No new members have joined us since the July newsletter. Assessment Assess and review As of 28 July 2024, we have assessed 100% of all articles with a project banner. (Some new and additional article talk pages may still require a banner however) Thanks A very big Thank you to all the editors who labour away quietly and help make this WikiProject what it is; no edit goes unnoticed. To members who have added suggestions to the ToDo list at Yorkshire Portal. To the football and rugby editors who have done sterling work in keeping abreast of the top clubs. To all the WikiProject Yorkshire editors who have been busy on vandal patrol at watchlist.  Great! Aims After discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire in April 2008. Specific aims for the project are:- To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See below) To recruit more active editors (See Member News) To bring our top level article Yorkshire up to Featured article status To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least Good article status To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive (See this month's feature below) To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members and apropos of the above a 2010 New Year article improvement drive/collaboration is being organised. Priority Articles The top priority articles that have been identified to date are as follows - Bradford • Doncaster • East Riding of Yorkshire • Henry Moore • Kingston upon Hull • Leeds • Northern England • North Yorkshire • Ripon • Sheffield • South Yorkshire • Wakefield • West Yorkshire • William Wilberforce • York • Yorkshire • Yorkshire and the Humber The number has been kept deliberately low to give us a fighting chance of improving them to at least GA status, also so we can concentrate our efforts on these first. Yorkshire Day Happy Yorkshire Day to all project members, official celebrations this year take place in York. May be if anyone is in York could get some pictures of the celebrations would be useful. The York article is about to loose it's GA status as it has been under review and is in need of work. Would be good if members could take time to update and keep it as a Good article.

Thank you for all the inspirational images of people which add so much life to the dry words! Walter Fink? - I may have asked before, sorry then. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:01, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fink done. Thank you for your kind words. And thank you for all your hard work on WP all these years. You are the IMDb of music. Storye book (talk) 09:45, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you ;) - Rihm was one of the five composers whose works were played for Fink's 80's birthday (which was on DYK on the day!). Rihm and Lachenmann were not there but Hosokawa and Kirchner were present, and Jörg Widmann even played himself. Some idea for a birthday ;) - For one of mine, there was the premiere of an a cappella Halleluja by Graham Waterhouse at the Idstein church, the conductor was on vacation, Bianca Ehry conducted (who later became assistant organist at the Frankfurt Cathedral, and married Christian Rathgeber, and I ride to choir rehearsals with her mother as long as her road is closed due to construction), and the composer gave her the pitch from the organ. So he thought. Only, unfamiliar with the Catholic mass, he thought the old music would come first, and gave us the pitch for If ye love me. It was only one step lower, but as he had played with my initials, and the altos have low A and G in the end, we reached areas where it wasn't great to put it mildly. - On my program today: the most noticed work by Rihm because written for a spectacular occasion, Reminiszenz, and Bach's cantata that will turn 300 tomorrow, BWV 101. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:52, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you perhaps make a crop of the Rihm lead image, for DYK purposes? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:22, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Back to Fink: the image looks somewhat unfamiliar, while I recognize him in this pic. That's not a good one, don't get me wrong, but I'm not really sure the other is of the same person. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:52, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rihm is done (Link}. Is that was you wanted? As for Fink - that is definitely the same man. Look at the the hairline, especially at the front/side. The eyes, nose and beard are also the same. I'm sure it is him. Storye book (talk) 19:35, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe you. He just looked much more frail when I saw him last. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:07, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the picture that I found showed him much younger. Actually I had to use that pic, all the others were too small. Storye book (talk) 21:15, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Antônio Meneses? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:17, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A free image has already been found, now. Storye book (talk) 08:46, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but it's poor. Can it at least be cropped? Or a better one taken from a performance ... --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:42, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Today I have two "musicians" on the Main page, one is also the topic of my story, watch and listen, - I like today's especially because you see him at work, hear him talk about his work and the result of his work - rare! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:37, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Meneses done. I have lightened it as best I could, although we still can't really see his face, which is in shadow. Thank you for the link. I shall look later.

This week I'm doing a lot of photography of 19th-century gravestones, so next week I shall have a lot of editing and uploading to do. Sigh. But I am researching the monumental masons who made them, so I have to do it. Some of those old stones are beautiful, and the masons working in the graveyards today really admire them. It is good that the work is still appreciated. Storye book (talk) 15:34, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, and how fitting in the context. - ... and a third, like 22 July but with interview and the music to be played today --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:43, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'm glad Sarah Gibson made it. Storye book (talk) 16:16, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Celestina Casapietra? (was on DYk in 2019, no problem there) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:07, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Casapietra done. Looking at the picture I guessed her age as around 30 years, or maybe late 20s. But, looking at her article, maybe the date is 1970s? So please adjust the caption as you see fit. The heavy makeup may be making her look younger than she really was. Storye book (talk) 08:55, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, haven't looked: Verna Osborne, on the Main page, DYK. The main author doesn't like infoboxes, so be it, but she'd deserve a pic if there is one. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:00, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Storye book (talk) 10:33, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, great! - I thought at first "can't be 1930s" because I had forgotten that she - unlike many others - didn't die in 2024 ;) - On 13 August, Bach's cantata was 300 years old, and the image one. The cantata is an extrordinary piece, using the chorale's text and famous melody more than others in the cycle. It's nice to have not only a recent death, but also this "birthday" on the Main page. And a rainbow in my places. I normally don't like to point at the calendar day for a liturgical piece, but today is a day of personal celebration, making me deliberately inconsistent. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:10, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Christof Nel? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:22, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Storye book (talk) 17:31, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

... and the it was the wrong person, and deleted, but what about the other? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:56, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand it either. I first uploaded a pic of the wrong person (glasses and big curly hair), then the right person (no glasses, chin on hand). Then I asked an admin to delete just the first one. Can you confirm that the second one was the right person? Storye book (talk) 09:23, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I found this pic, of a person I never met, nor even saw pictured before. I saw the "wrong" pic in the article briefly, yesterday, and guess it's from the Mozart Requiem news with two men and a woman. You will be able to tell if the one with glasses is the right person. The reasoning for the deletion (below on this talk) remains Chinese to me. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:49, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yikes, you found a really crazy photo! Quite scary. I have now replaced the deleted image, and I believe that the new pic is the right person. Here is the source: [1]. I have asked the deleter to explain what went wrong yesterday. I hope all is well now. Storye book (talk) 10:02, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seen and liked as soon as I asked ;) - Thank you for all the work you put into this, - the best part of memorials! - The soprano is on the Main page, but today's story is about education (10 years after lecturing our founder), and tomorrow's will be Walter Fink, with the five composers in a DYK hook, in the golden times when the K in DYK still meant knowledge. I hope she'll stay on the Main page until 17 August, and if not, a day sooner or later doesn't matter. I also uploaded pics, the private ones, poppy field - piano - French food outdoors, - the latter was a coolish day with tremendous rain which doesn't show, - wanted to go to an outdoor opera, German premiere of a new Finnish comedy, but it was just too uncomfortable. - Music for today's feast is Monteverdi, the best concert we ever did (so pictured again on my talk), but it wasn't recorded, substituted with a "Pacific" one that comes with subtitles line by line in Latin and English: I learned something! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:51, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
