Question from Dr.Decapod (23:17, 31 August 2024)

edit

Hello! I have question, I put hours of time and resources into fixing an old article up and someone keeps changing it based on their personal opinion and beliefs. I cite info and they remove it. What is the correct way to deal with this? --Dr.Decapod (talk) 23:17, 31 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi there. Wikipedia:Dispute resolution has more information about the best ways to deal with a situation like this. Essentially, discussing it with the other editor on the talk page of the article is best, and trying to reach a consensus that way. If there continues to be disagreements, then there are more ways to resolve content disputes (such as requesting a third opinion or trying the dispute resolution noticeboard), but these will typically require that a discussion has taken place on the talk page first.

What do you think of my short version of the life of Alexander Goehr? Our DYK team would probably want to mention that he worked in a training kibbutz, while I was happy to include a link to an article by Brian Boulton, - we sang the Monteverdi Vespers on 1 September 2019. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:31, 2 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

ps: next cantata Jesu, der du meine Seele, BWV 78, last movement, I trust that you'll find it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:33, 2 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

BWV 78.7
 
Getting better at finding it! Happy September. DanCherek (talk) 23:19, 2 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you so much! It's always the same site, you need the BWV no. (4 digits, leading zeros) and the movement number (and for most it should by now be among the external links. I corrected the German in the penultimate word, "ß".--Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:03, 3 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes I just look for it in the external links   DanCherek (talk) 23:40, 3 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you! - Today's story has 3 composers, I couldn't decide for the one on the Main page or the one who didn't make it on his bicentenary, so took both, and the pic has a third. Listen if you have a bit of time. The music, played by the Kyiv Symphony Orchestra in Germany in April 2022 impressed me. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:32, 4 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Recommended reading today: Frye Fire, by sadly missed Vami_IV. Next chorale from Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan, BWV 99. It's already a ref ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:02, 6 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Happy because my story today is about a Czech mezzo soprano who is mentioned on the Main page on her birthday. --Gerda Arendt (talk)
Happier about Bach's cantata on the Main page on its 300th birthday (per calendar), my story (again)! ... with you Lilypond, also in the new article about the hymn ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:27, 10 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yay! Will get to BWV 99 when I can (maybe tomorrow). DanCherek (talk) 02:52, 11 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Great! If you have time for only one until Sunday, I'd prefer BWV 8, - the other can wait until Tuesday, calendar date of it's first performance - while Bach and I go by liturgy ;) - always 9 days off this anniversary year --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:56, 11 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Three stories related to today in memory, 11 September, 20 July and 20 June, the latter piece of art also pictured on the Main page. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:07, 11 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hmm, the separate lyric lines for the different voices might be tricky... DanCherek (talk) 01:07, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
I can't tell if the little notes are supposed to be regular notes (bass, measure 4?), grace notes (soprano, measure 12?), or ossia (bass, measure 5?) DanCherek (talk) 01:26, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Also what is going on with the little note in the bass part in the first measure? DanCherek (talk) 01:39, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Lilypond for BWV 99.6 since I'm stuck on the other one. DanCherek (talk) 03:09, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

BWV 99.6
 

Thank you! I added a bit speed. Can the last note somehow sound a bit longer? - I'll move, prepare some food and be back for the other. One thing upfront: have text only for the soprano. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:47, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

I looked at that score. I was prepared by reading some of the article for a new kind of melody, in a setting that Bach took from some Mr. Vetter. I haven't listened, so don't know if the small notes in the bass are perhaps instrumental music of interludes. I'd ignore them. The little soprano thingy looks like a grace not, - take if not too complicated. IMSLP has a (19th-century) score that could be consulted. The article has a manuscript of what Bach took it from, File:Daniel Vetter Liebster Gott 91-92 1713.jpeg, but Bach changed, I read. No little notes in the bass. The soprano is different. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:56, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

How's this? DanCherek (talk) 00:29, 13 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
 

Oh how lovely and different! Is there a way od making that grace note a long one (half the length of the note it precedes), as usual in Baroque and Classic? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:59, 13 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yes, by creating separate scores for the layout and for the MIDI playback. See the new version above. (This is also how we could tell it to actually play back the repeated part, let me know if you want that.) DanCherek (talk) 23:20, 13 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Good to know! Yes please for repeat. - I am happy to have brought a choral conductor to DYK! Good video about his work for La Juive on my talk, - best announcemen: "Everybody as soft as possible". It's so nice to see the singers actually look at him (or the camera). That's what we should do tonight in concert ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:13, 14 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Done, above. DanCherek (talk) 03:57, 15 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Today is Schoenberg's 150th birthday! On display, portrayed by Egon Schiele, with music from Moses und Aron, and with two DYK hooks, one from 2010 and another from 2014; the latter, about his 40th birthday, appeared on his 140th birthday, which made me happy then and now again. - See places for a stunning sunrise, on the day Bruckner's 200th birthday was celebrated (just a few days late). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:37, 13 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

My story today is about a man who played jazz when it was banned by the Nazis, - you can listen to how they played it later. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:32, 17 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi Dan. [1] at article International Cultic Studies Association is a violation from this website [2]. I wondered if you could rev/del please. Knitsey (talk) 16:00, 2 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yes, done. Thanks! DanCherek (talk) 22:49, 2 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi Dan, sorry to bother you again but another user has added the information again [3] copied from [4] Knitsey (talk) 15:25, 5 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

That'll be five bucks. Drmies (talk) 15:31, 5 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
