Suggestion for a female scientist worthy of a Wiki article
Hi, Mary. You are well known for highlighting women in science in these hallowed halls of Wikipedia. I don't know if you're still working in this area, but if so I'd like to suggest you consider writing an article about Sheila Hobbs DeWitt PhD. (LinkedIn) Sheila is a chemist who has made seminal contributions in the fields of combinatorial chemistry and the use of deuterium in drug discovery. Thank you for your consideration. Don't hesitate to let me know if I can be of use in this regard. Tony AWCzarnik (talk) 22:37, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Always precious
Ten years ago, you were found precious. That's what you are, always. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:24, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for a pleasant DYK review. You have probably no idea what a relief it is to receive such an unusual gift! Click on music for a particularly interesting set of three today - it changes almost daily. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:46, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

To give you an idea what I usually get, check out the nom for Liviu Holender. Three reviewers are unable to approve a hook, and wait for an independent reviewer. Perhaps you could even by the one ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:51, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

May music
Thank you again for the particularly lovely DYK review for Magdalena Hinterdobler who is on the Main page today, together with the opera that your colleagues deemed not interesting and too obscure for our general readers. The soprano thought differently, - listen and see. - One of the pieces in our recent uplifting choral concert was Bach's Ascension Oratorio, - perhaps watch a bit how the closing movement was performed in Bach's church. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:58, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

did you listen and see the soprano? - today's story has a pic of a woman holding her cat, a DYK of 5 years ago - the recent pics show 2 orange tip butterflies --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:03, 14 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Yes, lovely voice. Thank you for the smiles. Maybe some April fool's day we can do all cat-related images and hooks ;-) Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 16:04, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I didn't smile when she was nominated for deletion but the discussion seems not to go exactly as designed ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:10, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Today's story mentions a concert I loved to hear and a piece I loved to sing in choir, 150 years old OTD. - Hinterdobler's colleague, as you will have seen. She'll get her recital next Tuesday. I am actually happier with the hook for him that you approved than the one I proposed, - I would not have dared to suggest links to 5 composers ;) - Dealing with Verdi's Requiem about all day yesterday to make it fit for the Main page kept me away from her article, but eventually I'll get there, using the sources better that you provided! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:06, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Good to see Olga Lander on the Main page! - 29 May 1913: The Rite of Spring - today's story, actually something I saw at that place in a revival. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:03, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Today's story is about Samuel Kummer, one of five items on the Main page - more musing on my talk --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:26, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

June music
Franz Kafka died 100 years ago OTD, hence the story. I uploaded a few pics from the visit of Graham87. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:33, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Today's story is about an extraordinary biography, Peter Demetz. - I uploaded a few more pics but leave the link, because there's a new one of Graham and his mother who liked it. - What do you think of my DYK nom for Daniela Kerck? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:11, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Today I wanted to write a happy song story, on a friend's birthday, but instead we have the word of thunder on top of it, which would have been better on 2 June, this year's first Sunday after Trinity. The new lilypond - thanks to DanCherek - is quite impressive. As my 2 Jun story said: Bach was fired up. - Today's Main page is rich in music, also Franz Liszt and a conductor. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:19, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Today is "the day" for James Joyce, also for Bach's fourth chorale cantata (and why does it come before the third?) - the new pics have a mammal I had to look up --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:14, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

New pics of food and flowers come with the story of Noye's Fludde (premiered on 18 June), written by Brian Boulton. I nominated Éric Tappy because he died, and it needs support today! I nominated another women for GA in the Women in Green June run, - review welcome, and more noms planned. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:41, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
PS: If you are interested in designers, there are many, many articles in WikiProject Industrial design that would benefit from your skills! One that comes to mind (and to which I've made some contributions already) is Cini Boeri. It is quite a mess as is, alas. Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 12:23, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
