April music

story · music · places

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)[reply]

The next cantata made it to the main page, - listen ;) - room for lilypond --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:41, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

Happy Easter! DanCherek (talk) 03:16, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

Here it is. DanCherek (talk) 03:27, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

BWV 42.7

That's great! I just listened to the yt in my story and thought that it's different! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:23, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think some of these beginnings could get to show and sound in Easter Oratorio? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:51, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

May music

story · music · places

Bach's cantata was performed 300 years ago, by occasion. - With a chorale #6. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:37, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today's main page has again memories of three people who died, for two just the name and for the third an image (great!) coupled with a little bit from her life which seems too little for my taste. What do you think? - A friend of mine sang in Verdi's Requiem at Trinity Church, - you can watch the lifestream (Verdi about 30 minutes into it). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:48, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Guideline and policy news

• 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.

Miscellaneous

• 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!
