Thank you for bringing her to the main page! - I'm on vacation, so missed some interesting stories, such as about Jubilant Sykes. Still on: Richie Beirach, jazz pianist. Which of his music samples would you have chosen? - Can you perhaps help to references for Bernhard Waldenfels' publications? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:04, 6 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind the last - the Vorlass in Freiburg should do. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:01, 6 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I ran into an edit conflict with you for Cornelis Witthoefft. Should I wait until you are done? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:29, 9 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I've no hope for the article. I give up. Grimes2 17:32, 9 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I'll see, having a soft spot for people working in Lied ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:34, 9 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Tamás Vásáry today, who began his career with a Mozart concerto at age 8. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:10, 12 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Could you help adding more references to György Kurtág, 100 on 19 Feb? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:23, 17 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much, nothing open!! - Tōru Takemitsu has also referencing problems, in case you have time and interest, - see talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:09, 18 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Kurtág! In 2004 I was there when he and his wife played for the Rheingau Musik Festival where he was the featured composer. They played as the 2019 DYK said, on an upright piano, - listen, the last piece was the same. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:52, 19 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Today's main page features four biographies I helped to bring there, two women and two men, three opera singers (one pictured) and an actor, - a record for me, I believe ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:50, 24 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Aribert Reimann's 90th birthday, with a hook mentioning his 80ths, the opera played by Oper Frankfurt after he died, see video, and I was there. - Ruta de los Volcanes is among the latest places. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:21, 4 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Of the four topics I helped to bring to the main page, I'm most proud of a woman's work, so made it my story. As it happens, last year's story OTD was about the woman. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:24, 16 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

on Bach's birthday, a story about my joy --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:38, 21 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

my story has remained the same for this day from the beginning: Bach's Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern, BWV 1, first performed on Annunciation Day 1725. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:32, 25 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

more Bach in story and music on Palm Sunday, imagine: four Easter cantatas in today's concert, and more places in Cyprus! - thank you for all the refs for Kluge! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:59, 29 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  • Special report: What actually happened during the Wikimedia security incident?
    A horrifying exploit took place, which could have had catastrophic and far-reaching consequences if used maliciously; instead, it seems to have happened by accident and was used for childish vandalism. How did this happen, and what did the script actually do?

Linking of Currency in Infobox and WP:Linking

[edit]

Hi Grimes2, concerning your edit of Technische Universität Darmstadt today, I was wondering which specific part of WP:Linking (that you gave as justification for your edit) applies for not linking currencies for the budget in the infobox? Thanks in advance and best regards! Proof finder (talk) 19:17, 19 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

As you did not seem to bother and I did not see evidence for how the edit is covered by WP:Linking, I consider the edit a mistake and will revert. Proof finder (talk) 10:36, 22 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Its the result of a script: importScript('User:Ohconfucius/script/Common Terms.js'); I think, they know what they do. Grimes2 14:59, 22 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your reply, and I am happy that you did not justify your edit with ChatGPT or similar. However, your response is also not really a sufficient justification in my eyes. Programmatic changes should always be open for human appeal or verification. Proof finder (talk) 18:01, 22 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Common terms are relative. I believe, that most users know what a Euro is. No one uses this link. Grimes2 18:21, 22 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I believe you might be under a bias at this point, which happens quite easily for such things, and your statement sounds very Euro-centric to me. The Euro is not the US Dollar or Pound Sterling. If you look around at other large European universities, many that list their budget have wiki links to the specific currency for their budget (besides ones with Euro currency for example Swiss, Danish, or Czech). If we additionally had a conversion to, e.g., the US Dollar, I would agree that a wiki link was not needed. Proof finder (talk) 21:32, 22 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Happy Easter! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:15, 5 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Today is the last day Easter Oratorio is on the main page, - did you know that the article became FA because I was sooo frustrated that neither DYK nor OTD accepted it for Easter last year, the 300th anniversary? Thank you for trying a hook last year! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:39, 8 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for help with Schwarz-Schilling and Adorf! Do you think you could translate de:Hessischer Friedenspreis? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:39, 14 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The prize deserves an English Wikipedia article. It's not so easy with peace, see Abiy Ahmed, recipient 2019, withdrawn 2022. Grimes2 13:27, 14 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! - Today's FA is Bridge, - a broad topic by many. My father loved bridges, and I wrote a few articles with that in mind (Empress Elisabeth Bridge, adding to Chain bridge and Müngsten Bridge, the latter for childhood memory), and also thinking of bridges between people. - I brought two bios to the same page, Christian Schwarz-Schilling and Bill Ramsey whose regular Swingtime I used to hear in the car driving to choir rehearsals. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:11, 17 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

ps: listening to the hr sinfonieorchester concert, intermission --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:13, 17 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tip. Sacre was good. Grimes2 20:19, 17 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
