User talk:ThoughtforthedayHello, and welcome! just noticed you did some nice edits to Codex Las Huelgas, which I started back in the day. Just wanted to say welcome, and enjoy. I'm not around much, but when I edited here a lot I found User:Antandrus to be both very knowledgeable and very friendly, so if you have any questions, you might ask him. I'll leave the welcome "template" below, because it has some useful links on it. Best, Mak (talk) 21:15, 9 April 2011 (UTC) Welcome! Hello, Thoughtfortheday, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Merida theatreCiao! Thanks for your help at Merida Theatre... I had given it some attention last year, but honestly I missed to notice how poorly written it was.

Psalm settingsI like that category! I added Handels Utrecht Te Deum and Jubilate, because the Jubilate is an elaborate setting of a psalm. But the Te deum is not. How about the Bach cantatas which contain (for example) one verse of a psalm as one of six movements? Perhaps the category article might explain? - I'll watch here. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:06, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

A barnstar for you
BWV 193 and 193aThanks for improving. But please find another term for "sacred sibling". I personally think that the average reader can handle the math that 11 is slightly higher than 7 without being told ;) - Wolff thinks that Picander may have been the author also of the sacred cantata BECAUSE he wrote the other,- that's why I didn't mention him earlier. Chronologically, BWV 193a should come first, - but that music is lost. What can we do? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:18, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
Re: Categories on userspace pagesNo worries. Inspired by your edit to List of fugal works by Johann Sebastian Bach, I decided to check Category:Compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach to find out what was new, so to speak, and that's how I found your userspace page. Graham87 10:13, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
BWV 131After you expanded the article nicely, I nominated it for DYK, please watch the discussion and answer, perhaps you can propose a better hook? (I usually wait for a reviewer to say something.) I would like to add the pic of "Young Bach" as in BWV 150 but it needs to be in the article. The church pic is not good. Please add a few more inline citations, they can be doubled by just mentioning their name. Good luck! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:22, 3 September 2012 (UTC) ps: I moved the fugue --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:29, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Ceoil (talk) 12:05, 12 September 2015 (UTC) Hi Thoughtfortheday, I'm writing about your latest edit in Armide referring to " a homosexual scandal". Since the source I had cited (Le magazin de l'opéra baroque) makes no mention of a homosexual scandal (however well known Lully's sexual orientation may have been), I was wondering whether you could update sources as well, citing a more appropriate one. Thanks.--Jeanambr (talk) 05:30, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
Easter cantataContinued from above. I converted the recordings to tables and tried to structure a bit. We should now look at each section, make things a bit more logical - it shows that the article grew since 2005, and things were added here and there, some almost contradicting each other. We also need more lead, then we can go for GA. In the next step, I suggest to have more background, about Bach at the time, perhaps also at his colleagues and their works, his models? - and I would like a look at his later cantatas on purely chorale text, - but those steps only after it's GA. Looking for images is another task which can start right now. Compare BWV 165, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:41, 24 September 2015 (UTC) Books and Bytes - Issue 13

ReviewI was bold again: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Christ lag in Todes Banden, BWV 4/archive1 --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:49, 15 January 2016 (UTC) Hello. My edit on the current FAC resolved a sneaky syntactic ambiguity regarding the referent of the pronoun "he" (i.e., was "he" Bach or was "he" Pachelbel); yours removed content (the fact that JSB & P never met). I'm struggling to think of a congenial way to present this request (given that you can't see my face to know that I'm not being snippy or anything like that), but I think perhaps you should consider self-reverting your edit here.

Hertfordshire SpikeDo you think it's worth adding a subcategory to Category:Churches in Hertfordshire for churches with a spike? Cabayi (talk) 14:50, 14 May 2018 (UTC) Honister CragHi. I'm a New Page Reviewer. I was going to ask you to clarify your thinking when you created two pages relating to Honister Crag and Honister Crag SSSI, as this wouldn't normally be accepted. However, knowing the area a bit, and having an interest in SSSIs, I looked into it a bit further, and it's clear from the MAGIC website that the SSSI designation incorporates Fleetwith Pike too (see here). So, I wonder if you could make this distinction clearer on both pages, especially if you want to avoid someone slapping on a merge request, or simply blanking one page and creating a redirect again? You might also like to take the opportunity to use the SSSI citation to add more background information on the crag and its biodiversity here; see a site map of the designation (which includes Fleetwith Pike) here and perhaps link to a source on management issues here and maybe refer to the rock climbs on the Honister Crag page see here and here.

Disambiguation pages and redirectsRedirecting a term to the article a reader is most likely to want to see, is not discriminatory. It is Wikipedia policy (see also WP:TWODABS). Where there is potential ambiguity in a title, or in a term that is redirected to a particular page, but there is an obvious primary topic, then you can place a hatnote on the page to help the small number of readers who wanted to go somewhere else. It isn't clear that this would be useful to direct people to a pointless uncited stub that you just created, but if the stub survives then nobody can really complain about a hatnote. Lastly, the re-targetting of a redirect that is already linked from multiple articles to point to something else breaks all those articles, so that in itself is reason to revert to the original redirect. Please familiarise yourself with these policies before making an even bigger mess. Lithopsian (talk) 22:04, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Stradivari violas
A tag has been placed on Category:Stradivari violas requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time. If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".

This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers. Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Copying within WikipediaYou did provide information which helps identify the source of the material in your edit. It appears to be Kelham. Copying within Wikipedia is acceptable but we have a guideline on how it must be attributed. This type of edit does get picked up by Copy Patrol and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. However, for future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia? In particular, linking to the source article and adding the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved. While best practices are that attribution should be added to the edit summary at the time the edit is made, the linked article on best practices describes the appropriate steps to add attribution after the fact. I hope you will do so. I've noticed that this guideline is not very well known, even among editors with tens of thousands of edits, so it isn't surprising that I point this out to some veteran editors, but there are some t's that need to be crossed.~~~~ S Philbrick(Talk) 11:48, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

Kendal public library Thoughtfortheday (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy, as far as I know. My IP address is 10.106.20.17. I imagine some vandalism has been committed by users of the library in Cumbria, England, but presumably people with an account need not be caught. I am blocked from editing my Sandbox too - block is stated as applying to range 147.161.236.0/23.--Thoughtfortheday (talk) 13:13, 11 June 2024 (UTC) Accept reason: The library seems to be using a zscaler proxy(the IP range you give), probably for security. As a long time user I will give you a short term IPBE so you can resume editing. If you edit from the library frequently and need something longer term, please contact a checkuser(see WP:IPECPROXY). 331dot (talk) 09:14, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

Today's story is about a photographer who took iconic pictures, especially View from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on Manhattan, 9/11, yesterday's was a great mezzo, and on Thursday we watched a sublime ballerina. If that's not enough my talk offers chamber music from two amazing concerts. - I'm in the process of improving BWV 178 towards GA, - help welcome, such as referencing the recordings, adding prose to the section ... -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:56, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
September music
Thank you, I was pleased, and per calendar, BWV 78 is 300 years today! The next will be BWV 99 for last Sunday and then BWV 8 for next Sunday. Thank you for your work on the interim Leipzig music director. Please make the version with initials a redirect, to find him better ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:10, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for improving articles on October! - My story today is a cantata 300 years old, based on a hymn 200 years old when the cantata was composed, based on a psalm some thousand years old, - so said the 2015 DYK hook.

My story story is about a it's a great woman, soprano Sigrid Kehl, and I found a 1963 Christmas Oratorio detail. 10 years earlier than that cantata cycle, Bach wrote seven cantatas for the 1724 season, based on seven songs, - my focus this year. Expect three stories for the three days they celebrated in Leipzig ;) - BWV 122 looks like in most need of expansion. - Enjoy the season! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:04, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
