My motto for 2022 is taken from ], an article about a composition by Karlheinz Stockhausen, written by missed Jerome Kohl with whom I often exchanged thoughts in friendship. With great help from friends, it became a GA last year, and I translated it to German on 1 January this year.

While '''garden''' was a key topic last year, I want to focus on '''songs''' in 2022, beginning with ], ] of ]. Other topics are ongoing, and I began to mark groups on my user page. I love collaboration, which also shows there. Just check ] for the amazing number of users who began articles we expanded. Thanks also to reviewers, and I do plan to review more and write less, and in writin, focus more on quality than the little daily article, which was a pleasant sport for five years, but not so much in the name of ] - article improvement. Below I keep - for now - some entries from last year, those related to friendship.

Here I am to keep it going, in fond memory of the legacy the founders planted. Precious and Impact are the project's prizes, and I offer monthly thanks to those who are active, - you who read this could be one of them ;)

:: Thank you, both! If ] still had any interest, I could not have done it, but now he's learning German instead ;) - Seriously: it's easy. In 2015, I decided to leave the infobox circus (due to health reasons) - longish discussions for very few articles by very few editors with a specific taste for a clean image instead of information provided for "idiots" - and turned to writing one simple short article every day, - typically not "attacked" by those (with ] in 2018, which didn't go to DYK - rather no DYK than show an article without infobox). As ], they resulted in almost as many DYK, some 200+ for several years, which accumulated nicely. Thanks to ] who comes up with many more than one topic per day so I can choose, and Grimes2 who serves references and new articles like magic, it's wonderfully easy! Do the same, y'all, don't care about the infoboxes in articles that others wrote, - write your own instead, in collaboration. You'll miss things like ] - just discovered, but you will not miss much.

Hi Gerda, sorry to be a pain in the tail but I because it didn't ask a question. As you can see from the relevant case page, I recommended that Arbcom decline the case and thought that RexxS exhibited no more than mild incivility, that was running rampant throughout the world during the start of COVID, and I agree with SV's comment "{{xt| I want to add that he is one of the most genuinely kind editors I've had the pleasure to encounter. You may not get fake politeness from him, but you have found a friend if you ever need one.}}" which I can wholeheartedly endorse from personal experience having met him in the pub several times. It would be nice to see if somebody can suggest a constructive action that has a reasonable chance of RexxS returning and contributing to Misplaced Pages, but I don't think that's it. Sorry. ] ] ] 11:40, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
: ], I don't think you understood. I wanted to know from ] if the next time an appeal such as Sarah's - "every editor is a human being" - came around (regardless which case) he would listen. I don't know if he didn't see that appeal then, or saw it but it didn't change things for him. I thought that was clear without a question mark, also that without an answer, I'd not vote for him, or any other who accepted the case, before or after Sarah pleaded, because even arbs may change their mind and should follow the complete request discussion. The relevant discussion happened on ], urging the one who filed the case to withdraw it, but - as we know - in vain. How may I word my censored question? I want arb's who listen to people like Sarah (knowing that there's no one like her), probably women ;) --] (]) 12:33, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
::I would go with "{{xt|You accepted the RexxS arbitration case, despite many users including SarahSV suggesting it should be declined, not least because "every editor is a human being".

::: That could be ''your'' question ;) - I want only Sarah's, not the others, to keep things "übersichtlich" for someone (unfamiliar with the case, and again, it's not about that particular case) who wants to put the candidate's answer in context (and would have to read only one, not the others). - Let me think a bit, first I have other things to do. My design was to ask candidates not involved in that case: Would you have listened to SarahSV's appeal to decline the case?

''''']''''' is a comic ] in one act by ] to an Italian ] by ], composed in 1917–18. The work is the third and final part of Puccini's '']'', three one-act operas with contrasting themes, following the dramatic '']'' and the lyric '']''. The libretto is based on an incident mentioned in Dante's '']''. Set in 1299 ], the title character pretends to be a rich citizen who had died, dictating a new will in favour of the deceased's family members but especially of himself ''(scene in the premiere pictured)''. The comedy, a rarity in the composer's work, combines elements of Puccini's modern harmonic dissonances with lyrical passages such as the aria "]". When ''Il trittico'' premiered at New York's ] on 14&nbsp;December 1918, only ''Gianni Schicchi'' became an immediate hit.

Happy Christmas, Gerda! And thank you so much for your participation in DYK again this year. Your nominated articles have brought me a lot of joy, because I always have a quick listen to your subject-musicians on Youtube, where possible. So here is something for you. My father had a habit of listening to the radio every Christmas Eve at 11.00am, when it broadcast the ] from ]. He would only listen to the first verse of the opening carol ], when a soprano choirboy would (in those days) sing solo while processing up the long aisle of that chapel with its perfect upper-range acoustics. The radio mic picked up his voice getting louder as it drew closer. So is a fairly recent one for you to enjoy. They don't process any more, but it's still good, and I still listen to it. All the best. ] (]) 10:55, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

Second day of Christmas, and asked how it was: yes it has it's charm, - DYK that we have two days in Germany?

I missed singing in choir, but the Martinis (begun as youth choir, and now chamber choir - pictured) were inspiring, and promising for singing going on after us. Company was small, but making talk more personal and meaningful. As they had 3 days of Christmas when Bach composed, there will be #27 December = card 4 tomorrow.

No pictures of roaring fires to keep you warm. Just my heart in words wishing you the best for this new year ahead. You have meant the world to me this past year. Your words of encouragement have seen me through tough days. The flowers in Spring and Summer, the Songs and adventurous paths you placed me on kept me occupied and moving forward. I am so very thankful and so very grateful for you and this community. I adore you and cherish our interactions forever. --]] 21:13, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

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 began 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)
