Thank you for an interesting bio! Sad that it didn't stay long. Same for the lead pic in the news ... --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:32, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Gerda Arendt, happy to know you liked this, too. Next, there will be a DYK on Marie Marcks. ;) Munfarid1 (talk) 05:32, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good to know, let me know when you nominate, I like to review women's bios! - Do you really need two archive boxes on this page? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:59, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gerda Arendt, it's already been nominated and should be somewhere in the prep area. - But next time, when I nominate a DYK of a women's bio, I will let you know. - Also thanks for the unnecessary double archive boxes. (It was my first try to use this, and I have just corrected this.) Munfarid1 (talk) 06:11, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, - if "she" still needs a review when I'll need a qpq I'll do it. I found DYK too time-consuming, and turned more towards the RD section of In the news, nominations at WP:ITNN. Reviewing is much easier there: Is the article substantial enough, and is it fully referenced? That's all. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:39, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding East Germany: I accept it for sports people and politicians, but for others, the pipe or simply "Germany" seems better. It's a sloppy term, to be avoided if possible. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:34, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, I thought we have to name the state where someone was born. And according to one of her interviews, this influenced her childhood and artistic development. Munfarid1 (talk) 19:22, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But East Germany is no state, German Democratic Republic was the state. Also: we don't have to name the state. Look at Mozart, and the many times it has been reverted. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:19, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Happy whatever you celebrate today, - more who died, more to come, and they made the world richer. Greetings from Madrid where I took the pic of assorted Cucurbita in 2016. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:18, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerda Arendt Thank you for this pleasant surprise! If you don't know the chappel where Goya is buried, I suggest a visit to San Antonio de la Florida. And also the Colecciones Reales near the Royal Palace. Have a great day Munfarid1 (talk) 08:20, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Marie Marcks

On 3 November 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Marie Marcks, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Marie Marcks sarcastically caricatured gender roles like no one before, according to Jutta Limbach?

Thank you for an interesting bio, also featured - pictured - on Portal:Germany! Thank you for the recommendations above, I saw the galleries now, and the chapel on a previous visit, - both exactly the things I like to see. Teresina next, and I know nothing (but that a friend lives there). --

Glad you liked the collections, and thanks for putting this DYK on the portal. - I wasn't aware of this up to now!

Enjoy your trip and new discoveries.

I will, but this trip was over yesterday. Pics to come, some are already where the music plays, the one of the concert hall not by me, - I sat left above the choir, was afraid I wouldn't hear them but was wrong ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:43, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

first Madrid pics -- (forgot to sign)

more Madrid pics, including the galleries! - For a surprise, a Bach cantata is on the Main page today, where it was last year for the 300th anniversary, and they were too lazy to find something new ;) - Look at my story, and listen to the 3 whole-tone steps and the dialogues of Fear and Hope. - An open letter open to be signed (more info on the talk), - I haven't checked if you did, please ignore then. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:36, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I uploaded more pics, on a mountain in the sun above the fog. - Madeleine Riffaud - remember. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:28, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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) 20:34, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

December music

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) 22:06, 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) 19:56, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Happy new year 2025, opened with trumpet fanfares that first sounded OTD in 1725 (as the Main page had). Thank you for your cello recommendation! - My story today is about a composer who influenced music history also by writing. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:55, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today I had a composer (trumpeter, conductor) on the main page who worked closely with another who just became GA, - small world! To celebrate: mostly flowers pics from vacation ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:22, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have more vacation pics to offer, and today's story of Werner Bardenhewer. I took the pic, and it was my DYK on his 90th birthday, in both English and German. He spent the day in Africa, and after his return said - chatting after a mass of thanks he celebrated at Mariä Heimsuchung - that we'd have to talk about these articles. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:46, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Please could you explain what "important information" was deleted which required you to revert my edit here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Karl_Braun_(botanist)&diff=prev&oldid=1277220872 ?.

Hi @Kj cheetham: thanks for getting back and reminding me of the missing blp=no. Actually, I had only seen your change on my mobile, and strangely, the WP and Translated from did not appear. So I was under the impression you had accidentally deleted all of this. Only now I realized what you had rightly changed, without anything being erased. So I just restored your welcome changes.

Hi Munfarid1. Thank you for your work on Ateu Atsa. Another editor, Netherzone, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Hi Munfarid1, hope all is well with you and yours. I came across the article on Ateu Atsa on NPP. Thank you for creating the article, it is a great addition to the encyclopedia. I wanted to mention that I noticed an error message in the Notes section, Cite error: A list-defined reference with the name "Note03" has been invoked, but is not defined in the <references> tag (see the help page).. I tried to track it down to correct it, but could not find where the error originated. Not a big deal, but otherwise, everything looks spectacular. Thanks again for your work.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Netherzone}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)
