My June pic has flowers that look like white balls when mature, each formed of many small flowers, and light green balls before, - the pic has several of both in contrast to dark background. If you read about St. Martin, Idstein, our church, you encounter three recent pics, on top of a concert that Franz Josef Hamm arranged for his 90th birthday (and invited everybody), a new one of our conductor giving us last uplift before the second concert of Forrest's Jubilate Deo, and at the bottom us taking standing ovations (but our conductor still at the keyboard at that time). The other conductor and the organist have an article. The music is quite breathtaking, and the organist (my choral conductor for decades) said we were better than what he had heard on the internet. No youtube upcoming, though, copyright, but I chose one for my story that day. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:01, 2 June 2026 (UTC) Reply
Brich dem Hungrigen dein Brot, BWV 39, is my story today: listen! - I returned from a festivity with a great vocal ensemble (in concert and service) and a new song by the birthday child, premiered by the congregation, - see music! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:31, 7 June 2026 (UTC) Reply
Yesterday was the former German Unity Day, installed when unity was just a dream. I had a story to match, and today, it's another one, with music by Bach and Mendelssohn to match, - a DYK hook 15 years ago, which seems like from a different world. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:58, 18 June 2026 (UTC) Reply
Today is the centenary of King Roger, an opera by Karol Szymanowski who is pictured on the main page, - my story with the trailer of the performance I saw. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:32, 19 June 2026 (UTC) Reply
soo great festival music if you click on music! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:24, 30 June 2026 (UTC) Reply
Well, you learn something new every day. I'd always thought that Aussie used the same spelling that we use here across the ditch in NZ! Grutness...wha? 15:43, 2 June 2026 (UTC) Reply
- @Grutness: Yeah that one is indeed a bit odd and counterintuitive. I've always thought so since noticing it in Braille as a kid. Graham87 (talk) 15:54, 2 June 2026 (UTC) Reply
This seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle at Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion, but could an admin undelete everything at Special:Undelete/SIG 550? It contains quite a significant chunk of page history that should be history-merged with SIG SG 550; feel free to do the history merge too if you like (or I can do that bit; it's a fairly straightforward one once the undeletion is done. Thanks! Graham87 (talk) 03:13, 5 June 2026 (UTC) Reply
Another one that got lost in the shuffle at requests for undeletion: could someone undelete all the edits besides the final redirect edit at Post-viral fatigue syndrome Post-viral fatigue syndrome ? (Here's a direct link to the undeletion page). I didn't realise this last night my time when I submitted my request, but per the sizes in bytes of the deleted/undeleted revisions, there must've been a cut-and-paste move on that page so undeleting the edits would basically be doing a history merge. I found it while searching the list of articles created before their talk pages as part of this page for "syndrome", inspired by finding an old talk page relating to Ehlers–Danlos syndrome. Thanks!

Good listening in the story today - the image shows a bright flower close-up, with small rain drops -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:29, 12 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- @Gerda Arendt: It's always good to come back to that cantata, particularly the first and last movements. I love the way it goes from sublime calm to despair to ecstacy. Fairly soon I'll get to play on a Yamaha C7X grand piano recently installed near where I live, which led to an interesting music puzzle I posed on the reference desk, which has now been solved. It's taken up a lot of time though on my end... Graham87 (talk) 14:16, 12 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
Thank you for the updates to Showdown (sport) – I normally spell check the entire the article, and unsure why I did not yesterday afternoon although I did get distracted. I was trying to understand showdown from swish (now I have to photograph a swish table tomorrow), but the article had so many unsubstantiated statements. (Curious as to why all changes not done at once.) Thanks again,–Q8682 (talk) 02:50, 28 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- @Q8682: No worries. I usually edit section-by-section, but I was starting to regret not just editing the article all at once after a few edits to that page ... Graham87 (talk) 06:15, 28 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
Hi Graham87, thanks for posting the monthly list for inactivity desysoppings. I hope you're well! :) Acalamari 11:30, 1 August 2026 (UTC) Reply
- @Acalamari: No worries; I'll go and add them to the former admins pages now. I'm going well here; trust you are too. Long time no talk. Graham87 (talk) 11:34, 1 August 2026 (UTC) Reply
- Awesome, thank you for doing all that, too! Yep, same, thank you! We might not interact much but I see your name come up in my watchlist all the time, always busy, so thanks for your many contributions and high activity! Acalamari 11:52, 1 August 2026 (UTC) Reply

You would have loved yesterday's concert. The image shows tall flowers, a bit off-white and of healing powers. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:19, 9 August 2026 (UTC) Reply
- @Gerda Arendt: Oh yes, I love Voces8 and that program sounds amazing! I assume the English Suite was the 2nd bourrée from English Suite No. 2, per the Jazz Sebastian Bach article. Graham87 (talk) 14:50, 9 August 2026 (UTC) Reply
- Thank you, and you'll be right about thee Suite, - it was one of a few pieces that were changed compared with the printed program and only announced in speaking, - also highly entertaining! Next time you come we have to "see" the church. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:04, 9 August 2026 (UTC) Reply
B/c you're the GOAT! (sorry forgot how I landed here but mustve been a wicked edit/page :)
