DYK for Spannungen

Thank you for great help! Could you perhaps mention Widmann's Octet and the premiere at Spannungen in his article? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:17, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

October music
Today is Erntedank in Germany, thanksgiving, and we celebrated our village's 650th anniversary, and had the dress rehearsal for Verdi's Requiem with an interesting band of marimba, piano, horn, bass, timpani and drum, - concert tomorrow, our national holiday. In case of interest: 5 pm. - Seeing a pic I took on the Main page was also a nice harvest. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:19, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

Great music coming up: 4 November, Ukrainian choir OREYA will give a concert at Maria Königin in Niedernhausen, and 6 November, the Idstein St. Martin chamber choir will perform Bach's Actus Tragicus and more in a Geistliche Abendmusik (Spende), 7pm I believe. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:50, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

New day, another pictured DYK (but not pictured by me this time): look at power work tensions (if you translate) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:53, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

today's DYK: two facts from the two concert of this years Rheingau Musik Festival I liked best, both a cappella singing. If you follow the songs, you see a circus, where I performed singing, and in the end the whole tent joined for Dona nobis pacem. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:24, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

Guten Tag Grimes2, ich wäre dir dankbar, wenn du dir einmal den Artikel ansehen und ihn ggf. im Hinblick auf die englische Sprache korrigieren würdest. - Gisbert ツ (talk)  Illustrate Wikipedia ! 10:21, 14 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Da gibt es nicht viel zu korrigieren. Nur: Was ist prop? Grimes2 (talk) 10:47, 14 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Vielen Dank, Grimes2. The prob heißt die Stütze. Gleichwohl habe ich den Satz etwas umformuliert. - Gisbert ツ (talk)  Illustrate Wikipedia !   18:14, 15 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Guten Abend Grimes2, wie ich jetzt gesehen habe, hast du die Quellen wesentlich erweitert und zusätzlich einige US-Patente hinzugefügt und dadurch den Artikel deutlich verbessert. Dafür mein besonderer Dank! Ich denke, dass so viele Quellenangaben, wie wir sie jetzt haben, für einen kurzen Artikel mehr als ausreichend sind und habe daher den Citationsvermerk über dem Artikel entfernt.

Thank you for what you did for the article, great work! I wonder if his name to appear in all the publications, and I just noticed that the earlier paragraph on his youth was taken word for word from The Guardian, - thank goodness I had already copy-edited because it was so much ot our style. Should have made me conspicuous yesterday. He'd still deserve more but it's bedtime, and tomorrow he'll be off the Main page. The first time I felt it was too soon. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:04, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

Guten Morgen Grimes2, ich habe den Abschnitt "History" überarbeitet und erweitert. Der Text steht vorerst hier: User:Gisbert_K/sandbox3. Würdest du ihn dir bitte einmal anschauen und ggf. korrigieren? Danke! - Gisbert ツ (talk)  Illustrate Wikipedia ! 08:26, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Hallo Grimes2, leider hat der User:Nikkimaria meine Ergänzung komplett zurückgesetzt, angeblich wegen unzulänglicher Quellen. Ich habe dann meinen Entwurf nachgebessert und auf der Diskussionsseite des Artikels Klarinette angekündigt, dass ich diesen Text demnächst wieder einstellen möchte. Schau dir bitte einmal an, was der User:Binksternet dazu geschrieben hat, einmal dieses: "Your English composition suffers from stiff and stilted wording", zum anderen geht er nochmals auf die Quellen ein. Könntest du vielleicht die englische Ausdrucksweise in Ordnung bringen? Ich würde mich dann nochmals mit den Quellen befassen. --- Gisbert ツ (talk)  Illustrate Wikipedia ! 20:11, 11 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Mein English ist leider nicht gut genug. Vielleicht sollte ein Muttersprachler drüber schauen. Du kannst auch Gerda fragen. Grimes2 (talk) 20:18, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

December thanks
Thank you for many displays of help and friendship over the month (and the year), such as including the FAZ article about Bernd Loebe, and coming to "our" concert. The latest pics have one of the impressive Chagall exhibition you recommended, and my talk has a pic of the choir after the concert now, likely to become next year's lead image on my user page. Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:16, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Frankfurt museums sidebar - sigh. This should be the same for all museums, for easy maintenance. Alternatively, have it at one place, and link from the individual museums. I have no idea why ill doesn't work for you, - it does for me. Please never code  but , or all editor colours in edit mode are reduced to a uniform pink. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:31, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I got a parse error with ill. "in one place": not possible, because of the different highlights and links. Grimes2 (talk) 12:39, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I still got the correct link to the de-article. Easy remedy: write the articles however short ;) - Quite generally: a template that needs to be adjusted in every article it calls it isn't a good idea. Have it one place, or make it a real template. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:01, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
 * First: The "OSM Location map" is not made by me (Author is User:RobinLeicester). I got the error message: : Couldn't parse JSON: Syntax error. OSM Location map doesn't accept subtemplate "ill". And needs to be adjusted individually for every article to highlight numbered dots in map, to highlight numbered dot in legend, to delink legend. Grimes2 (talk) 14:43, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
 * So back to the proposal to have that thing only in one place (if at all). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:17, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I like that OSM template: looks good and is informative. It's also on the review article Museumsufer. Don't know, if we need two maps in every individual museum article. Your opinion? Grimes2 (talk) 15:28, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅ Central template created (Template:Museumsufer Frankfurt), commented out redundant maps, use central template in articles with no infobox map. Grimes2 (talk) 09:07, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you! - Enjoy the season, dreaming of peace! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:40, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for coming to listen today, - such a treat! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:36, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you, for being member of a sophisticated choir. Grimes2 (talk) 17:47, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I will tell the conductor (31). - Today, pictured, the soprano of our choral concert of the year, his first. More in the context: User talk:Gerda Arendt, in case of interest. - Enjoy the season! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:53, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I may not have picked up all the details of the map discussion, so apologies if this is missing the mark. My instinct on the individual museum articles is that they need something consistent that not only says they are part of the Museumsufer, but gives some brief details of what that is. The OSM Location Map with all the dots and list does that, but may be over the top, as most of the detail is not relevant to that article, so something short, embeded within the infobox, would also make sense. If the full map is wanted on all pages (and there is a case to be made that it provides the wider context to each museum), it is possible to 'semi-automatically' highlight the dot relating to an individual museum. (cf Flushing Meadows-Corona Park map which does this by being passed a highlight number.) RobinLeicester (talk) 12:04, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Semi-automatic highlight works: See Caricatura Museum Frankfurt. Thanks for the Tip. Grimes2 (talk) 12:37, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
 * What do you think about the incorporation of the OSM location map in article Städel? Grimes2 (talk) 13:32, 28 December 2022 (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). - I sang, including chorales from Bach's greatest Passion. I recently listened to one by Homilius: a discovery! - If you like quite powerful music for Easter, consider coming to St. Bonifatius on Sunday at 11 (or 10 if you want to hear it twice). Widor for the end, not the famous Toccata, but choir and organ. - I like Tenebrae for Rheingau Musik Preis, - had booked their concert anyway ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:09, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

ReferenceExpander
Just a friendly heads-up in case you weren't already aware, since I know you've used it in the past: careless use of the script has caused serious problems and it's currently at MFD. I and several other users have !voted that the script be deleted or disabled, and I wouldn't recommend using it at all unless you thoroughly check every reference it modifies against the previous revision. If you're interested in a more thorough explanation of the script's issues, has provided an excellent summary at the MFD. — SamX &#91;talk · contribs&#93; 04:15, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

June songs
Thank you for help with him, and already the actress! - Regarding Widmann (above): great idea! He knows how to impress me! - I like today's Main page, and here's why ;) - (DYK that we got filmed when performing the piece mentioned?) -- (and then I forgot to sign)

Last weekend was nice, class reunion a funny number of years after completing school, and the lovely park where I spent many Sundays as a child. Today's story is quite dramatic, there's a yt trailer to the hook. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:02, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

Happy Jörg Widmann 50! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:45, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Today's story is about a singer whom I saw twice, not Wagner and Strauss, but Bach and Weill - more vacation pics! Did you see that most obits come with an image from the premiere of Babylon? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:11, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Today, the story is ten years old, the Main page had three great people who recently died, and I invite you to look at two videos around concerts I heard, in the short one actually seen in the background, and the long one conducted by Altinoglu. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:39, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

Today: a woman caught by the iron curtain (improved with SusunW and GRuban), yesterday: the Mass in B minor, heard in concert then, three musical videos are out, and vacation pics. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:02, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

Plenty of music on my talk now that our festival started where I saw and heard the enchanting Diana Tishchenko. I added a pic that I took to her article, also a lovely short video with interview and music. She said its all about communication, and true for us here as well. - On Sunday, my choir celebrates 50 years! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:27, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

July music
Great music (in June, I'm behind: three great RMF concerts)! - Last Saturday, a friend played for us at her birthday party, on four instruments including baryton, with family (granddaughters!) and colleagues, from Renaissance to Haydn. - My story today is very personal: the DYK appeared on Wikipedia's 15th birthday, and describes a concert I sang. I was requested to translate the bio into German for a memorial concert ... - see background, and we talked about life and death. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:27, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

On today's Main page, you can find a cantata that Bach first performed 300 years ago, and an iconic saxophonist from East Germany. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:08, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

While today's DYK highlights Santiago on his day, I did my modest share with my story today, describing what I just experienced, pictured. I began the article of the woman in green. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:52, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Today Jahrhundertring, and I'm listening to Götterdämmerung from the Bayreuth Festival (pictured), - the image (of a woman who can't believe what she has to see) features also on the article talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:27, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

August music
My story today - a first - isn't about an article by me, but one I reviewed for DYK, see here. I like all: topic, "hook", connected article (a GA on its way towards FA), image and the music "in the background". I just returned from a weekend with two weddings, so also like the spirit ;) - Pics to come, I promise one cake, the other was too large! Good music, and better even in the concert ending the second day, - Goldberg Variations theme for an encore, after Dohnányi Serenade! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:08, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Again not by me: today's story - with the triumph of music over military - is uplifting! - No cake yet, but a butterfly and open-air opera. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:02, 9 August 2023 (UTC)


 * The other side of the coin: Music in service of the military, Prussia's Glory. Grimes2 (talk) 10:14, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Now: picture of heart-shaped cake(s) uploaded! - Today's story is about a tenor, - why his roles are not linked on the Main page remains a mystery to me. Today is also the birthday of the Bayreuth Festival. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:49, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

Precious anniversary
--Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:44, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

One more day uploaded, with another wedding cake - I couldn't resist. Today's story is about the Inkpot Madonna who returned to "her place" 9 years ago, and also has aspects of early learning, remember? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:43, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

Today is the anniversary of the premiere of Götterdämmerung. Berit Lindholm sang its final scene in concert at the Royal Festival Hall in London, only four years after her stage debut in a Mozart opera in Stockholm. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:25, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Today is Debussy's birthday. - Thank you for the invitation, sounds interesting, but the days are already quite full around then. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:06, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

Today is Gwendolyn Killebrew's birthday, - pictured: a spider and sweet food --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:34, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

This too shall pass. - Ten years ago on 28 August, I heard a symphony, with a heavy heart because of the pending decision in WP:ARBINFOBOX, and not worried about my future here but Andy's. - It passed, and I could write the DYK about calling to dance, not battle, and Andy could write the DYK mentioning about peace and reconciliation, - look.

(forgot to sign the last) - You may have noticed that contemporary music was moved from a redirect to a dab page, and what is meant - for example for Widmann and his works - sits at Contemporary classical music. Please help with the fixes if you can. We have hundreds of articles hanging in the air, but at least are below 500 now. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:22, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

September music
On Clara Schumann's birthday: her husband's wedding gift, Myrthen, didn't make it - as hoped - on her wedding day (yesterday), nor today but will be featured, probably on 18 September. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:11, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Not on 18 Sep, - you may help in the nomination. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:21, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Today I remember Raymond Arritt, who still helps me, five years after he died, per what he said in my darkest time on Wikipedia (placed in my edit-notice as a reminder), and by teh rulez. - Latest pics from a weekend in Berlin (one more day to come). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:44, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

My story today is The Company of Heaven ("company" with a double meaning, but angelic company in the end). - Pictures of the one more day yes, but no others yet, it's a week with concert or opera almost every night! - Thank you for updating the Oper Frankfurt - I won a bet. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:28, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Too tired to begin October: thank you so much for adding to Tabea Zimmermann! Just the recordings: could you get the notable colleagues to the prose, with a link, not mentioning the others at all. Its a bit of a stretch to list all these names as authors ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:46, 2 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Tabea Zimmermann performs today Bartok Viola Concerto at Kronberg Festival. I hope to have the opportunity to watch at hr-Sinfonieorchester website. Grimes2 (talk) 08:00, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I have tickets, actually the reason for improving her article. She would be my article today, but now her birthday is on 8 October, so I'll wait. Did I tell you that I happened to sit next to her in a concert and recognize her until after back home? (Actually that was what prompted me to improve.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:15, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Good to know, that Tabea Zimmermann is back in Frankfurt. Grimes2 (talk) 09:18, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅ Grimes2 (talk) 09:26, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Better, thank you! - I got the music titles at the beginning. - If you have more time (I don't):
 * I don't think we need any names in the refs, - they just clutter the references section without context, and will be the first thing a readers sees following the link anyway.
 * The performers appear in no apparent order, possibly alpha, - it would be good to sort them, conductor last, behind the orchestra, musicians in the order voice (SATB), strings (violin, cello), piano, - perhaps assigning an instrument.
 * I dropped works on the recordings in which she has no part, just are on the same recording. There might be more of those, and the related performers also don't need to be mentioned.
 * For the Haydn Trio, we need only violin and piano, not all performers of that CD.
 * I am not sure that Jarrell is the correct composer.
 * ... and whatever else I overlooked. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:12, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Ref Renamer
Hi, when you edited Mainz with a RefRenamer script, you broke one of the references: <ref name=" "Machtergreifung" 1933" does not work, you need to remove the inner quotation marks. Not sure if that's a bug in RefRenamer. —Kusma (talk) 20:03, 18 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I don't think that this is a bug in RefRenamer. The website isn't "Machtergreifung" 1933. I will fix the website parameter. Grimes2 (talk) 20:09, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm not enthusiastic about renamed references, making them longer, which means having to copy longer strings when using a ref again later. It's different for sfn referencing when the short ref shows openly, but why change ref names that no readers sees? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:20, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I think, a name for a reference should be meaningful. An example is cryptic ref name ="Rng" to ref name="Büning-2013". But sometimes there are longer strings, but I think this is no problem with copy and paste. Yes its cosmetic, but it helps to maintain an article in the future. Grimes2 (talk) 20:58, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I turned to using author names, with a year added only when more than one by the same author. Changing cryptic ones, probably created in haste, is fine. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:10, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, that is what the RefRenamer does. I will take care, that the renamed references are an improvement. Grimes2 (talk) 21:22, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Sebastian Manz
Hallo Grimes2, ich habe den Artikel auf den neuesten Stand gebracht. Bitte sieh ihn dir einmal an und korrigiere, soweit notwendig. - Gisbert ツ (talk)  Illustrate Wikipedia ! 16:16, 30 September 2023 (UTC)


 * ✅ Grimes2 (talk) 17:02, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Vielen Dank, Grimes2, du warst ja wieder einmal sehr gründlich, insbesondere bei der Diskographie. Aber warum hast du diesen Absatz gestrichen, ich halte ihn für wichtig:
 * "In addition to his work with the SWR Symphony Orchestra, Manz performs as a soloist with various other orchestras, not only in Germany, but also in other European countries and occasionally in the USA and Japan. He also performs chamber music works with a number of musical partners at festivals and on other prestigious stages." - Gisbert ツ (talk)  Illustrate Wikipedia !   17:11, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Das ist sehr unspezifisch: Viele Orchester weltweit und Kammermusik. Auf wen trifft das nicht zu. Die Manz webseite als Quelle soltest Du vermeiden. Grimes2 (talk) 17:15, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Manz ist in erster Linie Soloklarinettist im SWR Radio Sinfonieorchester, nicht Solist wie z.B. Sabine Meyer und Martin Fröst (den ich demnächst treffen werde). Daneben, soweit es die Orchestertätigkeit erlaubt, vor allem in den Orchesterferien, tritt er als Solist (mit anderen Orchestern, z.B. in Hamburg mit dem Elbphilharmonieorchester, in Japan mit dortigen Orchestern, die ihn einladen) auf. Darüber hinaus führt er mit einer Reihe musikalischer Partner bei Festspielen und auf anderen renommierten Podien Werke der Kammermusik auf. Es gibt genügend Soloklarinettisten in den verschiedenen Orchestern, die sich auf die Orchestertätigkeit beschränken. Vielleicht bringst du das noch irgendwie in den Text. - Gisbert ツ (talk)  Illustrate Wikipedia !   20:15, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Guten Morgen Grimes2, bitte überprüfe nochmal die Quellenangaben zu den CD-Aufnahmen, die meisten Links gehen nicht. Zu eigenen Websites der Künstler: als Sekundärquellen dürfen sie durchaus verwendet werden, wie ich in einer (deutschen) Richtlinie gelesen habe. Sind sie im englischen WP generell nicht zulässig? - Gisbert ツ (talk)  Illustrate Wikipedia !   05:26, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Guten Morgen, da ist nur die OCLC Nummer angegeben, die zu Worldcat verlinkt. Diese links sollten alle funktionieren. Die eigene Webseite ist eine Primärquelle. Aber viele Sekundärquellen schreiben bei der Künstlerwebseite ab (das ist nicht Sinn der Sache). Grimes2 (talk) 05:32, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Ich habe die Aufrufe noch mal probiert, sie gehen schon, dauert nur etwas länger. - Gisbert ツ (talk)  Illustrate Wikipedia !   05:40, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
