November music

Thank you for helping an editor new to the surprise that infoboxes can be regarded as not helpful to understand! - 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) 21:47, 30 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Little boxes seem so unimportant in the context. Thank you for your steady support for accessibility. Perhaps it's about time to ask on project composers if the 2010 RfC is what the community thinks now. I'd do it if my name wouldn't cause people to just look at who said something, instead of what (see Barbirolli, Rimsky, Mahler). I see you better prepared than those who noticed the garden of a few FAs by a few editors this year ;) - Anton Webern's birthday today, Aaron Copland's yesterday, with that remarkable 2020 conversation still on the talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:23, 3 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Nah, I've wasted enough time on that silly subject. I'll help new editors when they wander in the swamp, but the whole thing kind of reminds me of the Japanese stragglers who hid out in the jungle for decades unconvinced the war was over. There's not enough of these type of articles left to justify burning editor time creating more policy for the Colonel Kilgore types. I'm happy to comment in RFCs when they come up and steer towards consensus. I suggest you let it go as well. Nemov (talk) 12:57, 3 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

You are right, and it's more or less what do, - both Mahler and Rimsky meant only helping newcomers. - On the Main page today: Jean Sibelius on his birthday. Listening to Beethoven's Fifth from the opening of Notre-Dame de Paris. The 2018 discussion is still on the talk that saw Sibelius playing in one league with Beethoven ;) - We sang in choirs today. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:32, 8 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

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) 16:55, 16 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

I come to fix the cellist's name, with a 10-years-old DYK and new pics - look for red birds --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:57, 18 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Today is a woman poet's centenary. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:03, 20 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Your GA nomination of Atlanta Braves

The article Atlanta Braves 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:Atlanta Braves and Talk:Atlanta Braves/GA2 for issues which need to be addressed.
