The story is today about the first published composition by Arnold Schönberg which I was blessed to hear. Listen, and perhaps read what Alma Mahler (to-be-Mahler at the time, to be precise, who was present at the first performance) said, and yes that was too much for the Main page ;) - Thank you for adding the title! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:38, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Happy new month, @Gerda Arendt: and thanks for sharing your photographs from June... some very delicious looking food! I will have a look at the things you mentino later on! — Amakuru (talk) 14:15, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, - today's story is about a Bach cantata premiered 300 years ago OTD. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:18, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- 3 July is the birthday of Leoš Janáček, and I'm happy I had a meaningful DYK in 2021. It's also the birthday of Franz Kafka, and I uploaded pics from his family's album seen in Berlin. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:53, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- Libuše Domanínská, the subject of yesterday's story, would have turned 100 today, but I missed that ;) - Overnight, Tamara Milashkina became GA and Lando Bartolini went to the Main page. I made my story about his almost unbelievable career, from Luigi in Il tabarro in Philadelphia in 1968 (with a nod to Liberty) up to Calaf in Turandot in Beijing in 1999 ;) - 4 July is also the birthday of Brian Boulton who was a pioneer of a concise infobox in 2013. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:00, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- On a friend's birthday - she is pictured on my talk - I have another RD death article that needs reviewing, Martti Wallén. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:51, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- Pictured on the Main page: Brian's Mozart family grand tour, my story today, and related to three items of music: our 2023 concert, an opera in a theatre where a Mozart premiere took place, and those remembered, the bass and Liana Isakadze, a violinist from Georgia, and her article would be better with more details about her music-making. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:47, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Today's story is about an outstanding violinist from Georgia, which is a sad story in the end. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:39, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: it seems like she had a very distinguished career. RIP, sad indeed. — Amakuru (talk) 14:12, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- Well, I rather meant that the lead went to 1988 but the sadness began in 1995. - Today, thank you for UEFA Euro 2004 Final, introduced in 2021) as about "the 2004 edition of the European Championship, and it brought one of the greatest shocks in the history of football. Outsiders Greece, who had never won a game at a major tournament before, stormed through the tournament, beating hosts Portugal in the opening game and then seeing off the tournament-holders France in the quarter-final and the Czech Republic in the semi-final. In the final, they met Portugal again and, through a combination of resolute defending and nicking a goal from a corner, they managed to overcome Portugal in their own back yard for a second time to claim the trophy."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:42, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- I remember today Bach's 1724 cantata for this Sunday which is unusual in many respects. Another woman needs attention for RD, Marina Kondratyeva. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:20, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for the notes on the cantata, Gerda Arendt and for reminding me of the FA I wrote on the Euro 2004 final. Today was the 2024 final in Berlin and sadly England lost again, as in 2021. The winning Spanish team played very well though. All the best for the coming week — Amakuru (talk) 21:50, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. Moar: My story today is - because of the anniversary of the premiere OTD in 1782 - about Die Entführung aus dem Serail, opera by Mozart, while yesterday's was - because of the TFA - about Les contes d'Hoffmann, opera by Offenbach. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:23, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yesterday I listened in concert to Mozart's Clarinet Quintet, with Sabine Meyer: a delight, and very intimate (yt with same people). - Today's story is about Ruth Hesse, 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. - 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! --(forgot to sign)
- Today's story is about a photographer who took iconic pictures, especially View from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on Manhattan, 9/11. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:27, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: fantastic, sounds like a great concert. I am walking in the Yorkshire Dales, fantastic scenery I'll upload some pics in a few days. — Amakuru (talk) 10:30, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, looking forward! - Today's story begins with Psalm 124, paraphrased in 1524, and put to five (!) chorale settings in one cantata by Bach in 1724, for this Sunday. Nominated for GA. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:49, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Just a look at music (on my talk) shows remembrance of three people who died, and then creating an article or improving one is all I can do. Three are on the Main page today, and three others planned ... --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:09, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Similarly, Wikipedia:Main Page history/2024 July 30b will have a baritone, a violinist, a composer and a Bach cantata, - almost too much, and the composer's article, Wolfgang Rihm, should be better, help wanted. - Plenty of music on my parents anniversary day ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:32, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Tennis
[edit]Everyone disagreed with you here but you just ignore them to have your own way? WT:In the news/Archive 111#Linking of sports in blurbs, nice one. Stephen 23:20, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Stephen: - "everyone disagreed" is putting it a bit strongly... It seemed like Bagumba was tacitly agreeing with the point that they could access the sport through the bolded link, making the responses 2 to 1. Anyway, what's more telling is that the editors proposing and posting these hooks on the ground at ITN more often than not seem to omit the link, and that has nothing to do with me. It suggests the feeling in the ground is different from the sentiment in that discussion. This tennis one was proposed at ITN/C and posted with no link. We also had a cricket one last week which moved down ITN without a link for about five days, with nobody intervening and no apparent issues.[1] More often that not I think you and I are in agreement about ITN edits these days, but in this case I'm really quite puzzled as to why you'd prefer the version where a full 12 of the 18 words in the hook are blue... Cheers — Amakuru (talk) 06:53, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, it’s not worth fussing over. Sorry for starting this thread, best wishes. Stephen 16:20, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- Sure, no worries and agree it's not a big deal. We just love to argue over tiny details sometimes...! — Amakuru (talk) 23:15, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
