Letting Go of the Past
It is frightening to let go
of the past. It is like letting go of something
that is precious. That includes the feeling for
everything that has been, and also, for what was
once a solid identity built on deprivation.
Letting go of the past
must be done gradually and with
special care;
one old belief at a time
and only one fear. ...
Thank you, Poeticbent

German-English

You asked for an English translation of "uneinsichtig, unbelehrbar und beratungsresistent". Without consulting a dictionary, I translate those words as "uninsightful, unteachable, and resistant to advice", but there may be a more nuanced or idiomatic meaning that I am missing. The single English word that comes to mind to describe that set of characteristics is "pig-headed" (that is probably not an English word you know, but I think it is a word you will enjoy). I also think of the Wikipedia item WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT.

Your English is much better than my Deutsch, so I am happy when I can help you expand your knowledge. I didn't respond on the page where you asked the question because I think it is a bad idea to continue the argument ("bickering") there. Also, I think it is best to avoid making accusations against people, because that often makes people angry, while failing to help them see the problem. (See Wikipedia:Avoid personal remarks.) --Orlady (talk) 14:54, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

I certainly enjoyed the new word and your sensible way of handling the case. I just asked words, didn't I? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:00, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

• Yeah, but "pig-headed" has more negative connotations than "hard-headed" or "stubborn". I will not choose a term to apply to this situation, per one of the above cited policies. Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:20, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

"impervious" rings a bell: "impervious to pain, up to a certain point" (The Fountainhead), --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:26, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Orlady, einsicht is indeed insight or understanding, but in this context uneinsichtig is nearer to "unreasonable". I suggest "unreasonable, incorrigible, and impervious to advice". Pig-headed is good. Moonraker (talk) 09:56, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

"There Was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe"

You mentioned this article on my talk page earlier. The reason I did a bit of work on it was partly because it was pretty poor, but more selfishly I wanted to start an article on the topic of concealed shoes, and I didn't it want it to be immediately tagged as an orphan; I hate those tags. I've emailed Northampton Museum asking if someone from there could take a look at the article, and it would be good if you and/or your talk-page stalkers could have a quick look through as well, to see if there's anything that could do with a bit more explanation. I'm not asking for any kind kind of formal review, just a quick eyeball to see if there's anything obviously missing, or that doesn't make sense.

Happy New Year Gerda

Dear Gerda, I am too busy thinking about all sorts of silly things and forgot to send you a greeting for the New Year, if such things amuse you. At any rate I'm glad to see you are still here and have not been distracted by the Wikifollies (!) I saw The Hobbit (film) on IMAX 3-d the other day and thought it was awesome. Snow is settling on Ipswich tonight so it all looks very pretty by streetlight, if cold underfoot. I hope you have yet another brilliant year in WP and of course (far more important) a brilliant year in the Reality (whatever you construe that to be) which is The Great Outside... If there is such a thing as a Jahresentwicklung I hope that yours will be frohlich. - Season's greetings, (Steven) Eebahgum (talk) 23:49, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Thank you, Steven, I appreciate your personal thoughts and wish you no less than the same! - I didn't send "individual" greetings but had Christmas music on my user, - a remnant is still there now like a motto: "ban complaining". It's not the same as "ban mourning", - look above and for sing praises ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 00:07, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Dudley Clarke and hurricanes

(from User talk:ErrantX)

can't be a hurricane, too similar to 16 December. - Do I get my points? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:56, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

H:-) Actually, I've played around with some figures at User:Bencherlite/TFA notepad - if we scheduled TFAs solely in proportion to the number of FAs still waiting their turn, we'd have 4 or 5 weather articles on the front page every quarter (18 or 19 in a year). I've scheduled Typhoon Rusa for 22nd January. As it is, I doubt we manage even three weather articles a quarter, meaning the backlog in that area increases. Similarly, I doubt we run 7–8 TV, film and media articles, 10–11 sports articles, 12–13 animal and plant articles, or 16–17 warfare (throughout history) articles per quarter either. I suspect if I look back at the first six months of 2013, I will find that we've "overepresented" art/architecture, literature, law, history and politics, and geography (again, based purely on the numbers in each category at Wikipedia:Featured articles that haven't been on the Main Page). Balancing the main page over time becomes even more fun when the need to consider fairness for different types of FA writer comes into the equation (something Raul touches upon in his FA thoughts. Regards, Bencherlite^Talk 11:28, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your balanced thoughts and the helpful notepad, appreciated ;) - with Messiah in mind (23 March), think about the postponed Tchaikovsky soon or much later, - there's also a mushroom prepared in WP:QAI/TFA - unless that little Phallus is another 1 April option. 28 January: the article is not Jane Austen, but reception history, I liked the former picture of the reading lady much better, to illustrate "reception" ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:40, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

I wondered about Messiah for Easter Sunday, in fact, rather than mark its London premiere (and third performance) almost a year after its premiere. OK, so 270 years is a round number, but not a particularly special round number. We'll see what people think in due course. I'm tempted to leave the contents of Wikipedia:Today's featured article/emergency alone, but I suspect that there will be another mushroom along soon, probably a classical music article of some description before too long (although going by the numbers again we're only "due" to have 1 classical music article per quarter or 5 per year, since the section is dominated by modern music). I think the photo of Jane Austen's face rather than her back (which could be anybody doing anything, not necessarily reading) is more appropriate in fact. But it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things - it's a luxury to have a choice of possible images! Bencherlite^Talk 12:01, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Messiah would be good on Good Friday, not Easter Sunday. Messiah had a Lenten premiere, the Passion the longest section, He was despised the longest movement, the resurrection just a brief recitative on an Old Testament Bible quote, - I said so last year, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:44, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

I was thinking about Crucifixion and Last Judgement diptych for Good Friday... plenty of time to sort everything out! Bencherlite^Talk 12:48, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Agree, as long as you don't pursue Easter Sunday for Messiah ;) - Brianboulton was for the London premiere, because it gets an extra point as a multiple of 5 anniversary - another pointless point. (I fixed the link above, perhaps you are interested in the history.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:54, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Try this, pursued without a reply. The decision processes of the English Wikipedia have an air of voodoo magic about them, subjectivity run out of control. For now, that seems to be in the nature of the place. Don't get too fond of it. Moonraker (talk) 16:41, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

The German Wikipedia is different. I started here, because the name of a friend was a red link, then found out that I can offer to more readers writing in English. I work in German also. Should we take one of your articles there? My latest in that direction: Little Moreton Hall, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:58, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Less prickly than the English, I hope. My German is so much worse than my English that I don't try to do much there. Schuster, bleib bei deinen Leisten! Moonraker (talk) 00:25, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

We could try an outline of hall house, which has been developed impressively from where I left it. It's a good subject which the German Wikipedia seems to be lacking, but I am not at all sure what the correct German page-name would be! Moonraker (talk) 01:03, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Classical Good Articles

Hi Gerda. Following your comment at WT:GAN I made a split at Wikipedia:Good articles/Music and separated out "classical compositions". Don't really know enough about the subject matter to be confident that I moved everything that should be in this new category. Not even sure if that is the best title. Feel free to change, move or fix anything there. AIRcorn (talk) 21:40, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for getting it started! What do you you think of moving "classical compositions" from "Albums" to "Other ...". "Doctor Who Prom (2008)" is a concert, probably not classical, - fine sorting otherwise. Once we are at it, the performers could possibly also be split in classical and others. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:53, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Fine by me. It is not really a subject area I spend much time in so was more hoping to get the ball rolling so others can work out the finer details. Did the songs previously so had a bit of a system anyway. Not sure about splitting classical any further. My general thinking is to keep the number of articles in categories between the 50 to 150 range. Like chairs categories are not much use if they are too big or too small. AIRcorn (talk) 02:19, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

The classical composers and performers are in a general section of 314. I could look them up. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:23, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Wagner/Holländer

Dear Gerda, please do not risk starting an edit war on this topic while the page is up for FA review. As it happens I agree the name should be changed, but as is also clear to you from recent discussions most others do not. If you want to change the main Wikipedia name for this opera, please make your arguments on the talk page of The Flying Dutchman (opera), Wikiproject Opera or other suitable locations. But don't provoke argument by doing this single-handed on the Richard Wagner page. Thank you.--Smerus (talk) 13:40, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

I am not in for an edit war. I only continued what Michael Bednarek started: Wagner didn't think of an English title. This has nothing to do with the name of that article. Repeating: in the FA Franz Kafka, ALL titles are German, with a piped link to the English article. Kafka wrote Das Schloss, not The Castle. Wagner wrote Der fliegende Holländer, not The Flying Dutchman. Both delegates studied Kafka, because one got so involved that he left it for the other to pass. Don't be afraid ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:54, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

So you say "the use of English titles in certain parts of Wagner's biography is decidedly odd", so what? It is standard practice to use English names where they are most common in English per WP:NAME. That's the "we". Paul B (talk) 15:20, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

p.s. As far as I am concerned the rule concerning titles should be followed with links in articles. Your opinion that he "really" wrote Der fliegende Holländer is irrelevant. There are many reasons for this policy, but the most important one is to avoid nationalistic squabbling. And by the way, La Traviata is perfectly correct in English and IMO that's how the page should be capitalised. Paul B (talk) 15:24, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Do me a favour: read before you comment. It was not me, but Michael Bednarek who said "the use of English titles in certain parts of Wagner's biography is decidedly odd". It is not my opinion that Wagner wrote in German, but fact. - Sorry, I don't know what squabbling means, but perhaps I don't want to know. - Project opera is responsible for La traviata, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:00, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Do me a favour. Look up the word "squabbling" if you don't know what it means. Sorry if I misread the author of the edit summary. It's easy to do. Your "argument" is just a repetition of your non-point. We use the most common names. Stravinsky wrote Les Noces in Russian, and yet the title's there in French (and I use that capitalisation because I think that's proper for English usage whatever Project opera may think). It's the common title as used in English. Paul B (talk) 19:44, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

I look up words I want to know. - I know what nationalistic means, it's the first time that's applied to me, and hard to take. I vote to use the original name when speaking about a composer's intentions in any language, last time Le Sacre du printemps, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:57, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Paul, I think you need to WP:AGF with Gerda here and not make rash overgeneralzations. Labeling someone "nationalistic" is generally rude, and in this case, VERY rude. This is a discussion about bringing a move discussion on one article into another one that is up for FA, nothing more. Montanabw^(talk) 01:28, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

@Paul Barlow: your opinion regarding the use of capital letters in titles of operas and works of classical music is clearly in contradiction to the guidelines of the relevant Wikipedia projects. The guidelines do explicitly not follow the most common names but those which are used in reputable publications and/or which follow an established naming scheme. Wikipedia's Manual of Style in general is like that: it doesn't follow the most wide-spread style details but picks some through consensus and then applies them consistently. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 03:50, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
