A fact from In dich hab ich gehoffet, Herr appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 4 February 2020 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Please help me to a word: Reusner didn't "use" a melody - as I understand it but may be wrong". The hymnal had only his text, and a line saying sing to the melody of the other. Is there a word for that? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:26, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I should have commented on that because "noted" was not clear. Maybe "prescribed", "suggested", "recommended", "requested"? I have changed to "recommended" per the wording under "History". Jmar67 (talk) 00:02, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know. In those old hymnals, they just had the words, and the title of the melody. Is that a recommatition? Later, a melody for several hymns became called a hymn tune (a term I only know in English), but it would not be historically correct to use it this early. Not happy, but also not knowing anything better. Thank you for thinking. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:54, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You mean "recommendation". I was just being consistent with the previous wording, which I had not seen when I wrote the OP. I think now that "designated" might be better. Jmar67 (talk) 13:02, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Do not think either one is useful, especially not "modern". If year is given, it will be understood as the current edition as of that citation. Jmar67 (talk) 15:52, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Re "... especially not "modern" ..." – "current" is actually worse, imho, see WP:RELTIME (I don't think there's guidance against using the word "modern" when appropriate; "current" is a no-no in mainspace under virtually all circumstances—that is, when writing an encyclopedia, as opposed to writing a blog or an article in a journal—per the guidance). Other than that, giving a reference to an edition that has the EG number is likely indeed the best advice. --Francis Schonken (talk) 16:48, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
A ref giving the EG number is usually given, but I understood the question "when?" as if any link to Evangelisches Gesangbuch needed that is was introduced from 1993, and is current as I write this. (And yes, understand, that "current" is not wanted.) There's a link, and the information "1993" is of no consequence for the hymn article(s), this and others. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:37, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
