Here Zhao Mengfu depicts the changing seasons with profound vibrancy and delicacy. The artist brought the work to his friend Zhou Mi—who had been exiled for refusing to work in the Mongol-controlled court—in hopes of comforting him with a reminder of the home to which he will never return. Autumn Colors on the Qiao and Hua Mountains, Zhao Mengfu, 1295

February music

story · music · places

On the main page today, 300 years after its first performance, Bach's cantata BWV 125, - a lovely very intimate piece, with peace and joy in the title. Enjoy listening with score - I discovered that only now! - Today is also the birthday of James Joyce, who has an article by many authors. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:03, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My story torday is about an actor who played in almost every German TV series and in internal cinema. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:40, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

today: a German-born Spanish art collector, -the video in her honour is remarkable, as what she gave the world. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:25, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I find today's birthday child particularly inspiring, by enthusiasm and determination. That was - believe it or not - a pictured DYK in 2021, without the last line though. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:52, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today's story is about Edith Mathis, who portrayed young women by Mozart. The video of a 1993 interview has videos of her performances. - I saw my brother on stage, - see places. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:22, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I point at a composer today, as the main page does. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:12, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding BWV 8, I thought I had explained that I first needed to go over the other chorale cantatas, - last one begun today. But fine. - Did you follow the ping to WT:DYK#Alexander Goehr? Depending on the outcome, we will have to tackle FAC ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:20, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2025 March newsletter

[edit]

The first round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 26 February. As a reminder, we are no longer disqualifying the lowest-scoring contestants; everyone who competed in round 1 will advance to round 2 unless they have withdrawn or been banned from Wikipedia. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points at the end of each round. Unlike the round points in the main WikiCup table, which are reset at the end of each round, tournament points are carried over between rounds and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far.

Round 1 was very competitive compared with previous years; two contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and the top 16 contestants all scored more than 500 round points. The following competitors scored more than 800 round points:

The full scores for round 1 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 18 featured articles, 26 featured lists, 1 featured-topic article, 197 good articles, 38 good-topic articles and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 23 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 550 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 26 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2, which begins on 1 March. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

New month: today is the birthday of Chopin and Ricardo Kanji, see my stories of today and yesterday, with dream music by the first and Bach played by the other. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:48, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today: Carmen turns 150, as the main page and my story tell you. I chose a 1962 concert of the Habanera, - enjoy! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:56, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On Ravel's birthday, we also think of a conductor and five more composers ;) - Thank you for the help with Goehr! No need to go for FAC, but it would be nice ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:39, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today Rossini's latest "sin", as the main page has - ee'll sing three motets for double choir by Pachelbel on 23 March. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:22, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today I could have written five stories off the main page, and chose Sofia Gubaidulina. I find the TFA also interesting, and two DYK, and a birthday OTD. How about you? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:35, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Back to Pachelbel: I began Nun danket alle Gott (Pachelbel), but can't find much, not even yet when composed. Do you know more? Should we perhaps rather write an article about the motets, than individual stubs? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:20, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What do think of this one? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:23, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today: an opera, 100 years old OTD, on Bach's birthday. - Still the Pachelbel question. Rehearsal tomorrow. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:18, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today, 300 years of Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern, BWV 1! We sang works for (mostly) double choir by Pachelbel (3), Johann Christoph Bach, Kuhnau/Bach, Gounod and Rheinberger! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:07, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I found one decent ref for Pachelbel (whose article is wide open for improvements), by the editor of the 1954 vocal music. Still no clue when they were composed. - Today: Jörg Streli, an architect to whom you can listen (in German, though) and the Jahrhundertring, nominated for GA (both hidden on the main page) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:39, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Alexander Goehr

[edit]

On 7 March 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Alexander Goehr, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Alexander Goehr formed New Music Manchester, described as a "distinctive, progressive force", with Peter Maxwell Davies, Harrison Birtwistle, Elgar Howarth and John Ogdon? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Alexander Goehr. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Alexander Goehr), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.

WikiCup 2025 May newsletter

[edit]

The second round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 28 April at 23:59 UTC. To reiterate what we said in the previous newsletter, we are no longer disqualifying contestants based on how many points (now known as round points) they received. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points at the end of each round. These tournament points are carried over between rounds, and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers at the end of each round. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far. Everyone who competed in round 2 will advance to round 3 unless they have withdrawn or been banned.

Round 2 was quite competitive. Four contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and eight scored more than 500 points (including one who has withdrawn). The following competitors scored at least 800 points:

In addition, we would like to recognize Generalissima (submissions) for her efforts; she scored 801 round points but withdrew before the end of the round.

The full scores for round 2 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 13 featured articles, 20 featured lists, 4 featured-topic articles, 138 good articles, 7 good-topic articles, and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 19 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 300 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed in Round 3. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

Looking at images of Palestrina: what do you think of those in c:Category:Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina? The German Wikipedia uses one clearly marked as a 19th-century depiction, but his English bio has an undated one, and Missa brevis (Palestrina) comes with one declared 16th century. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:23, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
