For your frequent, excellent, and appreciated work to create and improve biographical articles about women, especially women artists. CT55555(talk) 17:56, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oh gosh, thank you, CT. I'm so glad to have a colleague like you here! Netherzone (talk) 17:58, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
WP Visual Arts barnstar
The WikiProject Barnstar
For your continued contributions to WP Visual Arts. Here's to more projects together. Ppt91talk 17:00, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
ps. I meant to give you this last week! Ppt91talk 17:00, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello and thank you! That is so kind. Sorry I haven't given more attention to the article on Joseph the historical art model. I've become distracted by other wiki-tasks. I'm happy to have visual arts oriented fellow editors here! Netherzone (talk) 17:16, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Netherzone No worries at all! I'm always grateful for your feedback, though I certainly did not intend for this barnstar to come off as any kind of reminder re that article (I hope it didn't). Either way, excited for future projects, big and small. :-) Ppt91talk 17:29, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not at all perceived as a reminder, it's that the Joseph article is at the "back of my mind" at the moment. Sending you good cheer... Netherzone (talk) 17:44, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
My story today is about the Alchymic Quartet, - I went away from DYK but it's the last one from last year. - The songs are about vacation, continued. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:05, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Grape Hyacinth in an urban gardenThank you! The title of the piece and description peaked my imagination, which led me to find a recording online - came across this concert that was in Munich (maybe you were there?)[1]. The Alchymic Quartet is the 8th piece played in the video and I just listened to it! Brilliant and dynamic. Thank you for sharing and for bringing new music into my life! Here are some grape hyacinths (muscari) for you from my garden, they are starting to bloom in the sunnier spots. Enjoy the spring! Netherzone (talk) 18:45, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, - yes I was there and took pictures, just not after that piece, sadly. Performers pictured in the long line afterwards, with the chemist standing right before me (see my talk or the composer's article) - he rose immediately after the last note, leading the standing ovations. Don't miss his pic in the program ;) - thanks for the hyacinths, saw some yesterday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:15, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I absolutely love it that the chemist, Andrew Szydlo performed experiments during the performance! Such a fantastic blending of art and science. Netherzone (talk) 13:23, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So do I. Only: while I was there 5 Nov, I couldn't make 4 Nov also - the one with the experiments - because our friends from OREYA came for a concert I wanted to support by presence. They didn't want money but warm clothes, and received more than their bus could carry, so it was sent with a truck together with other help. - If you have a minute: could you check if you can support our nomination for RD for the countertenor No. 2? Last day today, I was held up by vacation. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:37, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I made an exception from my DYK abstinence for Good Friday, - see my story today. Interesting to compare a hook 2023 style to one in 2012 (see my story today). - I sang, including chorales from Bach's greatest Passion. I recently listened to one by Homilius: a discovery! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:55, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Gerda! Thanks for your most recent work for the encyclopedia, it'a always great to learn about classical music and opera from you, I really appreciate your keeping in touch with others the way you do. I want to share with you that one of my article creations on a dynamic woman, Nora Forster, is on the main page today, ITN. She was a rock music promoter and all around muse for her husband, John Lydon who took care of her up until the end when she died from Alzheimers. He speaks so dearly of her in his autobiography. A sad loss of a dynamic woman. Here's to those who brought music to the world! Have a nice weekend. It's beautiful here today, off now to the farmers market. Netherzone (talk) 14:12, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Bless you! I saw "German" and felt I had to work, but saw it well referenced! - I added a day to the vacation pics, a hiking day, getting wet --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:10, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I loved to see Marian Anderson and her story of protest against discrimination by singing on Easter Sunday 9 April 1939 on the Main page yesterday. Impressions of Easter here and music here. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:32, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I added, finally ;) - today's stories are about Johanna Geisler and Huub Oosterhuis, a singer and a songwriter. More here if you have time. - If you have more: could you add refs to Karl Berger? I'm too tired. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:47, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Gerda, Happy May Day! I've been traveling the past two weeks and haven't been very active here. Thanks for keeping me up to date on your encyclopedia work. Will Misatango be featured on the Main page or is it something you will be performing in or attending? Netherzone (talk) 10:25, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
performing - if also Main page we never know, - I missed a nomination, but mentioned it with the Te Deum and will with the bandoneon player Helena Rüegg (which will not appear 6 May or 7, too late). That whole page has nothing to do with Main page but has music that I sang (in church or concert) or listened to or plan to listen to. I planned to see a staged Handel oratorio on Wednesday but now we have a rehearsal I feel I don't want to miss. The pic is a placeholder - no harp. Just a former concert with the four choirs, - we did Haydn's Die Schöpfung and two Karl Jenkins pieces before with the Belgians. Our towns are "sisters", and it was planned for the 50th anniversary of the partnership, but that was 2020, and you can imagine ... --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:45, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
GAR of Louise Nevelson
Hi @Netherzone! I've just started a GA-reassessment of Louise Nevelson and, given your interest in female art subjects, thought you might want to take a look. I think it's a really important article and correcting male-centered bias in art history is obviously critical, though there are multiple major issues. I am not sure how much time I will have over the next week to fully commit, but I'll do my best if there is some response from the community. Curious to hear your thoughts and whether you think it'd just make more sense to delist as B-class. Ppt91talk 19:12, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi~@Ppt91! I'll have a look at it. I've never worked on bringing an article to GA (I don't have a lot of confidence in my writing) but if I can be of service I will do what I can. Better coverage of women, esp. women artists (and great ones like Nevelson) is always of interest. BTW, I just came across this Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Missing articles by dictionary/Native American Women the other day, a ton o' redlinks for potential articles on Indigenous women, hopefully sources can be found. Happy spring to you. Netherzone (talk) 01:51, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Laughing so hard. When I saw this in the arts deletion sorting, my first thought was to ping you, @CT55555 since no one knows artists better... and then I saw the nom. At least I fully read it first. Hope you're well and enjoying spring. StarMississippi 20:34, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Star, good to hear from you, and happy spring to you as well! The past few days have certainly been gorgeous - it's energizing; today a little drizzly but the flowers like that. I saw the Picasshoe article a few days ago, did some searching online to see what I could find, and decided to wait until I could take the time to do a deeper search. This mornings search didn't reveal anything in depth. They certainly seem like a hardworking young artist, who knows, in a few more years maybe they will be ready for an article. But yes, their pseudonym cracked me up when I first read it which I think is their intention. I wish them all the best in their future career. Hope all is going very well in your world! Netherzone (talk) 22:41, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
All is well here too, thank you. I am also appreciating the drizzle as my allergies do not love the blooms as much as my eyes do.
Creative marketing in naming, gold star and yes I hope too that the time comes when sufficient coverage exists to include their work. StarMississippi 23:00, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
On 8 April 2023, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Nora Forster, which you created. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. Black Kite (talk) 11:55, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Whpq (talk) 01:10, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for letting me know, @Whpq. I'm sorry about my error with the upload. I'll continue to keep my eyes out for a fair use image - I've done several fairly exhaustive searches online.
The only image I can find that doesn't seem to be a press photo or have a Getty affiliation is a snapshot in John Lydon's book, Anger Is an Energy: My Life Uncensored. It's on the sixth page top left of the third folio of color plates with the caption: "Me and Nora on our boat." (Unfortunately, the color plate pages do not have page numbers (it's officially plate #60). The images themselves show up on a google book search, just the annotated caption here:[2]. The image has a photo credit with copyright John Rambo Stevens, who became Lydon's full-time manager, per pages 433-34 of same book.
Question for you if you have a moment (no rush): If a head shot of Forster is extracted from the snapshot, and uploaded under fair use specifications as a historical portrait of a deceased person, and is within fair use specs for size, etc. do you think this could be used? It seems likely to me, however I don't want to make the same mistake, and because the source is an off-line source of which I would make a scan of, I'm not sure it will be acceptable. Any advise would be deeply appreciated! Thanks in advance. Netherzone (talk) 14:44, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The reason Getty images (and other commercial photo agencies) are speedily deleted is because of WP:NFCC#2. These agencies are in the commercial business of licensing images to to illustrate articles, and our use is exactly that, to illustrate an article. A photo from Stevens, even used in a book, should be okay with the crop you have described. -- Whpq (talk) 14:52, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the quick reply! I don't think the use of the Steven's snapshot will harm any commercial opportunities of the creator, and it's very small and low resolution. I'll try uploading it later today. Netherzone (talk) 15:08, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Continued from April: I had a good story on coronation day: the Te Deum we sang that day (mentioned before). And the following day we sang it for the composer ;) - And today we remember a composer who created music especially for us! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:21, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Gerda! Thank you as always for sharing your fine contributions with me, and so many other editors. I always appreciate hearing from you. I recently returned from a fabulous trip to the UK to visit numerous megalithic sites. I shot a lot of photos, but need to go thru them first to decide which to upload to Commons and which to keep copyrighted for other use purposes. I returned to a garden full of flowers...the peonies will start to open soon. Netherzone (talk) 23:30, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you - that sounds exciting! - More pleasant music (heard today!) if you click on songs - did you know a string quartet with two cellos (and no article yet in English? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:52, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Holly it's ok to delete this file, it seems that there is now a copyright free image available. Thank you for attending to this. Netherzone (talk) 02:16, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for improving articles in May. - I had a good story on coronation day: the Te Deum we sang that day. And the following day we sang it for the composer ;)
I nominated Soňa Červená for GA just to give her a bit more exposure, and I took some pics of bright scenery - click on songs. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:30, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
