Revision as of 02:57, 15 February 2024
This is Netherzone's talk page, where you can send them messages and comments.
The 2023 picture is from the Abel Fest in Köthen, celebrating the tercentenary of Carl Friedrich Abel, a viol virtuoso, composer and concert organiser in London (together with Bach's youngest son), born on 22 December 1723 in Köthen, where the new catalogue of his works was introduced, - my story today. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:56, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for liking what I saw and wanted to tell! - I have endured the attitude that looks like censoring to me - keeping facts about opera away from the Main page, arguing that opera singers only do there job - for years, and see some light, that it may change, thanks to comments like yours. You can comment in the DYK nom for Anna Nekhames (they are always on the talk page, and also on my user page.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:29, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The reviewer found nothing interesting? Speaking as a fellow editor, who knows nothing about opera other than what I've learned from you (and the few performances I've seen) the original hook that began with this: that coloratura soprano Anna Nekhames performed first in the Bolshoi Theatre's children's chorus immediately drew me in. Why? Precisely because I was unfamiliar with the term, coloratura soprano. As a inquisitive person I wanted to learn more. Secondly because I had no idea that the Bolshoi Theatre had a children's chorus. A hook not only draws in those who are familiar, but more importantly (at least to my way of thinking) draws in readers who are NOT familiar with a subject. The value in this IMO is that it shares knowledge, which is a fundamental goal of the encyclopedia. One reviewer's personal opinion of what constitutes "interestingness" should not have such influence over what appears on the main page. I'm so sorry that your valuable and well-crafted contributions have been undergoing such subjective scrutiny. Keep on doing what you are doing, Gerda. You are amazing, and appreciated!

Thank you, feel understood! Same thing for Tamara Milashkina. - Taking tons of pictures, 23 chosen for 23 Jan, 6 uploaded, too tired for more - on my talk you see that it's the birthday of Mozart and our conductor ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 00:04, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tell Charles01 who wrote it, - I just fixed things for the Main page. Did you click on "look"? A few images telling more than thousand words. The few new pics are of the most stunning coastline of La Palma, only I had some camera setting wrong, - I borrowed them from a friend. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:21, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there @Scope creep, no worries at all. I considered your comment very seriously because I think you have excellent judgement. The AfD turned out well, and I learned some things about rap music in Iran. See you around! Netherzone (talk) 16:21, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
