Hi Sir,

I thank you for correcting my edit and mostly for your advice on https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Story_of_Racheltjie_De_Beer&action=history I was part of a group of beginners on editing African film and arts in Africa on Wikipedia, I was editing there as I'm part of the course, however I thank you for noticing my mistake and your corrections, the course has ended in the beginning of March with so much learning but for you to reintroduce me to more of learning and understanding how to edit on Wiki even more wiser means so much to me. Thank you please continue doing so.

I like to see Appalachian Spring on the Main page today (not by me, just interested and reviewed, and a bit proud that I brought the woman's pic to lead and Main page), and I also made it my story. - How do you like the statue (see places)? I was undecided so show three versions ;) -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:29, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Happy April! Yes, I like the statue. I'd never heard of Hildegard before. BTW, since we're talking about Copland, I just noticed the state of Rodeo – yikes! Going on my to-do list... DanCherek (talk) 20:15, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hildegard is a local hero, venerated as a woman who contradicted the pope, composed music and wrote recipes for healthy food long before she was officially a saint. I knew from the artist that the model for the statue was a ballet dancer from Berlin, and then wrote about Steffi Scherzer and noticed something. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:27, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As it happens, Hildegard's Physica is on the Main page today, and Marian Anderson as my top story (by NBC, 1939), and below on my talk three people with raised arms, - and the place is the cherry blossom in Frauenstein --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:52, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Very nice! We just had the cherry blossoms where I live, in full bloom a couple weeks ago, but they're all gone now. DanCherek (talk) 23:48, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

now plum tree blossom, for Kalevi Kiviniemi in the snow - see my talk --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:40, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My story today is about a piece composed for the Second Sunday after Easter 300 years ago (listen!), and I just returned from a (long) opera about the same age, with soprano Pretty Yende --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:01, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

relief: the last of six RD articles in one week is now on the Main page. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:12, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, first of all, thank you again for giving me this role. So far I have accepted one edit and tried to delete one (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Daddy_Yankee&diff=prev&oldid=1218239310); for the last one, I had to remove it manually (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Daddy_Yankee&diff=prev&oldid=1218250556) because of the message "There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Please resubmit the form. You may receive this message if you are blocking cookies."; how to solve this? JacktheBrown (talk) 16:37, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JackkBrown: Hmm, not quite sure. I'm seeing sporadic reports in noticeboard archives from other people who received the same message in the past (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4), so the first thing I would suggest is to review a few more pending changes to see if you encounter the same issue again, and if you do, try some of the suggestions in those threads (like clearing cookies, trying a different browser, etc.). Hope that helps. DanCherek (talk) 18:18, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, revdel done, and thanks for giving another warning. DanCherek (talk) 21:41, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I hope you are doing well. I have an inquiry about editing about a person who has little sources of information talking about her. How do I go about it. --DivineGaby (talk) 14:39, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi DivineGaby, is this about an existing article or one that you want to create? In general, the extent of significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources is how notability is determined, so if there is too little existing information, it could be an indicator that there is not enough to merit an article at this time. But it's hard to generalize, so if you have a specific topic in mind, that would be helpful. DanCherek (talk) 03:09, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello DanCherek.

Thank you for the insight,I'm editing an article about Margaret Trowell as one of the presidents of the Uganda Society DivineGaby (talk) 20:37, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DivineGaby: Thanks! Yeah, there's definitely enough to establish notability and I see you've already cited some good sources, like the Court article. Here are a few more I found from a quick search that might be helpful: [1][2]. Anyways, my advice would be to just go through all of the relevant sources you can find and add whatever information you find about her. It's okay if some parts are not as comprehensive as others if the sourcing isn't there – that can always be challenging when writing about historical people.
