Thanks for the kind words, and for being so refreshingly pleasant and un-bitter all the time. An inspiration to us all. I'm sure I'll see you around eventually, but probably won't be for a while yet.

Some baklava for you!
I'm not by there very often, but today I saw the recent kerfluffle at AN/I and thought you could use some sweets. Lest you think this is all selfless, though, I brought a second fork. Care to split it? -- Khazar2 (talk) 02:33, 20 June 2013 (UTC) |
Thank you, sweet of you, - I would share with Andy first if his doctors allow. Day by day I hope the thread autoarchives (havn't looked today), - I am sure his doctors allow no stress ;) . Did you see the list of 18 discussions "drowning" a project? - Everybody who takes an unbiased look is welcome to share the baklava! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:58, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Infoboxes clarification request archived
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. For the Arbitration Committee, Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 00:39, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
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"

DYK for Jahrhundertring
On 6 November 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Jahrhundertring, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that a French team created the Jahrhundertring (scene pictured) of Wagner's Ring Cycle at the centenary Bayreuth Festival in 1976, causing "a near-riot"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Jahrhundertring. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

nothing secret here
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 then I'm a friend of 28bytes, also no real name but heart and reason.

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)

- We get literally 1000 new editors every month! Problem is, we lose 1050 editors, every month; that *must* stop. Thanks for listening, and thanks for improving wikipedia. p.s. Upgrades,[5] unofficial tutorial,[6] and the 'official' helpdocs,[7] too. 74.192.84.101 (talk) 13:21, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you for sharing elucidation! The infobox story goes back to 2005, did you know? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:39, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
Infobox
Thank you for your cogent arguments on infoboxes for all biographies, so the "look and feel" of Wikipedia extends to all people. The arguments against them for certain classes of people is just silly. I love the way you have collected their specious arguments. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 23:55, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you, it's nice to feel understood ;) - did you vote? - here's another collection of arguments, the candidates speaking for themselves, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 00:02, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks again!
Thanks much, Gerda, for the reprise of your award. It's refreshing and encouraging to encounter some kindness amidst the bellicosity, irrationality, and bigotry that I frequently encounter. TimidGuy (talk) 12:02, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
Hope is precious and great joy is found in living
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:
Wem der große Wurf gelungen, Eines Freundes Freund zu sein, Wer ein holdes Weib errungen, Mische seinen Jubel ein! Ja, wer auch nur eine Seele Sein nennt auf dem Erdenrund! Und wer's nie gekonnt, der stehle Weinend sich aus diesem Bund!
Walk lightly and remain yourself, above the fray. →StaniStani 09:20, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you, it helps to open my shop again. - I sang the words last year, here, helping. The blue colour is also of significance to me. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:28, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
- shop open --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:43, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

The Editor's Barnstar | |
To you, Gerda Arendt, for your unswerving dedication to improving this wonderful free encyclopedia, and for encouraging clear thinking among your fellow editors. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 07:39, 14 February 2014 (UTC) |
- "encouraging clear thinking", - I am actually crying now, thank you. - It will go in the selection "blushing", above. I remember winning an argument by "facts and myth", that was two years ago. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:46, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- Well, you definitely make me think, and your comments restrain my tendencies to rush to judgment. And restraint is something worthy to be cultivated, don't you think? Cullen328 Let's discuss it 08:12, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- I keep trying to encourage clear thinking (without having been able to word it that well), - Eric is someone who didn't need that ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:33, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- Well, you definitely make me think, and your comments restrain my tendencies to rush to judgment. And restraint is something worthy to be cultivated, don't you think? Cullen328 Let's discuss it 08:12, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

- I think you read that wrong, it's for nominations for others, something I am really proud of ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:31, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
- No, I meant what i said Hafspajen (talk) 12:49, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

Cannot find your musician
Dear Gerda. Good morning! Thank you for
Waking up to a horn call: thank you, blowers! "Weiche, Wotan, weiche", as Anna Russell explains, means: "'Be careful, Wotan, be careful.' She then bears him eight daughters." - Please look at the discussion on Dick's talk and tell me what you think of it (and the image). (In real life, I have a friend called Dick who plays horn.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:00, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

DYK for Ewa Ziarek
On 8 March 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ewa Ziarek, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that in 2001, Ewa Ziarek wrote the book An Ethics of Dissensus? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ewa Ziarek. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

FA congratulations
Just a quick note to congratulate you on the promotion of Erschallet, ihr Lieder, erklinget, ihr Saiten! BWV 172 to FA status recently. I know you know all about WP:TFAR and the "pending" list, so this is just a reminder to use them as and when suits you. Many thanks. BencherliteTalk 10:27, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
Can I add my congrats to the above? A thoroughly deserved and welcome addition to our FAs! - SchroCat (talk) 09:57, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
An award for you!
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)
And my long term related goal could be to blue link all the red links in the cantata articles :-]♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:11, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
Congrats on getting this article through FA and a well-deserved FOUR award...just to let you know, you can put a little top icon for FA, GA, and Four on your user page by posting somewhere on your user page:
Just don't forget to change the "icon_nr=" parameter as needed. Good Job, Gerda. I very much enjoy your continued work on the Bach Werke and other musical gems.--ColonelHenry (talk) 22:04, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
re Fuck: Word Taboo and Protecting Our First Amendment LibertiesThank you for your kind words about Fuck: Word Taboo and Protecting Our First Amendment Liberties. I'm not really participating much these days at DYK stuff, so I'll respectfully defer to the community about that. Yes, I nominated Thaddeus Stevens to TFAR, I think it's most educational for our readers in light of recent films 12 Years a Slave (film) and of course Lincoln (2012 film). Thanks again for your kind encouragement of my quality improvement projects, — Cirt (talk) 22:37, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Canto + Passions

Hello, Gerda! I've read both The Creation structure and St Matthew Passion structure and was about to do the same with Canto Ostinato. Do you think I should create a new article or should I embed a wikitable in Canto Ostinato? I'm already doing some tests at my sandbox. Wildbill hitchcock (talk) 22:05, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Reviewing ColonelHenry's articles
I see you are participating. Please, please ensure that you verify that the reference sources actually say what is attributed to them; this is one of the key problems already identified, that the content of the article does not match the reference sources. Risker (talk) 14:07, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
- I am done for now, I checked the articles I know well, translated one of them today and have other things to do. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:10, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
Geology Hall and New Brunswick Theological Seminary I passed for GA. I looked into most of the sources and thought they were fine. It comes as a great shock that CH would do anything disruptive. I'd be very surprised if after all of his articles were checked that they were all hoaxes. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 05:53, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
- Remember not, Lord, our offences is a great article, on a red link by me ;) - also a great title, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:03, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
- ps: the first time "disruptive" was applied to me, I felt honoured. (I don't remember what it was, perhaps scheduling TFA, - I did that once.) - Did you know there's Disruptive Technologies? I think it was also Liz pointing out that disruption is good for creating something new. Generally; I am rather with the "disruptive" than those who protect a status quo as if it was something sacred, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:15, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
- my memory worked: it was not the TFA scheduling (which was uneventful, thanks to Bencherlite's help, in the memorable time of anarchy after Raul had left), but an early Opera discussion, when I had added (in the process of developing {{infobox opera}}) an infobox to an actual opera to try it out, see? (I love the last example of the template, with the "self portrait" of a famous editor) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:07, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

DYK for Cantiones sacrae
On 28 April 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Cantiones sacrae, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that parts of Cantiones sacrae, 40 choral pieces composed by Heinrich Schütz during the Thirty Years' War, have been described as intensely expressive, others as happy? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Cantiones sacrae. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

User:Sagaciousphil/The Rose of Hildesheim ... Hafspajen (talk) 19:39, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you! What do you think of the following: we reduce the rose part in the cathedral, make the rose a different article (the red-linked name looks good to me, "Thousand"!), I suggest a hook for the cathedral not mentioning the rose, and you take your time and nominate the rose separately when it feels right??? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:48, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
YES; yes, yes, no. Why not...nominate together? Hafspajen (talk) 20:22, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
- My experience: people will not click two articles in a hook, bold or not,- extra links are only good for explanation of unknown terms. But as you prefer, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:25, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
I mean two hooks, separate hooks. They don't need to be on same day, just connected. Can't we add... this will be continued next day.. or something? It would be fun to do a hook like that.
This is the Hildesheim cathedral, and we will reveal its secrets tomorrow.... well - maybe it will not work. This is not a newspaper. http://www.liborius.de/glauben/glauben-archiv/kirchenjahr/pfingsten/rosenwunder.html und http://www.herbhedgerow.co.uk/rosehips-in-herbal-beauty/ für Fr. Gerda Hafspajen (talk) 01:20, 30 April 2014 (UTC) File:Orvieto067.jpg
- So we mean exactly the same: one for the cathedral (without rose, there are many other things, one on the rose, mentioning the cathedral, independent dates. Didn't I say that above ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:43, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
- I think this rose-thing is getting in shape. Aren't they some kind of dubble nominations? Like two articles getting nominated as a pair. Gerda, have you ever seen this rose in bloom? And if you did, can you chose two flower pictures that are approximatively about ther same like the ones on this rose? Hafspajen (talk) 14:57, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
- You CAN double nominate (or even more), but - to my experience - it's not good for the single article, people click only one, - if you have the cathedral and the rose in one hook, you will have the cathedral pictured and clicked, - not the rose. But as you like ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:22, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
- forgot to answer your question: no, sorry, I haven't seen it, blooming or not. I have little time today, just peeking in from time to time, managed one rescue, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:25, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

OK, tell me what to do then. Hafspajen (talk) 15:26, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
- Order: you do rose and move it to Main space when it's ready, I take care of cathedral (needs refs) and word a different hook. Look at red link in Cathedral article for rose, looks good to me ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:31, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
- Yeswohl. [source Dom] Hafspajen (talk) 16:27, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, I hadn't seen this discussion earlier - my internet connection problems meant I hadn't really been checking around! Hafs, I agree with Gerda - DYK reviewers seem to avoid double nominations, especially if the articles are longer than the basic 1500-2000 characters, probably because they all seem to be in too much of a hurry. If you want to do a single nomination for the Rose, you would also be able to include an image with it to see if it might get the lead spot when promoted? Let me know exactly what article title you want the draft moved to, please. "Thousand-year Rose" "Rose of Hildesheim" "Hildesheim Rose" "Thousand-year Rose, Hildesheim" I just wonder if it is only "Thousand-year Rose" if someone will then come along and re-direct it to something else? Personally, I hate re-directs! Gerda - if you have any suggestions or comments on things for the Rose article, I'd be very grateful for any advice. SagaciousPhil - Chat 12:11, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
- The possibility of a rose image is a good point. "Thousand-year Rose" - shouldn't that be "Thousand-years Rose"? (don't see any source for that name, singular or plural.) Also used: "1000-year-old rosebush" What do the sources offer? "1000 years of age rosetree" seems a too literal translation. "1000-year-old rose" is not a readable title. Anything else? You know the sources better. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:00, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

- Yeswohl. [source Dom] Hafspajen (talk) 16:27, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
OK, no double DYK. I don't know about the rose name. The Thousand year rose can give us problem in 500 years, and some guy now will surely start jumping up and down - you don't KNOW for sure that is a Thousand-year Rose, because it is not QUITE sure. And so on. Hafspajen (talk) 12:15, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, that's what I mean. So - providing Gerda agrees - it would leave "Rose of Hildesheim" or "Hildesheim Rose" ... unless ther are any other suggestions? SagaciousPhil - Chat 12:25, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
- It's called "Tausendjährig" in German, - you can choose from a translation and whatever name seems best in English sources. don't invent a name that will not be "common", - cathedral getting closer. Should Rose nom cover destruction or, cathedral? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:48, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
- Cathedral doesn't mention destruction, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:02, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
- I was too short: the cathedral was completely destroyed in 1945, but the hook for the cathedral doesn't mention it, the one for the rose could do so, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:17, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
- Found this, will use, rose mentioned, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:01, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

BWV 172
Thank you for the lovely note and I am sorry for my slow response: I'm a bit snowed under. I will try to have a look at Baroque instruments but I am not sure I am equal to the job!
You realize I'm going to have to go off and listen to 172 now, don't you? Thank you! :)
In other news, (a) have you seen The Grand Budapest Hotel? It claims to have been inspired by Zweig. We enjoyed it! and (b) just to boast, my brass band was playing outside St Paul's Cathedral yesterday for the women priests 20Y thing - it was fantastic!
Cheers DBaK (talk) 18:43, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you, love all of it, sorry, didn't see Budapest Hotel, but remember staying in one, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:46, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
- ps: attended evensong in St. Paul's, thought of it writing Utrecht Te Deum and Jubilate, - BWV 172: three trumpets & timpani, no strings, unusual! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:49, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
- Unusual but fabulous! :) DBaK (talk) 18:52, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
- Erm - NO strings?? I am worried that I have missed the point here. I'm just listening and it's v nice but I hear fiddles. (Suzuki vol. 7) Please enlighten me DBaK (talk) 19:01, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
- Only movement 3. There's a table with scoring in the article, is that comprehensible? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:13, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
- AHA! I was too impatient listening. Yes, the table is fine thanks and so is no. 3! :) Lovely. DBaK (talk) 19:19, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
- We performed it in 2000, along with BWV 66, bassist was a brother of Andreas Scholl ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:25, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
- Lucky you! What a gorgeous piece, eh? With a mixture of shame and delight I admit I didn't know it - which is terrible, but great! I've listened to it a LOT since last night. Did you hear AS on R3 the other night? He was great and they played some stuff in which he sang low - which was a surprise, and worked pretty well. I'd still rather he stayed Up There but this was interesting to hear too. DBaK (talk) 09:18, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

Michael Wesely
Are we going to go through this again? As far as Wikipedia is concerned, he was born in West Germany! GiantSnowman 09:07, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is wrong, but I will be kind (see above) and not fight. - Going through this again: I was born in Germany, even if you would say West Germany and perhaps claim you know better. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:14, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- Well I won't go into the history as we all know it, but as far as Wikipedia is concerned there were two countries between 1949 and 1990, East Germany and West Germany, which formed a united nation in 1990. You may not like it, but that's the facts. GiantSnowman 09:19, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- Fact is that Wikipedia seems to regard that as a fact. It is a simplified way to deal with complicated political matters. However, a place (!) of birth doesn't need to specify a political state, simply the location. I was born in Germany. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:29, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- We state [city], [province/state - some times] and [country]. You were born in West Germany or East Germany; 'Germany' did not exist until 1990. GiantSnowman 09:55, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- I said above, that you know better where I was born than I do. I have better things to do. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:24, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- I'm sorry to intervene... I will have to agree with GiantSnowman. "FR Germany (1949–1990)" (commonly referred to as "West Germany") is a former country (just like South Vietnam or SR Croatia). I have been reverted once by you, Gerda, for including the term "West Germany" in an infobox. The fact is that, according to common Wikipedia practice, infoboxes should reflect the contemporary political status of someone's place of birth or death—this is an almost universally accepted convention. This piece of information is relevant as it may tell (and most of the times it does tell) something about the historical context in which a person lived and acted—not to mention matters of historical accuracy. –Omnipaedista (talk) 11:42, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- I see it differently, but have limited time to explain: where someone is born may be sheer coincidence, see Max van Egmond, it's a geographic place. The terms of historical context would be better covered by
|citizenship=
if needed, and should say "FR" rather than "West". My 2 cts. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:08, 5 May 2014 (UTC)- The BRD/DDR was a temporary historic anomaly imposed and sustained largely by outside powers; the nation itself never consented to the split; this distinguishes Germany from many other places that had shifting borders. I think that a person who was born, educated, and lives in a country does know better where they are born than someone who does not fit those parameters. We don't list people born in occupied France in 1942 as born in Vichy France. I also consider it a gesture of respect to allow people to define their own national identity and heal historic wounds. Montanabw(talk) 22:13, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- What a sad discussion, indeed. I remember well that I used to write "West Germany" on the letters and postcards I sent to Britain. But the fall of the Berlin wall happened in 1989. It is true that we still refer to people as being of East or West German descent in this country, but not in order to indicate nationality. As far as the biographies of living persons are concerned, we no longer stress that someone's place of birth was situated in either East or West Germany. So, in the case of Michael Wesely, we simply say that he is a German artist. Period. It is of little importance that he was born in Munich. He now lives in Berlin which is really important for his work. And he works abroad, as you can see from his series of images taken at the MoMA. — But apart from that, I have reverted User:Montanabw because I think that an artists place of birth and residency should be mentioned in the introduction to an article. I rather like it this way, and I gather that the manual of style is disputed in so far.--Aschmidt (talk) 22:48, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

Gerda: I just have to say, I wish every editor on Wiki were like you! I've run into a rough patch lately with people being very cranky and forgetting all about AGF.
