On the main page today, 300 years after its first performance, Bach's cantata BWV 125, - a lovely very intimate piece, with peace and joy in the title. Enjoy listening with score - I discovered that only now! - Today is also the birthday of James Joyce, who has an article by many authors. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:05, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
My story torday is about an actor who played in almost every German TV series and in internal cinema. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:43, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
food pictured --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:26, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you! I know some others have been helping with score transcriptions recently, do you have any outstanding that you want to see? DanCherek (talk) 23:24, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
- 3 and 111? DanCherek (talk) 23:25, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

- Thank you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:10, 8 February 2025 (UTC)
- There's also BWV 125 from the beginning of the thread ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:12, 8 February 2025 (UTC)
- today: a German-born Spanish art collector, -the video in her honour is remarkable, as what she gave the world. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:30, 8 February 2025 (UTC)
- I find today's birthday child particularly inspiring, by enthusiasm and determination. That was - believe it or not - a pictured DYK in 2021, without the last line though. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:53, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

lovely! - BWV 139 is under GA review. - Today's story is about Edith Mathis, who portrayed young women by Mozart. The video of a 1993 interview has videos of her performances. - I saw my brother on stage, - see places. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:29, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
Look at places also for Valentine's food and flowers ;) - with a story, and more music there --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:57, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

- Thank you!! DanCherek (talk) 05:45, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- Working on the last of the Bach chorale cantatas that needs improvement, BWV 127. One to follow, #1, but that is already FA. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:35, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

- New month: today is the birthday of Chopin and Ricardo Kanji, see my stories of today and yesterday, with dream music by the first and Bach played by the other. - For transcriptions: perhaps begin with the last which is for tomorrow. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:49, 1 March 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for 127, great timing! My story today, of course. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:00, 2 March 2025 (UTC)
- Wow, also 139! - Today: Carmen turns 150, as the main page and my story tell you. I chose a 1962 concert of the Habanera, - enjoy! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:03, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
- On Ravel's birthday, we also think of a conductor and five more composers ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:45, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
- Today Rossini's latest "sin", as the main page has --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:09, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
- Today I could have written five stories off the main page, and chose Sofia Gubaidulina. I find the TFA also interesting, and two DYK, and a birthday OTD. How about you? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:46, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- Gubaidulina – love her Offertorium! I didn't know she died, so sad to see that. DanCherek (talk) 22:15, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you - feel the same. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:30, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

Copyvio problem
Hello, DanCherek. I have identified this as a copyright violation. Could you please remove it? Thanks.–𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 02:18, 6 April 2025 (UTC) Check this link.–𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 02:21, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hey Owais Al Qarni, thanks for removing that from the article, that was a good move. I'm not sure it needs to be revision-deleted, because of a combination of a couple factors: (1) it was excessively long for a quote, yes, but it was still clearly delineated as a quote; (2) revdel would hide the entire edit history of the article in this case.

My story is about music that Bach and Picander gave the world 300 years (and 19 days) ago, - listen (on the conductor's birthday) - no chorale --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:45, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
The next cantata made it to the main page, - listen ;) - room for lilypond --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:41, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
I finally managed to upload the pics I meant for Easter, see places. - Also finally, I managed a FAC, Easter Oratorio. I wanted that on the main page for Easter Sunday, but no, twice. You are invited to join a discussion about what "On this day" means, day or date. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:47, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
- Happy Easter! DanCherek (talk) 03:16, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
- Also to you! Perhaps the Easter Oratorio can appear in 2026, once the 300th anniversary was not reason enough ;) - BWV 42 is for tomorrow, - any chance for the lilypond upgrade? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:22, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

Interface administrator changes
- Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
- An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
- An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2025 to reduce the backlog of articles in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!
Nominating The House of Asterion for FA status
Hi Dan, I hope you're enjoying Japan!
I’ve been reviewing The House of Asterion and am impressed by the article’s quality. I believe it may be ready for a FA nomination and would like to propose it at FAC. Since it's my first FA nomination and I haven’t contributed significantly to the article's development, I wanted to check in with you first to see what you think and if you'd like to be involved in the nomination.
Thanks! Mooonswimmer 10:37, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Mooonswimmer, thanks for the kind message. Currently on my phone at the airport, so let me write you an actual reply within the next day, just didn’t want you to think I had missed this. (My answer will almost certainly be “go for it” but I will think to see if there’s anything else I thought the article was lacking.) DanCherek (talk) 23:26, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
