July music[edit]

| my story today |
Listening to Siegfried from the 2023 Bayreuth Festival, third act, Andreas Schager as Siegfried waking up Brünnhilde, reminded me of this discussion. Was there anything in it demanding arbitration? - A few weeks later, three participants were admonished, - for what still remains a mystery to me? -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:24, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: Thanks for the information and for leading me to think about music—but why are you resurrecting an embittered infobox disagreement from ten years ago? That can't possibly be helpful or healthy to do, and in any event, please don't do it here. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 13:28, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
- I am surprised why you would think that exchange of thoughts was "embittered". To me, it was a playful educated respectful discussion, and I still wonder how the arbs of ten years ago (and you were one of them) didn't see that, as a sign of hope. My new year's resolution was that the infobox wars - if they ever existed - should come to an end. I picked the flower image to express resilience, and the hope that it is not impossible. Where are we today, and what can we do?
- The reason for the arbcase was resistance against the then new {{infobox opera}}, which was still questioned in the discussion, but resolved (not immediately but two years later). Today, 1,667 inclusions are counted, and recently, it has been questioned only sporadically. Composers were another topic. Bach, Beethoven, Chopin ... have an infobox, and as of 2023, also Mozart. Please see the discussion. Now: what can we do for even more peace? I don't believe that RfCs repeating more or less the same arguments for different biographies are a good idea - right now Richard Wagner. I left the topic in 2016, as you may remember, but am watching with interest - and hope. Any ideas? - My story today is Jahrhundertring, a 2013 article, and yes, written in defiance ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:58, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: I think you think far too much about infoboxes. I don't want to hear about them any more. Newyorkbrad (talk) 15:41, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
- I don't think much about infoboxes, but as you wish. What I think about are subjects who recently died, such as all weekend of Martin Walser, because his article was highlighting controversies instead of literature. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:50, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

My story today - a first - isn't about an article by me, but one I reviewed for DYK, see here. I like all: topic, "hook", connected article (a GA on its way towards FA), image and the music "in the background". I just returned from a weekend with two weddings, so also like the spirit ;) -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:11, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
