Student stuff

Re: Shuo1103. Certainly I understand. My class syllabi clearly state that unreferenced content does not count for our course credit. Mind you, not all students read the syllabi, understand instructions or follow them. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:40, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

@Piotrus: Sure, students will always be students ... it takes all sorts! Graham87 (talk) 11:43, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

@Drmies: Thanks ... oh yes! I've had them at Wikimanias but they've gotta be best fresh in their country of origin! Graham87 (talk) 17:51, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

I'm so happy that one of the real things will be me! - Today's TFA, Felix M. Warburg House, was written by Vami_IV and Epicgenius, introduced: "This article is about another of the great houses that once lined Fifth Avenue in New York. Specifically, this is the mansion of Felix M. Warburg, a Jewish financier who ignored fears of anti-Semitic reprisal to his decided to build himself a big Gothic manor in the middle of New York City. Although the Warburgs no longer remain, their legacy does: the museum is now the home of the Jewish Museum (Manhattan) and the building largely survives as they left it. It's a beautiful building and I hope you will all enjoy it."! - in memory --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:33, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

It was so great to meet you and your mother yesterday Graham. I hope you enjoy the rest of your travels! the wub "?!" 09:18, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks very much, it was good to meet everyone there! We had a great time! Graham87 (talk) 13:27, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

I like to hear that! - today's story has a pic of a woman holding her cat, a DYK of 5 years ago - the recent pics show 2 orange tip butterflies --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:53, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Cool. We're just back from among other things an evensong service at Westminster Abbey, which was amazing ... the highlight for me being "O God, the King of Glory" by Orlando Gibbons. Tomorrow we'll be hearing Monteverdi's Vespro della Beata Vergine! Graham87 (talk) 18:35, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

I listened to the Gibbons, impressed, didn't know. Don't miss reading the article about the Vespers, probably the achievement I'm proudest here, and impossible without the sources that Brianboulton passed to me when he realised that He wouldn't be able to write it. - Dear friends who came to listen to our Bach concert bought tickets to listen to Gardiner conducting Bach in Advent, in Konzerthaus Dortmund, where their last invitation had been - The Vespro della Beata Vergine, with Philippe Herreweghe. I was amazed how much of the music he assigned to solo voices. The most extreme Vespers were with just 10 singers, the minimum because Nisi Dominus is four two four-part choirs and two tenors singing cantus firmus. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:23, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Oh you bet I have; it's helped me greatly to prepare for the concert. It's at the Barbican Centre by The Sixteen, so relatively small-scale too. I didn't know the Gibbons piece either before today's order of service was announced a few weeks ago. Graham87 (talk) 19:53, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
