Hi Gerda, the infoboxes clarification request in which you were named as a party has been closed and archived. The Committee clarified that acting on behalf of a restricted user to breach a restriction is WP:PROXYING and so is not permitted.

WP:PROXYING, which is
a policy says "Wikipedians in turn are not permitted to post or edit material at the direction of a banned editor (sometimes called proxy editing or proxying) unless they are able to show that the changes are either verifiable or productive and they have independent reasons for making such edits"

Hello Gerda, nice to meet you. Are you really the Notorious Infoboxen WikiCriminal that has been terrorizing the music articles? :-) As you can see from my first posting on AGK's talkpage, up above the duromac thing, I am *also* a notorious wikiCriminal. Or at least, notoriously silly (AGK blocked me -- then later unblocked me -- when they mistook one of my not-all-that-funny jokes over on the Bishzilla talkpage).
But my actual question for you is this -- I did not really understand your reply to me.
Well, okay, I understood the watchlist part, and the thank-you part. You are surely welcome. <bows>
But what button and what secret thing are you referring to? I do login as an IP, of course (you can call me 74 if you like), but User_talk:Clover1991 has registered a pseudonym; they are the one submitting the article, not me. Maybe the link to the 'secret' thing in my message was was confusing -- it is just a pokemon character, one of many not-very-notable-toys which has a long article in mainspace, badly in need of cleanup, and short on reliable sources. The pokeman-article is not related to the Duromac thing, directly, I was just using it as a metaphorical example of how wimpy our deletionist-standards are when something is 'popular' to some degree in the english-speaking-world. 74.192.84.101 ( talk) 14:05, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the "Precious" acknowledgement that you made on my talk page back in December. I can honestly say that it made my day when I discovered it. I sadly no longer have time to contribute to the project, but it is very gratifying to know that my contributions back then are still appreciated.
I am very curious to know how you managed to stumble upon my contributions, though? It's been so long now since I was a regular editor here and I assumed that my work had been forgotten! Cheers, Ashnard Talk Contribs 22:47, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
Dear Gerda, I have just noticed you have been engaging in The Great Game with WP over the past couple of months! Rather you than me... I am a vulture for quiet anonymity these days if it can be found anywhere. (Instead I am vainly trying to find useful fingerings for the Musical Offering fugues and to make my left-hand trills on fingers 3 & 4 sound like something other than a dying weasel. I also had a wisdom tooth out, which has wonderfully improved my vocal resonance - on one side only.) But, I hope you won't let such matters affect your seemingly infinite productivity or cause you to forget that you have many friends here. On the whole the value of the good far outweighs the annoyance of the bad, and when one considers how far the English Wikipedia has come and the work that it is doing there are bound to be frustrations along the way. May I take this opportunity of wishing you a very happy New Year. yours, Eebahgum ( talk) 05:32, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
Fortunately I was never tempted to aim for adminship. Even in my schooldays I was recognized as unfit to be a school prefect, for which I have since become very grateful. It taught me that my own personality, with all faults, was unsuitable even for basic training in officialdom. It was perhaps incongruous that a Quaker school should have had prefects. If prefects, why not Bishops? Liktors? It took us long enough to get rid of Ministers! One must listen within. Sorrow? Leiden (as in Werther) gets near but it doesn't mean the same thing, and Sorg is not the same either. Sorgen-schwerheit? To find an unbastardized sentiment one must consult an antique dictionary. Is there a German word for 'Sorry'? Eebahgum ( talk) 13:12, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for the sapphire—cornflower blue is a color of some significance to me. In the maelstrom that Wikipedia can sometimes be, remember these words from Ode to Joy:

Hi Gerda,
The way I understand Wikipedia's guidelines is that I do not have to discuss edits beforehand, you know, being bold. But since you did revert my edits, I am obliged to explain, so here goes.
There are four bits there, which to me, could either be reworked to prose and using the quotations as a source, or just leave them out. For argument's sake, I'll copy-pasty them here to show what I mean.
I hope this explain my edit. Feel free to come with counterarguments. -- Soetermans. T / C 12:23, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
Hallo Gerda. As you can imagine, since the last ArbCom election I've been following the infobox arbitration case more closely. You might be interested in how I would have voted (had I been elected) at the 2 motions that have been proposed by WTT. Motion Number 1, I would have supported: Folantin's duck test is quite convincing. It seems that Andy, or somebody close to him under his instructions, adds infoboxes as an IP to his article. I would amend the original ArbCom remedy to allow Andy to add infoboxes to articles created by him for 3 reasons. #1 It's silly to enact an unenforceable remedy. #2 Under the original decision, you, Gerda, can add infoboxes to articles you create, so Andy should be allowed too, under the equal rights clause. #3 The continuance of the remedy as it stands is punitive rather than to avoid disruption, which is against stated policy. Motion Number 2, I would have opposed, on the grounds that ArbCom should maintain an open door for any legitimate request. To ask for an amendment/revision after a shuffle in ArbCom's membership, is legitimate and can not be held against anybody. Cheers. Kraxler ( talk) 14:11, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi, sorry I reverted your addition of The Crescent (Birmingham) to the DYK stats as it was added under January. I've been trying to move it into February but I'm not managing it - can I leave you to add it yourself, please? I did try doing a self revert but it will just make a mess as you've been adding others. Apologies again! SagaciousPhil - Chat 10:24, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
Gerda, I noticed that the other day you offered to supply (did supply?) a QPQ for one of Andy's nominations. Another one is on the verge of being closed due to a lack of response (which has been going on for a while); I didn't know whether you wanted to be so incredibly generous again. I'll certainly wait until Andy is back on line and has a chance to respond before closing it myself, but I can't guarantee that someone else won't close it in the interim. Thanks in any case.

Given your interest in music, Gerda, I thought you might like to assist in improving our coverage of female dancers which I am trying to promote in connection with International Women's Day/Month. You seem to be well placed to sift through the German-language biographies which have not yet appeared in English. I have started a List of female dancers but there are certainly lots of other important figures to be added to the sections on Germany and Austria. If you don't have the time or inclination to write up the bios, then it would be a help if you could simply add names to the list with a few words explaining each dancer's involvement together with a reference. Alternatively, you could simply add names to Wikipedia:WikiWomen's_History_Month/To-do_list#Dance. Any help you can provide to encourage general participation would also be greatly appreciated. Let me know too if you have any suggestions for improvements.-- Ipigott ( talk) 11:59, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

P.S. I need some slight help, if possible! I have corrected the French version of the article Cippi of Melqart, but I can't do the same with the German article (Ich kann kein Deutsch sprechen) - you see, there's the 'tradition' that these artefacts were found in Tas-Silg, Marsaxlokk, but this is not the case. I sourced and explained the controversy in the English article, and amended the French one, but can't do the same with the mistake on the German page.

Hi Gerda, you might remember me from such Teutonic articles as Erich Kettelhut. I have just put some work into the Weimar Republic masterpiece The Mistress of the World, but I really don't have the time to push it for DYK. You or a Project member may have more of an interest in pushing this article, or just improving or linking it further. ...or maybe you may just enjoy the article.

Granted! A long term goal could be to get all of the articles up to GA at least. I'm planning a similar thing with Academy Award winning films. Haha although there's rather a LOT of cantatas to do... Maybe 5-10 GAs and 3 FAs would be a better short term goal.. Happy to review any of them, although I might have to ask you to review a few of mine!♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:17, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

The DYK project ( nominate) 17:37, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
Gerda, it is always inappropriate to add an icon to someone else's review. If you want to make your own review and add an icon, that's fine. If you want to query someone as to whether they meant to add an icon and ask them to add it, that's also fine.
ColonelHenry had expressed doubts in other areas earlier. It may be that he thinks that ALT7 is fine even though those issues remain, or that he's satisfied that the issues have been settled or don't really matter. We don't know, and unless and until he places an icon himself, we can't be sure. In the meantime, please refrain from putting DYK icons for anyone other than yourself. Thank you.

You all will need brooms. In the broadest possible sense, broomfighting is the art and science of armed combat against April frogs, leaving indecent messages, and is involving cleaning, dusting or antiseptic weapons directly manipulated by hand, shot or thrown (in other words, brooms, dusters, sponges, mops, dual brooms, and so on). Very similar to its sister sport fencing, it involves the use of non-lethal cleaning objects to strike opponnents and consequently claim victory. In contemporary common usage, broomfighting tends to refer specifically to the American School of Broomsmanship. Hafspajen ( talk) 14:09, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Gerda, I'm not sure what waiting for a little while will do at this nomination: the nominator has basically said that there won't be any Wikipedia contributions due to pressing schoolwork for at least a couple of months, and expressed the hope that someone else might take on the issues you've identified, since that's the only way they'll get done. That's simply too long to wait.
Were you planning to try to find someone to deal with the article's issues, or do it yourself? If not, the nomination should probably be closed, since the nominator has said there won't be any more work from that quarter. BlueMoonset ( talk) 22:19, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:22, 16 April 2014 (UTC) 00:02, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi Gerda!! Greetings again. I was thinking about DYK the other day and realized I had another article in the works at the time of the Josiah Gregg dustup. I pulled out the files and spent some time upgrading Nancy Kelsey's page. Do you think that is enough added material for DYK? I ran the DYK check on it and I think I confused it somehow (or myself). It is not telling me if it is long enough or not. I was really careful about paraphrasing but again I'm up against the same problem for an editor working in old history - few sources and most of them are written pretty much the shortest possible way to tell the story. So I was careful not to paraphrase the source I was using - but I have no way to know if some other source changed it all around the same way I did! Your comments and suggestions would be most gratefully received along with your opinion if this is good enough for DYK. Thank you so much! Ellin Beltz ( talk) 20:05, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

(outdent) "I also consider it a gesture of respect to allow people to define their own national identity and heal historic wounds." No one denied that; no one denied that a French person born in French Algeria is a French national if they define themselves as such. We do not even talk about ethnicities/nationalities here. All I am saying is that there exist certain facts: for example the Czech Republic did not exist before 1969, R Macedonia did not exist before 1943, Ukraine (as a state) did not exist before 1917, Austria was the Federal State of Austria in 1934–1938, etc. A kind of anachronistic and revisionist thinking about history could lead to immense confusion. It would be absurd to list Alfred Jaëll's place of birth as "Trieste, Italy" and his nationality as "Austrian". It is a matter of principle to acknowledge the historical facts. Lastly, I note that the whole discussion about the appropriateness of using the "BRD/DDR" terminology has to take into consideration common English usage and the academic consensus (as per WP:CCPOL). -- Omnipaedista ( talk) 06:36, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Georgejdorner ( talk) 16:32, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi Gerda. I'd like you to withdraw this. While the hook can be referenced, there are a lot of sources in the article which have no page numbers, and many of them (most in fact) are referenced to original letters and documents in the UK National Archives and not as precisely referenced as they should be. Technically each letter quoted should be referenced separately rather than lumped together. e.g. "Letters to and from Trevor Corry to the Secretary of State for the Northern Department, Thomas Thynne, 3rd Viscount Weymouth. Secretaries of State: State Papers Foreign, Poland. The National Archives, Kew, Richmond, Surrey". There's no way this can be fixed in the timescale of DYK. Some might even start screaming "original research". Two other refs (one of which is used multiple times) are too imprecise to verify and are marked as such. Given the current atmosphere at DYK, the article is liable to be pulled to shreds. It's the first contribution by a brand new editor, who's still finding his way around Wikipedia. He potentially has a lot to offer, and I'm hoping I can encourage him to become a regular contributor here. See [29]. Frankly, I think this has the potential to be a very confusing and demoralising experience for him. It's up to you, but I hope you'll understand my reasoning. If you do go ahead with it (and I hope you won't), my name should not be credited. I merely did mechanical work on it and a few minor additions. Best, Voceditenore ( talk) 08:12, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

I see you noticed my edit to Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel. I was listening to a recording by Hoffmann, and realized I didn't know anything about him. Come to find out, neither does Wikipedia (ok, Wikipedia knows a *little* about him). He wrote a Magnificat that was misattributed to J.S. Bach for most of the 19th-century (as BWV Anh. 21) if the liner notes of the CD (Pro-Arte CDD 185) are to be believed. Wikipedia doesn't mention this mis-attribution anywhere, either. Does researching this further appeal to you at all? If so, I'd love to collaborate with you on it (the composer and/or the work).

Hi, all I was saying was that we have to list the same DYK review criteria for all nominated articles. "New enough" and "sourcing checked by GA reviewer" are not enough. There's also "long enough", "at least 1 inline cite per paragraph", "no close paraphrasing", "hook ref verified and cited inline", and "QPQ done". GA and DYK reviews are not the same; we recently found close paraphrasing in a different GA nom. Best, Yoninah ( talk) 21:17, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

They may participate in wider policy discussions regarding infoboxes with no restriction, and include infoboxes in new articles which they create." Note that a) "create" means something different than "major contributor", and b) "making more than two comments in discussing the inclusion or exclusion of an infobox on a given article" is broader than simply "making more than two comments in a particular discussion". The first restriction you have clearly violated several times, most recently today; the last you have likely violated on multiple occasions.

Hi Gerda, cangratulations on the above DYK - well deserved!
And thank you very much for your moral support in my church building article - much appreciated. However, frankly, I think there are times when article-creators have to quickly withdraw a nom to protect the article from major interference. While Bencherlite was right to draw attention to shortcomings in the article, and there would have been time to do a big re-edit as you say, the article was at risk of huge summary deletions and section-blankings from well-intentioned editors in the short term, so long as the nom was in progress.
This is an important article as (in my opinion) the church building is currently at risk of structural neglect and damage from certain people and agendas. So the building is up for listing for its own protection, and the public information needs to be available. To keep it in line with WP, yes it does need urgent re-editing and more research, but I am currently stretched between that job and helping to clear the DYK review backlog, which is equally important - because there are plenty of other articles out there which deserve exposure on the front page for all sorts of valid reasons.
If you would really like to support my work on this article, I'd love it if you could please watch it and help protect it from well-meaning content-deletions. It's already suffered the removal of all mention of one of the curate's wives. Anglican priests and their wives have always been equally important in parish teamwork, the wife almost always doing full-time and valid but unpaid and uncredited parish work. In 19th century news articles about local church matters, it's significant that parishioners always give equal gifts, praise and thanks to both the priest and his wife when they retire or move on to the next church. So to remove the curate's wife from the article is a non-neutral, sexist, outdated and (if you like) anti-feminist action - though I accept that the deleter may be from another culture and may not be aware of the curate's wife's importance.
My apologies for such a long message. Meanwhile, please let me know if there's anything I can do in return, e.g. if you spot a languishing DYK nom which needs extra support. Cheers. -- Storye book ( talk) 08:37, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
Hi, hope you are well. Do you remember a few weeks ago when you suggested I start an article and then I stole Hafspajen's idea and the French article on Georges Clairin? It is still languishing on my subpage because (among other reasons) the French version had text in "citation bloc" templates. Do you know or any of your friends know what I should use as the equivalent here (I will obviously translate the text within it). Belle ( talk) 11:26, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
It doesn't seem like the documentation at {{ Infobox NRHP}} gives any clue as to how to use it. That template was itself mostly copied from {{ infobox protected area}}, which suggests "a city with a major airport or a large gateway town where supplies and lodging are available." But, obviously, that language makes more sense when we're talking about protected areas, not heritage register listings.
For NRHP I have used it to refer to the nearest municipality anywhere that is incorporated as a city, which is usually some place that people outside that region of the country will have heard of. So I chose Stamford, which is a city. However, distance-wise I'm not sure, now that you make me think about it, if White Plains (also a city) isn't just as close.
That said, I think using out-of-state cities in some cases makes sense (see Lace House (Canaan, New York), very near the MA state line and much closer to Pittsfield, Massachusetts, than any city in that part of New York.
Of course, what this whole discussion increasingly makes me think of is whether the NRHP infobox actually needs that parameter or not anymore, especially with the map functionality available. Daniel Case ( talk) 21:45, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Aloha. I am sorry to bother you, but I have a few simple questions about an article in Der Spiegel. Google translate works fine to get the overall meaning, but when it comes to using the material in an article, that's another matter. For example, there's this sentence:
Molly Crabapple hat eine neue Rolle erfunden: die politische Journalistenkünstlerin. Sie zeichnet, schreibt journalistische Texte, und was ihr tagsüber durch den Kopf geht, twittert sie an ihre 41 000 Follower.
Google translate gives the following result:
Molly Crabapple has invented a new role: the political journalists artist. It is characterized writes journalistic texts, and what her daytime goes through her head, she tweets to her 41,000 followers.

Gerda, please see this discussion for some background. The creator of the article has now "disappeared". Can you help expand the article? Do you know someone who could? Article content isn't my forte, and working on an article about a Pole when I don't even know the language is that much harder. I know it's not choral-related, but it is classical music. In glancing at the Polish wiki, it doesn't look like there are many sources for the material. I'm not keen on adding material that is unsourced, even though I've created a mostly unsourced framework. Plus, I don't know how notable the fellow is outside Poland where there might be English sources. I admit I haven't done much research into it, though.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 13:24, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

A little warning -a music school is NOT the regular music gymnasium, but something with a much lower profile. (and filnm school) A kind of Hochschule, but NOT university and not music High school. No regular education, I may say, but bits and parts here and there.
Mansoor Hosseini, born 1967, is a Swedish composer.
Mansoor Hosseini has studied composition under Phillipe Capdenat and Yoshihisa Taïra in Paris. He studied music theory and computer music with Peter Swinnen at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels and composition for Carl-Axel Hall in the Gothenburgs Music school. He later studied film scoring at the University of Gothenburg and scriptwriting at Gothenburg's film school, now the Akademin Valand. After studying with George Aperghis he started to compose music in Mauricio Kagel's style.
In 2003, Hosseini founded Gothenburg Music & Dance Company (GMDC), which in 2007 transformed into the Ensemble Themus in Gothenburg with a goal to popularize the concept of theatrical music -or theatre music? bit unclear concept His work in theatrical music is inspired by modern dance, theater and martial arts.
As a percussionist Hosseini is fascinated by improvisation. He employs a lot of improvisation and sometimes uses a system of improvisation in his compositions that gives freedom to the musicians to improvised in a controlled and measured way. He lectures in musical notation, composition, communication between musicians and composers and musicians and musical notation. (whatewever that is)

Beste Gerda!
As you can see I have created a new template for Bruckner's cantatas. Currently there are wiki-pages for only three of Bruckner's cantatas ( Festive Cantata, Germanenzug and Helgoland).
During the Kronstorf and Sankt Florian periods Bruckner composed five Name-day cantatas. Two of these earlier cantatas were re-issued later for other Name-days or other festivities (see WAB 61b, 61c, and WAB 93b, 93c on List of compositions by Anton Bruckner). Unfortunately the are very few literature available on these earlier cantatas and only two (the Festgesang WAB 60 and the Mayer Cantate WAB 15) have been recorded as yet. I am, however, intended to draft wiki-pages on these earlier cantatas (which could be expanded, when new literature data or new recordings would be available).
Do you agree?

Hi, Gerda!
Wow! You look like a really busy Wikipedian! So I'm doubly appreciaive of your support for my efforts on the Talk:The_Final_Cut_(album) page. Thank you so much!
What would really help me is if you go to that article, review the two edits being fought over, and expressed your preferences on the article's Talk page. Anybody can post to a talk page, whether they contributed to the article or not. It would help me A LOT to have some support, because right now it's 3 against 1, and I am the 1.
Either way, I wish you the best! ~j.

Beste Gerda, Writing pages on Bruckner's works is not an easy job, because there are often several versions and editions of his works, and a lot works, e.g. the String Quartet and Psalm 146, were not issued, even never performed during his life. The older books over Bruckner are mostly not giving very accurate info on this matter. I had so to update, even correct in depth several wiki-pages on Bruckner's works. For this purpose C. van Zwol's recent book is an excellent reference - unfortunately only available in Dutch. I would have preferred to have two boxes than one. If others think that one box is the best choice, I will not quarrel. I will review the concerned articles ( String Quartet, String Quintet and Four Orchestral Pieces) and check whether the removed info is present in the body of the article.

Dear Gerda, thank you so much for your appreciation and thanks for my short introduction to Anne Sofie von Otter. I'm admiring your outstanding efforts for Wiki very much. One thought: You are writing outstanding articles about the Bach cantatas. Obviously you know nearly all interpretations, especially those by Rilling. In this coherence and your personal involvement to Francfort: You surely know Hans Joachim Erhard, an outstanding organist and especially (!) continuo player in the recording cycles of the cantatas with Rilling until his death in 1990. I personally think, he should be included in Wiki, because he really is/has been notable. How do you think about? Best wishes and thanks, -- BachChopinFavorite ( talk) 13:23, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm not sure where else to go. A user named John has deleted the evidence he purports to not know the existence of in a current ANI discussion. I reverted his edit that attempted to cover up the evidence, and his response was to threaten to ban me.

Hi Gerda, I didn't have time yesterday to explain my reasoning to you regarding my AN post but will now. First, I wasn't aware of what was happening until I saw this comment to Belle's page, which I thought wasn't neutrally worded. When I noticed the AN thread, it seemed to me that it was going very fast, and that people were chiming in, who perhaps lack the context of the full story that began on a page I was working in November 2011, so I thought it might be a good idea to try to slow it down - although I really dislike posting in those kinds of discussions.
Before posting I took a look at Boing's page, saw your note and I took a look at the link to Anna Kravtchenko and the talk page, which to me seemed as though you were bringing attention to yet another issue - without coming right out and saying why. My feeling is that once a person is thanked, either on their page or with the notification system (of course because that's hidden there's no way of knowing whether you use it), it tends to add a sense of urgency and factionalism to a situation that instead needs de-escalation, which in turn could, to a degree, make the person somewhat involved.
As I mentioned earlier, I've been more than involved because this long series of events began with a dispute I had and since that time I've seen a lot of excellent editors leave in response. In the end, I have to ask myself whether what we've gained is worth what we've lost? And to be honest, I carry a huge burden of guilt because I believe I could have prevented these now-almost-three-years of fighting.
Anyway, sorry, this got long, but it's an explanation. I've not used the pingie function but if you want to bring the other's attention to it, that's fine with me. Victoria ( tk) 15:05, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
Please point me to the DYK Recent additions archive for the Hans Baluschek article because I have had difficulty finding it. Atsme☯ Consult 22:25, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
I apologize if I've got this all wrong, but it seems to me that if you use the times shown at the "Recent additions" archive [44] as removal times rather than as start times, then the Hans Baluschek article was featured on the WP main page in excess of 12 hrs., and that can't be correct considering the times are calculated on 6-8-12 hr intervals. The DYK hook would have run from 11:21 on 13 July 2014 thru 03:49 on 14 July 2014 = 16 hrs. Look at the DYK features for 14 July 2014, and you will see 3 different start/end times with the last group being the featured articles that are archived for the main page. How do you access the other main page archives to see the prior DYK hooks that were featured on that same day? Also, the DYK notice states A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2014/July. [45] but there is no listing for the article under the July 13th date. It doesn't appear until July 14th. I also noticed the main page archives are missing from June 13, 2014 - July 13, 2014. [46] which makes it even more confusing.

Beste Gerda,
FYI, see the comment I have put on Talk:Mass No. 2 (Bruckner).
Unfortunately there is no valuable, commercially available recording of this interesting first version. I enjoy Rademann's live performance, a copy of which I have been granted by Hans Roelofs. I find it regrettable that this excellent performance is not commercially available.

hope over experience
Hello Gerda! Thank you for your kind comment about Puankhequa at Philg88's talk page. I was just as surprised about your editing the bracket as I was with a Bot message that followed. I counted the brackets time and time again and I just could not figure it out where the "single" bracket was. Totally mystified! Then I realized that the very first bracket was not written in roman letters but in Chinese "letters", and therefore the Bot did not recognize it as a bracket and ignored it. So it depended on what rendering support your computer had. I could clearly see two brackets (and all the Chinese characters) but when I looked at the page on another computer, obviously similar to yours without Chinese characters, one bracket was gone and replaced with a blank square. So, from that point of view, your edit was perfectly fine. I have now replaced both brackets with brackets from the roman (English) alphabet and all is well again. :) So thank you, you acted in good faith, it was just the "machines" misleading us both. Poor Philg88, he must be encountering this problem all the time. All the best, w.carter -Talk 19:34, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

The infobox wars will continue until a few minds start to open up to the real solution. Tying infoboxes to metadata was a fundamental mistake that too many infobox warriors are unprepared to admit to. The obvious solution is for all infoboxes to be generated automatically from Wikidata, and users to be given the option to see them, not to see them, or even only to see them, perhaps accompanied by a micropedia-style lead. Simple. But it won't happen of course, because some would have to admit that they'd been riding the wrong horse. Eric Corbett 22:10, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Dear Gerda,
Ö1 broadcasted on 22 August the premiere of the "Urfassung" of Symphony No. 1 (Röder's edition, conductor: C. Meister), which was performed on 26 July at the Salzburger Festspiele. Shortly after it was put on YouTube. [53] I discussed with Hans and John whether it actually was a premiere, because I heard no obvious difference with the "1866 Original unrevised Linz version" prepared by William Carragan in 1998, which Gerd Schaller used in Ebrach in July 2011 (See also my comment on YouTube). Röder is responsible for the update of the volume of the MWV dedicated to Symphony No. 1. John replied: "We will have to see what Röder writes in his forward. That new edition will be out soon. Carragan did his edition independently of the MWV. While it is unusual that they did not go to him, it is also not surprising." It would not be the first time that there is some personal rivalry among scholars...
The second part of the broadcast was devoted to Mass No. 2 (conductor: R. Huber). Unfortunately this performance used as commonly the "2. Fassung" of 1882. Shortly after it was also put on YouTube. [54]

Aloha. I would like to apologize in advance for interrupting your important work. This question will only take a moment of your time.

Hi Gerda. I had an email from Boing! Said Zebedee over the weekend, asking me to manually archive a section of his talk page, which you had been adding to regularly, perhaps to stop archiving? I'm concerned that the section in question includes a long quote from the infobox case - I'm certain it's not how he'd want to be immortalised. This Wikipedia equivalent of "thread bumping" is something I've seen before from you and I'm going to ask you to stop doing it on B!sZ's page (and preferably stop doing it all together) - he's trying to move away from the drama of Wikipedia, he's trying to focus on other things, I think he deserves the chance.

Hello, Gerda. I just wanted to point out that the "works cited/sources" section is considered a separate section wikiwide (as opposed to subsection of "citations/references") and (apart from very few exceptions) is marked as a level 2 heading [59]. The only other way is to have a level 2 heading called "Notes and references" and have two level 3 headings called "Notes" and "References", respectively, below it. -- Omnipaedista ( talk) 06:16, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
Dear Gerda,
I have recently have a discussion with Hans Roelofs concerning the various versions and editions of Bruckner's Mass No. 3. The situation is nearly even complex as that of some Bruckner's symphonies... See my comment on the comment page of the Mass.
For Mass No. 2 there are clearly two different versions (1866 and 1882), which have both been issued by Nowak. For Mass No. 1 there one version edited by Nowak, but it is not clear on which manuscript(s) it is based: 1864 or 1882?
I will now review the pages String Quintet (Bruckner) and String Quartet (Bruckner) and try to put again a second infobox on them. It is not always obvious to add something to a page which was originally edited by somebody else. There is only one version/edition of the Quartet and its alternative Rondo, but two versions/editions of the Quintet and its Intermezzo. Therefore I will also add a section "Versions and editions".
Best regards, -- Réginald alias Meneerke bloem ( To reply) 11:37, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

You never answered the question I posted for you, on Pigsonthewing's page [60] where we were having a conversation regarding your many posts on blocked/banned users' pages as well as on those of ArbCom members and other highly active editors, and the way you regularly update those pages in a hidden manner. I was worried that all those people get an orange message banned which could be irritating, though I'm not sure if they do get the orange flash when your post is so hidden and the bot doesn't notice that you haven't signed or dated your update. Also, you never answered my other questions there, such as your reasons for always supporting Pingsonthewing with irrelevant reasons such as the two afcs when you support Pigsonthewing, your reason was per Andy's reason that "consistency. This stub doesn't hurt WP." And another of Pigsonthewing you supported with: Keep BBC is an independent source. It would be undue weight to merge this article to the series article. (Did you know that we keep an article about a fictional opera)? Why not this person who probably was real?)--Gerda Arendt". Also, you seem to never answer any question directly, but just disregard it and post a link to one of your articles or images, often one promoting infoboxes. I'm also curious about Wikipedia:WikiProject Quality Article Improvement. Is this your personal project, since you post 82% of all posts [61] and 98% of the posts at Wikipedia:WikiProject Quality Article Improvement/PumpkinSky Prize. Isn't Pumpkinsky banned/blocked? I would greatly appreciate a direct answer. If there is something you don't understand, rather than giving me a round-about answer with irrelevant links to things you are promoting, could you just ask me to clarify? Thanks!

Yes, I was going to say he has been busy. (See here.). He asked someone to block him for two weeks, but that block is over. I suppose school is starting and his parents want him to study instead of being on the computer all the time. Sometimes people have a page deleted so no one can read what was on it before.

Dear Gerda,
I have updated the page and put (again) a second infobox for the Rondo. Please have a look on it and let me know whether it is OK for you.
NB: Updating the String Quintet (Bruckner) will be less easy because of its revisions and different editions.

Best regards, -- Réginald alias Meneerke bloem ( To reply) 19:27, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
Dear Gerda,
Our colleague Nikkimaria has again counteracted my changes.
In the String Quartet, she has made a split, i.e., removing the info about the Rondo in C minor and putting some content on it in Rondo in C minor (Bruckner) - a page I had also created in the past as redirect to String Quartet.
In the String Quintet, she is presumably also intended for making a split. She has removed the info about the Intermezzo. I guess she will also put some content on it in Intermezzo (Bruckner) - a page I had created in the past as redirect to String Quintet.
I propose to act properly, i.e., putting again the info she has not transferred from String Quartet to Rondo in C minor (Bruckner). For the Intermezzo, I will wait until she puts something in Intermezzo (Bruckner) and then put again the info she has not transferred from String Quintet.
OK so? -- Réginald alias Meneerke bloem ( To reply) 08:54, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
Our best colleague Nikkimaria has again counteracted my changes.
In Rondo in C minor (Bruckner) she has removed the infobox, the Template:Anton Bruckner and some other relevant info I had added.
She has blanked Intermezzo (Bruckner) and redirected it to a short, new page Intermezzo in D minor (Bruckner) with a content based on only two references she had found on internet (AllMusic and the leaflet of one of the CDs) - as she also did for Rondo in C minor (Bruckner) - ignoring the content I had put on Intermezzo (Bruckner) and the relevant info I had retrieved on it in van Zwol's 782 pages anthology.

NB: If you have any problem with Hans' text, I can of course translate it for you. -- Réginald alias Meneerke bloem ( To reply) 13:20, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
Yes. My position: Intermezzo should have an infobox, as all other Bruckner compositions. The topic should define the style, as a service to our readers, not the particular dislike of one editor (which is also called ownership). - Now I am restricted not to restore deleted infoboxes, and even if not, I have an agreement with Nikkimaria which is based on ownership but is better than edit war. YOU have no such restrictions and agreements, you could restore the infobox and find support for doing so. You could also ask for support first on the article talk. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 11:22, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

Dear Gerda.
Nikkimaria has again removed substantiated data that I had put in the Intermezzo because Hans Roelofs's discography would be "out of date". See Talk:Intermezzo in D minor (Bruckner)#Discography. Please give advice, -- Réginald alias Meneerke bloem ( To reply) 17:26, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
A merge proposal could win consensus if the main article had more discussion of the other movements, so it stayed balanced. I like infoboxes. This article is part of a series, and readers should get a consistent experience. See Help:Infobox – "The use of infoboxes is neither required nor prohibited for any article. Whether to include an infobox, which infobox to include, and which parts of the infobox to use, is determined through discussion and consensus among the editors at each individual article." The "main editor" does not have any special say. I am not qualified to judge the sources. I am generally suspicious of websites, but they may be good. I would not remove citations of sources that seem reliable. Aymatth2 ( talk) 19:22, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi Gerda,
As you know Nikki remains stiff-necked and does not accept my argumentation about the selection of a discography. A real dialogue of the deaf...
See my last reply concerning the selected discography on Talk:Intermezzo in D minor (Bruckner), subsection "How does a work / performance get notability?" and the comments I have put about the Discography on Talk:Vexilla regis (Bruckner), Talk:Virga Jesse (Bruckner), Talk:Locus iste (Bruckner) and Talk:Ecce sacerdos magnus (Bruckner).
Till a consensus is achieved I will not amend the discography, but put my comments on the talk pages, so that other users can react.

No, Madamina, il catalogo è questo, not Madamina, il catalogo è questo, see examples in WP:NCM#Definitions - italics (...again...). -- Francis Schonken ( talk) 13:07, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
Magnificat isn't an easy one. Anyhow, I like it better the way it is done at Magnificat (Schütz) than the way it is done at Magnificat (Pärt).
The general point I'd try to make however is that neither you nor I are native English speakers. We don't have a natural feeling on how it is done from education etc. So we'd need to see a lot, read a lot, compare a lot. Then take into account that even English speakers may differ, even more than is apparent from WP:ENGVAR. And what I do (as I've been active on some naming conventions guidelines) is to try derive some coherent guidance from that.
After I had rewritten the WP:NCM guideline I discovered the War Requiem vs. Missa Brevis difference on the Boosey & Hawkes website. Well, happy that I apparently got it right.
I'm not completely sure about Magnificat/Magnificat. For the last half hour I've been googeling (also google books), and really seems like people who write about these compositions in English don't have a consistent view on this. Of course I'd do Deutsches Magnificat (non-generic) but Magnificat as a separate composition appears both italiced and not italicized. But then I found Missa brevis too. I'd keep to "Magnificat" as a generic composition title (like "Missa brevis") for now, not italicized. -- Francis Schonken ( talk) 07:58, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
(e.c.) An article title that has similar issues is Stabat Mater: here the main article is not italicized (unlike Magnificat). For the compositions, I like it better the way it is done at Stabat Mater (Dvořák) than the way it is done at Stabat Mater (Pergolesi), but with the same caveat: I have no native speaker feeling on this.
Yes, I'd like it to be more uniform across Wikipedia, but don't know whether I can help it much.
Incipit reasoning:
For comparison, encyclicals like Rerum Novarum are named after their incipit too, and italicized.
Nonetheless, I'd have it something like "Composition titles that are incipits and have been put to music by several composers are usually regarded as generic titles, and so not italicized" + some relevant examples in the WP:NCM guideline. What do you think? -- Francis Schonken ( talk) 08:50, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
I adjusted the incipt rule:
Composition titles that are incipits and have been put to music by several composers are usually regarded as generic names, and so not italicized, e.g. Stabat Mater (Dvořák), unless the composition belongs to an otherwise defined composition type like cantata, e.g. Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern, BWV 1.
...but here's an angle I hadn't expected:

Dear Gerda,
The Mediation Committee has proposed to reject the Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Rondo in C minor (Bruckner) and Intermezzo in D minor (Bruckner), because "Primary opponent has declined mediation" and they recommend "Probably ought to go to lower-level dispute resolution first, after additional discussion on the article talk pages".
As you have seen, it is what I am doing, with long-lasting, strenuous, time-consuming discussions and eventually a not very positive outcome, because of Nikki's stiff-necked attitude.
Nikki has in the meantime drafted a few pages on Bruckner's motets, with, as you have seen, again the same kind of discussions and again a not very positive outcome.
Please let me know what you would propose to come out of this situation unto a kind of gentlemen's agreement. -- Réginald alias Meneerke bloem ( To reply) 10:29, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

Deae Gerda,
I have put a section "selected discography" in Ave Maria (Bruckner).
Since the page Locus iste (Bruckner) was no more protected and there was no opposition to my proposal for a "selected discography", I have done the same for it too. Would I perhaps add the first recording to the discography of the Ave Maria (Bruckner) too?
I will now review the pages on the other motets, update their content and improve their selected discography accordingly.

Dear Gerda,
Matthew Best with the Corydon Singers and Orchestra is one of the better performers of Bruckner's religious music. His CDs with performances of Bruckner's Requiem, Mass No. 2 (1882 version), and Psalms 114 and 112 are as yet possibly the nec plus ultra. His performances of Masses Nos. 1 and 3, Aequali, Libera me (II), Te Deum and Psalm 150 are also among the better ones, as well his CD devoted to Bruckner's motets.

PPS. Since you like Bach's choral works, I VERY strongly recommend the recording of the CHRISTMAS ORATORIO, conducted by Karl Richter, with soloists Fritz Wunderlich, Gundula Janowitz, Christa Ludwig, and Franz Crass.

Hi Gerda—I was looking at this article, which displays the pic in question. The description of the file says, inter alia: "The organ loft is on the left." There's currently an organ there (newish), but the organ loft proper I'd always understood as being above the stand-point of the pic (see Wolff's book). Is the description misleading?

Die Darstellung des Kardinals im Bild entspricht der Beschreibung in einem Vertrag des Malers Pierre Spicre mit dem Stift der Kirche Notre-Dame in Beaune aus dem Jahr 1474, in dem dieser mit Entwürfen für Wandteppiche in der Kirche beauftragt wird: "es soll auch gemacht werden mein Herr der Kardinal betend, mit geschlossenen Händen, sein Kardinalshut neben ihm und sein Hündchen vor ihm, wie es ist auf dem Bild in der Kapelle St. Ligier in Beaune, das der genannte Meister gemacht hat." Offenbar diente Pierre Spicres Bild in der St. Ligier-Kapelle dem Meister von Moulins als Vorbild. [1]
The painting called presentation of the Cardinal is depicting in The image theme corresponds to the description in a contract of the painter that Pierre Spicre wrote i found the church Notre-Dame in Beaune in 1474, in which the painter is entrusted with the designs for tapestries in the Church: "it should be made my Lord the Cardinal praying with closed hands, his cardinal's hat beside him and his dog in front of him, as it is in the picture in the chapel of St. Ligier in Beaune, which has made the said Master.

Bruckner's Ave Maria WAB 5 & WAB 7 are much less popular than his "famous" Ave Maria WAB 6.
Nearly every week there are, as for Locus iste, one or more new recordings of Ave Maria WAB 6 on YouTube. On the contrary there are only a total of 3 or 4 recordings of each of the two other settings on YouTube. If you want to listen to them

I'm curious why this revert was done to the Tropical Storm Kiko (2007) article. It is generally accepted that the year is included in a date, the first time a date appears in a section. That is done to assist our readers. If a reader excerpts a section of the article and no year appears in the date, it is difficult (impossible?) to determine when the event occurred. Some may argue that the year is in the article title, or in the intro/lead; however, not all readers look at the intro/lead, and often read just a portion of the article. Would you please reconsider the revert. Cheers. Truthanado ( talk) 00:02, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Is there any reason at all why you think this removal is not justified? I'm not going to keep attempting to remove it, but I do intend to file a complaint if you can't give me any reason why such a comment, which as anyone can see, is only being placed to mock Mr Wales and elicit some kind of reaction, which is the very definition of trolling, should be left intact. As you may or may not know, according to Giano himself, Mr Wales considers him to be a troll, so I don't think there is any reason to think Mr Wales would object to this removal in any way.

The Grail motif of Parsifal is ending with a Dresdner Amen. I had already cited the two occurrences of the Dresdner Amen in the motet, but not that it was a consequence of the attendance to Wagner's Parsifal.

Well, I said it was good to be back, and I appreciated the kind words from you and other editors. But now the same editor who drove me away before with his repeated "fuck offs" and the admin who says it's OK to tell other editors to fuck off are it again. I was minding my own business, not even thinking about that foulmouthed person, and just trying to put it behind me. But within days of my return he's on my talk page, poking me a stick. And the admin is saying, literally, that if I don't like being told "fuck off" that all my past good work means nothing and that I should leave Wikipedia.
I don't know what my future is here. I've started an ANI here, and hopefully something will come of that.

Thereafter, I will create new pages, beginning with Os justi, the another "famous" motet, for which more than 100 recording are available, but only two with the complete setting...
NB: I have seen what is been done for the three settings of the Ave Maria. To be consistent, I will rename settings 2 and 3 of Christus factus est accordingly.

I appreciate you explaining your reversions and linking the recent discussion of Schubert articles.

Dear Gerda,
Bruckner'swo Aequali for 3 trombones are popular works. There are about 50 recordings of them.
In the MWV they are put in Band 21 Kleine Kirchenmusikwerke. Therefore I have put them in Motets (Bruckner) as related works.
Question: When I will create a page on them, in which section of {{ Anton Bruckner}} would they then be classified? -- Réginald alias Meneerke bloem ( To reply) 16:18, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
Dear Gerda
I never have done it on Commons.
On the en-Wikipedia and the fr-wikipedia I am using {{IMSLP2|id=Mit Fried und Freud, BuxWV 76 (Buxtehude, Dietrich)|cname=Mit Fried und Freud, BuxWV 76}}. Unfortunately this template does not work on Commons.
On the contrary, [[Scores:Mit Fried und Freud, BuxWV 76 (Buxtehude, Dietrich)|♫]], used in List of compositions by Anton Bruckner, is well working on Commons. I have tried [[Scores:Mit Fried und Freud, BuxWV 76 (Buxtehude, Dietrich)|Mit Fried und Freud, BuxWV 76]] ... and it also works on Commons. Perhaps you could use something like this.

Hello, and thank you very much for your comment on my talk page. I am just an ordinary editor, though, who has hardly any time to do much now, because I am in China with little access to sources that I could use well (most of them are still in my house in the UK, because I can't spend the time, expense, or customs red-tape to bring them here).

When you ask for a translation of 17th-century German, I try to turn it into 17th-century English, within reason. One has to avoid going all the way, so I did not say "royall Citie", but for what it's worth Olave is the traditional English spelling of Olaf/Olai and is usually pronounced "Olive". Cf.

Hello, there. I'm in a bit of a spot with an FAC. It's for the video game character Lightning. The nomination has been up since October 6 and has not had any editing activity since the 31st of the same month: it has three supports and a passed image review, but it still lacks a source review. According to one of the editors who have commented on the WikiProject talk page on the subject, it is "already in great shape, so the final reviewer won't have much work to do". The people at the video games WikiProject advised that it find someone not as deeply linked with video game-related articles as the other users who commented were. I remember you left me a very nice "Precious" message on my talk page, and I didn't remember you being part of any of the projects I had been involved in. So, could you please help the FAC get the last bit of help it needs by doing the source review?

I found this edit: [86] — Question: for what reason did you change
* Aria ''Quia fecit mihi magna'' (''[[Magnificat (Bach)|Magnificat]] BWV 243'')
to
* Aria ''Quia fecit mihi magna'' ([[Magnificat in E-flat major, BWV 243a]])
?
(note that nl:Peter Kooij has
* Aria ''Quia fecit mihi magna'' (''[[Magnificat (Bach)|Magnificat]] BWV 243'')
)
I found similar other cases, where the BWV 243a article was linked by you, for no apparent reason, while the article said/should say something about Bach's composition, not about a particular version of it.
Unless that can be cleaned up (I mean all instances of that), BWV 243a should redirect to the general article about the composition, not to your flavour of it. -- Francis Schonken ( talk) 16:34, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

Your WP:BATTLEGROUND behaviour (e.g. commenting on editors instead of on edits with incorrect allegations; raising issues and then not including them in the "to be discussed" list you proposed,...) hasn't gone unnoticed at Talk:Magnificat (Bach). Please note that the discussion is de facto also about the infobox that would go lost when Magnificat in E-flat major, BWV 243a would become a redirect (which you oppose), so that the discussion could be seen as falling under the remedies of the infoboxes arbcom case, which made battleground behaviour subject to sanctions.

As I wrote above, I believe that the beautiful, ignored Trauungschor, WAB 49, is a "true" religious song. The single performance of the song (by the Liedertafel Frohsinn) occurred in the Linzer Stadtpfarrkirche during the celebration of the wedding of Bruckner's friend Karl Kerschbaum with Maria Schimatschek on 5 February 1865 - the reason why Grasberger put it in the religious songs. On the contrary the Gesamtausgabe put it in the Weltliche Chöre. I will later create a page on it too.
The other wedding song Zur Vermählungsfeier, WAB 54 (composed in 1878 and scored for mens choir a cappella), which Grasberger also put it in the religious songs, was not performed in a church, because the groom was protestant. -- Réginald alias Meneerke bloem ( To reply) 09:19, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
Bruckner cantatas are all in German. For Helgoland and Germanenzug the German text has been translated by user Orthographicus. For the Festive cantata I have done it.
For the Arneth Cantate, WAB 61 and Mayer Cantate, WAB 60 I have found the original text and an English translation in Kinder's book The wind and wind-chorus music of Anton Bruckner. For Entsagen, WAB 14 and het Festgesang, WAB 15, I have only the German text. For the first cantata, WAB 93 I have no text at all.
Jürgen Jürgens was intended to recorded the five early cantatas with the
Monteverdi Choir, but unfortunately it did not occur.
For the last two of the early cantatas (WAB 60 and WAB 15) there is a single recording by Thomas Kerbl. For the first three cantatas WAB 93, 14 and 61 there is no recording at all currently available. --

As Roelofs writes on p. 57, "the text contains the prayer of the principal person to protect her fiancé Walther, who is departing to Welschland".
Please check again whether the following (2nd strophe) is correctly translated:
Nimm meine Lieb' mir ab
Und der so treu sie gib,
Die schon den Ring ihm gab!
Take my love off me
And give it to her, so faithful,
who already gave him the ring!
Should it not be better translated as something like this :
Take my love off me,
which already gave him the ring,
And give it to him, so faithful!

Hi Gerda, regarding the student edits at W. B. Yeats, my concerns go much beyond whether or not an infobox is there or not. Given that the students are working on a specific time schedule and that they're getting a grade for their work, I think we should put aside the issue of infoboxes until they're finished with the school term, because it perpetuates an issue that has nothing at all to do with their work but instead is an internal WP conflict. Thanking them is, of course, nice, but also reinforces that what they are doing is correct (and by extension that I'm being bitey). All literature students must follow certain formatting rules and guidelines when writing off-line, done according to a specific style-guide, and my feeling is that equally if they are to edit an FA here they should be aware of our MoS in regards to sectioning, TOC, etc. etc. Thanks, Victoria ( tk) 18:15, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

My soul magnifies the Lord, And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior. For He has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden, For behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name. And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with His arm: He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted those of low degree. He has filled the hungry with good things; and the rich He has sent empty away. He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy; As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to His posterity forever.

Abendklänge (called in French "Harmonies du soir". I translated it as "Evening sounds") is a very short piece (duration lees than 1.5 min), with only two recordings, one by Kerbl and another on YouTube. In addition, the contribution of the violin is minimal - two reasons why I put it with the piano works.
Is it OK so for you, or would you prefer to see it on a separate page? Please advise. -- Réginald alias Meneerke bloem ( To reply) 16:09, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Dear Gerda,
I have the pleasure to let you know the page
Military march (Bruckner) is created. This was the last page to be created. All Bruckner's compositions have now a page or an overview page.
I will now review all the pages one by one and correct, implement and update them if appropriate. Hopefully I will get Uwe Harten's Bruckner Handbuch as a present of my children at the end of this year.
Best regards, -- Réginald alias Meneerke bloem ( To reply) 11:51, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
FYI: You can hear Bruckner's Marsch, WAB 116 here
[88] and Kéler's Apollo-Marsch (Mazzucchelli-Marsch) there
[89].
You hear immediately that there were not composed by the same person. --

But, cherries also can appear in Christian folktales. Thus, in an old English Christmas carol, we are told how Joseph and Virgin Mary were walking through a cherry orchard and Mary (the mother of Jesus) asked for Joseph to pick her some delicious cherries. But Joseph refused, saying that she should ask the one who "brought thee with child" to pick the cherries for her instead of him. On that moment, the yet unborn Christ communicated with the cherry trees and asked them to lower their branches in order for Mary to pick cherries, and that happened, and Joseph repented for his attitude.

Gerda the Paradise cherry might come from some of the Spanish books. The article is loosely based on the Spanish article, and it is probably in some of the books they used. I guess they should be added if I haven't domne it yet, (check) as AGF source. But we better not make it a hook. Hafspajen ( talk) 17:37, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Dear Bruckner,
Is Bruckner's last page actually created? There is a somewhat mysterious work, the authenticity of which is still controversial: the Symphonisches Präludium of c. 1876. It has not been put in the Gesamtausgabe because Nowak also doubted about its authenticity. The work has been attributed to Mahler, Krzyzanowski, Hans Rott and other Bruckner's pupils.
On the German Wikipedia there is a detailed page on it, probably because Hiltl and Cohrs are convinced that it is a work by Bruckner...
I had already put a quite detailed paragraph on this work on the page Anton Bruckner.
I have the performance by Neeme Järvi of the "Mahlerised" orchestration by Gürsching of the piano transcription, which indeed looks Mahler's, as well as two performances of 2010 by Baldur Bronnimann and Markus Stenz according to the original orchestral setting (Krzyzanowski's copy), which indeed likes much more Bruckner's. Recently a performance of the original orchestral setting by Michelle Perrin Blair has been commercially issued.
Should I also create a page on it on the English Wikipedia? Please advise, -- Réginald alias Meneerke bloem ( To reply) 11:19, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
I never got around to thanking you for this, but I do appreciate the words of encouragement. It meant a lot during the election. -- Calidum 05:35, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Gerda, please, how you read Adele Aus der Ohe ? Wouldn't it be Adele aus der Ohe ? The page had already been redirected from Adele aus der ohe by a Bot.

When you raise an issue at a noticeboard ( [91]), it is usually best to link to where the discussion of the same topic is currently ongoing ( Talk:Magnificat in E-flat major, BWV 243a#Formally a cantata in this case), in order to avoid duplicate discussions, and/or something that might look somewhat like WP:FORUMSHOPping, and/or fragmentation of discussion, etc. -- Francis Schonken ( talk) 13:33, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
Hi Gerda, I'm afraid the discussion is getting too derailed at Frietjes talk page, and I prefer not to clutter up other peoples talkpages too much, but I did want to respond to you about the compromise part, because I have strong feelings about it. What I view as one of the most important parts of Wikipedia, and wikis in general, is the ability to collaboratively build something. The importance in seeking compromise is in my opinion not watering down a position, but if one side proposes x, and another proposes y, to find an alternative z that may be completely different, that satisfies what both sides really want. That can be really hard, and it's really easy for me to say, since I'm ashamed to admit I hardly do any content work. If we succeed in doing it though, we're truly collaborating in that we as a community manage to do better than the sum of the parts. When we fail at that, we have to make do with meeting in the middle, which is the poorer solution. Sometimes even that isn't an option, and we have to make a choice between two binary options. I believe that if people would try more often to get to the first option of finding a different way that satisfies all parties, we would have less conflict in general. To me, it's always worth it to try to find a compromise where neither side has to give up what they really want, even if it turns out that no such compromise can be found. Best, Martijn Hoekstra ( talk) 15:46, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

(I usually reply on my own talk page, but I'm replying here since the former is a bit cluttered.)
Thank you for the note, Gerda. I wasn't around during this Raul debacle, so it's good to hear some different opinions to clue me in. It seems to me that some people just leave or become inactive because they are busy with 'real-life' pursuits. Your note also proved my assumption that we're all pretty neurotic around here! In any event, it seems quite clear to me that Raul's absence has nothing whatever to do with the current mini-controversy over the TFA. Raul's decisions were always consensus-driven, if I remember correctly, so I believe that the article would have been featured today anyway. Not to mention that those who scream "pruriency!" are usually unconcerned with how things actually work.

First, my compliments for the season, and my apologies for raising Cain so close to Christmas. You gave me a lot to mull over a week or so ago (though real life has stopped me replying sooner) when you reverted an edit I made on The Rite of Spring (on which I have
opened a discussion, btw); not just that, but your user page, containing your hit list (I've made some responses to the ones that interest me; you'll find them all on my contributions page, though you've already noticed them, I think).

Hello,
Thank you very much for the recognition for my article work. It has spurred me on to make sure that I am more productive in 2015 (providing I can find the time to log on!) It really means a lot when someone gives credit for contributions - no matter how small their edits. I hope we are able to work in collaboration elsewhere (though I have no doubt we shall disagree further as we fight to improve the encyclopaedia in our own way). Please keep up your fantastic work in encouraging editors.
Thank you ツ Stacey ( talk) 21:31, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
I thought I'd reply to your comments at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment here, since it's a bit off-topic. Yes, reducing the number of templates can be beneficial but that's not always the case. For example, Andy has now nominated {{ Infobox Rome episode}} for deletion (again). In the process, and regardless of the outcome of the TfD, he has removed code from the template that now opens the way for somebody to justifiably create two additional templates. Andy has a narrow focus and doesn't always look at the big picture. As for your statement about always using {{ Infobox person}}, that's great in theory but there are 213 templates in Category:People infobox templates and you'll see resistance in some projects to that template. I've seen far too much resistance to using Infobox person in musician articles and other projects insist you use "their" template. Instead of making a minimal template that can be embedded in Infobox person they insist on a full infobox that usually concentrates on project specific fields instead of the normal fields we see in BLPs. -- AussieLegend ( ✉) 15:19, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi, Gerda. Happy Christmas and a joyous New Year to you! I have been recording some unaccompanied ballads this summer and singing much better since I had a wisdom tooth out on the top left. I tried to get the dentist to remove the one on the other side but apparently it is unethical, so my resonance is slightly lop-sided! However the Tibetan chanting through the Great Scale is working wonders for my Zen as well as my vocal production. Are you listening to Bostridge on Winterreise (Radio 4 this week)?

Hi Gerda, the infoboxes clarification request in which you were named as a party has been closed and archived.

WP:PROXYING, which is

Hello Gerda, nice to meet you. Are you really the Notorious Infoboxen WikiCriminal that has been terrorizing the music articles? :-) As you can see from my first posting on AGK's talkpage, up above the duromac thing, I am *also* a notorious wikiCriminal. Or at least, notoriously silly (AGK blocked me -- then later unblocked me -- when they mistook one of my not-all-that-funny jokes over on the Bishzilla talkpage).
But my actual question for you is this -- I did not really understand your reply to me.
Well, okay, I understood the watchlist part, and the thank-you part. You are surely welcome. <bows>
But what button and what secret thing are you referring to? I do login as an IP, of course (you can call me 74 if you like), but User_talk:Clover1991 has registered a pseudonym; they are the one submitting the article, not me. Maybe the link to the 'secret' thing in my message was was confusing -- it is just a pokemon character, one of many not-very-notable-toys which has a long article in mainspace, badly in need of cleanup, and short on reliable sources. The pokeman-article is not related to the Duromac thing, directly, I was just using it as a metaphorical example of how wimpy our deletionist-standards are when something is 'popular' to some degree in the english-speaking-world. 74.192.84.101 ( talk) 14:05, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Dear Gerda, I have just noticed you have been engaging in The Great Game with WP over the past couple of months! Rather you than me... I am a vulture for quiet anonymity these days if it can be found anywhere. (Instead I am vainly trying to find useful fingerings for the Musical Offering fugues and to make my left-hand trills on fingers 3 & 4 sound like something other than a dying weasel. I also had a wisdom tooth out, which has wonderfully improved my vocal resonance - on one side only.) But, I hope you won't let such matters affect your seemingly infinite productivity or cause you to forget that you have many friends here. On the whole the value of the good far outweighs the annoyance of the bad, and when one considers how far the English Wikipedia has come and the work that it is doing there are bound to be frustrations along the way. May I take this opportunity of wishing you a very happy New Year. yours, Eebahgum ( talk) 05:32, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
Fortunately I was never tempted to aim for adminship. Even in my schooldays I was recognized as unfit to be a school prefect, for which I have since become very grateful. It taught me that my own personality, with all faults, was unsuitable even for basic training in officialdom. It was perhaps incongruous that a Quaker school should have had prefects. If prefects, why not Bishops? Liktors? It took us long enough to get rid of Ministers! One must listen within. Sorrow? Leiden (as in Werther) gets near but it doesn't mean the same thing, and Sorg is not the same either. Sorgen-schwerheit? To find an unbastardized sentiment one must consult an antique dictionary. Is there a German word for 'Sorry'? Eebahgum ( talk) 13:12, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi Gerda,
The way I understand Wikipedia's guidelines is that I do not have to discuss edits beforehand, you know, being bold. But since you did revert my edits, I am obliged to explain, so here goes.
There are four bits there, which to me, could either be reworked to prose and using the quotations as a source, or just leave them out. For argument's sake, I'll copy-pasty them here to show what I mean.
I hope this explain my edit. Feel free to come with counterarguments. -- Soetermans. T / C 12:23, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
Hallo Gerda. As you can imagine, since the last ArbCom election I've been following the infobox arbitration case more closely. You might be interested in how I would have voted (had I been elected) at the 2 motions that have been proposed by WTT. Motion Number 1, I would have supported: Folantin's duck test is quite convincing. It seems that Andy, or somebody close to him under his instructions, adds infoboxes as an IP to his article. I would amend the original ArbCom remedy to allow Andy to add infoboxes to articles created by him for 3 reasons. #1 It's silly to enact an unenforceable remedy. #2 Under the original decision, you, Gerda, can add infoboxes to articles you create, so Andy should be allowed too, under the equal rights clause. #3 The continuance of the remedy as it stands is punitive rather than to avoid disruption, which is against stated policy. Motion Number 2, I would have opposed, on the grounds that ArbCom should maintain an open door for any legitimate request. To ask for an amendment/revision after a shuffle in ArbCom's membership, is legitimate and can not be held against anybody. Cheers. Kraxler ( talk) 14:11, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Given your interest in music, Gerda, I thought you might like to assist in improving our coverage of female dancers which I am trying to promote in connection with International Women's Day/Month. You seem to be well placed to sift through the German-language biographies which have not yet appeared in English. I have started a List of female dancers but there are certainly lots of other important figures to be added to the sections on Germany and Austria. If you don't have the time or inclination to write up the bios, then it would be a help if you could simply add names to the list with a few words explaining each dancer's involvement together with a reference. Alternatively, you could simply add names to Wikipedia:WikiWomen's_History_Month/To-do_list#Dance. Any help you can provide to encourage general participation would also be greatly appreciated. Let me know too if you have any suggestions for improvements.-- Ipigott ( talk) 11:59, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi Gerda. I'm almost ready to support now, but there are three bullets from my review needing attention: Two of them are changes I made and asked for your approval -- could you look at them please? The other is the "however" question in the translation; I think Moonraker may have overlooked your reply about the Capell Musici. -- Stfg ( talk) 15:37, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Gerda! (I miss your prescence on the WikiProjects - is the ban forever or just a year?). Yesterday I created a new article on little-known silent film composer Irénée Berge. Now I'm thinking of a good DYK hook. What do you think of this: Did you know that Irénée Berge wrote silent film music?

Gerda, it is always inappropriate to add an icon to someone else's review. If you want to make your own review and add an icon, that's fine. If you want to query someone as to whether they meant to add an icon and ask them to add it, that's also fine.
ColonelHenry had expressed doubts in other areas earlier. It may be that he thinks that ALT7 is fine even though those issues remain, or that he's satisfied that the issues have been settled or don't really matter. We don't know, and unless and until he places an icon himself, we can't be sure. In the meantime, please refrain from putting DYK icons for anyone other than yourself. Thank you.

You all will need brooms. In the broadest possible sense, broomfighting is the art and science of armed combat against April frogs, leaving indecent messages, and is involving cleaning, dusting or antiseptic weapons directly manipulated by hand, shot or thrown (in other words, brooms, dusters, sponges, mops, dual brooms, and so on). Very similar to its sister sport fencing, it involves the use of non-lethal cleaning objects to strike opponnents and consequently claim victory. In contemporary common usage, broomfighting tends to refer specifically to the American School of Broomsmanship. Hafspajen ( talk) 14:09, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi Gerda, and I hope I'm finding you well today. Could you check the last five edits on FK. A user seems to be trying to bloat the further reading list, which I don't see as a good idea. Also, there has been an addition to the bibliography but I can't see where this source provides a cite. I didn't revert as I wasn't sure so thought I'd check first.

Gerda, I'm not sure what waiting for a little while will do at this nomination: the nominator has basically said that there won't be any Wikipedia contributions due to pressing schoolwork for at least a couple of months, and expressed the hope that someone else might take on the issues you've identified, since that's the only way they'll get done. That's simply too long to wait.
Were you planning to try to find someone to deal with the article's issues, or do it yourself? If not, the nomination should probably be closed, since the nominator has said there won't be any more work from that quarter. BlueMoonset ( talk) 22:19, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi Gerda!! Greetings again. I was thinking about DYK the other day and realized I had another article in the works at the time of the Josiah Gregg dustup. I pulled out the files and spent some time upgrading Nancy Kelsey's page. Do you think that is enough added material for DYK? I ran the DYK check on it and I think I confused it somehow (or myself). It is not telling me if it is long enough or not. I was really careful about paraphrasing but again I'm up against the same problem for an editor working in old history - few sources and most of them are written pretty much the shortest possible way to tell the story. So I was careful not to paraphrase the source I was using - but I have no way to know if some other source changed it all around the same way I did! Your comments and suggestions would be most gratefully received along with your opinion if this is good enough for DYK. Thank you so much! Ellin Beltz ( talk) 20:05, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

(outdent) "I also consider it a gesture of respect to allow people to define their own national identity and heal historic wounds." No one denied that; no one denied that a French person born in French Algeria is a French national if they define themselves as such. We do not even talk about ethnicities/nationalities here. All I am saying is that there exist certain facts: for example the Czech Republic did not exist before 1969, R Macedonia did not exist before 1943, Ukraine (as a state) did not exist before 1917, Austria was the Federal State of Austria in 1934–1938, etc. A kind of anachronistic and revisionist thinking about history could lead to immense confusion. It would be absurd to list Alfred Jaëll's place of birth as "Trieste, Italy" and his nationality as "Austrian". It is a matter of principle to acknowledge the historical facts. Lastly, I note that the whole discussion about the appropriateness of using the "BRD/DDR" terminology has to take into consideration common English usage and the academic consensus (as per WP:CCPOL). -- Omnipaedista ( talk) 06:36, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Georgejdorner ( talk) 16:32, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi Gerda. I'd like you to withdraw this. While the hook can be referenced, there are a lot of sources in the article which have no page numbers, and many of them (most in fact) are referenced to original letters and documents in the UK National Archives and not as precisely referenced as they should be. Technically each letter quoted should be referenced separately rather than lumped together. e.g. "Letters to and from Trevor Corry to the Secretary of State for the Northern Department, Thomas Thynne, 3rd Viscount Weymouth. Secretaries of State: State Papers Foreign, Poland. The National Archives, Kew, Richmond, Surrey". There's no way this can be fixed in the timescale of DYK. Some might even start screaming "original research". Two other refs (one of which is used multiple times) are too imprecise to verify and are marked as such. Given the current atmosphere at DYK, the article is liable to be pulled to shreds. It's the first contribution by a brand new editor, who's still finding his way around Wikipedia. He potentially has a lot to offer, and I'm hoping I can encourage him to become a regular contributor here. See [29]. Frankly, I think this has the potential to be a very confusing and demoralising experience for him. It's up to you, but I hope you'll understand my reasoning. If you do go ahead with it (and I hope you won't), my name should not be credited. I merely did mechanical work on it and a few minor additions. Best, Voceditenore ( talk) 08:12, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

I see you noticed my edit to Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel. I was listening to a recording by Hoffmann, and realized I didn't know anything about him. Come to find out, neither does Wikipedia (ok, Wikipedia knows a *little* about him). He wrote a Magnificat that was misattributed to J.S. Bach for most of the 19th-century (as BWV Anh. 21) if the liner notes of the CD (Pro-Arte CDD 185) are to be believed. Wikipedia doesn't mention this mis-attribution anywhere, either. Does researching this further appeal to you at all? If so, I'd love to collaborate with you on it (the composer and/or the work).

They may participate in wider policy discussions regarding infoboxes with no restriction, and include infoboxes in new articles which they create." Note that a) "create" means something different than "major contributor", and b) "making more than two comments in discussing the inclusion or exclusion of an infobox on a given article" is broader than simply "making more than two comments in a particular discussion". The first restriction you have clearly violated several times, most recently today; the last you have likely violated on multiple occasions.

Hi Gerda, cangratulations on the above DYK - well deserved!
And thank you very much for your moral support in my church building article - much appreciated. However, frankly, I think there are times when article-creators have to quickly withdraw a nom to protect the article from major interference. While Bencherlite was right to draw attention to shortcomings in the article, and there would have been time to do a big re-edit as you say, the article was at risk of huge summary deletions and section-blankings from well-intentioned editors in the short term, so long as the nom was in progress.
This is an important article as (in my opinion) the church building is currently at risk of structural neglect and damage from certain people and agendas. So the building is up for listing for its own protection, and the public information needs to be available. To keep it in line with WP, yes it does need urgent re-editing and more research, but I am currently stretched between that job and helping to clear the DYK review backlog, which is equally important - because there are plenty of other articles out there which deserve exposure on the front page for all sorts of valid reasons.
If you would really like to support my work on this article, I'd love it if you could please watch it and help protect it from well-meaning content-deletions. It's already suffered the removal of all mention of one of the curate's wives. Anglican priests and their wives have always been equally important in parish teamwork, the wife almost always doing full-time and valid but unpaid and uncredited parish work. In 19th century news articles about local church matters, it's significant that parishioners always give equal gifts, praise and thanks to both the priest and his wife when they retire or move on to the next church. So to remove the curate's wife from the article is a non-neutral, sexist, outdated and (if you like) anti-feminist action - though I accept that the deleter may be from another culture and may not be aware of the curate's wife's importance.
My apologies for such a long message. Meanwhile, please let me know if there's anything I can do in return, e.g. if you spot a languishing DYK nom which needs extra support. Cheers. -- Storye book ( talk) 08:37, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
Hi, hope you are well. Do you remember a few weeks ago when you suggested I start an article and then I stole Hafspajen's idea and the French article on Georges Clairin? It is still languishing on my subpage because (among other reasons) the French version had text in "citation bloc" templates. Do you know or any of your friends know what I should use as the equivalent here (I will obviously translate the text within it). Belle ( talk) 11:26, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
It doesn't seem like the documentation at {{ Infobox NRHP}} gives any clue as to how to use it. That template was itself mostly copied from {{ infobox protected area}}, which suggests "a city with a major airport or a large gateway town where supplies and lodging are available." But, obviously, that language makes more sense when we're talking about protected areas, not heritage register listings.
For NRHP I have used it to refer to the nearest municipality anywhere that is incorporated as a city, which is usually some place that people outside that region of the country will have heard of. So I chose Stamford, which is a city. However, distance-wise I'm not sure, now that you make me think about it, if White Plains (also a city) isn't just as close.
That said, I think using out-of-state cities in some cases makes sense (see Lace House (Canaan, New York), very near the MA state line and much closer to Pittsfield, Massachusetts, than any city in that part of New York.
Of course, what this whole discussion increasingly makes me think of is whether the NRHP infobox actually needs that parameter or not anymore, especially with the map functionality available. Daniel Case ( talk) 21:45, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Aloha. I am sorry to bother you, but I have a few simple questions about an article in Der Spiegel. Google translate works fine to get the overall meaning, but when it comes to using the material in an article, that's another matter. For example, there's this sentence:
Molly Crabapple hat eine neue Rolle erfunden: die politische Journalistenkünstlerin. Sie zeichnet, schreibt journalistische Texte, und was ihr tagsüber durch den Kopf geht, twittert sie an ihre 41 000 Follower.
Google translate gives the following result:
Molly Crabapple has invented a new role: the political journalists artist. It is characterized writes journalistic texts, and what her daytime goes through her head, she tweets to her 41,000 followers.
I would like to use a more accurate English translation of die politische Journalistenkünstlerin. "The political journalists artist" doesn't sound right. Any ideas? Viriditas ( talk) 09:34, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Gerda, please see this discussion for some background. The creator of the article has now "disappeared". Can you help expand the article? Do you know someone who could? Article content isn't my forte, and working on an article about a Pole when I don't even know the language is that much harder. I know it's not choral-related, but it is classical music. In glancing at the Polish wiki, it doesn't look like there are many sources for the material. I'm not keen on adding material that is unsourced, even though I've created a mostly unsourced framework. Plus, I don't know how notable the fellow is outside Poland where there might be English sources. I admit I haven't done much research into it, though.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 13:24, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi Gerda -- this article is so interesting. Most people would think to make the article centered around the Strauss song. Instead, you made the poem the center.

A little warning -a music school is NOT the regular music gymnasium, but something with a much lower profile. (and filnm school) A kind of Hochschule, but NOT university and not music High school. No regular education, I may say, but bits and parts here and there.
Mansoor Hosseini, born 1967, is a Swedish composer.
Mansoor Hosseini has studied composition under Phillipe Capdenat and Yoshihisa Taïra in Paris. He studied music theory and computer music with Peter Swinnen at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels and composition for Carl-Axel Hall in the Gothenburgs Music school. He later studied film scoring at the University of Gothenburg and scriptwriting at Gothenburg's film school, now the Akademin Valand. After studying with George Aperghis he started to compose music in Mauricio Kagel's style.
In 2003, Hosseini founded Gothenburg Music & Dance Company (GMDC), which in 2007 transformed into the Ensemble Themus in Gothenburg with a goal to popularize the concept of theatrical music -or theatre music? bit unclear concept His work in theatrical music is inspired by modern dance, theater and martial arts.
As a percussionist Hosseini is fascinated by improvisation. He employs a lot of improvisation and sometimes uses a system of improvisation in his compositions that gives freedom to the musicians to improvised in a controlled and measured way. He lectures in musical notation, composition, communication between musicians and composers and musicians and musical notation. (whatewever that is)

Beste Gerda!
As you can see I have created a new template for Bruckner's cantatas. Currently there are wiki-pages for only three of Bruckner's cantatas ( Festive Cantata, Germanenzug and Helgoland).
During the Kronstorf and Sankt Florian periods Bruckner composed five Name-day cantatas. Two of these earlier cantatas were re-issued later for other Name-days or other festivities (see WAB 61b, 61c, and WAB 93b, 93c on List of compositions by Anton Bruckner). Unfortunately the are very few literature available on these earlier cantatas and only two (the Festgesang WAB 60 and the Mayer Cantate WAB 15) have been recorded as yet. I am, however, intended to draft wiki-pages on these earlier cantatas (which could be expanded, when new literature data or new recordings would be available).
Do you agree?

Beste Gerda, Writing pages on Bruckner's works is not an easy job, because there are often several versions and editions of his works, and a lot works, e.g. the String Quartet and Psalm 146, were not issued, even never performed during his life. The older books over Bruckner are mostly not giving very accurate info on this matter. I had so to update, even correct in depth several wiki-pages on Bruckner's works. For this purpose C. van Zwol's recent book is an excellent reference - unfortunately only available in Dutch. I would have preferred to have two boxes than one. If others think that one box is the best choice, I will not quarrel. I will review the concerned articles ( String Quartet, String Quintet and Four Orchestral Pieces) and check whether the removed info is present in the body of the article. Beste Grüße aus Belgien, -- Réginald alias Meneerke bloem ( To reply) 09:20, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
Dear Gerda, thank you so much for your appreciation and thanks for my short introduction to Anne Sofie von Otter. I'm admiring your outstanding efforts for Wiki very much. One thought: You are writing outstanding articles about the Bach cantatas. Obviously you know nearly all interpretations, especially those by Rilling. In this coherence and your personal involvement to Francfort: You surely know Hans Joachim Erhard, an outstanding organist and especially (!) continuo player in the recording cycles of the cantatas with Rilling until his death in 1990. I personally think, he should be included in Wiki, because he really is/has been notable. How do you think about? Best wishes and thanks, -- BachChopinFavorite ( talk) 13:23, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

[42], looks cute here, [43], in German Hafspajen ( talk) 05:15, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
Hi Gerda, I didn't have time yesterday to explain my reasoning to you regarding my AN post but will now. First, I wasn't aware of what was happening until I saw this comment to Belle's page, which I thought wasn't neutrally worded. When I noticed the AN thread, it seemed to me that it was going very fast, and that people were chiming in, who perhaps lack the context of the full story that began on a page I was working in November 2011, so I thought it might be a good idea to try to slow it down - although I really dislike posting in those kinds of discussions.
Before posting I took a look at Boing's page, saw your note and I took a look at the link to Anna Kravtchenko and the talk page, which to me seemed as though you were bringing attention to yet another issue - without coming right out and saying why. My feeling is that once a person is thanked, either on their page or with the notification system (of course because that's hidden there's no way of knowing whether you use it), it tends to add a sense of urgency and factionalism to a situation that instead needs de-escalation, which in turn could, to a degree, make the person somewhat involved.
As I mentioned earlier, I've been more than involved because this long series of events began with a dispute I had and since that time I've seen a lot of excellent editors leave in response. In the end, I have to ask myself whether what we've gained is worth what we've lost? And to be honest, I carry a huge burden of guilt because I believe I could have prevented these now-almost-three-years of fighting.
Anyway, sorry, this got long, but it's an explanation. I've not used the pingie function but if you want to bring the other's attention to it, that's fine with me. Victoria ( tk) 15:05, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
Please point me to the DYK Recent additions archive for the Hans Baluschek article because I have had difficulty finding it. Atsme☯ Consult 22:25, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
I apologize if I've got this all wrong, but it seems to me that if you use the times shown at the "Recent additions" archive [44] as removal times rather than as start times, then the Hans Baluschek article was featured on the WP main page in excess of 12 hrs., and that can't be correct considering the times are calculated on 6-8-12 hr intervals. The DYK hook would have run from 11:21 on 13 July 2014 thru 03:49 on 14 July 2014 = 16 hrs. Look at the DYK features for 14 July 2014, and you will see 3 different start/end times with the last group being the featured articles that are archived for the main page. How do you access the other main page archives to see the prior DYK hooks that were featured on that same day? Also, the DYK notice states A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2014/July. [45] but there is no listing for the article under the July 13th date. It doesn't appear until July 14th. I also noticed the main page archives are missing from June 13, 2014 - July 13, 2014. [46] which makes it even more confusing. Did you know ... at times we are dealing with 3 different groups of DYK main page features on the same day, and not all are archived with the main page? Atsme☯ Consult 20:02, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
Thank you both for helping me to better understand the mechanics behind DYK. Your kindness and patience is much appreciated. Atsme☯ Consult 13:44, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
Hi Gerda. I was wondering why such an obviously virtuoso pianist has so little coverage these days, despite being relatively young as pianists go. Perhaps you were too? I found his official YouTube channel. It has no videos on it (although others have uploaded some old ones to their channels). Anyhow, he did have a comments section where someone in France, who had heard him play years ago and greatly admired him, asked when he would be performing again there. Cocarelli replied [49]:

You have one of these on this page and probably have many more throughout your archives. That is because you deserve them. You have gone out of your way to make Wikipedia a kinder, more enjoyable place and to recognize other editors' work. You should have a truckload of these. Also, your content and DYK contributions are extraordinary. You deserve much recognition for those as well. Thank you. Donner60 ( talk) 21:28, 26 July 2014 (UTC) |
Thank you! - I have two of these on the page, one is collapsed under "Blushing". Barnstars for kindness are most precious for me, on the background of my well-known battleground mentality ;) - I am awfully proud of today's DYK ... that pianist Anna Kravtchenko from Ukraine, winner of the Busoni competition, played Chopin "in a way that thoroughly warmed the heart and thrilled the senses"? - It's not the hook chosen for the Main page, but the one that warmed my heart. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:40, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

I moved the reference in the article because I was reviewing it for DYK. I have now approved the nomination at DYK but will have to reverse that if the references stay as they now are. I also tweaked the hook, - you had better make sure you approve the change I made.

Hi Gerda, please don't edit this right now, I'm using Visual Editor, which doesn't have true section editing ... so I'll have to revert your edit and go to some trouble to reinstate mine.

Hello Gerda! Thank you for your kind comment about Puankhequa at Philg88's talk page. I was just as surprised about your editing the bracket as I was with a Bot message that followed. I counted the brackets time and time again and I just could not figure it out where the "single" bracket was. Totally mystified! Then I realized that the very first bracket was not written in roman letters but in Chinese "letters", and therefore the Bot did not recognize it as a bracket and ignored it. So it depended on what rendering support your computer had. I could clearly see two brackets (and all the Chinese characters) but when I looked at the page on another computer, obviously similar to yours without Chinese characters, one bracket was gone and replaced with a blank square. So, from that point of view, your edit was perfectly fine. I have now replaced both brackets with brackets from the roman (English) alphabet and all is well again. :) So thank you, you acted in good faith, it was just the "machines" misleading us both. Poor Philg88, he must be encountering this problem all the time. All the best, w.carter -Talk 19:34, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

The infobox wars will continue until a few minds start to open up to the real solution. Tying infoboxes to metadata was a fundamental mistake that too many infobox warriors are unprepared to admit to. The obvious solution is for all infoboxes to be generated automatically from Wikidata, and users to be given the option to see them, not to see them, or even only to see them, perhaps accompanied by a micropedia-style lead. Simple. But it won't happen of course, because some would have to admit that they'd been riding the wrong horse. Eric Corbett 22:10, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Hello! Your submission of Gabriela Eibenová at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Sturmvogel 66 ( talk) 23:21, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
Thank you, Gerda, for your kind message.
This week I had a lot of other things to do. I will for sure update the pages of Bruckner's Quartet and Quintet next week, e.g.,adding a section "Versions and editions" and seeing for a split for the Alternative Rondo and the Intermezzo.

Dear Gerda,
Ö1 broadcasted on 22 August the premiere of the "Urfassung" of Symphony No. 1 (Röder's edition, conductor: C. Meister), which was performed on 26 July at the Salzburger Festspiele. Shortly after it was put on YouTube. [53] I discussed with Hans and John whether it actually was a premiere, because I heard no obvious difference with the "1866 Original unrevised Linz version" prepared by William Carragan in 1998, which Gerd Schaller used in Ebrach in July 2011 (See also my comment on YouTube). Röder is responsible for the update of the volume of the MWV dedicated to Symphony No. 1. John replied: "We will have to see what Röder writes in his forward. That new edition will be out soon. Carragan did his edition independently of the MWV. While it is unusual that they did not go to him, it is also not surprising." It would not be the first time that there is some personal rivalry among scholars...
The second part of the broadcast was devoted to Mass No. 2 (conductor: R. Huber). Unfortunately this performance used as commonly the "2. Fassung" of 1882. Shortly after it was also put on YouTube. [54]

Aloha. I would like to apologize in advance for interrupting your important work. This question will only take a moment of your time. The German archaeologist Roland Hampe published a small, 44 page book titled Die Stele aus Pharsalos im Louvre (1951). [55] However, according to OCLC, there is an online (e-book) version available. [56] Do you have any idea where I might be able to get a copy? The OCLC notes that the digital version was published by HathiTrust, but I am having trouble finding the book on their website. [57] I will keep looking if you don't have an answer. Thank you. Viriditas ( talk) 22:03, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
Hi Gerda. I had an email from Boing! Said Zebedee over the weekend, asking me to manually archive a section of his talk page, which you had been adding to regularly, perhaps to stop archiving? I'm concerned that the section in question includes a long quote from the infobox case - I'm certain it's not how he'd want to be immortalised. This Wikipedia equivalent of "thread bumping" is something I've seen before from you and I'm going to ask you to stop doing it on B!sZ's page (and preferably stop doing it all together) - he's trying to move away from the drama of Wikipedia, he's trying to focus on other things, I think he deserves the chance.

Hello, Gerda. I just wanted to point out that the "works cited/sources" section is considered a separate section wikiwide (as opposed to subsection of "citations/references") and (apart from very few exceptions) is marked as a level 2 heading [59]. The only other way is to have a level 2 heading called "Notes and references" and have two level 3 headings called "Notes" and "References", respectively, below it. -- Omnipaedista ( talk) 06:16, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
Dear Gerda,
I have recently have a discussion with Hans Roelofs concerning the various versions and editions of Bruckner's Mass No. 3. The situation is nearly even complex as that of some Bruckner's symphonies... See my comment on the comment page of the Mass.
For Mass No. 2 there are clearly two different versions (1866 and 1882), which have both been issued by Nowak. For Mass No. 1 there one version edited by Nowak, but it is not clear on which manuscript(s) it is based: 1864 or 1882?
I will now review the pages String Quintet (Bruckner) and String Quartet (Bruckner) and try to put again a second infobox on them. It is not always obvious to add something to a page which was originally edited by somebody else. There is only one version/edition of the Quartet and its alternative Rondo, but two versions/editions of the Quintet and its Intermezzo. Therefore I will also add a section "Versions and editions".

Please, I'm very curious and I hope you will oblige by answering the questions I ask you in Pigsonthewing's page.
I said there that you ask too much.

You never answered the question I posted for you, on Pigsonthewing's page [60] where we were having a conversation regarding your many posts on blocked/banned users' pages as well as on those of ArbCom members and other highly active editors, and the way you regularly update those pages in a hidden manner. I was worried that all those people get an orange message banned which could be irritating, though I'm not sure if they do get the orange flash when your post is so hidden and the bot doesn't notice that you haven't signed or dated your update. Also, you never answered my other questions there, such as your reasons for always supporting Pingsonthewing with irrelevant reasons such as the two afcs when you support Pigsonthewing, your reason was per Andy's reason that "consistency. This stub doesn't hurt WP." And another of Pigsonthewing you supported with: Keep BBC is an independent source. It would be undue weight to merge this article to the series article. (Did you know that we keep an article about a fictional opera)? Why not this person who probably was real?)--Gerda Arendt". Also, you seem to never answer any question directly, but just disregard it and post a link to one of your articles or images, often one promoting infoboxes. I'm also curious about Wikipedia:WikiProject Quality Article Improvement. Is this your personal project, since you post 82% of all posts [61] and 98% of the posts at Wikipedia:WikiProject Quality Article Improvement/PumpkinSky Prize. Isn't Pumpkinsky banned/blocked? I would greatly appreciate a direct answer. If there is something you don't understand, rather than giving me a round-about answer with irrelevant links to things you are promoting, could you just ask me to clarify? Thanks!

Yes, I was going to say he has been busy. (See here.). He asked someone to block him for two weeks, but that block is over.

Dear Gerda,
Our colleague Nikkimaria has again counteracted my changes.
In the String Quartet, she has made a split, i.e., removing the info about the Rondo in C minor and putting some content on it in Rondo in C minor (Bruckner) - a page I had also created in the past as redirect to String Quartet.
In the String Quintet, she is presumably also intended for making a split. She has removed the info about the Intermezzo. I guess she will also put some content on it in Intermezzo (Bruckner) - a page I had created in the past as redirect to String Quintet.
I propose to act properly, i.e., putting again the info she has not transferred from String Quartet to Rondo in C minor (Bruckner). For the Intermezzo, I will wait until she puts something in Intermezzo (Bruckner) and then put again the info she has not transferred from String Quintet.
OK so? -- Réginald alias Meneerke bloem ( To reply) 08:54, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
Our best colleague Nikkimaria has again counteracted my changes.
In Rondo in C minor (Bruckner) she has removed the infobox, the Template:Anton Bruckner and some other relevant info I had added.
She has blanked Intermezzo (Bruckner) and redirected it to a short, new page Intermezzo in D minor (Bruckner) with a content based on only two references she had found on internet (AllMusic and the leaflet of one of the CDs) - as she also did for Rondo in C minor (Bruckner) - ignoring the content I had put on Intermezzo (Bruckner) and the relevant info I had retrieved on it in van Zwol's 782 pages anthology.

Yes. My position: Intermezzo should have an infobox, as all other Bruckner compositions. The topic should define the style, as a service to our readers, not the particular dislike of one editor (which is also called ownership). - Now I am restricted not to restore deleted infoboxes, and even if not, I have an agreement with Nikkimaria which is based on ownership but is better than edit war. YOU have no such restrictions and agreements, you could restore the infobox and find support for doing so. You could also ask for support first on the article talk. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 11:22, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

Dear Gerda.
Nikkimaria has again removed substantiated data that I had put in the Intermezzo because Hans Roelofs's discography would be "out of date". See Talk:Intermezzo in D minor (Bruckner)#Discography. Please give advice, -- Réginald alias Meneerke bloem ( To reply) 17:26, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
A merge proposal could win consensus if the main article had more discussion of the other movements, so it stayed balanced. I like infoboxes. This article is part of a series, and readers should get a consistent experience. See Help:Infobox – "The use of infoboxes is neither required nor prohibited for any article. Whether to include an infobox, which infobox to include, and which parts of the infobox to use, is determined through discussion and consensus among the editors at each individual article." The "main editor" does not have any special say. I am not qualified to judge the sources. I am generally suspicious of websites, but they may be good. I would not remove citations of sources that seem reliable. Aymatth2 ( talk) 19:22, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

No, Madamina, il catalogo è questo, not Madamina, il catalogo è questo, see examples in WP:NCM#Definitions - italics (...again...). -- Francis Schonken ( talk) 13:07, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
Magnificat isn't an easy one. Anyhow, I like it better the way it is done at Magnificat (Schütz) than the way it is done at Magnificat (Pärt).
The general point I'd try to make however is that neither you nor I are native English speakers. We don't have a natural feeling on how it is done from education etc. So we'd need to see a lot, read a lot, compare a lot. Then take into account that even English speakers may differ, even more than is apparent from WP:ENGVAR. And what I do (as I've been active on some naming conventions guidelines) is to try derive some coherent guidance from that.
After I had rewritten the WP:NCM guideline I discovered the War Requiem vs. Missa Brevis difference on the Boosey & Hawkes website. Well, happy that I apparently got it right.
I'm not completely sure about Magnificat/Magnificat. For the last half hour I've been googeling (also google books), and really seems like people who write about these compositions in English don't have a consistent view on this. Of course I'd do Deutsches Magnificat (non-generic) but Magnificat as a separate composition appears both italiced and not italicized. But then I found Missa brevis too. I'd keep to "Magnificat" as a generic composition title (like "Missa brevis") for now, not italicized. -- Francis Schonken ( talk) 07:58, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
(e.c.) An article title that has similar issues is Stabat Mater: here the main article is not italicized (unlike Magnificat). For the compositions, I like it better the way it is done at Stabat Mater (Dvořák) than the way it is done at Stabat Mater (Pergolesi), but with the same caveat: I have no native speaker feeling on this.
Yes, I'd like it to be more uniform across Wikipedia, but don't know whether I can help it much.
Incipit reasoning:
For comparison, encyclicals like Rerum Novarum are named after their incipit too, and italicized.
Nonetheless, I'd have it something like "Composition titles that are incipits and have been put to music by several composers are usually regarded as generic titles, and so not italicized" + some relevant examples in the WP:NCM guideline. What do you think? -- Francis Schonken ( talk) 08:50, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
I adjusted the incipt rule:
Composition titles that are incipits and have been put to music by several composers are usually regarded as generic names, and so not italicized, e.g. Stabat Mater (Dvořák), unless the composition belongs to an otherwise defined composition type like cantata, e.g. Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern, BWV 1.
...but here's an angle I hadn't expected:

Dear Gerda,
The Mediation Committee has proposed to reject the Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Rondo in C minor (Bruckner) and Intermezzo in D minor (Bruckner), because "Primary opponent has declined mediation" and they recommend "Probably ought to go to lower-level dispute resolution first, after additional discussion on the article talk pages".
As you have seen, it is what I am doing, with long-lasting, strenuous, time-consuming discussions and eventually a not very positive outcome, because of Nikki's stiff-necked attitude.
Nikki has in the meantime drafted a few pages on Bruckner's motets, with, as you have seen, again the same kind of discussions and again a not very positive outcome.
Please let me know what you would propose to come out of this situation unto a kind of gentlemen's agreement. -- Réginald alias Meneerke bloem ( To reply) 10:29, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

Bruckner's Locus iste is indeed becoming a "good" article. Unfortunately Nikki, who was somewhat calmed down, is again disputing about the Infobox, as a stubborn procedural barrister. Are there any means to let her stop it?
I am for sure willing to expand the discography, etc., but I am no more intended to again lose time with beating with her around the bush.

I think it would be better to rename the page Ave Maria (Bruckner) to Ave Maria, WAB 6 (Bruckner), instead of the current redirection from Ave Maria, WAB 6 (Bruckner) to Ave Maria (Bruckner). Reason: I have re-categorised Ave Maria, WAB 5 (Bruckner) and Ave Maria, WAB 7 (Bruckner) to Category:Motets by Anton Bruckner.

Deae Gerda,
I have put a section "selected discography" in Ave Maria (Bruckner).
Since the page Locus iste (Bruckner) was no more protected and there was no opposition to my proposal for a "selected discography", I have done the same for it too. Would I perhaps add the first recording to the discography of the Ave Maria (Bruckner) too?
I will now review the pages on the other motets, update their content and improve their selected discography accordingly.

Dear Gerda,
Matthew Best with the Corydon Singers and Orchestra is one of the better performers of Bruckner's religious music. His CDs with performances of Bruckner's Requiem, Mass No. 2 (1882 version), and Psalms 114 and 112 are as yet possibly the nec plus ultra. His performances of Masses Nos. 1 and 3, Aequali, Libera me (II), Te Deum and Psalm 150 are also among the better ones, as well his CD devoted to Bruckner's motets.

Die Darstellung des Kardinals im Bild entspricht der Beschreibung in einem Vertrag des Malers Pierre Spicre mit dem Stift der Kirche Notre-Dame in Beaune aus dem Jahr 1474, in dem dieser mit Entwürfen für Wandteppiche in der Kirche beauftragt wird: "es soll auch gemacht werden mein Herr der Kardinal betend, mit geschlossenen Händen, sein Kardinalshut neben ihm und sein Hündchen vor ihm, wie es ist auf dem Bild in der Kapelle St. Ligier in Beaune, das der genannte Meister gemacht hat." Offenbar diente Pierre Spicres Bild in der St. Ligier-Kapelle dem Meister von Moulins als Vorbild. [1]
The painting called presentation of the Cardinal is depicting in The image theme corresponds to the description in a contract of the painter that Pierre Spicre wrote i found the church Notre-Dame in Beaune in 1474, in which the painter is entrusted with the designs for tapestries in the Church: "it should be made my Lord the Cardinal praying with closed hands, his cardinal's hat beside him and his dog in front of him, as it is in the picture in the chapel of St. Ligier in Beaune, which has made the said Master.

Bruckner's Ave Maria WAB 5 & WAB 7 are much less popular than his "famous" Ave Maria WAB 6.

I'm curious why this revert was done to the Tropical Storm Kiko (2007) article. It is generally accepted that the year is included in a date, the first time a date appears in a section. That is done to assist our readers. If a reader excerpts a section of the article and no year appears in the date, it is difficult (impossible?) to determine when the event occurred. Some may argue that the year is in the article title, or in the intro/lead; however, not all readers look at the intro/lead, and often read just a portion of the article. Would you please reconsider the revert. Cheers. Truthanado ( talk) 00:02, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Is there any reason at all why you think this removal is not justified? I'm not going to keep attempting to remove it, but I do intend to file a complaint if you can't give me any reason why such a comment, which as anyone can see, is only being placed to mock Mr Wales and elicit some kind of reaction, which is the very definition of trolling, should be left intact. As you may or may not know, according to Giano himself, Mr Wales considers him to be a troll, so I don't think there is any reason to think Mr Wales would object to this removal in any way.

Dear Gerda,
The Grail motif of Parsifal is ending with a Dresdner Amen. I had already cited the two occurrences of the Dresdner Amen in the motet, but not that it was a consequence of the attendance to Wagner's Parsifal. Bruckner used the Dresdner Amen also in two subsequent motets ( Virga Jesse and Vexilla regis) and the adagio of the ninth symphony.
Thank you again for your appreciated help! -- Réginald alias Meneerke bloem ( To reply) 17:58, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

Just a friendly reminder about Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Infoboxes#Gerda Arendt admonished: "Gerda Arendt is admonished for treating Wikipedia as if it were a battleground..." in connection with what happens at Talk:Mass for the Dresden court (Bach)#Name, where I identified why the discussion is so futile, and imho doesn't pass the WP:DUCK test on battleground behaviour. Please desist if you haven't really anything to say regarding the current article title, but only want to continue discussing other possible article titles that have no decisive advantages. If you can't agree on the matter with those currently commenting there, set up a WP:RM as I already recommended. -- Francis Schonken ( talk) 10:47, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Well, I said it was good to be back, and I appreciated the kind words from you and other editors. But now the same editor who drove me away before with his repeated "fuck offs" and the admin who says it's OK to tell other editors to fuck off are it again. I was minding my own business, not even thinking about that foulmouthed person, and just trying to put it behind me. But within days of my return he's on my talk page, poking me a stick. And the admin is saying, literally, that if I don't like being told "fuck off" that all my past good work means nothing and that I should leave Wikipedia.
I don't know what my future is here. I've started an ANI here, and hopefully something will come of that. I just wanted to let some of the good and responsible editors here know, and that if they're interested in following what's going on, that's the link. I am disheartened as hell. -- Tenebrae ( talk) 10:04, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
Dear Gerda,
I have already updated three pages, which were drafted by Nikki: Afferentur regi, Tota pulchra es (Bruckner) and Virga Jesse (Bruckner). I have also partially updated the two other pages Ecce sacerdos magnus (Bruckner) and Vexilla regis (Bruckner). Thereafter, I will create new pages, beginning with Os justi, the another "famous" motet, for which more than 100 recording are available, but only two with the complete setting...
NB: I have seen what is been done for the three settings of the Ave Maria. To be consistent, I will rename settings 2 and 3 of Christus factus est accordingly.

Hi Gerda,
Thank you for contacting me on this issue, and for informing me of the impact of article moves on DYK stats; I hadn't been aware of this before. I appreciate you explaining your reversions and linking the recent discussion of Schubert articles. I am not convinced that the Schubert example is sufficiently analogous to the Bruckner articles to justify including the redundant disambiguators in the titles of the latter, but I am very busy outside of Wikipedia right now and I don't have time to pursue this issue further at the moment. Perhaps we can renew the discussion another time. It is good to see that you continue to produce high-quality music-related articles on Wikipedia.

Bruckner'swo Aequali for 3 trombones are popular works. There are about 50 recordings of them.

Dear Gerda
I never have done it on Commons.
On the en-Wikipedia and the fr-wikipedia I am using {{IMSLP2|id=Mit Fried und Freud, BuxWV 76 (Buxtehude, Dietrich)|cname=Mit Fried und Freud, BuxWV 76}}. Unfortunately this template does not work on Commons.
On the contrary, [[Scores:Mit Fried und Freud, BuxWV 76 (Buxtehude, Dietrich)|♫]], used in List of compositions by Anton Bruckner, is well working on Commons. I have tried [[Scores:Mit Fried und Freud, BuxWV 76 (Buxtehude, Dietrich)|Mit Fried und Freud, BuxWV 76]] ... and it also works on Commons. Perhaps you could use something like this.

Hello, there. I'm in a bit of a spot with an FAC. It's for the video game character Lightning. The nomination has been up since October 6 and has not had any editing activity since the 31st of the same month: it has three supports and a passed image review, but it still lacks a source review. According to one of the editors who have commented on the WikiProject talk page on the subject, it is "already in great shape, so the final reviewer won't have much work to do". The people at the video games WikiProject advised that it find someone not as deeply linked with video game-related articles as the other users who commented were. I remember you left me a very nice "Precious" message on my talk page, and I didn't remember you being part of any of the projects I had been involved in.

?
(note that nl:Peter Kooij has
* Aria ''Quia fecit mihi magna'' (''[[Magnificat (Bach)|Magnificat]] BWV 243'')

I found similar other cases, where the BWV 243a article was linked by you, for no apparent reason, while the article said/should say something about Bach's composition, not about a particular version of it.
Unless that can be cleaned up (I mean all instances of that), BWV 243a should redirect to the general article about the composition, not to your flavour of it. -- Francis Schonken ( talk) 16:34, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

As I wrote above, I believe that the beautiful, ignored Trauungschor, WAB 49, is a "true" religious song. The single performance of the song (by the Liedertafel Frohsinn) occurred in the Linzer Stadtpfarrkirche during the celebration of the wedding of Bruckner's friend Karl Kerschbaum with Maria Schimatschek on 5 February 1865 - the reason why Grasberger put it in the religious songs. On the contrary the Gesamtausgabe put it in the Weltliche Chöre. I will later create a page on it too.
The other wedding song Zur Vermählungsfeier, WAB 54 (composed in 1878 and scored for mens choir a cappella), which Grasberger also put it in the religious songs, was not performed in a church, because the groom was protestant. -- Réginald alias Meneerke bloem ( To reply) 09:19, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Und der so treu sie gib,
Die schon den Ring ihm gab!
Take my love off me
And give it to her, so faithful,

Hi Gerda, regarding the student edits at W. B. Yeats, my concerns go much beyond whether or not an infobox is there or not. Given that the students are working on a specific time schedule and that they're getting a grade for their work, I think we should put aside the issue of infoboxes until they're finished with the school term, because it perpetuates an issue that has nothing at all to do with their work but instead is an internal WP conflict. Thanking them is, of course, nice, but also reinforces that what they are doing is correct (and by extension that I'm being bitey). All literature students must follow certain formatting rules and guidelines when writing off-line, done according to a specific style-guide, and my feeling is that equally if they are to edit an FA here they should be aware of our MoS in regards to sectioning, TOC, etc. etc. Thanks, Victoria ( tk) 18:15, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

My soul magnifies the Lord, And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior. For He has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden, For behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name. And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with His arm: He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted those of low degree. He has filled the hungry with good things; and the rich He has sent empty away. He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy; As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to His posterity forever.

Dear Gerda,
Abendklänge (called in French "Harmonies du soir". I translated it as "Evening sounds") is a very short piece (duration lees than 1.5 min), with only two recordings, one by Kerbl and another on YouTube. In addition, the contribution of the violin is minimal - two reasons why I put it with the piano works.
Is it OK so for you, or would you prefer to see it on a separate page? Please advise. -- Réginald alias Meneerke bloem ( To reply) 16:09, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

But, cherries also can appear in Christian folktales. Thus, in an old English Christmas carol, we are told how Joseph and Virgin Mary were walking through a cherry orchard and Mary (the mother of Jesus) asked for Joseph to pick her some delicious cherries. But Joseph refused, saying that she should ask the one who "brought thee with child" to pick the cherries for her instead of him. On that moment, the yet unborn Christ communicated with the cherry trees and asked them to lower their branches in order for Mary to pick cherries, and that happened, and Joseph repented for his attitude.

Gerda the Paradise cherry might come from some of the Spanish books. The article is loosely based on the Spanish article, and it is probably in some of the books they used.

Dear Bruckner,
Is Bruckner's last page actually created? There is a somewhat mysterious work, the authenticity of which is still controversial: the Symphonisches Präludium of c. 1876. It has not been put in the Gesamtausgabe because Nowak also doubted about its authenticity. The work has been attributed to Mahler, Krzyzanowski, Hans Rott and other Bruckner's pupils.
On the German Wikipedia there is a detailed page on it, probably because Hiltl and Cohrs are convinced that it is a work by Bruckner...
I had already put a quite detailed paragraph on this work on the page Anton Bruckner.
I have the performance by Neeme Järvi of the "Mahlerised" orchestration by Gürsching of the piano transcription, which indeed looks Mahler's, as well as two performances of 2010 by Baldur Bronnimann and Markus Stenz according to the original orchestral setting (Krzyzanowski's copy), which indeed likes much more Bruckner's. Recently a performance of the original orchestral setting by Michelle Perrin Blair has been commercially issued.
Should I also create a page on it on the English Wikipedia? Please advise, -- Réginald alias Meneerke bloem ( To reply) 11:19, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

When you raise an issue at a noticeboard ( [91]), it is usually best to link to where the discussion of the same topic is currently ongoing ( Talk:Magnificat in E-flat major, BWV 243a#Formally a cantata in this case), in order to avoid duplicate discussions, and/or something that might look somewhat like WP:FORUMSHOPping, and/or fragmentation of discussion, etc. -- Francis Schonken ( talk) 13:33, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
Hi Gerda, I'm afraid the discussion is getting too derailed at Frietjes talk page, and I prefer not to clutter up other peoples talkpages too much, but I did want to respond to you about the compromise part, because I have strong feelings about it. What I view as one of the most important parts of Wikipedia, and wikis in general, is the ability to collaboratively build something. The importance in seeking compromise is in my opinion not watering down a position, but if one side proposes x, and another proposes y, to find an alternative z that may be completely different, that satisfies what both sides really want. That can be really hard, and it's really easy for me to say, since I'm ashamed to admit I hardly do any content work. If we succeed in doing it though, we're truly collaborating in that we as a community manage to do better than the sum of the parts. When we fail at that, we have to make do with meeting in the middle, which is the poorer solution. Sometimes even that isn't an option, and we have to make a choice between two binary options. I believe that if people would try more often to get to the first option of finding a different way that satisfies all parties, we would have less conflict in general. To me, it's always worth it to try to find a compromise where neither side has to give up what they really want, even if it turns out that no such compromise can be found. Best, Martijn Hoekstra ( talk) 15:46, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for the note, Gerda. I wasn't around during this Raul debacle, so it's good to hear some different opinions to clue me in. It seems to me that some people just leave or become inactive because they are busy with 'real-life' pursuits. Your note also proved my assumption that we're all pretty neurotic around here! In any event, it seems quite clear to me that Raul's absence has nothing whatever to do with the current mini-controversy over the TFA. Raul's decisions were always consensus-driven, if I remember correctly, so I believe that the article would have been featured today anyway.

I'll be happy to move the elegy to a later prep. I was just trying to avoid having bullets fired at the White House in the Christmas prep. I've been searching all over for a church hook; perhaps you could approve Template:Did you know nominations/San Luis Obispo de Tolosa Parish Church and we could run with that.

Dear Gerda,
I have just acquired Uwe Harten's Bruckners Handbuch (544 pages) - ISBN 3-7017-1030-9, a major reference book, which I was missing. It will be, in addition to van Zwol's book (782 pages), a second important tool for completing the pages devoted to Bruckner's compositions. -- Réginald alias Meneerke bloem ( To reply) 18:04, 25 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello,
Thank you very much for the recognition for my article work. It has spurred me on to make sure that I am more productive in 2015 (providing I can find the time to log on!) It really means a lot when someone gives credit for contributions - no matter how small their edits. I hope we are able to work in collaboration elsewhere (though I have no doubt we shall disagree further as we fight to improve the encyclopaedia in our own way). Please keep up your fantastic work in encouraging editors.
Thank you ツ Stacey ( talk) 21:31, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
I thought I'd reply to your comments at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment here, since it's a bit off-topic. Yes, reducing the number of templates can be beneficial but that's not always the case. For example, Andy has now nominated {{ Infobox Rome episode}} for deletion (again). In the process, and regardless of the outcome of the TfD, he has removed code from the template that now opens the way for somebody to justifiably create two additional templates. Andy has a narrow focus and doesn't always look at the big picture. As for your statement about always using {{ Infobox person}}, that's great in theory but there are 213 templates in Category:People infobox templates and you'll see resistance in some projects to that template. I've seen far too much resistance to using Infobox person in musician articles and other projects insist you use "their" template. Instead of making a minimal template that can be embedded in Infobox person they insist on a full infobox that usually concentrates on project specific fields instead of the normal fields we see in BLPs. -- AussieLegend ( ✉) 15:19, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi, Gerda. Happy Christmas and a joyous New Year to you! I have been recording some unaccompanied ballads this summer and singing much better since I had a wisdom tooth out on the top left. I tried to get the dentist to remove the one on the other side but apparently it is unethical, so my resonance is slightly lop-sided! However the Tibetan chanting through the Great Scale is working wonders for my Zen as well as my vocal production. Are you listening to Bostridge on Winterreise (Radio 4 this week)? I hope you are on top form and making sweet music Eebahgum ( talk) 04:20, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi Gerda. I see you wrote the article In convertendo Dominus relating to the van Nuffel setting. I am intending to write about the Rameau setting. Do you agree to move your article to, say, In convertendo Dominus (van Nuffel), and making the present title a disambig page, therefore allowing In convertendo Dominus (Rameau)?
