Hello,
I did not want to crowd up errors with more words, but I just wanted to say, thank you for being friendly, despite my inexperience in the TFA space! Thank you very much! Geardona ( talk to me?) 15:22, 6 March 2024 (UTC) |

thank you for the encouragement! - today in memory of the birthday of a friend who showed me art such as this, and of Vami - I nominated his article Ludwigsburg Palace for TFA rerun on 1 June, but later saw that his most recent one, Boundary Fire (2017), matches the same day, - none of them is closely related to the date, - schedule as variety considerations make it look best. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 14:12, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
Thank you today for Philadelphia Athletics 18, Cleveland Indians 17 (1932), about "one of the most peculiar but exciting games in Major League Baseball history. You'd expect a pitcher who gave up 14 runs and 29 hits to lose the game, or at least not be the winning pitcher wouldn't you? But on the afternoon of July 10, 1932, Eddie Rommel did win that game, coming in as a relief pitcher and pitching 17 innings, and thereby lies a tale ..."! - listen to my story today, thinking of Vami_IV - and the composer is pictured on the Main page, and the discussion on the talk leaves much to be desired ... dona nobis pacem. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 10:15, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
I uploaded vacation pics (from back home), at least the first day, - and remember Aribert Reimann. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 20:27, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
Some days later, a calf in the mist and chocolate cake, and a story of collaboration -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:26, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
Thank you today for Royal Maundy, introduced (in 2010): "Royal Maundy is one of those quirky British ceremonies which fascinate everyone else. I believe it has survived as is because of the enthusiasm of the Queen, and something would be lost if her successors do not keep it up. In my opinion, this may well be the best resource on the ceremony out there, as the two books I'm aware of on the ceremony are a bit dated. Thanks to Malleus for looking over, and to Fasach Nua for giving a preliminary check on the images." - those were the times. How fitting today! - I tried to remember Bach's St John Passion on Good Friday, 300 years after the first performance, and was told no it has to be on 7 April, because that was the date of the first performance, - teh rulez. - The Passion on White Sunday, however, doesn't work for me. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:08, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you today for Morgan Bulkeley, about "a Gilded Age politician like many another, except that he's in the Baseball Hall of Fame because in 1876, when yet another baseball league was being organized, he was asked to be president, and this happened to be "the league that lasted", as one book about it puts it, the National League. He also had the guts to oppose Teddy Roosevelt and William Howard Taft over the infamous Brownsville Affair, and he spent almost half a century as president of Aetna Life. What more can you ask?" -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:34, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
I like to see Appalachian Spring on the Main page today (not by me, just interested and reviewed), and I also made it my story. - How do you like the statue (look up places)? - I was undecided so show three versions ;) -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 16:24, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
The statue is of Hildegard of Bingen, and as it happens, her Physica is on the Main page today, and Marian Anderson as my top story (by NBC, 1939), and below (on my talk) three people with raised arms, - and the place is the cherry blossom in Frauenstein. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 18:45, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi Wehwalt. I always hate doing this, but since my FAC for David J. Brewer continues to languish without reviewers, I was wondering if you'd be willing to take a look? There's a cameo from Joseph B. Foraker and a thirty-something William Howard Taft—two Wehwalt FAs in one sentence! Hope you're well. Extraordinary Writ ( talk) 04:34, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello Wehwalt, apologies for this approach, but would you mind reviewing this article ( Aston Martin DB9) at FAC? Source review and image review have passed, so I'm extremely enthusiastic, as we have only five FAs on automobiles. Best, and don't feel obliged, 750h+ | Talk 09:06, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
