November thanks
Thank you noticing Hevenu shalom aleichem, - my story today, and for your comments above. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:50, 2 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Anytime - it's one of my favourite pieces of Jewish music, alongside "Az der Rebbe Zingt", which is so joyful but also versatile. Have a nice evening - 21:00, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Vielen dank! I thought the one looking up to the octagon was particularly lovely. I can also celebrate reaching 2.5k edits today (although the number is only superficial), which is enjoyable to look at. 23:15, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Congratulations! - I proudly remember having sung in an oratorio premiere seven years ago OTD. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:32, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Stunning! Nice to see some sunny weather - we're fairly settled into winter here in the UK. Thank you commenting here, I really appreciate it: it's nice to see the everything going on. 21:48, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for improving article quality in November! - My story today is a DYK hook from 13 years ago OTD: about the great music at one of my churches. Mozart's Requiem to come on Sunday, coupled with Arvo Pärt's Da pacem Domine, - I guess you might come if it was a bit closer. Perhaps watch the video of our last production, our first on yt, ever. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:51, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
 * And to you! I'm sure that it was superb - would you email/whatever's easiest me a link or channel name? I'd love to have a listen, but can't seem to find it... 00:14, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Per @Lee Vilenski's GAN comment and seeing as transcluded templates are not allowed in signatures anyway, I took the liberty of converting your signature to html. Unfortunately, your current signature is a bit too complex to fit under the 255 character limit (for me anyway). I've made some similar mockups for you though:
 * Without the padding: Frzzl   talk;  contribs  (248 characters)
 * Drop the contribs and get a much more lightweight option: Frzzl  talk  (194 characters)
 * Bold tags lets you keep padding:  Frzzl   talk; contribs  (241 characters)
 * Similar idea with underline:  Frzzl  talk; contribs  (241 characters)
 * Feel free to use these or not, but please stop using the transcluded templates per the signature guidelines. All the best, Schminnte &#91;<i style="color:#0645AD">talk to me</i>&#93; 01:41, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to, who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.

Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. 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 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.

Autopatrolled granted
Hi Frzzl, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! –&#8239;Joe (talk) 09:36, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Precious anniversary
--Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:50, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Today's TFA, Felix M. Warburg House, was written by Vami_IV and Epicgenius, introduced: "This article is about another of the great houses that once lined Fifth Avenue in New York. Specifically, this is the mansion of Felix M. Warburg, a Jewish financier who ignored fears of anti-Semitic reprisal to his decided to build himself a big Gothic manor in the middle of New York City. Although the Warburgs no longer remain, their legacy does: the museum is now the home of the Jewish Museum (Manhattan) and the building largely survives as they left it. It's a beautiful building and I hope you will all enjoy it."! - in memory --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:44, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Good afternoon Frzzl, as one who is a newbie when it comes to this website, I'm not quite sure how to format this memo to you. But, here's what I have to say. As we made edits on the Femboy article, you made the claim that the definition for a femboy being "a feminine boy who express themselves with traditionally feminine behaviors" sounded redundant to you. While I can see why you considered this definition as being redundant, it's important to understand, definitions are not meant to please your aesthetic preferences but rather to be factually correct with what they're trying to convey. The definition beforehand being " is a slang term for a male or non-binary individual who expresses themselves with traditionally feminine behaviours" is simply factually incorrect. That's why I made the necessary adjustments to the definition to provide the readers with a more insightful and honest answer regarding what a "femboy" truly is. It's also important to note that due to the origins of femboy culture originating in the United States, it is not fallacious to correct the word "jewellery" with "jewelry" out of aesthetic appeal, as it does count as a grammar fix. According to Grammar, grammar is defined as "the set of rules for how a natural language is structured, as demonstrated by its speakers or writers." I decided to uphold the American definition of "femboy" due to its rich American history. Please do not vandalize Wikipedia any further and I understand the place of heart behind your remarks. Out of the kindness of my heart, I'll allow your wishes to come true and uphold your request for "jewelry", to be kept as "jewellery", other than that. My edits are upheld.

Best of luck to you and your future editing.

Yours truly, chumchumlol

Pictured on the same Main page: Brian's Mozart family grand tour, my story today, and Mozart related to all three items of music on my talk: our 2023 concert, an opera in a theatre where a Mozart premiere took place, and those remembered, Martti Wallén, a bass, and Liana Isakadze, a violinist from Georgia, (whose article would be better with more details about her music-making). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:17, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

My story today is - because of the anniversary of the premiere OTD in 1782 - about Die Entführung aus dem Serail, opera by Mozart, while yesterday's was - because of the TFA - about Les contes d'Hoffmann, opera by Offenbach, - so 3 times Mozart again if you click on "music" ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:53, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for improving article quality in July! - Today's story is about a photographer who took iconic pictures, especially View from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on Manhattan, 9/11, yesterday's was a great mezzo, and on Thursday we watched a sublime ballerina. If that's not enough my talk offers the chamber music from two amazing concerts. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:05, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
