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)
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)
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)
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)
soo great festival music if you click on music! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:24, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
Program(me)
[edit]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)
- @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)
Quick undeletion needed
[edit]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)
Quick undeletion (2)
[edit]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? (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)
- @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)
