Hello, and welcome! just noticed you did some nice edits to Codex Las Huelgas, which I started back in the day. Just wanted to say welcome, and enjoy. I'm not around much, but when I edited here a lot I found User:Antandrus to be both very knowledgeable and very friendly, so if you have any questions, you might ask him. I'll leave the welcome "template" below, because it has some useful links on it. Best, Mak (talk) 21:15, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi Books & Bytes recipients: The Wikipedia Library has been expanding rapidly and we need some help! We currently have 10 signups for free account access open and several more in the works... In order to help with those signups, distribute access codes, and manage accounts we'll need 2-3 more Account Coordinators.
It takes about an hour to get up and running and then only takes a couple hours per week, flexible depending upon your schedule and routine. If you're interested in helping out, please drop a note in the next week at my talk page or shoot me an email at: jorlowitzgmail.com. Thanks and cheers, Jake Ocaasi via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 23:41, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

I have given up my JSTOR access via Wikipedia as I have been offered access via my alumni association. -Thoughtfortheday (talk) 20:57, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
Were crossing article a fair bit in the last few weeks, so saying hello. Nice work on Marie-Hortense Fiquet and José Lázaro Galdiano. I see you are new to en.wiki, any problems or help needed, give me a shout on my talk. Best. Ceoil 21:03, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
Ciao! Thanks for your help at Merida Theatre... I had given it some attention last year, but honestly I missed to notice how poorly written it was. I tried to cleanup some illiterate parts which were remaining. Let me know if you think it's OK now. Ciao and good work. --'''Attilios''' (talk) 17:35, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
I like that category! I added Handels Utrecht Te Deum and Jubilate, because the Jubilate is an elaborate setting of a psalm. But the Te deum is not. How about the Bach cantatas which contain (for example) one verse of a psalm as one of six movements? Perhaps the category article might explain? - I'll watch here. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:06, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

In recognition of all the work you’ve done lately! 66.87.0.115 (talk) 20:48, 31 March 2012 (UTC) |
Thanks for improving. But please find another term for "sacred sibling". I personally think that the average reader can handle the math that 11 is slightly higher than 7 without being told ;) - Wolff thinks that Picander may have been the author also of the sacred cantata BECAUSE he wrote the other,- that's why I didn't mention him earlier. Chronologically, BWV 193a should come first, - but that music is lost. What can we do? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:18, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
No worries. Inspired by your edit to List of fugal works by Johann Sebastian Bach, I decided to check Category:Compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach to find out what was new, so to speak, and that's how I found your userspace page. Graham87 10:13, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
After you expanded the article nicely, I nominated it for DYK, please watch the discussion and answer, perhaps you can propose a better hook? (I usually wait for a reviewer to say something.) I would like to add the pic of "Young Bach" as in BWV 150 but it needs to be in the article. The church pic is not good. Please add a few more inline citations, they can be doubled by just mentioning their name. Good luck! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:22, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

The fact was ... that Johann Sebastian Bach composed the cantata Aus der Tiefen rufe ich, Herr, zu dir, BWV 131, as a young organist at Mühlhausen's Divi Blasii church? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Aus der Tiefen rufe ich, Herr, zu dir, BWV 131. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

Hi Thoughtfortheday, I'm writing about your latest edit in Armide referring to " a homosexual scandal". Since the source I had cited (Le magazin de l'opéra baroque) makes no mention of a homosexual scandal (however well known Lully's sexual orientation may have been), I was wondering whether you could update sources as well, citing a more appropriate one. Thanks.--Jeanambr (talk) 05:30, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
Continued from above. I converted the recordings to tables and tried to structure a bit. We should now look at each section, make things a bit more logical - it shows that the article grew since 2005, and things were added here and there, some almost contradicting each other. We also need more lead, then we can go for GA. In the next step, I suggest to have more background, about Bach at the time, perhaps also at his colleagues and their works, his models? - and I would like a look at his later cantatas on purely chorale text, - but those steps only after it's GA. Looking for images is another task which can start right now. Compare BWV 165, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:41, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello. My edit on the current FAC resolved a sneaky syntactic ambiguity regarding the referent of the pronoun "he" (i.e., was "he" Bach or was "he" Pachelbel); yours removed content (the fact that JSB & P never met). I'm struggling to think of a congenial way to present this request (given that you can't see my face to know that I'm not being snippy or anything like that), but I think perhaps you should consider self-reverting your edit here.

I looked at the refs and found two not in the style of the others, one is about the doubtful image, and is the same for the other FAs, the other the Grove online ref. I tried formatting:

I am in the process of going over the other early cantatas, today BWV 196. There's this interesting idea that Bach may have composed it for his own wedding, - however, I don't find that in any of the sources I consulted. Did I miss something? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:05, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
Looking at that one, I noticed how often - starting in the lead - it says what it is not, - can you add positively to the lead what it is? Bach's first printed work, as far as I understand. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:27, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello. I was looking at the article for John Dowland's Second book of Songs which is largely your work (for which, thanks). I have been trying to change the page name the title of the book, which does not have an archaic 'e' in the word 'songs' (but is does in 'booke') in the original print. I don't have the editing skills to change that though. Maybe you can.

Please don't write any articles about the churches in Stevenage, because I've been working hard on them in my userspace for a while already (as well as some other historic aspects of the town). I don't know if I'm allowed to request that, but I'm.... nervous! Thanks :-) anemoneprojectors 00:16, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

Regarding your sandbox suggestion, I'd be more interested in having a look at things once you've produced a few articles this way. Once you've done another half dozen articles, say, give me a ping and I have a look at what shape they were in when you put them into mainspace, and what the community has had to add to it since. That way, I keep a nice high-level overview of what's going on. How does that sound? Schwede66 06:24, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
Do you think it's worth adding a subcategory to Category:Churches in Hertfordshire for churches with a spike? Cabayi (talk) 14:50, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi. I'm a New Page Reviewer. I was going to ask you to clarify your thinking when you created two pages relating to Honister Crag and Honister Crag SSSI, as this wouldn't normally be accepted. However, knowing the area a bit, and having an interest in SSSIs, I looked into it a bit further, and it's clear from the MAGIC website that the SSSI designation incorporates Fleetwith Pike too (see here). So, I wonder if you could make this distinction clearer on both pages, especially if you want to avoid someone slapping on a merge request, or simply blanking one page and creating a redirect again?
You might also like to take the opportunity to use the SSSI citation to add more background information on the crag and its biodiversity here; see a site map of the designation (which includes Fleetwith Pike) here and perhaps link to a source on management issues here and maybe refer to the rock climbs on the Honister Crag page see here and here.

Redirecting a term to the article a reader is most likely to want to see, is not discriminatory. It is Wikipedia policy (see also WP:TWODABS). Where there is potential ambiguity in a title, or in a term that is redirected to a particular page, but there is an obvious primary topic, then you can place a hatnote on the page to help the small number of readers who wanted to go somewhere else. It isn't clear that this would be useful to direct people to a pointless uncited stub that you just created, but if the stub survives then nobody can really complain about a hatnote. Lastly, the re-targetting of a redirect that is already linked from multiple articles to point to something else breaks all those articles, so that in itself is reason to revert to the original redirect. Please familiarise yourself with these policies before making an even bigger mess. Lithopsian (talk) 22:04, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

Hello, Thoughtfortheday,
Thanks for creating The Gordon Monument (Waterloo)! I edit here too, under the username Girth Summit and it's nice to meet you :-)
I wanted to let you know that I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:-
I had a look online, and found a few sources that might be useful to expand this and improve the verifiability. I've also moved the article to The Gordon Monument (Waterloo), because I found quite a few other 'Gordon Monuments' while searching.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Girth Summit}}
. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~
. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Thank you for this edit. To aid those who work on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Encyclopaedia Britannica please use the template {{Cite EB1911}}
if you wish to link to a Wikisource:EB1911 article. It places Wikipedia articles into various maintenance categories and for you it automatically adds the standard (editor, date, encyclopaedia name etc):
{{Cite EB1911 |wstitle=Valencia (Venezuela) |volume=27 |page=846}}
There are other specific options which you will find documented in the template documentation page. There are also two other templates: {{EB1911}}
which provides attribution for use if you copy text from EB1911 directly into an article (see WP:FREECOPYING); and {{EB1911 poster}}
as an alternative for a link in an external links section.
This was not a very helpful redirect to set up, as the two collections are by no means the same thing. Linking to it at Arnolfini Portrait for example is downright misleading for the reader, as like many other famous paintings this left the collection well before the museum was set up. I am reverting inmappropriate uses (of which you seem to have done many), and am likely either to nominate the redirect for deletion, or to start a proper article on the subject.

Hello, I see on your user page that you use JSTOR and I'd like to know more about your experience. By my calculations, a good 70 % of the main JSTOR content is now available for everyone at Internet Archive Scholar, with full text search provided e.g. at https://scholar.archive.org/ . The service is still in beta, but I've used it for some source-finding and it seems quite usable to me; I wonder whether that's just my experience. If you have a chance, the next time you'd be looking for a source on Google Scholar or JSTOR or similar, to perform the same search on IA scholar instead, I'd be curious to hear how it ends up.

Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.
Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.
Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:34, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Thoughtfortheday. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Rocío Márquez, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.
If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 09:02, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
You did provide information which helps identify the source of the material in your edit. It appears to be Kelham. Copying within Wikipedia is acceptable but we have a guideline on how it must be attributed.
This type of edit does get picked up by Copy Patrol and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. However, for future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia? In particular, linking to the source article and adding the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved.
While best practices are that attribution should be added to the edit summary at the time the edit is made, the linked article on best practices describes the appropriate steps to add attribution after the fact. I hope you will do so.
I've noticed that this guideline is not very well known, even among editors with tens of thousands of edits, so it isn't surprising that I point this out to some veteran editors, but there are some t's that need to be crossed.~~~~ S Philbrick(Talk) 11:48, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Thoughtfortheday. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Rocío Márquez".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 09:12, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Request reason:
Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy, as far as I know. My IP address is 10.106.20.17. I imagine some vandalism has been committed by users of the library in Cumbria, England, but presumably people with an account need not be caught.
I am blocked from editing my Sandbox too - block is stated as applying to range 147.161.236.0/23.--Thoughtfortheday (talk) 13:13, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
Accept reason:
The library seems to be using a zscaler proxy(the IP range you give), probably for security. As a long time user I will give you a short term IPBE so you can resume editing. If you edit from the library frequently and need something longer term, please contact a checkuser(see WP:IPECPROXY). 331dot (talk) 09:14, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
