[User talk:Martinevans123|talk]]) 08:26, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
Oh, I bet you'll like this. The baritone who sings the Count is one of the best petit-grand-opera baritones around here: Robert Garner. (He also choruses at the Met.)
::There's not really a need to collaborate as such for ITNRD, in terms of nominations. A RD only needs one or two supports and an admin to go through. I've had one drop off the nom page before despite receiving supports; I notified an admin of this and they put it into the template. [[User:Chipmunkdavis|CMD]] ([[User talk:Chipmunkdavis|talk]]) 08:47, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
:::In my experience, when a nomination rapidly attracts a few supports, there's no problem. But far more frequently a nomination rapidly attracts a few opposes because it's too short, or lacks sources, or is not well-written, etc. In these cases I really don't see why the nominator can't ask for help to find sources, etc. from editors who may have an interest in the RD subject and who may not otherwise be tracking the nominations page. I'd call that "editor collaboration". [[User:Martinevans123|Martinevans123]] ([[User talk:Martinevans123|talk]]) 09:04, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

I also hope there can be some leniency here, and I recognize I say this as someone familiar with Gerda Arendt, even if not for as long as some other editors. This block just seems rather too [[WP:BURO]] when the offense was a week ago and was of limited disruption (some indeterminate amount of readers may have seen the name of a violinist that they may or may not have clicked on; oh, the horror?). Collaboration with other editors and passion for a topic are together the lifebloods of Wikipedia, and this feels rather like punishing someone for attempting and evincing each.

(Edit conflict). Having read the above discussion, it seems clear to me that Gerda has been using the word "support" when actually meaning that she wants an article supported by editing it, improving it, Wikifiying it, adding citations and so on. As she has explained, when she wrote "support", she meant "attention", and "attention" meant the improvement of articles in the approved manner, in order to make them sufficiently acceptable to be linked on the Main Page. I have seen her use the word "support" before, and it didn't make sense to me. Now it does. I understand that Gerda speaks English as a second language, and I have seen her apologise for linguistic errors in English quite a few times. So it looks to me as if this block is due to a misunderstanding on both sides. Gerda has suggested above that she should used the word "attention" as an alternative to "support", but to me that will still be potentially confusing. I suggest that if she just wants articles edited in the approved manner, that she spells that out clearly, e.g. "The article [[Foo (composer)]] needs editing for improvement to a standard which will make it fit to be linked to the Main Page.

I'd suggest that to Gerda that if you're looking to steer clear of this in the future, you could ask for <em>review</em> instead of attention or support. Asking for review generally signals that you're open to people challenging your work, helping it improve and meet standards, whereas "attention" and "support" might sound like you're just trying to move it across a finish line. Wikipedians love to correct other Wikipedians, and by extension, Wikipedians love Wikipedians who love to be corrected. Also, I would maybe ask 2–3 ITN regulars for their eyes in a situation like this, rather than 35 people who may or may not have an interest in the topic/venue. Alternatively, you have a [[Special:PageInfo/User talk:Gerda Arendt|highly watched and viewed]] user talk page – it feels weird to post to your own user talk sometimes, but you definitely could!

== A barnstar for you! ==


Yes, that's all sound advice, and I'd advise Gerda to follow it. But even so, this block - and its duration - was way over the top for an incident which had no ill effects whatsoever. A few people showed up to "support" the nom after Gerda's appeal, but there's no evidence any of them were anything less than thorough in their analysis. And no admin on ITN would post an RD without also satisfying themselves that it meets the quality criteria. The policy says that blocks are for preventing harm to the project they are not to be used for "punishment", yet it's clear that Gerda poses no threat whatsoever to Wikipedia, and neither did her actions last week; in fact, the block is harming the project because we're now impeding her from her usual daily work improving the project. &nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;[[User:Amakuru|Amakuru]] ([[User talk:Amakuru|talk]]) 10:28, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

* I thought the sun was going to explode there for a few moments. Thanksfully I saw it was only a 72 hours block. It is worth pointing out the Gerda Arendt is one of the most productive and best editors on Wikipedia and this insn't even in a area where canvassing is a problem and can never be a problem in that area, by definition. It is negligible. What about the extensive canvassing in Afd, where paid editors run rampant and has a lasting deliterious and damaging effect on Wikipedia, where nothing seems to get done. Its seems a bit ridiculous to block one of our best editors. I cant understand this place. It was far too harsh a decision and shouldn't have been made unilaterally. An entremely poor administrive action.

I'm a little surprised to see this from SFR, who usually makes better decisions. Really poor block. Wait, I will attempt to separate my friendship with Gerda from my thoughts on this block ... Really poor block. Let this be a lesson to you, Gerda, ''Wikipedia does not want you to care about quality, it wants you to Follow The Rules.'' It's always puzzling to me that we give people actively harming other editors more chances than a productive editor who broke one of the lesser Rules. I guess because it is so easy to determine that the lesser Rule was broken. Viriditas's reference above to the [[Law of the instrument]] is apt. 72 hours for a first, minor block after 15 years was an unexpected twist of the knife, though. See you all in 72 hours, when Gerda's block expires. I'm certainly not going to edit until she does. [[User:Floquenbeam|Floquenbeam]] ([[User talk:Floquenbeam|talk]]) 15:28, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

:: Thank you for answering, even if not exactly my questions. As explained above, I have no time right now to respond in detail. - I'll do my morning routine including passing Precious to a user who had their first TFA yesterday. Quick question though to the suggestion to place a request for help on my talk page: wouldn't that - addressing 100+ watchers - be a worse case of "canvassing"? Do you understand that I prefer individual conversations? Do you understand that I am in many regular conversations, with official and honorary members of [[WP:QAI]], with friends, with users whom I thank? What you call canvassing is for me telling them about problems, such as the state of the Goehr article when he died? - I was in a rush when I wrote the messages, having to go out, and not having reached any of the three admins that normally help me with RD (PFHLai, Spencer, Stephen - see list above). I had no time to add that Goehr meant 95& of the problems I faced, and also the other was time-critical which he wasn't. - Regarding the post on your talk: please think about the word "enforce". In most RfA of a past, I asked candidates what they thought about [[User:Gerda Arendt/User talk before you block]]. Later, I could usually just support per Precious. I don't remember if I even posted in yours. Quite generally, I go for talk.

:::Gerda, it sounds like you're saying you didn't actually intend to ask people "Please go vote 'support' at this RD" but rather "Please support this nom by fixing what's wrong with the article so it can get through RD"? Because I'd agree one is canvassing but the other is not. At least some of the editors you approached said it felt like inappropriate canvassing, so maybe clarify what you're asking for. Asking for 'support' in any discussion, which has a specific meaning here on enwiki, probably isn't a great choice of wording. (I agree with others above that canvassing at RD is a probably pointless and mostly harmless kind of canvassing.)
'''''[[Messiah (Handel)|Messiah]]''''' (<abbr title="Händel-Werke-Verzeichnis (catalogue of Handel's works)">HWV</abbr>&nbsp;56) is an English-language sacred [[oratorio]] composed in 1741 by [[George Frideric Handel]]. Its text was compiled by [[Charles Jennens]] from the [[King James Version|King James Bible]] and the ''[[Book of Common Prayer]]''. It covers episodes related to the [[Messiah]] mostly in verses from the [[Old Testament]] and the [[Book of Revelation]]. Handel structured the work in three parts, each in scenes as in [[Opera#Baroque era|Baroque opera]]. [[Messiah Part I|Part&nbsp;I]] covers prophecies, the birth of [[Jesus]] and his work, [[Messiah Part II|Part&nbsp;II]] focuses on [[Passion of Jesus|his Passion]], while [[Messiah Part III|Part&nbsp;III]] deals with the [[Universal resurrection#Christianity|resurrection of the dead]]. ''Messiah'' was first performed in Dublin on 13&nbsp;April 1742, with a small orchestra of [[trumpet]]s, [[oboe]]s, strings and [[Basso continuo|continuo]]. After an initially modest reception, the oratorio became one of the most frequently performed Western choral works, often adapted to large orchestras and choirs after Handel's death. [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart|Mozart]] modified the instrumentation in his arrangement ''[[Der Messias]]'' to a German text. The famous ''[[Messiah Part II#44|Hallelujah]]'' chorus, concluding Part&nbsp;II, is often performed individually.
:::And, yes, I'd agree placing a request on your own talk makes it less of a problem. You could create a post "RDs I need help with" that those who are interested could subscribe to. I do understand you prefer individual conversations, but approaching people individually on their user talk with a request for 'support' in some discussion ''is'' canvassing.
</div>
:::TL;DR: if you're actually trying to get people to go vote support, you should stop, and if you aren't intending that at all, revise your approach. [[User:Valereee|Valereee]] ([[User talk:Valereee|talk]]) 10:54, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
:::: Thank you for very general advice. I hope that the ''specific'' situation - woman musician in danger of missing exposure - happened once in 2019 (and I still feel guilty, - there was a thread then "If she had been a British man, she would have appeared, but now she was a Hungarian woman"), and now (Maryvonn Le Dicés, violinist of [[Pierre Boulez]]'s famous ensemble, who had an article only in Russian which didn't help me at all), and hopefully will not happen again. - Being blocked was a new experience, - it left me rather cold. I planned to sit it out, but was a bit sad to miss giving Precious to a first-time TFA author which I still haven't done. I would have liked to at least update my user page, and I missed the thank-you button most of all. --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt#top|talk]]) 11:40, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

:::::: As said above, I'll be busy until later on Monday. You could answer the 3 questions I asked SFR (right below the quoted 2 who thought of canvassing and my responses, while others looked at the article and 2 supported, and another supported who had not gotten a message but reacted to "attention needed", the standard wording on the ITNN nom page.

:::::::Yes, I understand you did not intend to request support for yourself/your point of view. But if you intended to request support votes for the RD appearance of the article, it's canvassing.
:::::::Yes, I do understand that support at RD means saying the article meets the defined criteria. Which is why I said above that canvassing at RD is pointless and mostly harmless.
:::::::I have seen that you have said your primary intention was to ask for help working at Goehr, but that is definitely not what I heard you saying when you said {{xt| Help? My story today is about a woman, nominated for RD but needing support as I write this. A composer died whose article is long and mostly unreferenced, which will keep me busy,}}.

:::::::: I understand that you read it this way, but please consider that you are looking at something I wrote in haste and dispair, under the pressure of the Goehr task, explained on the talk of Aza24, in case of interest, - in a nutshell: I had just made him my story on his birthday on 10 August, and noticed in which horrible state the article was (much of it unreferenced, copyvio, purple language, synthesis ...) and wished him a long life, and then he died. - Going out now, to a place where I spent time with [[User talk:Floquenbeam|Floq]] (booked last week, coincidence). --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt#top|talk]]) 13:09, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
:::::::::Gerda, I do understand you were writing in haste. You asked me to answer the question of whether I understood you were asking more for Goehr than for Le Dices, and I answered that question. And several other editors interpreted the post the same way I did. [[User:Valereee|Valereee]] ([[User talk:Valereee|talk]]) 13:41, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
:::::The logic of preventing the access of blocked editors to their User page still escapes me. I also missed the [[Rest and Be Thankful Speed Hill Climb|Thank-you button]] most of all, but then I was blocked for slightly longer than you. I wanted to suggest that blocked editors could, or indeed ''should'' in some cases, be given access to certain articles one at a time, on a probationary basis - so they could prove their editorial worth, in some practical way, before being wholly unblocked. But this seems to be be deemed technically too difficult. And in any case, why would anyone listen to an editor who was blocked... I still think your own block should be wiped out.

:::::::There's no need to worry about Floque. He blanked his page in solidarity with you being blocked but, of course, he edits so infrequently that he probably hasn't even noticed the unblock. The irony is, of course, that no one would have noticed his lack of activity. His last few edits have been just talking to you; his last foray into article space was two months ago. Interestingly, he's not usually so quick to criticise poor admin actions: it's only recently that he attempted to defend Graham Beard's partisan threats to an otherwise innocent editor (on my talk, of all places). On reflection, if it had been any editor other than {{u|ScottishFinnishRadish}} he might not have got involved, but it was a tempting opportunity to put the boot into an admin who had ''also asked Graham Beards'' to read WP:INVOLVED and then explain himself. Which Graham Beards has not yet done, and, indeed, has doubled down on. But why shouldn't he when he has such enablers? *sigh*{{pb}}Congrats on the unblock!

=== RD on [[WP:ITNN]] - looking forward ===
In case of interest, a little history of a nomination.
* 20 Aug: news of the death of [[Maryvonne Le Dizès]], no article in English, only one in Russian. No date of death. It didn't take long to find out that she played violin in a highly notable ensemble, [[ensemble intercontemporain]] where she even commissioned new compositions, and she taught for a long time: clearly notable. Thank goodness there were refs in English. I went ahead creating an article, but when I was ready to publish I noticed that Rigg had already done that. I merged the articles. 13 editors helped with the article.
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates&oldid=1241988966 24 Aug]: I nominate the article for the Recent deaths, date 20 Aug (when the news came around). Nominations need to be decided within the week following that date (so by 27 Aug), it's by simple support or oppose, which look at broadness of coverage and diligence of referencing. Usually closing admins want to see three supports and no oppose, but in many cases one support is enough: when the article clearly meets the requirements.
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates&diff=prev&oldid=1242215375 25 Aug]: the nom received a support.
* 27 Aug: Nothing had happened, I made her my story, in hope, and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates&diff=prev&oldid=1242518159 marked the nomination] with "needs attention" - a standard procedure. Nothing happened. I notified the three admins who often had helped me, - no response. You know the rest.


In the future - still hoping a case like this won't come again - I will inform fewer people of a problem and rely on my talk page more, and I will avoid the word "support" and replace it by "review". I urge everybody with a little time at the end of the day to check if there are ''any'' nominations needing attention on ITNN. I encourage everybody to follow what is on quoted on the top of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Quality Article Improvement/Precious|Precious]]:

What do you think about changing it to "[[Violin Concerto (Sibelius)|His Violin Concerto]] in D minor"?

[[File:Kitten (06) by Ron.jpg|frameless|left|upright=0.8]]
=== Beautiful double rainbow ===
I found this cute thing while walking the other day, I thought you'd like it!


I've started Bible college a couple weeks ago and one of the assigned readings, ''[https://canaaninthedesert.com/product/my-all-for-him/ My All for Him]'' by [[Basilea Schlink]] really spoke to me, and reminded me of you, actually. I'm not too sure what your beliefs are exactly, but it should not matter in this context; it's all about Jesus here.
That was a beautiful double rainbow picture you took, Gerda. The colours are very vibrant, especially in the primary bow. Reflection bows are so cool. It really exemplifies our lives. We sometimes lead and sometimes we simply reflect the light of others. I think I enjoy being the reflection more than the primary bow. I get to experience the love light of others as their Lifesongs vibrate upon my strings and then I get to reflect those colours back into their lives and see the results in ways most could not comprehend. People look at the storms in their life as something tragic and evil. And they revere the sun filled days with joyful glee. Yet it takes the dark rains of the storm and the bright light from the sun to create these masterpieces we call rainbows. Both are needed to form the most beautiful and awe inspiring representation of life and a promise of a new and better day.. Storm and Sun, Light and Dark, make us the Rainbow that we are. Such graceful yet terrible creatures are we. --[[User:ARoseWolf|<span style="color:#b76e79">'''A'''</span><span style="color:#be4f60">'''Rose'''</span>]][[User talk:ARoseWolf|<span style="color:#b87333">'''Wolf'''</span>]] 14:02, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
: You said that so well. Did you know that I took a pic of a double rainbow, almost the same location and expression, on this day in 2002, and learned a day later that a friend had died then? Friends travelled to London from Germany to hear [[Kiri Te Kanawa]] sing [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTWBieDvZb8 Dove sono], DYK? --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt#top|talk]]) 14:10, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
:: It does not surprise me that a rainbow revealed itself to you at the time of loss of someone dear to you. It can mean so many things for each person. I think the over arching message of the rainbow is that storms will come and they will pass. New days follow and they may be different days. They may be days where all we have left are the imparted Songs of lost friends and loved ones in our lives but that, in itself, is a beautiful thing. To be so impacted by others and carry a part of them so intimately connected to us that it becomes a part of our Song is the richest form of life we could ever have on this adventure. --[[User:ARoseWolf|<span style="color:#b76e79">'''A'''</span><span style="color:#be4f60">'''Rose'''</span>]][[User talk:ARoseWolf|<span style="color:#b87333">'''Wolf'''</span>]] 15:02, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

: I saw the opera there (in 2015) which plays in Auschwitz for most of the time (remembered by a protagonist who was a guard there, and her new husband doesn't know when it begins on a ship sailing to a new living place). It is based on a play by [[Zofia Posmysz]], who was an inmate there. See it if you can, but it was ready in 1968, and not performed until 2006. I praise [https://oper-frankfurt.de/de/mediathek/?id_media=110 Oper Frankfurt for taking the risk of being unpopular]. - I saw the conductor again, with [[L'Italiana in Londra|funnier fare]], [https://oper-frankfurt.de/en/season-calendar/litaliana-in-londra/?id_datum=2719 intro]. --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt#top|talk]]) 06:53, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
:: [[Zofia Posmysz]], such a brave soul. My great-grandfather was held in a sub camp of Dachau while his eldest son was taken on to the main camp. He would later be moved to the same camp with his son and would witness his death. According to my great-grandmother he actually had to bury him in a mass grave but this is based on her recollection of what was written. He wrote these experiences on whatever he could find and those "letters" were found among countless others when American forces liberated the camp. So I've been told that after the war two of the American soldiers that liberated the camp found my great-grandmother in Italy and gave her these letters from him and I believe my grandmother donated them to a museum before I was even born. I do know that my oldest brother has researched most of this out. Thank you for sharing this Gerda.

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme '''Around the World in 31 Days'''! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least '''31 countries''' (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
I've added a cropped version of the image to the article [[:File:Liva Järnefelt in Lohengrin at Kungliga Operan 1905 - SMV - GJ055-crop.jpg]] but I don't know how to add it to the DYK template.--[[User:Ipigott|Ipigott]] ([[User talk:Ipigott|talk]]) 14:42, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

2024 · the anniversary of Bach's chorale cantatas

[edit]
September songs
Die Fliege

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)[reply]

Belated seasons greetings; great contribution

[edit]

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)[reply]

Happy New Year!

[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Have a wonderful New Year, Gerda!

[edit]
 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.
Thank you for everything you do for the Wikipedia community, your article improvements,
and bringing people together here.

[edit]

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)[reply]

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.

About time. Article begun in May, meant to appear with the Abel Fest in June. Then we missed his birthday on 22 December. I wanted it with the image, for various reasons,

The new

was introduced
at a festival
celebrating Abel's tercentenary

I offer you my deepest apologies Gerda

[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]

BWV 22

[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

12 years

[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
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!

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)[reply]
(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)[reply]
These came in response to my message:

The image, taken on a cemetery last year after the funeral of a distant but dear family member, commemorates today, with thanks for their achievements, four subjects mentioned on the Main page and Vami_IV, a friend here. Listen to music by Tchaikovsky (an article where one of the four is pictured), sung by today's subject (whose performance on stage I enjoyed two days ago).
Yesterday I learned that a friend suddenly died; we both belonged to a group that traveled once a year for decades, and I remember her vivid talk last summer, same voice and sparkle as when we met. Her song for me was Take the "A" Train, sung by Ella Fitzgerald. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:38, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for asking. No, sorry, not this year. I have four nominations for people who recently died, two are open, - that kept me busy. What I wanted was Bach's St John Passion for OTD tomorrow, first performed on Good Friday 1724, but I was reverted claiming that OTD can't go by feast but only by date, so it would have to be 7 April. Impossible. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:27, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Easter Sunday

[edit]

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.

24 April 2011

listen

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.

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)[reply]

This was the story. I am happy that all six composers mentioned, even the unlinked Verdi, received views around 1k or higher. I believe that it is a myth that our audience isn't interested in such things. Thanks to Mary Mark Ockerbloom who bravely approved the hook.

As it happens, today's story is about singing in defiance ;) - look and listen! - Ten years ago, I worded the hook that appeared OTD, and I quoted from the hymn - together with a pointer to Kafka - already in my response to the 2013 arbitration decision, in the same mood of singing in defiance.

2 July, Visitation, was the 300th anniversary of Bach's chorale cantata on a Gregorian chant (a contradiction in terms but he made it work), Meine Seel erhebt den Herren, BWV 10.

3 July is the birthday of Leoš Janáček, and I'm happy I had a meaningful DYK in 2021. It's also the birthday of Franz Kafka, and I uploaded pics from his family's album seen in Berlin. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:09, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gerda . I scrolled through your page of stories and I must say ... your choice, variety and variability of topics, overall beauty and aesthetic of your contributions is so close to my heart like nothing else on Wikipedia. I'm sending you my favourite and most beautiful piece from On an Overgrown Path, it's performed by lesser known but excellent Jan Jiraský, who connects very well the lyrical expression and urgent or maybe even anxious rhythmical contradiction present in many of Janáček's works in one moment. Enjoy and ... be well. Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 08:42, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
blushing - thank you for understanding! I listened with joy! The closest I came to Janáček was singing the Glagolitic Mass in choir, understanding how his music is language-driven and so expressive. Seeing the Vixen (not cunning, not little) in Munich was also great. - I added a few images, - keep looking at story music places, - for example today's music matching the Italian tenor of the story. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:38, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gerda, could you hold off an a GAN until I get a chance to expand the music section? Also, it looks like the template wasn't processed on the talk page anyways. Aza24 (talk) 21:51, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for planning to do more! Normally it takes months until a GA gets reviewed, - will that be long enough? I guess with an expanded music section, we might even go for FA (but shouldn't bother a GA reviewer with too much detail). - Goehr is still on the Main page, so whatever bits you would add today have a chance to be seen by more people. Raising interest was the key motivation for the nomination ;) (I made a typo but fixed it, as explained. I can hold it off tomorrow if you think that is better.) - He deserves more attention. Compared to others, it was low when he died, got higher with the obits, but was (4k+) moderate yesterday. Tomorrow will be Bruckner's 200 birthday, followed by Schoenberg's 150th on 13 September. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:18, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Isobel Baillie

[edit]

Isobel Baillie sang mainly in English oratorio, and is almost forgotten. This recording amply demonstrates why she was one of the 16 singers for whom Vaughan Williams wrote the Serenade to Music. Her control of vibrato and trill was extraordinary. Narky Blert (talk) 17:43, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1866 version of Bruckner's Mass in E minor

[edit]

When looking in my archive, I have In the meantime found a recording of a second live-performance of the 1866 version of the Mass in E minor by Hans-Christoph Rademann on 13 August 2014 in the Kloster Eberbach during the Chornacht "Das Licht gegeben" at the Rheingau Musik Festival of 2014. I have sent a copy of this recording to John Berky, so that he can save it in the Bruckner Archive. --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 13:18, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Reginald, - I missed that concert (but look forward to his Third Symphony on Saturday, same place). I'm determined to use that piece in my stories for his birthday, now more than before. I sang all three masses but this was the first I met, and remained the strongest impression. - Heard an interesting concert on radio yesterday, Os justi and Warum ist das Licht gegeben dem Mühseligen?, by Tenebrae. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:25, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Maxim Berezovsky

[edit]

On 4 September 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Maxim Berezovsky, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that after composer Maxim Berezovsky's death, Catherine the Great secretly ordered that the papers in his rooms be burned? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Maxim Berezovsky. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Maxim Berezovsky), 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.

Sending out dozens of requests for support at RD is as blatant as canvassing comes. I have already warned you for this behavior. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 22:52, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Love you Gerda come back soon and be happy. If Wikipedia's bureaucracy is a pickle for you then there is editorial and social support. I appreciate how you support others and make good edits. Bluerasberry (talk) 23:13, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The stakes are so low for RDs that using a word like "Canvassing" is frankly bizarre. Gerda's edits look like a genuine attempt to get more eyes on a conversation with few participants, and one where timing is especially important. And why did you wait a week to block? Maybe start a conversation and offer guidance rather than immediately resorting to retaliatory behavior. Not a productive block, and certainly not helping build an encyclopedia.

The rules apply to everyone, Aza24. TheBritinator (talk) 23:32, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there @TheBritinator, I am certainly aware of the obvious, but I appreciate your enthusiasm. As Amakuru explains below, RDs are not really contentious, an article is either ready or it isn't. The one in question was certainly ready, but needed more people to take a look at it. If the subject's death isn't recent enough, there is a chance they cannot be featured at all, should enough attention to the nomination not be given. This is a rather simple matter where words like "canvassing" are an extreme reaction. I would think that "the rules" do not permiss overreactions from admins.

Gerda, I am sorry you are blocked. I am away on vacation and I will see you next month. Viriditas (talk) 23:37, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ScottishFinnishRadish: while I'll admit I'm a wikifriend of Gerda, and maybe I'm biased, I think this is a terrible block. Recent death nominations at ITN/C aren't like regular discussions where you "support" or "oppose" and there is debate, such that bringing in a friendly face would benefit you. If the quality is met then RDs are automatically posted. If a nomination has gone unnoticed for almost a week and is in danger of dropping off, it's standard practice to ask around for some pairs of eyes to check it and get it over the line. Numerous editors did exactly that, it was posted, and there's no evidence that anyone skimped on the quality review. I don't even know where this has come from, is there some back story I don't know about? I strongly suggest that you reconsider.  — Amakuru (talk) 23:46, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As I noted above, I have already issued a warning for canvassing, so that's the back story. Mass messages specifically calling for support are a clear violation of WP:APPNOTE. There are appropriate ways to request eyes on a discussion, and this was far outside the acceptable bounds. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:52, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Appalling block as others have already eloquently expressed. Take care, Gerda, hope you get to enjoy more hikes, flowers, and food. DanCherek (talk) 01:48, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I concur with the detailed comments above about the nature of contributions to WP:ITN/C/recent deaths and about the administrative reaction to Gerda's high crime <sarcasm>– which the blocking administrator so clearly identified as harming Wikipedia</sarcasm>. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 02:35, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to see this block undone. Blocks really should be reserved for times where someone is harming the encyclopedia, and I do not see how that is the case here. Canvassing on a deletion discussion - okay, I suppose, but even then only after more than one warning and perhaps a discussion or two, but on a notice of a recent death? Please be gentle with the block button, unless you're dealing with vandals, trolls, sockpuppets, and other nuisances, in which case reach for it without delay. My unsolicited opinion as a 19-year admin. Antandrus (talk) 03:17, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ScottishFinnishRadish: You may want to take a look at this section on my talk page (which followed this one), where Gerda and I discussed the canvassing she was treading into with the way she phrased her messages. This was after her last round of talk page messages linking to an ITN nomination — I don't think this issue has come up since — and I have faith that Gerda will adjust her conversational style to avoid running afoul of the canvassing issue again. As such, I'd suggest reconsidering your block as its effects are likely to be more punitive than preventative in this case. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 03:42, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think this is a bad block, per Antandrus. I hope that SFR reconsiders it. —Ingenuity (t • c) 04:07, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. How else is an editor supposed to inform others whom they know to be concerned? WP:APPNOTE specifically allows for posting "On the user talk pages of concerned editors." Really is an unjustified block considering what APPNOTE actually says. There is no evidence showing that any of the editors who were messaged were not somehow involved or had no reason to be concerned. The only real reason given for this block was that many messages were sent. If sending too many messages without any other context being thought about is all it takes to get blocked around here, then God help us all. Besides, the common-sense reason for the rule to exist in the first place is to deter disruption. Getting more eyes on that gives more of a chance to improve the situation, not disrupt it. Think more and do better people. Please and thank you. Huggums537voted! (sign🖋️|📞talk) 05:39, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Huggums537: I for one was not involved or concerned one bit. More below. Graham87 (talk) 07:35, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      Fair enough. However, my read of the guidance suggests that the disruption caused by such an action should be more towards [your personal experience] as an editor than it is towards [altering outcome of] the discussion if that is the excuse being used to block her and I'm not really getting any sense at all that you are complaining about being disrupted only you are saying that you weren't involved which brings me back to my point about the common sense reason why these rules exist - to prevent disruption. Please think people. Think. Please and thank you. Huggums537voted! (sign🖋️|📞talk) 09:46, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      I mean for crying out loud if we are blocking people for that, then we might as well start blocking whoever is responsible for leaving mass notices on watch pages across Wikipedia about RFA's because I frequently have no involvement whatsoever with the candidate whose support is being asked of me by the nominators who have proposed said request, but much like Graham87 I'm not complaining that there has been any disruption to me, merely noting that I'm not involved with the candidate and don't feel comfortable participating in the RFA. Thank you. Huggums537voted! (sign🖋️|📞talk) 19:24, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      @Huggums537: Per the RFA header, those notices were implemented by consensus in 2015, a little before your time here. Graham87 (talk) 03:45, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      Of course you are right and so to continue my analogy, the APPNOTE guidance was also implemented long before Gerda was accused of canvassing. I would bet dollars to donuts that if I were to show up at an RFA (or even on their talk pages for that matter) and started accusing nominators of canvassing or complain of disruption from the RFA process then you can rest assured accusations of incompetence followed by an indef would ensue in very short order, but for some reason very similar bad faith accusations against ordinary editors from someone who is in administration in more common situations such as these is so easily dismissed...

      I went the wrong way with my point. It kinda sounds like I want to punish SFR with incompetence, but my opinion of the blocking policy is that it's too harsh even [sometimes] for the admins who enforce it and really the point I was actually trying to make is that any actions that would otherwise normally be sanctioned by policy could be interpreted in bad faith ways if you try hard enough. Maybe we should try harder to interpret in good faith ways as Gerda suggested in one of her more recent comments in this thread? Please and thank you. Huggums537voted!

No worries about the FAC, Gerda; it's all on your own time. However, as I've mentioned before, directly asking for support in open consensus-forming discussions is not appropriate and difficult to interpret as anything other than canvassing. I will have to refrain from commenting on the ITN nomination as a result. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 05:03, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I see it a bit differently: I rarely ask for help, but had to go out, with the decision if another woman would be overlooked pending. (It happened before, Márta Kurtág, and I didn't want that to happen again.) WP:ITNN is not the typical "consensus" discussions, but support and oppose follow strict factual rules: enough coverage and enough referencing. In many cases one support was enough (which was there when I asked) for familiar admins but they all seemed to have the day off, and those unfamiliar would want to be safe and see a few more, like three. - I hope it will not happen again that I get in emergency mode. But if would "needs attention" be neutral enough? - She "made it" just before I went to bed. Goehr work still needed is detailed on the article talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:21, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ScottishFinnishRadish, do you understand that I did not request support for me and my point of view, but that I just factually informed that the subject needed support? Do you understand that support on WP:ITNN means saying "the article meets the defined criteria"? Do you understand that I wanted help for the Goehr case much more than for the violinist?
Next time - but I always hope that there will be no next time for a Recent death article in danger of not meeting the deadline - I will omit the desperate "Help?" and will use the word "attention" instead of "support". What do you think? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:04, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Having requested support in a discussion with bolded support !votes led me to believe that you were requesting support in that discussion. Neutral requests for attention, more eyes, or similar are far more compatible with WP:APPNOTE, and clarity around help with an article as opposed to help in a discussion would help a lot with people not intimately familiar with the venue. As TLC mentioned below, a note on your talk page to your watchers that you'd like help bringing an article up to a certain standard would likely do very well also. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 20:36, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As promised, I have now time to think about this. I can follow what led you to believe, but after some other responses, do you still believe that? I think I asked a precise question, clarifying it: do you understand now that I meant to factually inform that the article (of a woman, a classical musician, a foreigner, - so a minority in three respects) needed support in order to appear? - I have never criticised a block, but when I didn't understand one, asked the blocking admin a question, for example in Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement/Archive153#Pigsonthewing (2014), which to study might be of interest. It was a suggested one-week block for what "looks like y crystal clear violation" of a topic ban, and it ended in no action because it was not as crystal clear a violation as it had looked at a glance. The admin received praise for having been open. He kindly supplied a link to my question. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:16, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Somewhat surprised and baffled by this block, which I've never seen happen before in 17 years. I also admit to being a wikifriend of Gerda. Having responded to her request for help with Maryvonne Le Dizès, I now also feel involved in this block as in some way having enabled or condoned Gerda's action. Would the outcome have been the same if no-one had responded? Gerda works very hard on RDs and this looks just like a slap in the face for her efforts. Martinevans123 (talk) 07:19, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would honestly just not mention it at all and let the process do what it will. Your point of view about what should be highlighted on the Main Page is just one of many and it shouldn't predominate just because you've asked several dozen people for help. Now, as for the block, it seemed a touch too dramatic and sudden for me, even given the context of the warning, and my first instinct was to undo it ... but thinking about it some more I'm probably too involved both personally as a friend and as a Wikipedian. I'm glad for this message about it that you removed, because otherwise I would never have known what happened. As for the topic of what's on the Main Page, I tend to take a view Iridescent espoused somewhere (can't find the link quickly, though I've tried to look) that basically almost no-one actually reads it compared to the number of people who use it as a launching pad for Wikipedia searches ... I myself stopped reading the Main Page regularly many years ago. Graham87 (talk) 07:35, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am here to ask for mercy and a bit of leniency for Gerda, whose kindness and good faith and dedication to Wikipedia are legendary among experienced editors. Her motivation seems to have been simply to recruit help to improve an article, rather than to win some dispute. Time served, perhaps? Cullen328 (talk) 07:57, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would certainly agree with a lifting of this block as time served. But it prompts wider questions about how editors can legitimately collaborate for WP:ITNRD. Martinevans123 (talk) 08:26, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There's not really a need to collaborate as such for ITNRD, in terms of nominations. A RD only needs one or two supports and an admin to go through. I've had one drop off the nom page before despite receiving supports; I notified an admin of this and they put it into the template. CMD (talk) 08:47, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In my experience, when a nomination rapidly attracts a few supports, there's no problem. But far more frequently a nomination rapidly attracts a few opposes because it's too short, or lacks sources, or is not well-written, etc. In these cases I really don't see why the nominator can't ask for help to find sources, etc. from editors who may have an interest in the RD subject and who may not otherwise be tracking the nominations page. I'd call that "editor collaboration". Martinevans123 (talk) 09:04, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That would be collaboration in article writing, not in getting support for the nomination itself. I've never seen anyone raise issues with the ideas you mention. CMD (talk) 09:15, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would suggest those two activities are intimately connected. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:04, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
They aren't. You can improve an article and not participate in nominations, and you can review a nomination without working on the article. Our article quality processes rely on this distinction. CMD (talk) 10:09, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps it's just me, then. I usually find that those who support a nomination will often also improve the article and those who oppose a nomination typically do nothing. Perhaps your experience is different. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:18, 5 September 2024 (UTC) p.s. I've always understood Gerda's use of the word "support" to encompass both activities. And I've never seen that as non-native speaker thing.[reply]
I should add as a wider aside that I would agree with others above that this block no longer serves a preventative purpose. CMD (talk) 09:17, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I also hope there can be some leniency here, and I recognize I say this as someone familiar with Gerda Arendt, even if not for as long as some other editors. This block just seems rather too WP:BURO when the offense was a week ago and was of limited disruption (some indeterminate amount of readers may have seen the name of a violinist that they may or may not have clicked on; oh, the horror?). Collaboration with other editors and passion for a topic are together the lifebloods of Wikipedia, and this feels rather like punishing someone for attempting and evincing each. Hydrangeans (she/her | talk | edits) 09:18, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(Edit conflict). Having read the above discussion, it seems clear to me that Gerda has been using the word "support" when actually meaning that she wants an article supported by editing it, improving it, Wikifiying it, adding citations and so on. As she has explained, when she wrote "support", she meant "attention", and "attention" meant the improvement of articles in the approved manner, in order to make them sufficiently acceptable to be linked on the Main Page. I have seen her use the word "support" before, and it didn't make sense to me. Now it does. I understand that Gerda speaks English as a second language, and I have seen her apologise for linguistic errors in English quite a few times. So it looks to me as if this block is due to a misunderstanding on both sides. Gerda has suggested above that she should used the word "attention" as an alternative to "support", but to me that will still be potentially confusing. I suggest that if she just wants articles edited in the approved manner, that she spells that out clearly, e.g. "The article Foo (composer) needs editing for improvement to a standard which will make it fit to be linked to the Main Page. Please help? " Storye book (talk) 09:29, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd suggest that to Gerda that if you're looking to steer clear of this in the future, you could ask for review instead of attention or support. Asking for review generally signals that you're open to people challenging your work, helping it improve and meet standards, whereas "attention" and "support" might sound like you're just trying to move it across a finish line. Wikipedians love to correct other Wikipedians, and by extension, Wikipedians love Wikipedians who love to be corrected. Also, I would maybe ask 2–3 ITN regulars for their eyes in a situation like this, rather than 35 people who may or may not have an interest in the topic/venue. Alternatively, you have a highly watched and viewed user talk page – it feels weird to post to your own user talk sometimes, but you definitely could! theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 09:35, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's all sound advice, and I'd advise Gerda to follow it. But even so, this block - and its duration - was way over the top for an incident which had no ill effects whatsoever. A few people showed up to "support" the nom after Gerda's appeal, but there's no evidence any of them were anything less than thorough in their analysis. And no admin on ITN would post an RD without also satisfying themselves that it meets the quality criteria. The policy says that blocks are for preventing harm to the project they are not to be used for "punishment", yet it's clear that Gerda poses no threat whatsoever to Wikipedia, and neither did her actions last week; in fact, the block is harming the project because we're now impeding her from her usual daily work improving the project.  — Amakuru (talk) 10:28, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a good advise. Gerda, you can regret your fault (review not support) and use the unblock template. In the meantime, can I do something for you? Grimes2 (talk) 10:25, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just wanted to pop in to support this. If you commit to appropriate notifications I'd be more than happy to unblock. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 13:36, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to hear about the block hopefully you get unblocked i feel like the block was too harsh for such a minor issue it seems to be more of a punishment than preventing harm to the project and violates policy Isla🏳️‍⚧ 10:52, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • I thought the sun was going to explode there for a few moments. Thanksfully I saw it was only a 72 hours block. It is worth pointing out the Gerda Arendt is one of the most productive and best editors on Wikipedia and this insn't even in a area where canvassing is a problem and can never be a problem in that area, by definition. It is negligible. What about the extensive canvassing in Afd, where paid editors run rampant and has a lasting deliterious and damaging effect on Wikipedia, where nothing seems to get done. Its seems a bit ridiculous to block one of our best editors. I cant understand this place. It was far too harsh a decision and shouldn't have been made unilaterally. An entremely poor administrive action. scope_creepTalk 14:35, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Scope creep:, what do you mean, it shouldn't have been a unilateral decision? SerialNumber54129 14:46, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It should have been taken at WP:ANI and discussed, where a less severe sanction could have be put in place as an interim measure. I just hope Gerda comes back. scope_creepTalk 14:59, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I see, yeah. Mind you, I think the problem is that the first thing everyone would say is that we elect our admins to make decisions on their own. Whether we agree with them or not. I'm sure that's been said before? But put away your worries—Gerda will be back. In fact, it's only been two hours. She's been off-keyboard longer than this just doing the weekly shopping  :) SerialNumber54129 15:05, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a little surprised to see this from SFR, who usually makes better decisions. Really poor block. Wait, I will attempt to separate my friendship with Gerda from my thoughts on this block ... Really poor block. Let this be a lesson to you, Gerda, Wikipedia does not want you to care about quality, it wants you to Follow The Rules. It's always puzzling to me that we give people actively harming other editors more chances than a productive editor who broke one of the lesser Rules. I guess because it is so easy to determine that the lesser Rule was broken. Viriditas's reference above to the Law of the instrument is apt. 72 hours for a first, minor block after 15 years was an unexpected twist of the knife, though. See you all in 72 hours, when Gerda's block expires. I'm certainly not going to edit until she does. Floquenbeam (talk) 15:28, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • I had hoped that SFR would reverse their own block after seeing the comments here, but that has unfortunately not happened. Like many others above, I feel that this block is not in line with the blocking policy, which states that blocks are used to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia. Gerda's actions did not damage or disrupt Wikipedia, and were, at worst, a borderline policy violation. Gerda's comment also clarifies that they did not intend to violate the spirit of WP:CANVASS. For these reasons, and after much careful thought, I am overturning this block. Courtesy ping to @ScottishFinnishRadish: —Ingenuity (t • c) 16:16, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you Ingenuity, it's good to see that WP:COMMONSENSE has prevailed at last. I was on the verge of taking this to WP:AARV but hopefully we can now draw a line under this. @Gerda, I think there's some useful advice above on avoiding this sort of shenanigans in the future - avoid using the words "support needed", and limit the requests to one or two people - you only really need one supporter and one admin to post, and I'm always happy to be the latter if I'm around (subject to me being satisfied the quality concerns are met of course!). Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 16:34, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Gerda - you can always give me a ping if needed. Shearonink (talk) 16:52, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for the ping. I've been busy since my earlier message here this morning, but as I say on my user page, admins are welcome to reverse any of my standard admin actions. My judgement isn't perfect, and it's clear that a large number of editors disagree with my judgement in this case. I'll take the feedback on board and adjust my actions accordingly. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:32, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's nice to use the thank-you button again, - thanks to all for support and advice! I had a great time out with friends. I have no time for individual comments, possibly until next week: company, choir rehearsal day for Stabat Mater (Haydn) at Limburg Cathedral, RMF closing concert (Bruckner! still above, and I won't make a story for 5 Sep, better next year when he'll turn 85 - I'm an optimist.), Day of open monuments (Schloss Weilburg).

ScottishFinnishRadish, I left three questions especially for you further up, and would appreciate you taking the time to read and reply. I like to prevent misunderstandings. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:25, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've answered above, hopefully in a way will provide clarity all around. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 20:37, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for answering, even if not exactly my questions. As explained above, I have no time right now to respond in detail. - I'll do my morning routine including passing Precious to a user who had their first TFA yesterday. Quick question though to the suggestion to place a request for help on my talk page: wouldn't that - addressing 100+ watchers - be a worse case of "canvassing"? Do you understand that I prefer individual conversations? Do you understand that I am in many regular conversations, with official and honorary members of WP:QAI, with friends, with users whom I thank? What you call canvassing is for me telling them about problems, such as the state of the Goehr article when he died? - I was in a rush when I wrote the messages, having to go out, and not having reached any of the three admins that normally help me with RD (PFHLai, Spencer, Stephen - see list above). I had no time to add that Goehr meant 95& of the problems I faced, and also the other was time-critical which he wasn't. - Regarding the post on your talk: please think about the word "enforce". In most RfA of a past, I asked candidates what they thought about User:Gerda Arendt/User talk before you block. Later, I could usually just support per Precious. I don't remember if I even posted in yours. Quite generally, I go for talk. Illustrated below: I like to share, places and music and sometimes also problems ;) -Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:45, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Gerda, it sounds like you're saying you didn't actually intend to ask people "Please go vote 'support' at this RD" but rather "Please support this nom by fixing what's wrong with the article so it can get through RD"? Because I'd agree one is canvassing but the other is not. At least some of the editors you approached said it felt like inappropriate canvassing, so maybe clarify what you're asking for. Asking for 'support' in any discussion, which has a specific meaning here on enwiki, probably isn't a great choice of wording. (I agree with others above that canvassing at RD is a probably pointless and mostly harmless kind of canvassing.)
And, yes, I'd agree placing a request on your own talk makes it less of a problem. You could create a post "RDs I need help with" that those who are interested could subscribe to. I do understand you prefer individual conversations, but approaching people individually on their user talk with a request for 'support' in some discussion is canvassing.
TL;DR: if you're actually trying to get people to go vote support, you should stop, and if you aren't intending that at all, revise your approach. Valereee (talk) 10:54, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for very general advice. I hope that the specific situation - woman musician in danger of missing exposure - happened once in 2019 (and I still feel guilty, - there was a thread then "If she had been a British man, she would have appeared, but now she was a Hungarian woman"), and now (Maryvonn Le Dicés, violinist of Pierre Boulez's famous ensemble, who had an article only in Russian which didn't help me at all), and hopefully will not happen again. - Being blocked was a new experience, - it left me rather cold. I planned to sit it out, but was a bit sad to miss giving Precious to a first-time TFA author which I still haven't done. I would have liked to at least update my user page, and I missed the thank-you button most of all. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:40, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I hope a woman musician missing exposure doesn't happen again, either. But even in that specific less-than-ideal situation, canvassing is not the solution. Valereee (talk) 11:48, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As said above, I'll be busy until later on Monday. You could answer the 3 questions I asked SFR (right below the quoted 2 who thought of canvassing and my responses, while others looked at the article and 2 supported, and another supported who had not gotten a message but reacted to "attention needed", the standard wording on the ITNN nom page. Please wait until I'll have time to respond properly. Guest coming in an hour, and I'm not ready, and that Precious is still not given ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:04, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No hurry on response! You asked do you understand that I did not request support for me and my point of view, but that I just factually informed that the subject needed support? Do you understand that support on WP:ITNN means saying "the article meets the defined criteria"? Do you understand that I wanted help for the Goehr case much more than for the violinist?
Yes, I understand you did not intend to request support for yourself/your point of view. But if you intended to request support votes for the RD appearance of the article, it's canvassing.
Yes, I do understand that support at RD means saying the article meets the defined criteria. Which is why I said above that canvassing at RD is pointless and mostly harmless.
I have seen that you have said your primary intention was to ask for help working at Goehr, but that is definitely not what I heard you saying when you said Help? My story today is about a woman, nominated for RD but needing support as I write this. A composer died whose article is long and mostly unreferenced, which will keep me busy,. What I heard you saying was "Please go support Le Dizès at RD! I'm going to be very busy at Goehr, which is in terrible shape." Valereee (talk) 12:29, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And this would seem to indicate that you actually were primarily intending to ask for support at RD for Le Dizes? Valereee (talk) 12:55, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I understand that you read it this way, but please consider that you are looking at something I wrote in haste and dispair, under the pressure of the Goehr task, explained on the talk of Aza24, in case of interest, - in a nutshell: I had just made him my story on his birthday on 10 August, and noticed in which horrible state the article was (much of it unreferenced, copyvio, purple language, synthesis ...) and wished him a long life, and then he died. - Going out now, to a place where I spent time with Floq (booked last week, coincidence). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:09, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Gerda, I do understand you were writing in haste. You asked me to answer the question of whether I understood you were asking more for Goehr than for Le Dices, and I answered that question. And several other editors interpreted the post the same way I did. Valereee (talk) 13:41, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The logic of preventing the access of blocked editors to their User page still escapes me. I also missed the Thank-you button most of all, but then I was blocked for slightly longer than you. I wanted to suggest that blocked editors could, or indeed should in some cases, be given access to certain articles one at a time, on a probationary basis - so they could prove their editorial worth, in some practical way, before being wholly unblocked. But this seems to be be deemed technically too difficult. And in any case, why would anyone listen to an editor who was blocked... I still think your own block should be wiped out. Apologies for the soap box. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:57, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is no wiping out, not even for a misclick ;) - I like the wording of the unblock reason. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:04, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
soap-box? - my talk is a forum for people in need. - It was more popular yesterday than some of my DYK, and I am still quite overwhelmed by (uncanvassed) support while I slept, like yours, Martin. - That Precious still not done. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:08, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Editors (particularly Admins, of course) can possibly imagine how it feels to be blocked, even for a few hours or days. But until one has experienced it personally, it is just purely imaginary. I'm not surprised that some blocked editors never even try to return. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:28, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Some of us spent a week IP hard blocked, refused an unblock or IPBE because of accusations by someone who was later blocked for socking and UPE, and accused of socking. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 13:14, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for clarifying. Slightly different circumstances from those of Gerda or myself, it seems. I'd be interested to see the percentage of Admins who have been blocked and for what reasons. Perhaps the stats are easily found. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:40, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ps: I am worried about Floq. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:10, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There's no need to worry about Floque. He blanked his page in solidarity with you being blocked but, of course, he edits so infrequently that he probably hasn't even noticed the unblock. The irony is, of course, that no one would have noticed his lack of activity. His last few edits have been just talking to you; his last foray into article space was two months ago. Interestingly, he's not usually so quick to criticise poor admin actions: it's only recently that he attempted to defend Graham Beard's partisan threats to an otherwise innocent editor (on my talk, of all places). On reflection, if it had been any editor other than ScottishFinnishRadish he might not have got involved, but it was a tempting opportunity to put the boot into an admin who had also asked Graham Beards to read WP:INVOLVED and then explain himself. Which Graham Beards has not yet done, and, indeed, has doubled down on. But why shouldn't he when he has such enablers? *sigh*
Congrats on the unblock! SerialNumber54129 12:40, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am worried precisely because he's almost not here anymore. - I don't deserve congrats because I did nothing to get unblocked, - common sense does ;) - Recommended reading today: Frye Fire, by sadly missed Vami_IV. (Precious still not done.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:51, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Floq is back. I left a comment there remembering that he once (in 2014, to be precise,) said "no foul, play on". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:19, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

RD on WP:ITNN - looking forward

[edit]

In case of interest, a little history of a nomination.

  • 20 Aug: news of the death of Maryvonne Le Dizès, no article in English, only one in Russian. No date of death. It didn't take long to find out that she played violin in a highly notable ensemble, ensemble intercontemporain where she even commissioned new compositions, and she taught for a long time: clearly notable. Thank goodness there were refs in English. I went ahead creating an article, but when I was ready to publish I noticed that Rigg had already done that. I merged the articles. 13 editors helped with the article.
  • 24 Aug: I nominate the article for the Recent deaths, date 20 Aug (when the news came around). Nominations need to be decided within the week following that date (so by 27 Aug), it's by simple support or oppose, which look at broadness of coverage and diligence of referencing. Usually closing admins want to see three supports and no oppose, but in many cases one support is enough: when the article clearly meets the requirements.
  • 25 Aug: the nom received a support.
  • 27 Aug: Nothing had happened, I made her my story, in hope, and marked the nomination with "needs attention" - a standard procedure. Nothing happened. I notified the three admins who often had helped me, - no response. You know the rest.

In the future - still hoping a case like this won't come again - I will inform fewer people of a problem and rely on my talk page more, and I will avoid the word "support" and replace it by "review". I urge everybody with a little time at the end of the day to check if there are any nominations needing attention on ITNN. I encourage everybody to follow what is on quoted on the top of Precious:

"grant each other the presumption that we are acting in good faith".

--Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:50, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Re: "grant each other the presumption that we are acting in good faith". FWIW, Gerda, I don't actually think there is any experienced, well-intentioned editor on WP, including the person who blocked you, who believes you are not acting in good faith. Even when I disagree with you, I am completely convinced you are always acting in good faith. Valereee (talk) 22:03, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the last sentence most of all. Blushing because of course it's too good to be true. I try but I'm no angel ;) - I assume that the block was done in good faith, but I have not yet understood what caused enough offence in requesting help ("Help?)) among a network of friends, project members (QAI, Women in Red, Classical music), people who were found generally helpful in the past, and people who had helped with the article. I don't understand why the words "help" and "support" would trigger a rather strong action without talking before - Today is Tag des offenen Denkmals, - I'll look at our "open monuments with dear people, including Schloss Weilburg. I'll tell you which songs we sang at church much later today. Yesterday's rehearsal was promising, and the concert magnificent. - Enjoy whatever you do! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:04, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Support" and "Oppose" are trigger words at RD. Grimes2 (talk) 06:17, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Calling for collaboration

[edit]

In the spirit of recommendations above:

  • I suggested Maryvonne Le Dizès for DYK, and my suggestion (see article talk or my user page) was not liked by a reviewer. Help with wording alternatives and/or discussion of suggestions welcome.

Quite generally: my user page has articles of interest every day, today "Jesu, der du meine Seele" four times, - find out why ;) Articles for review are listed on top of WT:QAI, and I'll add review wishes for RD there also (always hoping they will not be needed). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:53, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All done at this point, - thanks for help, Grimes2 and RoySmith! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:16, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've recently been very entertained by this classical trained harpist, pianist, and music teacher who was never exposed to rock music, but started a youtube channel called Virgin Rock where she does reaction videos showing her first time listening to different famous rock videos [songs] and then also gives an analytical break down of them from the perspective of a classical musician.

Draft:Violin scam

[edit]

Hello Gerda, I recently created a draft for the Violin scam. I know it is quite common globally. I was wondering if there was anything about it in German language media that could be used for expansion. Best, Thriley (talk) 21:18, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I watched someone doing this at Highbury & Islington station and I remember thinking that they were working so bloody hard on the mime that surely it would be easier to just play the wretched instrument! Cheers DBaK (talk) 08:57, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
They see to pop up for me wherever I travel too. I'm eager to establish where this scam began and how it proliferates. Some sources suggest that many "performers" are part of a larger criminal network. Thriley (talk) 16:40, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted edit at Jean Sibelius

[edit]

Hi, you've recently reverted my attempt to improve the link to Sibelius's Violin Concerto. Of course as you have pointed out, the key is not part of the title— apologies for that mistake.

What do you think about changing it to "His Violin Concerto in D minor"? I thought the original text, "The Violin Concerto in D minor", could be misleading and readers (or at least me) would think that the link linked to the general violin concerto article. I would appreciate your input on this.

(I created the topic here because I thought it was perhaps too trivial for the page talk. Thanks.) Chester 🇭🇰 (talk | contribs) 09:23, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you think it's misleading (but it wasn't in a decade I believe, and how how could a specific one, "The ... in D minor" mean the general violin concerto?) you could write "His Violin Concerto in D minor", but not within the piped link. Such questions are better raised at the article talk even if "trivial". Then others could reply if I was out. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:39, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
