Dear Netherzone, thank you for your feedback on the page of Ana Mesquita (artist) - I believe I understood your views on the quality of the page although I disagree with some of the harsher comments - Portugal is a small country and the artistic scene has been enriched by many women artists that pursue less traditional forms of visual arts and privilege collaboration with other artists in multimedia formats - and Ana Mesquita is one of them.
I fear that my lack of experience in writing for Wikipedia while following best-practices may have colored the approach to this page - but wish to press on and write this page better and move on to write other pages - I live in Portugal and in Norway and am interested in furthering the visibility of artists and scientists of both countries in an environment that is, often, rather English-centric both in culture and in language.
English is presently both the "official language of internet" and the official language of several countries (USA and UK, etc.) which tends to create a slightly negative bias on the perception of cultural relevance of non-English artists and scientists. It is a problem that I hope to mitigate in my humble way, article by article.
Thanks again

that coloratura soprano Anna Nekhames performed first in the Bolshoi Theatre's children's chorusimmediately drew me in. Why? Precisely because I was unfamiliar with the term, coloratura soprano. As a inquisitive person I wanted to learn more. Secondly because I had no idea that the Bolshoi Theatre had a children's chorus. A hook not only draws in those who are familiar, but more importantly (at least to my way of thinking) draws in readers who are NOT familiar with a subject. The value in this IMO is that it shares knowledge, which is a fundamental goal of the encyclopedia. One reviewer's personal opinion of what constitutes "interestingness" should not have such influence over what appears on the main page. I'm so sorry that your valuable and well-crafted contributions have been undergoing such subjective scrutiny. Keep on doing what you are doing, Gerda. You are amazing, and appreciated!

Hello, Netherzone,
I was familiar with User:L'Origine du monde from about 2015 and decided to spend some time today figuring out what they did to receive an indefinite block and it seems a lot of it had to do with their conduct on this article and its talk page. I was wondering since you spend some time in 2023 cleaning up the article whether the tag about having a "closely connected" editor can be removed. If you were referring to L'Origine du monde, they are blocked now and won't be editing it any longer and I assume you removed the inappropriate content. I'm not proxying for L'Origine du monde, I haven't had content with them since their first indefinite block years ago. But since I was reviewing the article as part of my search for information, I was wondering if you believed the tag was still appropriate. If "yes", then so be it but since you are more familiar with the page than I am, I thought you were the best person to ask. Many thanks! Liz Read! Talk! 02:06, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

I certainly did not want to scare them off. I wonder if there was another more diplomatic way to both make the editor feel safe -and- warn him/her about the concerns described in
WP:BAIT.
I have seen far too many new editors come here mistakenly believing they can make a fix to an article to correct something that to them seems blatantly obvious it should be permissible to do, and then they don't understand the push back to their change and the seemingly bizarre policy reasons given. They can down in flames because they truly believe that the change they want to make is most definitely right, and they have no idea how their edits of complaint against an experienced user--one who strongly disagrees--might be used against them at
WP:AN/I to unfair advantage as described in
WP:BAIT. It seemed to me that things were headed that way, so
ARoseWolf and I both tried to encourage -and- warn the new editor. I am curious how you (and anyone else listening here) might have handled it differently when we first encountered the dispute. This seems like a good case in point for the challenges of keeping new editors. --

Hello, Netherzone,
I hope you are well. I just postponed deleting a lot of drafts created by Doncram, as I always do when I come across them in my CSD G13 patrolling. I noticed that you had edited many of them, marking them as "promising drafts".
My question for you is do you know whether there are editors currently working on finishing up these unfinished drafts? I'm happy to postpone deleting them now but I'm thinking about in another six months, November 2024 or 2025. If there aren't editors spending time taking care of projects that were unfinished when he passed, I question indefinitely postponing their deletion. I considered posting this message on his User talk page but I don't know if many of his fellow editors have that page still Watchlisted and I thought directing my question to an individual was more likely to get a response. Or is there an active WikiProject which would be a suitable place to inquire? Thanks for any information or thoughts you can offer. Take care. Liz Read! Talk! 20:38, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

Today I see Marian Anderson as my top story (by NBC, 1939), and below (on my talk) three people with raised arms, - and the place is the cherry blossom in Frauenstein. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 16:22, 9 April 2024 (UTC) Enjoy elsewhere! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 16:24, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
Thinking of you! - plum tree blossom for Kalevi Kiviniemi in the snow - see my talk -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:00, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
today a sad task - memory of Andrew Davis - turned into entertainment (yt at the bottom of his article, actually both) -- the latest pictures capture extreme weather -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:39, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
I believe I resolved your concerns and so removed the tag. If you disagree, please let me know and explain why. Thanks! JDtoBee ( talk) 15:46, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Netherzone,
I hope you are well. I just postponed deleting a lot of drafts created by Doncram, as I always do when I come across them in my CSD G13 patrolling. I noticed that you had edited many of them, marking them as "promising drafts".
My question for you is do you know whether there are editors currently working on finishing up these unfinished drafts? I'm happy to postpone deleting them now but I'm thinking about in another six months, November 2024 or 2025. If there aren't editors spending time taking care of projects that were unfinished when he passed, I question indefinitely postponing their deletion. I considered posting this message on his User talk page but I don't know if many of his fellow editors have that page still Watchlisted and I thought directing my question to an individual was more likely to get a response. Or is there an active WikiProject which would be a suitable place to inquire? Thanks for any information or thoughts you can offer. Take care. Liz Read! Talk! 20:38, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

I came across you via the Corinne Silva page and see that you're a page reviewer. Would you mind reviewing 2 pages I created that are awaiting review. draft:Rivka Bayech and Draft:Logan Levkoff Thanks. MaskedSinger ( talk) 08:55, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

On the bicentenary of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, I remember our recent uplifting choral concert in pictures, on my user page and in my concerts (leading to the two at the church's article). The closest was in the paper. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:19, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
Today is the Feast of the Ascension for which Bach composed his oratorio, - perhaps watch a bit how the closing movement was performed in Bach's church. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:58, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
Magdalena Hinterdobler is on the Main page today, together with an opera that reviewers deemed not interesting and too obscure for our general readers. The soprano thought differently, - listen and see. - Also on the Main page: a TFA by sadly missed Vami_IV. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 10:30, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
yesterday's story remembered an oratorio world premiere I was in, conducted by the composer - how are you? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 13:17, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
I heard lovely chamber music today, and the DYK mentions "profoundly human" singing (that you can watch), connected to a place where we'll sing in September -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 22:25, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
I liked seeing Erschallet, ihr Lieder on the Main page today, 310 years after the first performance! We sang it in 2000. Today's program was easier but also spirited. I found a nice video of "I will sing with the spirit", with nature photography, - enjoy. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:34, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for improving articles in May, even from elsewhere! - Today's story mentions a concert I loved to hear and a piece I loved to sing in choir, 150 years old OTD. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 15:14, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Today's story is about the TFA, by sadly missed Vami_IV. In my support in 2018, I hoped to do justice to Schloss Köthen next - which I will begin today, finally, promised. Its Bachsaal was pictured to begin this year year. For more related thoughts and music, look on my talk for 1 June. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 12:23, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
Enjoy today's story, related to my topic of the year: 300 years Bach's chorale cantatas, and the first was written for today, - listen to the music, beginning with a French overture for a chorale fantasy. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:38, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
Franz Kafka died 100 years ago OTD, hence the story. I uploaded a few pics from the visit of Graham87. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 15:42, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
New pics of spectacular weather. Another interesting person: Alexander Lang. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:17, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
