Draft:Christmas carp

Hello! I just noticed that there was no article for the tradition of the Christmas carp. I quickly translated it from German. Perhaps you are interested? It would be a great article for Christmas Eve. Best, Thriley (talk) 22:14, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) Oh, do stop carping on, Thriley. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:25, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

January music

Happy new year 2025, opened with trumpet fanfares that first sounded OTD in 1725 (as the Main page has). -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:20, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Liebster Immanuel, Herzog der Frommen, BWV 123, my story today 300 years after the first performance, is up for GAN. Dada Masilo will be my story tomorrow. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:20, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My story today is about a composer who influenced music history also by writing. Thank you for your help! Your work for the recent deaths articles is amazing! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:59, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for what you already did for Otto Schenk! Can you perhaps do an Awards section based on de? Sarvat has several honours, and Nestroy has to be mentioned somehow ;) - I'll try to add to opera, but have rehearsal tonight, - perhaps the best time to avoid edit conflicts. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:15, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

... and today, pictured on the Main page, Tosca, in memory of her first appearance on stage OTD in 1900, and of principal author Brian Boulton. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:41, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today I had a composer (trumpeter, conductor) on the main page who worked closely with another who just became GA, - small world! To celebrate: mostly flowers pics from vacation ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:18, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have more vacation pics to offer, and today's story of Werner Bardenhewer. I took the pic, and it was my DYK on his 90th birthday, in both English and German. He spent the day in Africa, and after his return said - chatting after a mass of thanks he celebrated at Mariä Heimsuchung - that we'd have to talk about these articles. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:43, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On the main page today, 300 years after its first performance, Bach's cantata BWV 125, - a lovely very intimate piece, with peace and joy in the title. Enjoy listening with score - I discovered that only now! - Today is also the birthday of James Joyce, who has an article by many authors. --(forgot to sign)

A precious piece of music. I enjoy hearing that music. Grimes2 (talk) 12:14, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:29, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

today: a German-born Spanish art collector, - the video in her honour is remarkable, as what she gave the world. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:36, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I find today's birthday child particularly inspiring, by enthusiasm and determination. That was - believe it or not - a pictured DYK in 2021, without the last line though. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:02, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's just amazing what you have done to improve the article of today's birthday child!! Expect one more edit summarising the Lied recordings, - then I'll have to turn to Lehmann. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:22, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Please post Edith Mathis in ITNRD with FAZ obit. Grimes2 (talk) 18:47, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I will, but Lehmann first. Mathis may come tomorrow unless you beat me to it ;) (... and I should first also take care of a mezzo who died 5 February, so more urgent) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:35, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
