Happy Easter! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:15, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

Today is the last day Easter Oratorio is on the main page, - did you know that the article became FA because I was sooo frustrated that neither DYK nor OTD accepted it for Easter last year, the 300th anniversary? Thank you for trying a hook last year! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:39, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for help with Schwarz-Schilling and Adorf! Do you think you could translate de:Hessischer Friedenspreis? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:39, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

The prize deserves an English Wikipedia article. It's not so easy with peace, see Abiy Ahmed, recipient 2019, withdrawn 2022. Grimes2 13:27, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

Thank you! - Today's FA is Bridge, - a broad topic by many. My father loved bridges, and I wrote a few articles with that in mind (Empress Elisabeth Bridge, adding to Chain bridge and Müngsten Bridge, the latter for childhood memory), and also thinking of bridges between people. - I brought two bios to the same page, Christian Schwarz-Schilling and Bill Ramsey whose regular Swingtime I used to hear in the car driving to choir rehearsals. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:11, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

ps: listening to the hr sinfonieorchester concert, intermission --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:13, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip. Sacre was good. Grimes2 20:19, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

Today's story is about one of three bios I brought to today's main page: look and listen, an extraordinary woman in many respects. - Next tip: Hamm's birthday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:42, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

Thank you soooo much for the last three! - Die Stechardin made it to the main page. The historic woman was a flower seller ... --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:30, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Can you please source the Lott video recordings? Everything else has a ref now, I believe. I have rehearsal today. Consider coming 30 or 31 May to an interesting version of Psalm 100! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:25, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

There were more recordings in the version before this one. And there's a Guardian obit I had no time to even look at. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:42, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for more refs and improvements! - My story. If you have time, listen to her singing Friendly Vision. If you have more, listen until she sings the word "peace" (Frieden), floating up high, serenely. --

Links to draft articles

Please do not introduce links to draft articles in actual articles, as you did to Frankfurt International Airport Terminal 1. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 20:34, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

I didn't do that, it was Jlittlebigbeard. Grimes2 20:37, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

Stefan Hoops

Hello, I hope you're well! My name is Theo, and I work at DWS Group. I came across your profile as I noticed you have previously contributed to the Deutsche Bank page. I'm currently working on a draft article for DWS CEO Stefan Hoops.

I am very mindful of COI guidelines and want to go about this the right way. The community has been helpful so far, sharing constructive feedback. Given your experience I wanted to ask if you would be happy to review the article and suggest any feedback? – Following the comments of others, I’ve reworked the article, focusing on high quality sources.

Any thoughts or pointers you could offer would be enormously appreciated.

Thank you! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Stefan_Hoops
