It is time for me to step back from editing. It has been an extraordinary 16+ years. My thanks to everyone who has helped, shown kindness and shared so much during my time here. To you (as well as to those who will be happy to see me leave) I wish you well as you continue on with the Misplaced Pages experiment. I will probably pop back in from time to time but any posts made here will not get answered in a timely fashion. I also know that things may change down the road. Cheers to one and all and happy editing whenever possible :-) MarnetteD|Talk 21:17, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
GoodbyeI'm sorry to see you go, but I understand your reasons. Thank you for all your kindness! It was great knowing you and I wish you the best! --A.S. Brown (talk) 00:20, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

April songs
my story today |
My story today is about the Alchymic Quartet, - I went away from DYK but it's the last one from last year. - The songs are about vacation, continued. - I heard 3 fabulous opera singers yesterday, - one of them has an article of 1 sentence, since 2008 ... - I had heard and worked on the other 2 before, expanded one and created the other. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:52, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
I made an exception from my DYK abstinence for Good Friday, - see my story today. Interesting to compare a hook 2023 style to one in 2012 (see my story today). - I sang, including chorales from Bach's greatest Passion. I recently listened to one by Homilius: a discovery! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:48, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
- Simply wonderful Gerda Arendt. I hope you have a blessed weekend. MarnetteD|Talk 19:33, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
- It feels like it. I managed to add 27 March to the pics, - a hiking day, getting wet --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:08, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
- I loved to see Marian Anderson and her story of protest against discrimination by singing on Easter Sunday 9 April 1939 on the Main page yesterday. Impressions of Easter here and music here. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:24, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
- My story today, Messiah (Handel), was my first dip into the FA ocean, thanks to great colleagues. - a few pics added, one day missing --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:15, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
- I added, finally ;) - today's stories are about Johanna Geisler and Huub Oosterhuis, a singer and a songwriter. More here if you have time. - I had time to listen to a promising mezzo. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:44, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
- Today is the 80th birthday of John Eliot Gardiner. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:19, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
- Misatango coming up for me --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:05, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
Re: overlinking
I mostly agree with you here. My plan was to finish checking my watchlist, which after 3 days is so long that it's nerve-wracking, and then to address that problem by removing many of the unnecessary links that had been removed correctly in the other user's mass removal. Would you mind terribly if I reverted you, promising to do at once what it was my intention to do, now that my watchlist is at ease? That would be 100 times easier that searching the whole article. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 20:03, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
- Reverting is not the way to follow the policy and guidelines SergeWoodzing. Please add the links when you have the time - there is no hurry in doing that. Since there is no way to when you will have the time to get to it the article is better off without the overlinks. Thanks for your work over the years here at WikiP.

May songs
my story today |
---|
Misatango came, and I had a good story on coronation day: the Te Deum we sang that day. And the following day we sang it for the composer ;) - And today we remember a composer who created music especially for us! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:16, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
more pleasant music (heard today!) if you click on songs - did you know a string quartet with two cellos (and no article yet in English? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:48, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
- I am so far behind on my thank yous to you Gerda Arendt. All your posts are much appreciated. I've been watching several performances by Regula Mühlemann. She is marvelous. Have a nice week. MarnetteD|Talk 00:13, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you, I will watch out for her. Lieselotte Fink, our soloist, moved me to tears when she sang the Et incarnatus est in the Misatango, and I stood next to her mother in choir. She was a baby on her mother's lap when we rehearsed St Matthew Passion the first time. Last week, I felt I had to take care of the articles of two mezzos who died, - can you help with Soňa Červená? The reviewer was not happy but didn't explain why. She received an award for best actress when well over 80, - what a life! - Now on the Main page: Günter Wewel, one of the first basses I saw on stage. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:13, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
