Thank you for an interesting bio! Sad that it didn't stay long. Same for the lead pic in the news ... --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:32, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

:Thanks {{u|Gerda Arendt}}, happy to know you liked this, too. Next, there will be a DYK on Marie Marcks. ;) Munfarid1 (talk) 05:32, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

:: Good to know, let me know when you nominate, I like to review women's bios! - Do you really need two archive boxes on this page? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:59, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

:::{{u|Gerda Arendt}}, it's already been nominated and should be somewhere in the prep area. - But next time, when I nominate a DYK of a women's bio, I will let you know. - Also thanks for the unnecessary double archive boxes. (It was my first try to use this, and I have just corrected this.) Munfarid1 (talk) 06:11, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

:::: Thank you, - if "she" still needs a review when I'll need a qpq I'll do it. I found DYK too time-consuming, and turned more towards the RD section of In the news, nominations at WP:ITNN. Reviewing is much easier there: Is the article substantial enough, and is it fully referenced? That's all. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:39, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

:::: Regarding East Germany: I accept it for sports people and politicians, but for others, the pipe or simply "Germany" seems better. It's a sloppy term, to be avoided if possible. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:34, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

:::::Hmm, I thought we have to name the state where someone was born. And according to one of her interviews, this influenced her childhood and artistic development. Munfarid1 (talk) 19:22, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

:::::: But East Germany is no state, German Democratic Republic was the state. Also: we don't have to name the state. Look at Mozart, and the many times it has been reverted. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:19, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

:::::: Happy whatever you celebrate today, - more who died, more to come, and they made the world richer. Greetings from Madrid where I took the pic of assorted Cucurbita in 2016. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:18, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

:::::::@Gerda Arendt Thank you for this pleasant surprise! If you don't know the chappel where Goya is buried, I suggest a visit to San Antonio de la Florida. And also the Colecciones Reales near the Royal Palace. Have a great day Munfarid1 (talk) 08:20, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for an interesting bio, also featured - pictured - on Portal:Germany! Thank you for the recommendations above, I saw the galleries now, and the chapel on a previous visit, - both exactly the things I like to see. Teresina next, and I know nothing (but that a friend lives there). --

:: Glad you liked the collections, and thanks for putting this DYK on the portal. - I wasn't aware of this up to now!

::: Enjoy your trip and new discoveries.

:::: I will, but this trip was over yesterday. Pics to come, some are already where the music plays, the one of the concert hall not by me, - I sat left above the choir, was afraid I wouldn't hear them but was wrong ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:43, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

:::: first Madrid pics -- (forgot to sign)

:::: more Madrid pics, including the galleries! - For a surprise, a Bach cantata is on the Main page today, where it was last year for the 300th anniversary, and they were too lazy to find something new ;) - Look at my story, and listen to the 3 whole-tone steps and the dialogues of Fear and Hope. - An open letter open to be signed (more info on the talk), - I haven't checked if you did, please ignore then. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:36, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

:::: I uploaded more pics, on a mountain in the sun above the fog. - Madeleine Riffaud - remember. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:28, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

:::: I uploaded pics of a trip that was a 10-day celebration of a 16 November event, but the day was also when a dear friend died. We sang Hevenu shalom aleichem at his funeral yesterday, and it was good. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:34, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

Listen today to Beethoven's 3rd cello sonata, on his birthday - it was a hook in the 2020 DYK set when his 250th birthday was remembered. I picked a recording with Antônio Meneses, because he was on my sad list this year, and I was in Brazil (see places), and I love his playing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:06, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

I come to fix the cellist's name, with a 10-years-old DYK and new pics - look for red birds --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:56, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Happy new year 2025, opened with trumpet fanfares that first sounded OTD in 1725 (as the Main page had). Thank you for your cello recommendation! - My story today is about a composer who influenced music history also by writing. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:55, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

:: ... and today, pictured on the Main page, Tosca, in memory of her first appearance on stage OTD in 1900, and of principal author Brian Boulton. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:45, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

:: Today I had a composer (trumpeter, conductor) on the main page who worked closely with another who just became GA, - small world! To celebrate: mostly flowers pics from vacation ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:22, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

:: I have more vacation pics to offer, and today's story of Werner Bardenhewer. I took the pic, and it was my DYK on his 90th birthday, in both English and German. He spent the day in Africa, and after his return said - chatting after a mass of thanks he celebrated at Mariä Heimsuchung - that we'd have to talk about these articles. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:46, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
