The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ernest Prestwich. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Ernest Prestwich), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

File:Mill Hill Chapel Leeds A (3).JPG

Hope all is well! Just thought you might like to know that when booking my ticket for Competing Churches and Chapels, 1829–1939 (A Joint Conference of the Ecclesiological Society and the Chapels Society) here, I noticed your pic used as the header image. Although the grey border cuts it off on this page, there is some text correctly crediting you at the bottom of the full image of the Ecclesiological Society.

Ooh, thank you, Nice one. It's a pity that the Eventbrite link no longer works, but it's good to know, anyway. Over the years I've spotted a few of my pics being used, and there is rarely any acknowledgment. Two of the naughtiest were newspapers - they should have known better, haha. As for the chapel in the picture, it has now lost its graceful rows of spires around the tops of the walls. It was very pretty once. I hope you have managed to get inside. its poppy heads are very fine work. Storye book (talk) 10:39, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

June music

story · music · places

Thank you for the Faerber pic! More roses for you! For related thoughts and music, look on my talk for 1 June. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:06, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Enjoy today's story, related to my topic of the year: 300 years Bach's chorale cantatas, and the first was written for today, - listen to the music, beginning with a French overture for a chorale fantasy. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:40, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. I'll have a look. Storye book (talk) 13:46, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Franz Kafka died 100 years ago OTD, hence the story. I uploaded a few pics from the visit of Graham87. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:45, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Alexander Lang? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:22, 4 June 2024 (UTC) [1] --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:27, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Lang done. Pretty picture, this time! Storye book (talk) 18:47, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Agree, thank you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:13, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

I get more and more fascinated with that person! The German WP has two sons and a daughter, and I find only one in references we can use. - Anna and Bernhard Blume? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:29, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Blumes done. Nice pic, I think? We are lucky to get that. Storye book (talk) 15:04, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Yes, thank you so much! - Today's story is about an extraordinary biography, Peter Demetz. - I uploaded a few more pics but leave the link, because there's a new one of Graham and his mother who liked it. Monika Frimmer? (take your time, I just don't want to forget.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:20, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Frimmer done. I found another nice pic. Storye book (talk) 08:21, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

yess - I remember her on stage --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:08, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Always precious

Ten years ago, you were found precious. That's what you are, always. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:57, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! Storye book (talk) 08:21, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

New pics of spectacular weather. I really like the image of Alexander Lang, on the Main page. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:25, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Almost 10k views for Lang yesterday, and all will have seen your pic! Could you perhaps crop Katja Paryla from File:Bundesarchiv Bild 183-W0519-0028, Berlin, 80. Geburtstag Wolfgang Heinz.jpg (centre) or find another one? de:Annette Reber, for fairness? The second woman with him has no article, and the third we don't know. - Congrats to the double DYK! - Any thoughts about the Kerck nom? I don't mean approval, just clarification. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:06, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

The Katna Paryla job has already been done today, by Lotje. I'll have a look at the other things. Storye book (talk) 08:41, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

I have discovered that we are not permitted to upload non-free images onto English Wikipedia if they are intended for German Wkiipedia articles. Sorry. I did find an image here, if that helps. Storye book (talk) 08:56, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

OK I have looked at the nom. I am sick and tired of certain people stalking your nominations and distracting the conversation because they have never heard of Puccini, and they think that mere facts given by a theatre company are all necessarily promotional. There is nothing promotional about saying that a composer wrote this opera, and a singer sang that role. If they had included adjectives, such as "brilliant" or "very fine", then that would be promotional, but facts of composition and roles are not promotional. That's my opinion, anyway. The one thing we can be sure of, is that the great theatres have no need to lie about basic facts - so we can pick and choose those basic facts and repeat them safely. Again, just my opinion. I believe that the principle here is that WP rules need to be used with common sense, and not just tools for winning arguments. Storye book (talk) 09:13, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. The crop was made in 2019 by someone else, and I happily inserted in Lang's article and will begin her article shortly.

The Reber pic helps, - while that is probably not a RS, I can use it as external link when I write her article.

I'd like to keep the discussion within that nom, but if it isn't solved there I'll go higher. Questioning ethical use of sources is just too much to silently let go by. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:39, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I agree with that. Storye book (talk) 15:29, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
