memories -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:28, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the link. That is a moving tribute to him. Storye book (talk) 08:59, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I wrote the article of one of the songs in the recent service, Bunt sind schon die Wälder. Do you agree that a less military look of the poet would be a good idea? The present pic is already a crop. Even better would be a pic showing him younger but I didn't see one. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:42, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Try this: File:Johann Gaudenze Salis-Seewis (1).png - younger and not military. We did already have the same pic at Commons, but I found a bigger version. Storye book (talk) 16:55, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I saw that one, but he still didn't look like 20, - ok, will take. For DYK, I nominated with the composer. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:49, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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) 21:00, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agh. That open letter is scary. Storye book (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So is the life of Madeleine Riffaud. Pic? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:53, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Madeleine Riffaud done. Love that pic! Storye book (talk) 20:36, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's great! Thank you! - Nguyễn Đình Thi? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:49, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Will look tomorrow. Storye book (talk) 22:34, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for looking. Today's story relates to 2 meanings of 9 Nov, - imagine: I found a DYK I liked from 2006, before my time here. Two of yours are approved for the rejected ballerina. - The next couple: Christine Görner (who died 30 Oct but it was entered only 7 Nov) and Benno Kusche. I hope she didn't see that her article was up for deletion. - More pics but not as many roses as in the last batch. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:13, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Görner and Kusche done. Quite pleased with both photos this time, both looking their best. Storye book (talk) 11:57, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, - thank you! What about the Vietnamese whose name I can't type? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:38, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oops sorry I missed that. Currently overwhelmed with family birthdays. Will look in a minute. Storye book (talk) 10:33, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nguyễn Đình Thi done. Storye book (talk) 11:15, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! - She's already off the Main page, - would have been so fitting on a day many remember war victims. - And I didn't want to write her story yesterday which was a day of singing (Mawby, Rutter) on a private anniversary. In music, I matched a choir singing in resistance to war (in 2022) to yesterday's location, and Reger's anti-war Requiem (which isn't a Requiem) of 1915. - Johannes Beutler? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:29, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Beutler done. Storye book (talk) 08:35, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for trying hooks for me (Bunt sind schon die Wälder)! - But the one from my story (Kondratyeva) seemed too dry in the end. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:39, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Clytus Gottwald? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:53, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll do it today, asap. Storye book (talk) 11:55, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Clytus Gottwald done. It's blurry, but interesting and characterful. The other available photos of him mostly had his hand on his face and were boring. I like this one. Storye book (talk) 12:28, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
thank you! - I agree! - flying back, to arrive tomorrow. Pic for the Odile on my user page? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:42, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Odile done. Storye book (talk) 09:33, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, back home, slowly catching up. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:35, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Charles Dumont (singer)? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:24, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Welcome back. Dumont done. Storye book (talk) 10:36, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Great! Odile nominated itnn, last day ... - Siegfried Thiele? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:16, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Siegfried Thiele done. Storye book (talk) 09:02, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And nominated for the RDs. - 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) 19:23, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Walworth Castle

[edit]

Hello - I see you are the main contributor to the Walworth Castle article. I came to it by a very round-a-bout route and made a minor correction. Vivian and Edmund Harrison Aylmer are actually buried at St Philip's Church, Caerdeon in North Wales, and not at Caerleon in South Wales. This, unusable, non-RS source, confirms, [1]. My question is why? and I was hoping you might know. I think they both died in the North East, their parents were buried at Abergele after their deaths there in the Abergele rail disaster, and I can find no connection with Caerdeon. Any information you may have would be appreciated. KJP1 (talk) 10:30, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry; I have no idea why they were buried there. However, if they had children, then their offspring would have been influential regarding the funeral, burial etc. A son or daughter who was close to their parents may well want the parents buried within easy reach of their present home, so that they may visit the grave regularly. I have seen that happen a lot, including in my own family. Storye book (talk) 10:38, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No problem at all, and thanks for the prompt response. I shall continue to search. Best regards. KJP1 (talk) 10:56, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Marianne Preger-Simon, Michael Ruetz? - on a train -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:57, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Marianne Preger-Simon done. However it is a tiny thumbnail, which is pixellated - it was the best that I could find. I'm not sure whether she is in this pic, or which one is her. If you can identify her in this pic, I can crop out her pic, and resize it for the article. That picture apparently comes from this page, according to the search engine. Storye book (talk) 16:18, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Michael Ruetz done. Storye book (talk) 16:32, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! - Alois Ickstadt. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:44, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry I can't find any evidence of the death of Alois Ickstadt. Am I missing something? Storye book (talk) 10:48, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No sorry, I missed my own happy surprise. - Fritz Lehmann? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:01, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fritz Lehmann done. Really nice portrait, this time. Storye book (talk) 11:25, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, thank you! - Today's story comes from a DYK about a concert that fascinated me, and you can listen! For my taste, the hook has too little music - I miss the unusual scoring and the specific dedication - but it comes instead with a name good for viewcount. - Could we have a portrait of the composer, instead of a bust? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:01, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Huang Zhun (composer)? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:25, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure what you mean. Do you prefer the Westernised portrait or Chinese style portrait? Do you want just face, or head and shoulders, or body included? (I can crop the pictures). We don't usually get much choice, so we are lucky this time. There are also pictures of her when she was middle-aged or old, but they are not so pretty. Storye book (talk) 10:02, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In the first sentence, I referred to Karl Amadeus Hartmann. The Chinese composer: the Western portrait gives me a 403 error, I like the other, and I trust your judgement! Don't miss to listen to today's piece. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:26, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Huang Zhun done. I agree, the Chinese picture is better, and more interesting. Storye book (talk) 16:29, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding Hartmann: I do not know enough about German copyright law and WP copyright tags to upload German images to commons, if the pictures are less than 95 years old. We cannot use a non-free ID picture, because we already have a free picture of the marble bust. There is a picture here which might be usable on Commons, because (according to Hartman's apparent age of 45 years) it was taken over 70 years ago, and the author is unknown. But I cannot see a German copyright tag here that would fit. If you can find a German copyright expert who can find me the right public domain tag, I can upload the picture to Commons for you. At the moment I don't want to take the risk without advice. Storye book (talk) 16:59, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
