The story is today about the first published composition by Arnold Schönberg which I was blessed to hear. Listen, and perhaps read what Alma Mahler (to-be-Mahler at the time, to be precise, who was present at the first performance) said, and yes that was too much for the Main page ;) -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:14, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Today's story is about a Bach cantata premiered 300 years ago OTD. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:23, 2 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

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) 13:18, 3 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Libuše Domanínská, the subject of yesterday's story, would have turned 100 today, but I missed that ;) - Overnight, Tamara Milashkina became GA and Lando Bartolini went to the Main page. I made my story about his almost unbelievable career, from Luigi in Il tabarro in Philadelphia in 1968 (with a nod to Liberty) up to Calaf in Turandot in Beijing in 1999 ;) - 4 July is also the birthday of Brian Boulton who was a pioneer of a concise infobox in 2013. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:08, 4 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Congrats on the GA!! DanCherek (talk) 02:54, 6 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you! On a friend's birthday - she is pictured on my talk - I have another RD death article that needs reviewing, Martti Wallén. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:53, 6 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Pictured on the Main page: Brian's Mozart family grand tour, my story today, and Mozart related to all three items of music on my talk: our 2023 concert, an opera in a theatre where a Mozart premiere took place, and those remembered, Martti Wallén, a bass, and Liana Isakadze, a violinist from Georgia, (whose article would be better with more details about her music-making). - In Bach's chorale cantata, BWV 107 will be next, perhaps good for a lilypond of the tune or the final chorale? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:01, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

If you point me at the specific part that should be transcribed, I can give it a shot. (I pulled it up on IMSLP but don't know where to look.) DanCherek (talk) 04:37, 11 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I wanted to link to Dahn, but when I last posted the website was under maintenance. here - melody looks slightly embellished, for the triple metre's sake. - Today's story is about an outstanding violinist from Georgia, which is a sad story in the end. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:49, 11 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you, just what I needed ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:31, 11 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I remember today it today, in Bach's 1724 cantata for this Sunday which is unusual in many respects. Another woman needs attention for RD, Marina Kondratyeva. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:30, 14 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

She's on the Main page now. My story today is - because of the anniversary of the premiere OTD in 1782 - about Die Entführung aus dem Serail, opera by Mozart, while yesterday's was - because of the TFA - about Les contes d'Hoffmann, opera by Offenbach, - so 3 times Mozart again if you click on "music" ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:46, 16 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I don't think one can ever have too much Mozart so looks great to me! DanCherek (talk) 22:43, 18 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you! Especially for the Clarinet Quintet I heard yesterday, with Sabine Meyer (click on music). - I was so pleased that you promoted Thomas Hoepker to RD before I went to bed, - did you feel that I was getting nervous? - Today's story is about Ruth Hesse though (Hoepker to come tomorrow), with a pic in the article only, sadly. I found it difficult to point at a YouTube sample, because yes, her signature roles - the Nurse and Brangäne - exist in great full-length operas with great casts, but hard to find her, - well, for the Nurse she's easy to find, at the very beginning, but too much orchestra to really hear the personal quality of her voice. - Talking of YouTube: today I was pointed at Elijah by a friend who performed in the concert of the Dessoff Choirs in their centenary year, and I'm quite impressed by samples (beginning and No. 32 where I linked it) - enjoy. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:06, 19 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Next cantata: Wo Gott der Herr nicht bei uns hält, BWV 178, chorale here, two stanzas, but one would be fine, I think. I plan to nominate it for GA when further expanded. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:31, 19 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Found Ruth Hesse singing Brangäne's warning out of curiosity (timestamp 1:39:47), but not a very good capture either imo. DanCherek (talk) 01:26, 20 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for the music, and I agree about Brangäne. - Today's story is - as you know best - about the photographer who took iconic pictures, especially View from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on Manhattan, 9/11. Don't miss video. If that's not enough my talk offers chamber music from two amazing concerts. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:47, 20 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

... and today's story begins with Psalm 124, paraphrased in 1524, and put to five (!) chorale settings in one cantata by Bach in 1724, for this Sunday. Nominated for GA. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:52, 21 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Just a look at music (on my talk) shows remembrance of three people who died, and creating an article or improving one is all I can do. Three are on the Main page today, and three others planned ... --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:57, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

The cantata became GA! - On Bach's day of death my story is about his cantata Was frag ich nach der Welt, BWV 94, although the article needs work, and lilypond would be for movement 8, one stanza, - those interested in the meaning will have to read a translation. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:12, 28 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you, taken! - Listen to Halleluja in today's story ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:25, 29 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia:Main Page history/2024 July 30b will have a baritone, a violinist, a composer and a Bach cantata, - almost too much, and the composer's article, Wolfgang Rihm, should be better, help wanted. - Plenty of music on my parents anniversary day ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:10, 30 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I wasn't spamming and if it seemed that way it wasn't meant to appear that way and it wasn't J. M. Barrie's Amazon bio I was using I was only trying to raise awareness of Peter Von Brown since he apparently is a renown scholar on the subject of James Matthew Barrie receiving Honors at Knox College for his Independent Study of Sir J.M. Barrie as a Modern Mythmaker and was privy to the actual unused notes left by J.M. Barrie himself, jotted down as Barrie mused upon a new adventure for Pan. Therefore he might be someone to at the vey least acknowledge in passing or he might not but what if there's some truth in his bio? — Preceding unsigned comment added by CSOOCS (talk • contribs) 21:41, 18 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Even portions of your message here contain text copied from Barrie's Brown's bio, because I know you didn't write the phrase jotted down as Barrie mused upon a new adventure for Pan yourself. DanCherek (talk) 22:06, 18 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I did mean to write Brown's bio instead of Barrie's bio, though. DanCherek (talk) 22:09, 18 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I'm sorry but this wasn't spamming just requesting a note to raise awareness of the author if you take this as some sort of a personal attack against Wikipedia perhaps such a thing might be taken out of context. One shouldn't assume the worst, this was just an innocent suggestion not some act of maliciousness against Wikipeda — Preceding unsigned comment added by CSOOCS (talk • contribs) 22:18, 18 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I don't think it was malicious, just misguided, and sorry if my wording was harsh. I've modified my original message on your talk page to say "posting", not "spamming". DanCherek (talk) 22:25, 18 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Administrator DanCherek this was only to make aware of the author, some of your Users feel he is not worth mentioning because he self-publishes but one shouldn't disregard him if he is somewhat established. This is precisely why I stepped back from editing on Wikipedia because it caused too many unnecessary conflicts with others who were consistently squabbling with one another over what was best for such and such articles on Wikipedia. I try to return to help out in contributing in some way or other and now it starts all over again. NOTHING'S MUCH CHANGED...it's only become MORE COMPLICATED with all these BRAND NEW RULES TO NOT VIOLATE. I'm sorry if I'm venting but you can't add anything nowadays to this site without someone finding some sort of fault in it — Preceding CSOOCS comment added by CSOOCS (talk • contribs) 22:41, 18 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I'm sorry if you feel like your contributions aren't valued at Wikipedia. They are important. When editors disagree about a part of an article, it's typically resolved through discussion on the talk page, so I'm glad you are giving your thoughts at Talk:List of works based on Peter Pan. My initial post on your talk page was simply a request after I noticed that you were copy/pasting a similar blurb about von Brown's credentials to multiple pages. It's best to keep discussion centralized at the talk page in question. I understand your frustration and hope you feel better. DanCherek (talk) 01:22, 19 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Really charming ain’t they? Think he’s had enough rope with his talk page access? MM (Give me info.) ^(Victories) 22:36, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, I've revoked it. Thanks! DanCherek (talk) 22:38, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

the article is about my father. I am Francis J Hale, III. If Dad were still alive, he would be 102. I wrote all the material for his obituary and have added a little more. Is there anything else I should write or say? Check USAF Space Command - Space and Missile Pioneers, or West Point D-day class of 1944 I was prompted to write this when I looked up a USMA classmate of his John H Cushman, LT Gen and one of his closest friends. Thank you FJ Hale (talk) 19:13, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi FJ Hale, thanks for your interest in contributing to Wikipedia. The primary criteria for determining whether someone is notable enough for a Wikipedia article is the extent of significant coverage that they have received in reliable, independent sources. See also the notability guideline for people for more information about this. At the moment, the only source in the draft is the Air Force Space Command biography. It needs more sources that cover him in detail to establish notability. DanCherek (talk) 22:26, 25 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I will see what I can do. thank you FJ Hale (talk) 03:20, 26 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Dear Daniel Cherek,

I recently published a Biography of an Academic of the National Royal Academy of Pharmacy of Spain, Bartolomé Ribas, who happens to be my grandfather, and you have deleted my publication because, firstly, it was written in Spanish, and secondly, it "violated the copyright guidelines". You have to know, that I am new to Wikipedia and am only using it for the first time because my Grandfather, Bartolomé Ribas Ozonas requested me to write his Biography in Wikipedia as a favor I m willing to do because he is unable to use the internet at his 89 years old... The content that I supposedly "copyrighted" is actually only his own document he gave me so I can fill out his biography with that exact data. I have his explicit consent and I am furthermore not entering in any kind of plagiarism, even if it may seem so to anyone who is alien to this topic and to me, as the author of a biograohy I am obviously an expert about. You should also understand, that because it is my first time publishing a Wikipedia page, that I made the accidental misktake of publishing it in the English Wikipedia instead of the Spanish Wikipedia. This is due to the fact that my computer is set in English and my grandfather, as is name and his biography states, if you have read it, speaks and works in Spanish. It appears that all of my hard work, carefully writing down all of the achievements he has made in his lifetime of being a successfull doctor and investigator, has been deleted, and now there is no way for me to recover them in my account. I am very dissapointed with this and I please beg you to send me the content back so I can publish it correctly again in the Spanish Wikipedia, and also with the due copyright rules I would also ask you to better explain to me so my page will not be deleted again.

Best Regards,

Please email me at dancherekwiki gmail.com and I can send you the contents of the deleted draft. The reason for deletion was not that it was in Spanish, but rather solely that it matched text from sources such as https://ranf.com/academico/ribas-ozonas-bartolome/, which are not compatibly licensed with Wikipedia. Content may be released by the copyright owner into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license by following the instructions at WP:DONATETEXT.

Hello mate, I see you've made edits with edit summary that reads "changed visibility of a revision on page Miriam Makeba: content hidden (RD1: Violations of copyright policy)" As your follower, this is confusing me haha but I'd like to know what it actually mean.   Sorry! for interruption. dxneo (talk) 08:34, 3 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
