Pictured on the Main page: Brian's Mozart family grand tour, my story today, and Mozart related to all three items of music on my talk: our 2023 concert, an opera in a theatre where a Mozart premiere took place, and those remembered, Martti Wallén, a bass, and Liana Isakadze, a violinist from Georgia, (whose article would be better with more details about her music-making). - In Bach's chorale cantata, BWV 107 will be next, perhaps good for a lilypond of the tune or the final chorale? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:01, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you point me at the specific part that should be transcribed, I can give it a shot. (I pulled it up on IMSLP but don't know where to look.) DanCherek (talk) 04:37, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I wanted to link to Dahn, but when I last posted the website was under maintenance. here - melody looks slightly embellished, for the triple metre's sake. - Today's story is about an outstanding violinist from Georgia, which is a sad story in the end. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:49, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! Especially for the Clarinet Quintet I heard yesterday, with Sabine Meyer (click on music). - I was so pleased that you promoted Thomas Hoepker to RD before I went to bed, - did you feel that I was getting nervous? - Today's story is about Ruth Hesse though (Hoepker to come tomorrow), with a pic in the article only, sadly. I found it difficult to point at a YouTube sample, because yes, her signature roles - the Nurse and Brangäne - exist in great full-length operas with great casts, but hard to find her, - well, for the Nurse she's easy to find, at the very beginning, but too much orchestra to really hear the personal quality of her voice. - Talking of YouTube: today I was pointed at Elijah by a friend who performed in the concert of the Dessoff Choirs in their centenary year, and I'm quite impressed by samples (beginning and No. 32 where I linked it) - enjoy. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:06, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How can I protect a page? Someone keeps vandalizing a page and I keep reverting their edits but they won't stop. --Trulyy (talk) 23:19, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Probably not vandalism, just someone who removed it based on their own opinion (not ideal either). That said, you probably want to look for stronger sourcing than a single opinion piece in the Washington Examiner for inclusion. DanCherek (talk) 18:30, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much for help with the format for the proverbs quoted in Ndau and English in the Ndau dialect article. I had done the same for a Mongo language article this weekend, so I just went and changed those proverbs to follow the same style. I plan to add proverbs in this way for all the African language articles for which there are good bilingual proverb collections in the public domain or in books/articles available at Internet Archive, so your edits will help me with all those proverbs yet to come too. Much appreciated! Laurakgibbs (talk) 23:13, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I wasn't spamming and if it seemed that way it wasn't meant to appear that way and it wasn't J. M. Barrie's Amazon bio I was using I was only trying to raise awareness of Peter Von Brown since he apparently is a renown scholar on the subject of James Matthew Barrie receiving Honors at Knox College for his Independent Study of Sir J.M. Barrie as a Modern Mythmaker and was privy to the actual unused notes left by J.M. Barrie himself, jotted down as Barrie mused upon a new adventure for Pan. Therefore he might be someone to at the vey least acknowledge in passing or he might not but what if there's some truth in his bio? — Preceding unsigned comment added by CSOOCS (talk • contribs) 21:41, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Even portions of your message here contain text copied from Barrie'sBrown's bio, because I know you didn't write the phrase jotted down as Barrie mused upon a new adventure for Pan yourself. DanCherek (talk) 22:06, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry but this wasn't spamming just requesting a note to raise awareness of the author if you take this as some sort of a personal attack against Wikipedia perhaps such a thing might be taken out of context. One shouldn't assume the worst, this was just an innocent suggestion not some act of maliciousness against Wikipeda — Preceding unsigned comment added by CSOOCS (talk • contribs) 22:18, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it was malicious, just misguided, and sorry if my wording was harsh. I've modified my original message on your talk page to say "posting", not "spamming". DanCherek (talk) 22:25, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Administrator DanCherek this was only to make aware of the author, some of your Users feel he is not worth mentioning because he self-publishes but one shouldn't disregard him if he is somewhat established. This is precisely why I stepped back from editing on Wikipedia because it caused too many unnecessary conflicts with others who were consistently squabbling with one another over what was best for such and such articles on Wikipedia. I try to return to help out in contributing in some way or other and now it starts all over again. NOTHING'S MUCH CHANGED...it's only become MORE COMPLICATED with all these BRAND NEW RULES TO NOT VIOLATE. I'm sorry if I'm venting but you can't add anything nowadays to this site without someone finding some sort of fault in it — Preceding CSOOCS comment added by CSOOCS (talk • contribs) 22:41, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry if you feel like your contributions aren't valued at Wikipedia. They are important. When editors disagree about a part of an article, it's typically resolved through discussion on the talk page, so I'm glad you are giving your thoughts at Talk:List of works based on Peter Pan. My initial post on your talk page was simply a request after I noticed that you were copy/pasting a similar blurb about von Brown's credentials to multiple pages. It's best to keep discussion centralized at the talk page in question. I understand your frustration and hope you feel better. DanCherek (talk) 01:22, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
