Thank you for fixing the image licenses! Would you have time for lilypond of BWV 101:7? - turning 300 tomorrow Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:33, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

- Lovely, taken, will nominate for GA! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:05, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- Today I have two "musicians" on the Main page, one is also the topic of my story, watch and listen! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:18, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- ... and a third, like 22 July but with interview and the music to be played today --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:19, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- A bit late: the hymn for this Sunday ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:33, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- On 13 August, Bach's cantata was 300 years old, and the image one. It's nice to have not only a recent death, but also this "birthday" on the Main page. And a rainbow in my places. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:50, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- Sunday story about another of Bach's chorale cantatas, listen, as I listened to two impressive very different choral concerts, - music by 16 composers. In the latest cloudy pictures: a hidden deer, a cat and a blaze of a sunset. - A Lilypnd version of the closing chorale would be nice, of course, link under Dahn in the article. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:06, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

- taken with pleasure! - Help? My story today is about a woman, nominated for RD but needing support as I write this. A composer died whose article is long and mostly unreferenced. And some articles open for review, always. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:43, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- I logged on too late to react to this, but luckily it looks like it made it! DanCherek (talk) 01:18, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
Question from Auberydude (08:01, 27 August 2024)
Hi Dan - I only just noticed you had been assigned my mentor. Thanks for the note! I am more of technological guru (in the video space) but in my spare time i like to write film scripts.
Mark. --Auberydude (talk) 08:01, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hey Mark, nice to meet you! Interesting stuff. Feel free to stop by here any time you have any questions about editing Wikipedia. DanCherek (talk) 01:19, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
Question from Dr.Decapod (23:17, 31 August 2024)
Hello! I have question, I put hours of time and resources into fixing an old article up and someone keeps changing it based on their personal opinion and beliefs. I cite info and they remove it. What is the correct way to deal with this? --Dr.Decapod (talk) 23:17, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hi there. Wikipedia:Dispute resolution has more information about the best ways to deal with a situation like this. Essentially, discussing it with the other editor on the talk page of the article is best, and trying to reach a consensus that way. If there continues to be disagreements, then there are more ways to resolve content disputes (such as requesting a third opinion or trying the dispute resolution noticeboard), but these will typically require that a discussion has taken place on the talk page first.

RFA2024 update: Discussion-only period now open for review
Hi there! The trial of the RfA discussion-only period passed at WP:RFA2024 has concluded, and after open discussion, the RfC is now considering whether to retain, modify, or discontinue it. You are invited to participate at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase II/Discussion-only period. Cheers, and happy editing! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 09:38, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
Hello @DanCherek! I am experiencing an issue on Queen of Sheba page. I have invested significant time and effort in improving the article, providing substantial citations and engaging in respectful discussions. One editor keeps reverting changes based on their personal opinion, without offering valid reasons or engaging in constructive dialogue. They are private messaging me threats, which is unacceptable behavior on Wikipedia.
I believe my edits are in line with Wikipedia's guidelines and contribute to overall quality of the article. I am open to discussing different perspectives and finding common ground, but I am concerned that this editor is unwilling to engage in a productive conversation. What is the correct way to deal with this?

What do you think of my short version of the life of Alexander Goehr? Our DYK team would probably want to mention that he worked in a training kibbutz, while I was happy to include a link to an article by Brian Boulton, - we sang the Monteverdi Vespers on 1 September 2019. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:31, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
ps: next cantata Jesu, der du meine Seele, BWV 78, last movement, I trust that you'll find it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:33, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
BWV 78.7

- Getting better at finding it! Happy September. DanCherek (talk) 23:19, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you so much! It's always the same site, you need the BWV no. (4 digits, leading zeros) and the movement number (and for most it should by now be among the external links. I corrected the German in the penultimate word, "ß".--Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:03, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Yes I just look for it in the external links DanCherek (talk) 23:40, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! - Today's story has 3 composers, I couldn't decide for the one on the Main page or the one who didn't make it on his bicentenary, so took both, and the pic has a third. Listen if you have a bit of time. The music, played by the Kyiv Symphony Orchestra in Germany in April 2022 impressed me. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:32, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- Recommended reading today: Frye Fire, by sadly missed Vami_IV. Next chorale from Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan, BWV 99. It's already a ref ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:02, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- Happy because my story today is about a Czech mezzo soprano who is mentioned on the Main page on her birthday. --Gerda Arendt (talk)
- Happier about Bach's cantata on the Main page on its 300th birthday (per calendar), my story (again)! ... with you Lilypond, also in the new article about the hymn ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:27, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- Yay! Will get to BWV 99 when I can (maybe tomorrow). DanCherek (talk) 02:52, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- Great! If you have time for only one until Sunday, I'd prefer BWV 8, - the other can wait until Tuesday, calendar date of it's first performance - while Bach and I go by liturgy ;) - always 9 days off this anniversary year --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:56, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- Three stories related to today in memory, 11 September, 20 July and 20 June, the latter piece of art also pictured on the Main page. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:07, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hmm, the separate lyric lines for the different voices might be tricky... DanCherek (talk) 01:07, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- I can't tell if the little notes are supposed to be regular notes (bass, measure 4?), grace notes (soprano, measure 12?), or ossia (bass, measure 5?) DanCherek (talk) 01:26, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Also what is going on with the little note in the bass part in the first measure? DanCherek (talk) 01:39, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Lilypond for BWV 99.6 since I'm stuck on the other one. DanCherek (talk) 03:09, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
BWV 99.6

Thank you! I added a bit speed. Can the last note somehow sound a bit longer? - I'll move, prepare some food and be back for the other. One thing upfront: have text only for the soprano. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:47, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Try this: Special:Diff/1245435164. DanCherek (talk) 00:07, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- (Adjusted the tempos to simulate the fermatas, feel free to adjust further as you like.) DanCherek (talk) 00:07, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
I looked at that score. I was prepared by reading some of the article for a new kind of melody, in a setting that Bach took from some Mr. Vetter. I haven't listened, so don't know if the small notes in the bass are perhaps instrumental music of interludes. I'd ignore them. The little soprano thingy looks like a grace not, - take if not too complicated. IMSLP has a (19th-century) score that could be consulted. The article has a manuscript of what Bach took it from, File:Daniel Vetter Liebster Gott 91-92 1713.jpeg, but Bach changed, I read. No little notes in the bass. The soprano is different. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:56, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- How's this? DanCherek (talk) 00:29, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
BWV 8.6

Oh how lovely and different! Is there a way od making that grace note a long one (half the length of the note it precedes), as usual in Baroque and Classic? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:59, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, by creating separate scores for the layout and for the MIDI playback. See the new version above. (This is also how we could tell it to actually play back the repeated part, let me know if you want that.) DanCherek (talk) 23:20, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- Good to know! Yes please for repeat. - I am happy to have brought a choral conductor to DYK! Good video about his work for La Juive on my talk, - best announcemen: "Everybody as soft as possible". It's so nice to see the singers actually look at him (or the camera). That's what we should do tonight in concert ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:13, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
- Done, above. DanCherek (talk) 03:57, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Today is Schoenberg's 150th birthday! On display, portrayed by Egon Schiele, with music from Moses und Aron, and with two DYK hooks, one from 2010 and another from 2014; the latter, about his 40th birthday, appeared on his 140th birthday, which made me happy then and now again. - See places for a stunning sunrise, on the day Bruckner's 200th birthday was celebrated (just a few days late). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:37, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
My story today is about a man who played jazz when it was banned by the Nazis, - you can listen to how they played it later. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:32, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
Ach, lieben Christen, seid getrost, BWV 114, is one of the pieces in my topic of this year. This time it's movement 7. And if you have more time: Herr Gott, dich loben alle wir, BWV 130 is coming next. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:08, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
My story today features a pic I took from my position in the choir, I can also offer varied delightful music, some from Venice, also with pics I took, - note the rose in the clarinet ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:58, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you - need to jump! later ... - did he even set the second verse? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:05, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- What do you mean? DanCherek (talk) 12:07, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- Oh nevermind, just saw that part in the article! :) DanCherek (talk) 12:08, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- he struck verse 12 from the score --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:25, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- Should we remove it from the lilypond? DanCherek (talk) 00:45, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
- I did that. Special thanks for doing the instruments! Whenever you are up to one more: Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ, BWV 91, for Christmas, and also seems to have instrumental parts, for horns. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:01, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! It's my story today. Will look at BWV 115 next. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:22, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
Thank you, taken with one added letter for the German. - My story is about a composer and choir conductor, listen to his Lamento. - My story on 13 October was about a Bach cantata. As this place works, it's on the Main page now because of the date (but Bach wrote it for the 20th Sunday, not the Tuesday after the 21st Sunday after Trinity). I sort of like it because today is the birth date of my grandfather who loved and grew dahlias like those pictured. ----Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:01, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
Last wish this month: Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott, BWV 80, [5]. I neglected it because it was not composed in 1724, but it still fits the topic ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:46, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
