December music

 
story · music · places

Today's story comes from a DYK about a concert that fascinated me, and you can listen! For my taste, the hook has too little music - I miss the unusual scoring and the specific dedication - but it comes instead with a name good for viewcount. BWV 62? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:33, 6 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Today, listen to Sequenza XIV. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:35, 7 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

On the Main page today Jean Sibelius on his birthday. Listening to Beethoven's Fifth from the opening of Notre-Dame de Paris. We sang in choirs today. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:46, 8 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Listen today to the (new) Perplexities after Escher. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:45, 12 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

BWV 121? (for Christmas) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:07, 13 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Real-life busy-ness has been ramping all the way up recently but I will try to get to it when I have time. DanCherek (talk) 04:12, 15 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Understand, and it's for 26 December. Best wishes! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:22, 15 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Listen today to Beethoven's 3rd cello sonata, on his birthday - it was a hook in the 2020 DYK set when his 250th birthday was remembered. I picked a recording with Antônio Meneses, because he was on my sad list this year, and I was in Brazil (see places), and I love his playing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:16, 16 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
I come to fix the cellist's name, with a 10-years-old DYK and new pics - look for red birds --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:33, 18 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Lovely photos! DanCherek (talk) 23:36, 18 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Question from Chargoe (21:17, 6 December 2024)

Hi! I'm relatively new to editing on Wikipedia and I was wondering: what kinds of edits would warrant asking permission on the article's Talk Page beforehand? I assume minor copy edits are okay without asking, but I've noticed other users asking permission to edit seemingly small issues. What's generally the norm / where is the line? Thank you! --Chargoe (talk) 21:17, 6 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi Chargoe, typically everyone is encouraged to just be bold (see WP:BEBOLD) and go ahead and make the changes directly to the article. Some cases where it would be better to discuss on the talk page first might be if the editor has a conflict of interest regarding the subject (like if someone is a friend of the article's subject or an employee of a company), if the change seems particularly controversial and they anticipate that it might result in disagreement anyway, or if it has been previously discussed with no consensus to include, so a new discussion is needed. Hope that helps! DanCherek (talk) 16:55, 7 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

I am here again

I am here again with my problem, can you take a look at this report and see if 46% of copyvio found in Draft:High School Frenemy is okay. Best, Reading Beans, Duke of Rivia 19:06, 19 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, it looks like you're right. I've removed the synopsis, revdel'd, and left a message on the user's talk page. Thanks! DanCherek (talk) 01:03, 20 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
