Wonderful Name must be wonderful person

Thanks for the help with (probably) my spelling. --Kipd (talk) 20:35, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Welcome. LilHelpa (talk) 21:55, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Lil Helpa

It is rare to encounter a Wikipedia veteran who tidies up an articleLelia Doolan without some grandstanding about something or other-thanks.There is a quote from someone eminent about how God would have destroyed the world ages ago except for 2 Hermits somewhere and 3 toilet cleaners somewhere else or something along those lines--Tumadoireacht (talk) 22:59, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the kind words. I feel myself burning out on WP, needing to move on to another passion. Your message was timely. LilHelpa (talk) 13:41, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

List of county routes in Suffolk County, New York (26–50C)

Try fixing the List of county routes in Suffolk County, New York (26–50C) this time. Maybe the references won't break. If it does, I'm going to have to revert the edit again. ----DanTD (talk) 17:50, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Ugh! Your edit broke it again. I'll revert it, but I'm okay with you fixing the spelling mistakes and similar errors. ----DanTD (talk) 18:36, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Strange. OK, I'll leave out the ref changes. LilHelpa (talk) 18:38, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. I wish the refs could be sorted, but unfortunatley one was broken when I had it in my sandbox. ----DanTD (talk) 18:40, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

I was able to reduce all the citations down to one reference. The problem was that the first reference to the PDF was used for CR26, however that road doesn't have a length specified so the reference wasn't used. I deleted the reference for that road and used the full reference for the CR28 infobox, then used the short ref for all the other infoboxes. Robman94 (talk) 20:34, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Cool. Way to stay with it. Sorry, I've been kind of distracted and didn't feel like analyzing it. --LilHelpa (talk) 02:38, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

More Bach

For a change, I wrote about my primary source himself, Alfred Dürr (in prep), and expanded the Neue Bach-Ausgabe, if you want to explore the base. I really liked BWV 65 with the oriental touch and a picture two days ago, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:21, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:15, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Before you leave for other passions, here is Joanne Lunn (pictured on Bach cantatas). Christiane Kohl (with the looks of intelligence) will sing Mendelssohn on 6 February. BWV 73 not ready yet. Older: Werner Neumann, Bach-Archiv Leipzig. Did you notice that Dürr appeared on the 10 year WP day? Thanks to you, of course, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:10, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for thinking of me re: the eye candy. Lunn is done. Didn't notice Dürr – too much fixing, too little reading! --LilHelpa (talk) 12:25, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

January 2011

Sorry, misattributed an edit to you on Darras Hall which preceded your edit. Apologies. Prestonmag (talk) 23:18, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the typo fixes. Jivesh • Talk2Me 12:14, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks again

Nice to cross paths with you again. KimChee (talk) 07:28, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Unusual report at WP:AN3

Hello LilHelpa. You've made a report at WP:AN3#James Childs. Can you clarify? The report may be removed if nobody can figure out what you are requesting. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 21:12, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Looks like it was already handled today by a block and a note on the second editor's user page. LilHelpa (talk) 23:11, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for cleaning up The Stones I Throw. It's much appreciated.

Blanche Charlet Article

LilHelpa,

Article: Blanche Charlet.

Would like to invite you to the discussion on Blanche Charlet. There has been a discussion started on her talkpage and would like your feedback. Adamdaley (talk) 00:11, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, I guess I got to the party late. Looks like you folks are beyond what I could do. --LilHelpa (talk) 13:43, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

The day of Bach cantatas

Tomorrow - soon - is the day of four Bach cantatas on DYK, did you know? Last will be the one you did already, before that BWV 81 with Anna Reynolds (singer), and right next BWV 210 and BWV 210a with Grychtolik whom a friend and I saved from deletion, have fun (I learned a lot in that discussion, my first such thing), --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:53, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Very clean articles. Yes, the policing apparatus here is a world of wonder. Cheers. --LilHelpa (talk) 22:25, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for speedy cleaning! Different from before, the translations of the German cantata titles to English are now no longer italic, here is why, to make it short: they are no "title" in English, just a translation, one of many, only to give a hint, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:47, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Ah, good to know. Thanks! -LilHelpa (talk) 22:55, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

The day started, looks nice, with a tiger, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 00:05, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Two more, sorry, no singers, BWV 83 and BWV 144, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:22, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

I see nothing. --LilHelpa (talk) 17:00, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Oliver Lewis (violinist)

Just wanted to add my thanks for all the hard wok you put in, corricting eras. Glad someone has a speilchucker and, more importantly, is prepared to use it. I only created the article yesterday. Don't know how you found it so soon, but I'm glad you did. See you around. Best, Daicaregos (talk) 13:39, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

My pleasure. --LilHelpa (talk) 13:40, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for cleaning up after me and fixing typos. What a great service you are providing to the world. Mannrw (talk) 19:30, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Now to Handel

For a change in mood, requested for Handel's birthday: Handel Festival Halle, in the context Howard Arman, another one saved from deletion, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:35, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Very clean as usual. When you have done enough saves to register as a Wikipedia lawyer, let me know ;) -LilHelpa (talk) 01:00, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, you cleaned one to much though, smile, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:10, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Next: Utrecht Te Deum and Jubilate, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:06, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Too clean. -LilHelpa (talk) 00:18, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Your correction of typos and general fixes in the article about one of Napoléon's ablest generals are much appreciated. Best wishes,--Alexandru Demian (talk) 09:12, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Just wanted to drop by and say thank you for all the things you do! This encyclopaedia wouldn't be very legible without copy-editors such as yourself, and I really appreciate your work. Have a good day! *Vendetta* _{(whois talk edits)} 21:00, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

sic + "the the"

I'm working on another list of "the the" articles from a database dump. I'm finding that some of the listed articles actually contain {{sic|the the}}, typically because you have been in and checked it. I've changed my editing to flag these with  the {{sic|the}}  instead; it looks the same, but means the next database scan won't include the article in the list. -- John of Reading (talk) 09:55, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Very interesting. Sounds like a better fix to me. Will do that, too, on any encounter. -LilHelpa (talk) 11:49, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi there, I provided a rationale on the article's talk page, as you requested. 129.33.19.254 (talk) 20:08, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Bradenstoke Priory

Please take care with AWB not to change mis-spelled words in quotations; they are supposed to be rendered verbatim, even if apparently incorrect. Cheers. Rodhullandemu 21:01, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Broken Links

Your edit of PRR locomotive classification 12:30, 9 November 2010 broke the links to Alco, GE, EMD, and Fairbanks-Morse. I reverted back - let me know if there is a problem. Thanks. Grahamboat (talk) 04:26, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

MOS:HEAD calls for links to not normally be used in headings. Accordingly, AWB removes them as a matter of course. Typically the alternative is to use the linked term in the body under the heading and link it there. --LilHelpa (talk) 00:17, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. I corrected with (See also). Grahamboat (talk) 04:38, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.

For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:10, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Music from Munich

Not by me (just nominated, author's first article): Munich Biennale, by me: Hans Stadlmair and Wilhelm Killmayer (teacher of two composers I know, mentioned, smile), --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:28, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Music for Munich

In a rush I created 11 composers one day in March, then 2 more, + 3 pieces + 1 cantata. I give you only the ones for DYK, and please only look if you like! Sandeep Bhagwati, Jan Müller-Wieland, Gerd Kühr, Jens Joneleit, Bernd Redmann, Jörg Duda, Epitaphium, Bassoon Quintet, Bright Angel (Waterhouse), Himmelskönig, sei willkommen, BWV 182. Sei willkommen means you are welcome! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:10, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Plural of brother-in-law

Hi LilHelpa, Being a non native speaker of English I sometimes need some typo help. I want to refer to two men both of which were the brother in law of another person. Now what is correct : two brothers-in-law, two brother-in-laws ? Thanks Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 08:55, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

It is "two brothers-in-law" --LilHelpa (talk) 19:03, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 13:57, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Invitation

No request, just an invitation: Unionskirche, Idstein now open. (We'll sing there on Monday, once a year.) Also Paulinerkirche, Leipzig, nobody can sing there anymore. How do you feel (language) about "dynamite" and "blow up"? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:17, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Usage is fine on dynamite(d), better than blow(n) up. "Demolish(ed)" is another option. Great articles as always, Gerda. --LilHelpa (talk) 17:23, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Messiah

Thanks for cleaning up the Bach cantatas by liturgical function! - Did you notice that Messiah (Handel) got the FA-star, even on my user page because I helped a little? What I actually did was write four supporting articles, starting with Messiah structure. I received help for some, - that means they all look a bit different now, and I would like to change that. But I am undecided. Questions: helper thought (s. Messiah Part I) it should be "Accompagnato", not "acc.", "Soprano", not "S", also had the two different movement numbers (Novello / Bärenreiter) in two columns, also form and voice in two columns, but that results in "Chorus (all)" - an "all" that is nonsense. Needless to say, the tables in that "stretched mode" look strange on my small screen. What do you think? (only if you have time, of course) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:14, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Free-ranging dog

Struggling to find an appropriate section title ...

Oh well... Your name appeared at the top of Hoenzadriel page history. Now take a look at the revision after your edit, again, if you would... Does it look normal... oh really? Curiously, the article is being vangalized cross-wiki, someone's really determined. NVO (talk) 02:45, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
