Happy New Year!

I have so much to say to you, Graham. And to 2023 as well. 2023 was the year I started editing. 2023 was the year I found my IP, 67.86.0.108, was blocked, and I created a new account. Now, as my inspirational editor, and as the new year commences, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! The 🏎 Corvette 🏍 ZR1(The Garage) 04:59, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

@The Corvette ZR1: Wow, thanks very much! Graham87 (talk) 05:08, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Same location pictured as 2019. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:06, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

The 2023 picture - a longish lavish Baroque hall with many mirrors and chandeliers, a quartet of musicians left, a small group of listeners right - is from the Abel Fest in Köthen, celebrating the tercentenary of Carl Friedrich Abel, a viol virtuoso, composer and concert organiser in London (together with Bach's youngest son), born on 22 December 1723 in Köthen, where the new catalogue of his works was introduced, - my story today. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:50, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Requests for comment/User conduct

Hello Graham87. Looking at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User conduct/Archive, I found your name in an entry of certification. Because of this I decided to contact you to see if you are still interested in delving in disputes regarding user conduct. I am currently in a dispute with an administrator and if you still are into helping in disputes, I would request your input as part of the dispute resolution process. Regards, Thinker78 (talk) 00:56, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

@Thinker78: Nope, that was a one-off. Graham87 (talk) 02:56, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Hey!

That was my comment you added someone else's IP to. But no biggie, fixed it. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:39, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

@Gråbergs Gråa Sång: Oops, thanks for the fix and the note ... I should've noticed that! Graham87 (talk) 08:42, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you

For this block [1]. I reported them at ANI days ago and got nowhere. Cheers, 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 04:17, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

No worries. Graham87 (talk) 08:09, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Archive box

Thanks, Graham. I like that and it's useful. All the best. Batagur baska (talk) 14:27, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

@Batagur baska: No worries. I found your talk page because you edited the Mike Findlay article, which is on my watchlist. All archives should be linked somehow. Graham87 (talk) 14:29, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

February music

story · music · places

My February image shows just snow at a glance, but looking closer you find the buds of many crocus flowers peeking through it. I saw it on a traditional cemetery in Munich where a family member was buried last year. - My calendar story today is about Michael Herrmann celebrating his birthday. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:16, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Today I am happy about a singer on the Main page (at least for the first hours), after TFA the same day last year. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:27, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Nice, very different from the Stephen Gould I knew about before, but they both died far too young. Also, for when you get a chance to checkI sent you an email; the trip planning is coming along quite nicely! Graham87 (talk) 16:20, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
Sorry that I didn't respond yet to trip planning, and am too tired now. - When I made today's story I was sure Alfred Grosser would appear on RD today, which may happen or not but I go to bed. Tpmorrow Seiji Ozawa, - thank you for your fixes there! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:17, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
Thanks to Seiji Ozawa (and then I had to work on two women due today, and had choir rehearsal ...). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:50, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
... and for Valentine's Day an invitation to the theatre where they first played Elegy for Young Lovers --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:20, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
@Gerda Arendt: You've got mail; the museum replied already! Graham87 (talk) 11:56, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
Thank you! - The image commemorates today, with thanks for their achievements, four subjects mentioned on the Main page and Vami_IV, a friend here. Listen to music by Tchaikovsky (an article where one of the four is pictured), sung by today's subject (whose performance on stage I enjoyed two days ago). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:06, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
Listen to music from Ukraine if you like, - I heard it in 2022, and the November concert (at a different church) raised a truckload of winter clothes. My story today is also from my life: I heard the singer in 3 of the 4 mentioned musical items. I sang in yesterday's. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:34, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
Today's story celebrates a woman's birthday. She sat right in front of me when I took the picture of the long row of performers at a lovely concert, celebrating her son's 60th, - Graham as you may have guessed. I thought she was 90 today, - no, 91 already. You can listen, starting at the piece he dedicated to her, Op. 1. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:57, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Inner Wheel

Hello Graham87, Thank you for your messages and your commitment to Wikipedia's values and code of conduct is in itself very positive and I appreciate it. However, you have overstepped the mark here and, in my view, are abusing your administrator rights. I have complied with the code of conduct in all respects. There is no conflict of interest as I have never been, am not and will never be paid by anyone in any form.

The text I have posted provides information about a globally active non-profit women's organisation with observer status in the UN.

I very much hope that this is not a case of discrimination against women. However, your reaction and your message suggest this.

You write that I am probably not suitable to write on Wikipedia. I take this as an insulting disparagement, and it is a serious breach of Wikipedia etiquette.

I am very surprised that you are taking advantage of your status as an administrator on Wikipedia to access my private e-mail address and even send me a message about it (and suppressing your own e-mail address in the process). I expressly ask you to refrain from doing this.

Your reference to the Chicxulub crater points in the direction of a climate change denier. In my view, this makes you unsuitable to work as an administrator.

I have labelled the passage you referred to as a quote.

DoReBe (talk) 10:37, 5 February 2024 (UTC)


1 It is common for NGOs to quote from their own material. In the cases I am aware of, these citations account round about for 75% of the comments. It is incomprehensible why this should be different here. So far you have failed to provide evidence that the article contains advertising and where. I therefore request that you do not delete my article again until you have provided this proof.

2. Your political views are your business. But Wikipedia is not the place to steer other users along extreme views. Stop it!

3. In my post of 10.37 UTC I forbade you to use my private email account to write to me anonymously or under your own email adress. I then received further emails of the same kind from you in the same way at 10.44, 10.45 and 11.20 UTC. In my country we call this cyber stalking and it is a crime. In your country it is the same. Despite my ban, you continue to use your position as admin to harass me in this way.

DoReBe (talk) 15:50, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Happy First Edit Day!

Thanks

Thanks for your work on Wikipedia! And thanks for the thanks you gave me for Special:diff/1208187889. I wasn't quite sure if you'd approve of the change. I thought "Maybe he's having fun reviewing those misplaced entries." Happy Editing! RainerBlome (talk) 17:04, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

@RainerBlome: No worries. The less maintenance, the better. :-) Graham87 (talk) 04:33, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Editor experience invitation

Hi Graham87 :) I'm looking for people to interview here. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 09:39, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

@Clovermoss: It's a really cool page ... I already wrote on it back in December! (Would you have a problem moving the above-linked archive page to use an en dash, per normal Wikipedia conventions, or would you mind if I did it?) Graham87 (talk) 09:45, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
I don't mind you moving the page. As for the double asking... sigh, I knew I was going to accidently do that sometime. It was inevitable. I was trying to avoid it, though. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 09:48, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
@Clovermoss: No worries, these things happen. I've moved it. Graham87 (talk) 09:50, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Graham87,

Please leave a redirect when you move or merge pages. Not doing so left 5 broken redirect pages. This is especially true for older articles that tend to accumulate redirects over the years. Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 08:46, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

You also need to merge talk pages as we have Talk:Mike Rowe. Liz Read! Talk! 08:48, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
@Liz: I normally would, but not in cases like this ... the histories of two articles have been stuck together in one and leaving a redirect behind would've caused potentially odd double redirects which could have been even worse. Also, I don't need to merge talk pages; I'm still cleaning things up and can explain more when I'm finished. Graham87 (talk) 08:49, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
@Liz: All fixed, including Wikidata and your accompanying edits. The Mike Rowe article (which is now about a TV host) originally contained text which was moved by cut-and-paste to Microsoft v. MikeRoweSoft. Subsequent deletions and unddeletions made a mess of the history but I've got everything sorted. Graham87 (talk) 09:44, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

I listen to Bach's St John Passion today, - 300 years after it was first performed. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:54, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Last night I happened to be listening to Bach's Mass in B minor (from the Netherlands Bach Society) in full for the first time. Both that work and the St. John Passion have final choruses that are ... beyond words to describe their beauty, in very different ways. Graham87 (talk) 03:24, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
You said that well. I sang both when I was young, and felt the same. The music carries things that can not be expressed in words. My last chance for the Passion was long ago (deemed too difficult), but the Mass was in 2013, feels like yesterday, and a friend (with whom I had sung it there, having promised to fly in when they did it, and keeping that, twice, failed the third request though ...) flew in from the US to sing with us. I stood behind the keyboardist who played from memory during the performance, having a manuscripts in Bach's hand on the organ stand for inspiration. Pictured in the mass article ;) - imagine the semi-circles of performers from my position in the altos' last row, - harpsichord and little organ at a 90° angle to his turning chair on the left (my side), the timpani in the centre, the trumpets right, all playing full power as in the last plea Dona nobis pacem. Very close to my heart. (The image is from the dress rehearsal though, no manuscript yet. Sharing this with Nikkimaria also.) Brianboulton gave me a thorough PR of the article, one of the great gifts I received here. The talks In Freundschaft with Jerome Kohl were another. That's why the two keep being mentioned on my talk.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:43, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Two days later in time, a different music, - Happy Easter! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:06, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Trying to find some old logos

Hey Graham, hope you're well! I'm trying to find some of the submissions to the logo contest that took place in 2001. I'm specifically looking for the humorous logos. Four of them are available on this page but the first 24 aren't there. Any chance there's a way to find them? Not sure if this is something that's up your alley, or even possible, but I figured I'd ask. Thanks for all you do! I love the Wikipedia Records. Crunchydillpickle🥒 (talk) 04:31, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

@Crunchydillpickle: Hey ... I've never really examined that page at all (for fairly obvious reasons, since I can't see the logos), but on a quick read and check of the relevant page histories it seems like submissions 1–24 were just the serious ones and are indeed still around. Also see this edit. Graham87 (talk) 04:43, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

@Paytonisboss: I assume you're referring to your conversation with Annh07 at User talk:Annh07/Archives/2024/March#Carter G. Woodson Middle School new page request. That does not constitute official permission and there's no way to get it here. Long-standing consensus here is that middle schools just don't have articles and that's that.

There has been a weird trend of spam edits on Islamic State insurgency in Iraq (2017–present) where they dramatically raise the casualties of iraq and lower the one of ISIS.

Hello Graham

How are you doing today ?. You put a block on IP'S range 80.233.62.73. I noticed all the edits were related to Slovenian football and other edits that I never had any part of.

@Redrose64: Yeah there's that ... and the replies I posted at both the IP's talk pages (I generally like to reply to IP's on *their* talk pages so I can make sure they get the message). I should have noted that's what I was doing here. I used to like splitting up *all* conversations on the recipients' talk pages, but that's not the way it's done these days.

April music

story · music · places

I like to see Appalachian Spring on the Main page today (not by me, just interested and reviewed), and I also made it my story. - My April image is mostly green, mostly a grassy meadow, forest further up the hills in the background. The meadow is dotted in the foreground and to the right with small flowers called Himmelsschlüssel in German, keys to heaven, for their key-like shape. - I show the statue you can touch 3 times (look up places). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:37, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

The statue is of Hildegard of Bingen, and as it happens, her Physica is on the Main page today, and Marian Anderson as my top story (by NBC, 1939), and below (on my talk) three people with raised arms (a player in the rock band with the "rock abbot, a large wooden sculpture of Jesus behind a church altar made by handicapped people, and the conductor of the Youth Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine, - and the place is the cherry blossom in Frauenstein --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:01, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Wow, a historic moment if there ever was one! Another great recording Anderson made is this one of "Crucifixion" (more commonly known as "He Never Said a Mumblin' Word"), which I added to its Wikipedia article after hearing it on an ABC Classic program and being very much moved by it. It has interesting parallels with the St. Matthew Passion, which I'll be hearing in Leipzig, and the St. John Passion, which ABC Classic celebrated as well. Graham87 (talk) 15:29, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
I agree about the historic relevance - did you listen to the whole broadcast? - I saw it last year in our OTD section when it was on Easter Sunday, as in 1939, and thank goodness they ignored for this time the rule not to have an item twice in row. - I listened to the St John Passion twice on Good Friday, the lonely one from 2020 with Benedikt Kristjánsson broadcast live from Bach's grave, and The RIAS Kammerchor 2024 version, both impressive. Can't yet believe that the tenor will sing with us on 5 May! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:41, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
@Gerda Arendt: I am now. The second half (with the spirituals) has just started. The way she sings and her diction are incredible. Yay re the tenor ... the evangelist part in both passions sounds very challenging indeed. Graham87 (talk) 15:46, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
Oh, the spiritual was the last song on that recording ... I spoke too soon! Anyway, I should be off to bed shortly ... Graham87 (talk) 15:50, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
I stopped to listen to this from Kristjánsson that you linked ... wow, what a voice! You are indeed very lucky to have him perform with you! The instrumentation is haunting and strangely apt ... though it took me a bit to get used to. Unusual instrumentation for very unusual times. Graham87 (talk) 15:59, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Wow ... what a cantata ... not just the opening chorus but all of the movements. It must be a treat to sing. I love Bach's pastoral music! Graham87 (talk) 04:32, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
Thank you - that's what I feel! - relief: the last of six RD articles in one week is now on the Main page - yesterday a great recital with many anti-war songs by Jewish composers whose music was banned by the Nazis. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:22, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

British Asian musicians

Hi @Graham87, was there a British Asian musicians category that you deleted (if so, why?), or was it merely a redlink? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 14:31, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

@Revirvlkodlaku: Yes, there was; I deleted it because the user who created it and made similar edits, Ludramon, is clearly up to no good (i.e. is probably some sort of sockpuppet). No new user would make edits like they did. Sometimes it's good to ignore all rules. Graham87 (talk) 14:35, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
I'm not sure how ignoring rules plays into this. Why delete a category if it may provide value, simply based on the nature of the editor who created it? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 14:36, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
@Revirvlkodlaku: If an editor's entire contribution history consists of un-nuanced categorisation, it's safe to delete the whole lot. I don't think the category would provide much value ... I can easily find an article and several categories about British Black music but not so much for British Asian music, whatever that might be, especially considering that British Asians constitute a wide variety of peoples with a wide variety of music traditions. Graham87 (talk) 14:44, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

English on "Culture of Australia"

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan, use the variety of English used there

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours.

Someone else changed it to American English, and I changed it back to Australian English, and you decided to comment on my page as if I did something wrong... yeah, cause that makes sense....

It was not "unsourced or poorly sourced content"

Hi Graham,

You wrote on my talk page that I added "unsourced or poorly sourced content" to NationsBank when the reference is right here: https://www.nytimes.com/1998/04/14/news/14iht-banks.t_0.html

and was stated on the main article too. Use ctrl + f on Bank of America and type "October 1998".

I am deeply offended by the abruptness and bluntness of your message, specifically the part where you threaten to block me. Anything I edit has always been in good faith. I do not get paid for my work on this website and I do the highest amount of research to make articles better. I am a volunteer. Please respect the time that I put into this website. Have a good day.
