Vielen Dank, Grimes2. The prob heißt die Stütze. Gleichwohl habe ich den Satz etwas umformuliert. -  Gisbert ツ (talk)  Illustrate Wikipedia !   18:14, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Guten Abend Grimes2, wie ich jetzt gesehen habe, hast du die Quellen wesentlich erweitert und zusätzlich einige US-Patente hinzugefügt und dadurch den Artikel deutlich verbessert. Dafür mein besonderer Dank! Ich denke, dass so viele Quellenangaben, wie wir sie jetzt haben, für einen kurzen Artikel mehr als ausreichend sind und habe daher den Citationsvermerk über dem Artikel entfernt.

Thank you for what you did for the article, great work! I wonder if his name to appear in all the publications, and I just noticed that the earlier paragraph on his youth was taken word for word from The Guardian, - thank goodness I had already copy-edited because it was so much ot our style.

Guten Morgen Grimes2, ich habe den Abschnitt "History" überarbeitet und erweitert. Der Text steht vorerst hier: User:Gisbert_K/sandbox3. Würdest du ihn dir bitte einmal anschauen und ggf. korrigieren? Danke! -  Gisbert ツ (talk)  Illustrate Wikipedia !   08:26, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Hallo Grimes2, leider hat der User:Nikkimaria meine Ergänzung komplett zurückgesetzt, angeblich wegen unzulänglicher Quellen. Ich habe dann meinen Entwurf nachgebessert und auf der Diskussionsseite des Artikels Klarinette angekündigt, dass ich diesen Text demnächst wieder einstellen möchte. Schau dir bitte einmal an, was der User:Binksternet dazu geschrieben hat, einmal dieses: "Your English composition suffers from stiff and stilted wording", zum anderen geht er nochmals auf die Quellen ein. Könntest du vielleicht die englische Ausdrucksweise in Ordnung bringen? Ich würde mich dann nochmals mit den Quellen befassen. ---  Gisbert ツ (talk)  Illustrate Wikipedia !   20:11, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

Mein English ist leider nicht gut genug. Vielleicht sollte ein Muttersprachler drüber schauen. Du kannst auch Gerda fragen. Grimes2 (talk) 20:18, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

December songs

Merry Christmas

Thank you for many displays of help and friendship over the month (and the year), such as including the FAZ article about Bernd Loebe, and coming to "our" concert. The latest pics have one of the impressive Chagall exhibition you recommended, and my talk has a pic of the choir after the concert now, likely to become next year's lead image on my user page. Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:16, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Frankfurt museums sidebar - sigh. This should be the same for all museums, for easy maintenance. Alternatively, have it at one place, and link from the individual museums. I have no idea why ill doesn't work for you, - it does for me. Please never code <br> but <br />, or all editor colours in edit mode are reduced to a uniform pink. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:31, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

I got a parse error with ill. "in one place": not possible, because of the different highlights and links. Grimes2 (talk) 12:39, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

I still got the correct link to the de-article. Easy remedy: write the articles however short ;) - Quite generally: a template that needs to be adjusted in every article it calls it isn't a good idea. Have it one place, or make it a real template. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:01, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

First: The "OSM Location map" is not made by me (Author is User:RobinLeicester). I got the error message: : Couldn't parse JSON: Syntax error. OSM Location map doesn't accept subtemplate "ill". And needs to be adjusted individually for every article to highlight numbered dots in map, to highlight numbered dot in legend, to delink legend. Grimes2 (talk) 14:43, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

So back to the proposal to have that thing only in one place (if at all). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:17, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

I like that OSM template: looks good and is informative. It's also on the review article Museumsufer. Don't know, if we need two maps in every individual museum article. @RobinLeicester: Your opinion? Grimes2 (talk) 15:28, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

 Done Central template created (

Template:Museumsufer Frankfurt), commented out redundant maps, use central template in articles with no infobox map. Grimes2 (talk

Thank you, for being member of a sophisticated choir. Grimes2 (talk) 17:47, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

I will tell the conductor (31). - Today, pictured, the soprano of our choral concert of the year, his first. More in the context: User talk:Gerda Arendt#DYK for Talia Or, in case of interest. - Enjoy the season! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:53, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

I may not have picked up all the details of the map discussion, so apologies if this is missing the mark. My instinct on the individual museum articles is that they need something consistent that not only says they are part of the Museumsufer, but gives some brief details of what that is. The OSM Location Map with all the dots and list does that, but may be over the top, as most of the detail is not relevant to that article, so something short, embeded within the infobox, would also make sense. If the full map is wanted on all pages (and there is a case to be made that it provides the wider context to each museum), it is possible to 'semi-automatically' highlight the dot relating to an individual museum. (cf {{Flushing Meadows-Corona Park map}} which does this by being passed a highlight number.) RobinLeicester (talk) 12:04, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Semi-automatic highlight works: See Caricatura Museum Frankfurt. Thanks for the Tip. Grimes2 (talk) 12:37, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

On 25 December 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Vom Himmel hoch (Mendelssohn), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Mendelssohn's 1831 Christmas cantata Vom Himmel hoch, influenced by Bach's chorale cantatas, was based on a 1539 carol composed by Martin Luther? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Vom Himmel hoch (Mendelssohn).

my story today

I made an exception from my DYK abstinence for Good Friday, - see my story today. Interesting to compare a hook 2023 style to one in 2012). - I sang, including chorales from Bach's greatest Passion. I recently listened to one by Homilius: a discovery! - If you like quite powerful music for Easter, consider coming to St. Bonifatius on Sunday at 11 (or 10 if you want to hear it twice). Widor for the end, not the famous Toccata, but choir and organ. - I like Tenebrae for Rheingau Musik Preis, - had booked their concert anyway ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:09, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

I loved to see Marian Anderson and her story of protest against discrimination by singing on Easter Sunday 9 April 1939 on the Main page yesterday. Impressions of Easter here and music here. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:17, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

my story today

Thank you for catching my silly mistakes! - I had a good story on coronation day: the Te Deum we sang that day (mentioned before).

Pentecost was full of music, and my story today is that 300 years ago today, Bach became Thomaskantor, with BWV 75, writing music history. - Thank you for the Ligeti link! We'll celebrate 50 years of Chor St. Martin with a service on 2 July, and a concert of Mozart's Requiem on 26 November. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:59, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

my story today

Thank you for help with him, and already the actress! - Regarding Widmann (above): great idea! He knows how to impress me! - I like today's Main page, and here's why ;) - (DYK that we got filmed when performing the piece mentioned?) -- (and then I forgot to sign)

Last weekend was nice, class reunion a funny number of years after completing school, and the lovely park where I spent many Sundays as a child. Today's story is quite dramatic, there's a yt trailer to the hook. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:02, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

Today, the story is ten years old, the Main page had three great people who recently died, and I invite you to look at two videos around concerts I heard, in the short one actually seen in the background, and the long one conducted by Altinoglu. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:39, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

Today: a woman caught by the iron curtain (improved with SusunW and GRuban), yesterday: the Mass in B minor, heard in concert then, three musical videos are out, and vacation pics. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:02, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

Plenty of music on my talk now that our festival started where I saw and heard the enchanting Diana Tishchenko. I added a pic that I took to her article, also a lovely short video with interview and music.

July songs

my story today

Great music (in June, I'm behind: three great RMF concerts)! - Last Saturday, a friend played for us at her birthday party, on four instruments including baryton, with family (granddaughters!) and colleagues, from Renaissance to Haydn. - My story today is very personal: the DYK appeared on Wikipedia's 15th birthday, and describes a concert I sang. I was requested to translate the bio into German for a memorial concert ... - see background, and we talked about life and death. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:27, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

On today's Main page, you can find a cantata that Bach first performed 300 years ago, and an iconic saxophonist from East Germany. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:08, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

August songs

my story today

My story today - a first - isn't about an article by me, but one I reviewed for DYK, see here. I like all: topic, "hook", connected article (a GA on its way towards FA), image and the music "in the background". I just returned from a weekend with two weddings, so also like the spirit ;) - Pics to come, I promise one cake, the other was too large! Good music, and better even in the concert ending the second day, - Goldberg Variations theme for an encore, after Dohnányi Serenade! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:08, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Again not by me: today's story - with the triumph of music over military - is uplifting! - No cake yet, but a butterfly and open-air opera. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:02, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

Today is the anniversary of the premiere of Götterdämmerung. Berit Lindholm sang its final scene in concert at the Royal Festival Hall in London, only four years after her stage debut in a Mozart opera in Stockholm. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:25, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Not on 18 Sep, - you may help in the nomination. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:21, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Today I remember Raymond Arritt, who still helps me, five years after he died, per what he said in my darkest time on Wikipedia (placed in my edit-notice as a reminder), and by teh rulez. - Latest pics from a weekend in Berlin (one more day to come). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:44, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

My story today is The Company of Heaven ("company" with a double meaning, but angelic company in the end). - Pictures of the one more day yes, but no others yet, it's a week with concert or opera almost every night! - Thank you for updating the Oper Frankfurt - I won a bet. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:28, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Too tired to begin October: thank you so much for adding to Tabea Zimmermann! Just the recordings: could you get the notable colleagues to the prose, with a link, not mentioning the others at all. Its a bit of a stretch to list all these names as authors ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:46, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Tabea Zimmermann performs today Bartok Viola Concerto at Kronberg Festival. I hope to have the opportunity to watch at hr-Sinfonieorchester website. Grimes2 (talk) 08:00, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

I have tickets, actually the reason for improving her article. She would be my article today, but now her birthday is on 8 October, so I'll wait. Did I tell you that I happened to sit next to her in a concert and recognize her until after back home? (Actually that was what prompted me to improve.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:15, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

 Done Grimes2 (talk) 09:26, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Better, thank you! - I got the music titles at the beginning. - If you have more time (I don't):

• I don't think we need any names in the refs, - they just clutter the references section without context, and will be the first thing a readers sees following the link anyway.
• The performers appear in no apparent order, possibly alpha, - it would be good to sort them, conductor last, behind the orchestra, musicians in the order voice (SATB), strings (violin, cello), piano, - perhaps assigning an instrument.
• I dropped works on the recordings in which she has no part, just are on the same recording. There might be more of those, and the related performers also don't need to be mentioned.
• For the Haydn Trio, we need only violin and piano, not all performers of that CD.
• I am not sure that Jarrell is the correct composer.
• ... and whatever else I overlooked. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:12, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi, when you edited Mainz with a RefRenamer script, you broke one of the references: <ref name=" "Machtergreifung" 1933"</ref> does not work, you need to remove the inner quotation marks. Not sure if that's a bug in RefRenamer. —Kusma (talk) 20:03, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Thanks. I don't think that this is a bug in RefRenamer. The website isn't "Machtergreifung" 1933. I will fix the website parameter. Grimes2 (talk) 20:09, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

I'm not enthusiastic about renamed references, making them longer, which means having to copy longer strings when using a ref again later. It's different for sfn referencing when the short ref shows openly , but why change ref names that no readers sees? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:20, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

I think, a name for a reference should be meaningful. An example is cryptic ref name ="Rng" to ref name="Büning-2013". But sometimes there are longer strings, but I think this is no problem with copy and paste. Yes its cosmetic, but it helps to maintain an article in the future. Grimes2 (talk) 20:58, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

I turned to using author names, with a year added only when more than one by the same author. Changing cryptic ones, probably created in haste, is fine. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:10, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Yes, that is what the RefRenamer does. I will take care, that the renamed references are an improvement. Grimes2 (talk) 21:22, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Hallo Grimes2, ich habe den Artikel auf den neuesten Stand gebracht. Bitte sieh ihn dir einmal an und korrigiere, soweit notwendig. -  Gisbert ツ (talk)  Illustrate Wikipedia !   16:16, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

 Done Grimes2 (talk) 17:02, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Vielen Dank, Grimes2, du warst ja wieder einmal sehr gründlich, insbesondere bei der Diskographie. Aber warum hast du diesen Absatz gestrichen, ich halte ihn für wichtig:

"In addition to his work with the SWR Symphony Orchestra, Manz performs as a soloist with various other orchestras, not only in Germany, but also in other European countries and occasionally in the USA and Japan. He also performs chamber music works with a number of musical partners at festivals and on other prestigious stages." -  Gisbert ツ (talk)  Illustrate Wikipedia !   17:11, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Das ist sehr unspezifisch: Viele Orchester weltweit und Kammermusik. Auf wen trifft das nicht zu. Die Manz webseite als Quelle soltest Du vermeiden. Grimes2 (talk) 17:15, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Manz ist in erster Linie Soloklarinettist im SWR Radio Sinfonieorchester, nicht Solist wie z.B. Sabine Meyer und Martin Fröst (den ich demnächst treffen werde). Daneben, soweit es die Orchestertätigkeit erlaubt, vor allem in den Orchesterferien, tritt er als Solist (mit anderen Orchestern, z.B. in Hamburg mit dem Elbphilharmonieorchester, in Japan mit dortigen Orchestern, die ihn einladen) auf. Darüber hinaus führt er mit einer Reihe musikalischer Partner bei Festspielen und auf anderen renommierten Podien Werke der Kammermusik auf. Es gibt genügend Soloklarinettisten in den verschiedenen Orchestern, die sich auf die Orchestertätigkeit beschränken. Vielleicht bringst du das noch irgendwie in den Text. -  Gisbert ツ (talk)  Illustrate Wikipedia !   20:15, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Guten Morgen Grimes2, bitte überprüfe nochmal die Quellenangaben zu den CD-Aufnahmen, die meisten Links gehen nicht.

Guten Morgen, da ist nur die OCLC Nummer angegeben, die zu Worldcat verlinkt. Diese links sollten alle funktionieren. Die eigene Webseite ist eine Primärquelle. Aber viele Sekundärquellen schreiben bei der Künstlerwebseite ab (das ist nicht Sinn der Sache). Grimes2 (talk) 05:32, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
