: ], thank you for the thorough review. I understand that in order to make Bach's chorale cantatas a good topic, this cantata - as part of it - has to be a good article, and I am willing to put work into it to make it so. However, right now I'm working simultaneously on several others with the same goal, and they require less work. I see me getting to serious changes for BWV 8 after the others, which will be in February. (The only one written later, BWV 1, is already a FA.) I'll make small changes now, perhaps today, but will then have to ask if the nom should remain open for longer or be closed and started over when I'm ready. Y'all: any help with this one and the others - making changes or reviewing - is welcome, see above, ]. --] (]) 08:06, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Dear Gerda,

Hans provided me with this 3 CD set two months ago. It contains recordings of all items of Band 21 of the ''Gesamtausgabe'', except the sketches Nos. 42 (Kyrie g-Moll (Fragment) - WAB 140) and 43 (Kyrie Es-Dur (Fragment) - WAB 139), for which no recording is available. I enjoy it very much.

Thank you for your review of my DYK nomination! I appreciate your time and consideration. If you'd like to read more about Spanish Hill, I found a very interesting website online from a historian local to the area (Deb Twigg; she was also mentioned in the article). . I wanted to include a little bit of fun information regarding "7 foot tall horned Indian skeletons" found in the area, but I couldn't justify its inclusion, since they weren't found on the hill specifically, but in the general vicinity.
Anyway, thanks again for reviewing my hook, and for all your other great work at DYK and elsewhere.-] (]) 19:01, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
P.s., I see your point about the etymology being in the lede section, but I feel like it might be important information for visitors (all three of them) who might be looking for that specific information, although I did shorten that sentence to reduce its prominence.-] (]) 19:04, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

I'd consider it a favor if we could go with "Twelve". The AmEng dictionaries I use all capitalize it (AHD, M-W, Random House), and the BrEng dictionaries (oxforddictionaries.com, ]), and I think it's important to follow the higher-quality sources. Having said that: I'm not looking to establish a precedent that I get to decide usage because of my hat. I've made a proposal to the other two TFA coords that we look to pull in more volunteers and get more feedback on decisions. But until I can get that going, I think I'll make Bencherlite less nervous if we follow modern usage, and I also think that following the dictionaries is the decision that a group is most likely to settle on, when we start making these decisions as a group. - Dank (]) 01:45, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Die Fliege

We move from 2024 to 2025, with new calendar pictures and new music. The topic of Bach's chorale cantatas will keep me busy until 25 March, and then I want to focus on performances more generally, in history and in my experience. You can follow my daily stories, {{User Gerda Arendt/Top}}, often with an image and something to listen to: let's stay inspired and connected. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:57, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

#call for collaboration points at issues where I need help, such as reviews. Ongoing efforts regard locations that played a role in my life, recent deaths, music heard and sung, composers, gardens. Watch my user page for articles, done in collaboration. Compare 2024 for the amazing number of users who began and expanded articles. Thanks also to reviewers, and I do plan to review more and write less, and in writing, focus more on quality than the little daily article.

2025 calender pics and musical events begin here, and the 2025 diary of my own pictures of places, songs, food, flowers began here, - just watch those lists if you are interested.

My talk goes like this: on top there's the "story" related to the day. Below are three or more boxes, often one for people remembered and others for musical experiences, performing or listening. In these boxes, topics related to the top story and topics featured on the Main page appear bold. Right here you see the image of the month with songs of the month, typically related to meetings with friends who gave them to me. I archive from time. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:25, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben, BWV 8

The article Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben, BWV 8 you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben, BWV 8 and Talk:Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben, BWV 8/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Aza24 -- Aza24 (talk) 00:24, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Aza24, thank you for the thorough review. I understand that in order to make Bach's chorale cantatas a good topic, this cantata - as part of it - has to be a good article, and I am willing to put work into it to make it so. However, right now I'm working simultaneously on several others with the same goal, and they require less work. I see me getting to serious changes for BWV 8 after the others, which will be in February. (The only one written later, BWV 1, is already a FA.) I'll make small changes now, perhaps today, but will then have to ask if the nom should remain open for longer or be closed and started over when I'm ready. Y'all: any help with this one and the others - making changes or reviewing - is welcome, see above, #calling for collaboration. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:06, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Draft:William Owen (composer)

Gerda, I was asked to help on this because it failed draft review. I added a few sources, but thought maybe you would like to take this on as it is about a hymn composer. Best.4meter4 (talk) 03:57, 29 December 2024 (UTC

I am interested, and thank you for thinking of me, but I have a few things I want to handle first, - just look above. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:57, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, still working on the last cantata for 2024, - will probably come over tomorrow with a photo or more tomorrow, to continue sharing. You can probably guess that the new calendar pics will be at User:Gerda Arendt/Images 2025--Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:23, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, great helper all around, for example the latest RD for which I had no time due to real life! - I wonder about the ratio of (lazy) click-thanks to real typed thank-you notes, and hope that I can offer more of the latter kind. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:00, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

New compilation of cello music from Venice

Good morning Gerda, have you already seen this article? Some composers such as Rita Stroh already have WP articles, but there might be more in this compilation from Venice. - Best wishes for a great New Year. Munfarid1 (talk) 08:19, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Articles of people who recently died have been a focus from 2019. in 2025, they have been a daily topic, both on the Main page were Helmut Schlesinger appeared from 31 January until 5 January, but also in the daily little articles, with the one exception of a Sunday. Not all of them made it to Main page appearance, but were at least improved. Storye book is great in finding images, MONTENSEM in polishing composers' articles, Thriley in translating to begin articles for people with red links, Grimes2 all around helpful in finding and exploiting references, and several excellent in posting (just look belpw).
