Gerda, if I can ask a favor, I'd appreciate your input. I am going to start work on closing this RfC today. It concerns Wikidata fields in infoboxes.

I miss a precise description of what I'd vote for it I vote "opt-in", and what "opt-out", and think RexxS left sensible comments about nothing should be too automatic. (I hope I will not get complaints about offending all other contributors to the discussion by mentioning that I find his comments sensible. Saw such a thing ...) I think we make no mistake offering content from our infoboxes to Wikidata, to be used by the rest of languages. (Is that meant by "opt-out"?) I think some people will scream if we place anything in infoboxes of the English Misplaced Pages, beginning with creating them, be it from Wikidata or other sources. In cases when Wikidata has more information, how about an infobox suggestion on the article talk instead? Leaving a choice to the editor(s) of the article? - Enough said, I try to stay away from certain discussions ;) --] (]) 16:04, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

== Appeal of decisions ==

Regarding : as I , I feel it is unfair to sanctioned editors to preempt their plans to decide if or when they wish to appeal. A badly-worded request from a poor advocate can ruin the opportunity for receiving due consideration of an appeal. As the ones who have to live with the consequences, sanctioned editors should remain in control of any appeal. This can include deferring to someone else to make the request, but it ought to be done with full approval and support of the editor in question. ] (]) 03:57, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

: That's all right. In the case of someone who is too proud to appeal a sanction that was <s>nonsense</s> ] from the beginning, and has no plan to ever appeal, it's a bit different. I was too proud myself for years, so knew the feeling. I have no plans to do it again, but feel that ] was my greatest success here. --] (]) 05:29, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
::As long as they approve of the appeal, I don't think there is an issue. However if someone doesn't wish any appeal to take place, then I believe their wishes should be respected. ] (]) 12:27, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
::: In my case, had I asked, Andy would have said no. He thought that I was crazy and had no chance ;) --] (]) 17:05, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
:::: Personally, if I were in that situation, I'd be upset at my desire being ignored. Contrary to your statement that there's not much to lose, there's community goodwill that is used up, and the opening of old wounds, and I feel it would be my prerogative to decide if the potential benefit outweighed the costs. Naturally each specific case has its own circumstances; nonetheless, I don't think it's good general advice for editors to start appeals without explicit approval from the sanctioned editor. ] (]) 01:37, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

I don't know the appropriate Misplaced Pages etiquette for thanking you for the gift of 'Precious' on my talk page for the minimal part I played on ] and also for 'adding tradition to London history' - but thank you anyway! I haven't contributed much to Misplaced Pages recently - I'm certainly not going to get involved in any edit wars over Man in the Moone!

Unfortunately many of my fellow citizens have just taken leave of their senses and decided to abdicate from the international community (EU Referendum for those who don't get the reference). It seems that Little Englanders distrust expertise and don't really like the idea of 'knowledge' at all. They'll be banning Misplaced Pages here soon, since it encourages cooperation with 'foreigners' (do you know the old cartoon that appeared in ''Punch'' in the 19th century? - two Cockneys - 'Look, here comes a foreigner, Bill - chuck half a brick at him!').

happy new year

On 1 January 1725
J. S. Bach led the first performance
of his chorale cantata
Jesu, nun sei gepreiset, BWV 41,
which features the same trumpet fanfares
in the closing chorale
as in the opening chorale fantasia.

Die Fliege

We move from 2024 to 2025, with new calendar pictures and new music. The topic of Bach's chorale cantatas will keep me busy until 25 March, and then I want to focus on performances more generally, in history and in my experience. You can follow my daily stories, {{User Gerda Arendt/Top}}, often with an image and something to listen to: let's stay inspired and connected. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:57, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

#call for collaboration points at issues where I need help, such as reviews. Ongoing efforts regard locations that played a role in my life, recent deaths, music heard and sung, composers, gardens. Watch my user page for articles, done in collaboration. Compare 2024 for the amazing number of users who began and expanded articles. Thanks also to reviewers, and I do plan to review more and write less, and in writing, focus more on quality than the little daily article.

2025 calender pics and musical events begin here, and the 2025 diary of my own pictures of places, songs, food, flowers ... will come here, - just watch those lists if you are interested.

My talk goes like this: on top there's the "story" related to the day. Below are three or more boxes, often one for people remembered and others for musical experiences, performing or listening. In these boxes, topics related to the top story and topics featured on the Main page appear bold. Right here you see the image of the month with songs of the month, typically related to meetings with friends who gave them to me. I archive from time. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:25, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben, BWV 8

The article Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben, BWV 8 you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben, BWV 8 and Talk:Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben, BWV 8/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Aza24 -- Aza24 (talk) 00:24, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Aza24, thank you for the thorough review. I understand that in order to make Bach's chorale cantatas a good topic, this cantata - as part of it - has to be a good article, and I am willing to put work into it to make it so. However, right now I'm working simultaneously on several others with the same goal, and they require less work. I see me getting to serious changes for BWV 8 after the others, which will be in February. (The only one written later, BWV 1, is already a FA.) I'll make small changes now, perhaps today, but will then have to ask if the nom should remain open for longer or be closed and started over when I'm ready. Y'all: any help with this one and the others - making changes or reviewing - is welcome, see above, #calling for collaboration. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:06, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Draft:William Owen (composer)

Gerda, I was asked to help on this because it failed draft review. I added a few sources, but thought maybe you would like to take this on as it is about a hymn composer. Best.4meter4 (talk) 03:57, 29 December 2024 (UTC

I am interested, and thank you for thinking of me, but I have a few things I want to handle first, - just look above. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:57, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
