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. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:29, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241206172900","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-20241206172900-December_music","replies":[]}}-->
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) 17:10, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241216171000","author":"Gerda Arendt","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Gerda_Arendt-20241216171000-December_music","replies":[]}}-->

So sorry Gerda Arendt real life has continued to keep me off wp. At present my husband is dealing with health problems and I am unable to read the computer screen. When his recovery is completed, I will have eye surgery. Probably not until February. @Ipigott and Rosiestep: hope you all have a happy holiday. Perhaps someone who knows how can tag my page as busy in real life and I may respond to e-mail? Hope to be back soon.

As the years go by, problems like these occur more and more often. My wife had eye surgery a couple of years ago with amazing results. I hope your husband's problems are not too serious and wish him a speedy recovery. Take care of yourself and don't worry about Wikipedia. I'm sure when everything settles down again, you'll once again be one of our star contributors. All the very best for Christmas and the New Year.

@Rosiestep and Ipigott: Thank you both so much. I hope that your new year brings much joy. Both my husband and I are doing well, but as you say Ian, these things occur with age. I hope we both speedily recover as well. I appreciate you both so much. You too Gerda! May your holidays be full of love.

Best wishes for good vision! - Today it's another great woman, soprano Sigrid Kehl, and I found a 1963 Christmas Oratorio detail. 10 years earlier than that cycle, Bach wrote seven cantatas for the 1724 season, based on seven songs, - my focus this year.

I didn't have any luck finding much about Cherokee Nation politician Agnes Cowen. I am wondering if she may have died since she led language initiatives in the 1960s.

Hello SusunW:
2024 has wrapped up, and what a full year it was for WikiProject Women in Green! Over the past year, we hosted two edit-a-thons, one themed around women's history and another on women around the world. We also managed to achieve most of our 2024 annual goals, nominating 75 articles for GA, reviewing 64 GA nominations, nominating 8 articles for FAC, peer reviewing 3 articles and reviewing 10 FAC nominations. Excellent work, and thank you to everyone involved!
For 2025 we have a new set of goals for nominations and reviews. In particular, we would like to see more articles on our Hot 100 list being improved and nominated for GA this year. If you take a look at the list and see an article you are interested in contributing to, feel free to add it and yourself to our Hot 100 project discussion. You might even find someone interested in collaborating with you!
This year, as with every year, we hope you will join us in helping improve our coverage of women and women's works on this encyclopedia. Every contribution helps. We'll see you around!
