A fact from Magnificat (Vivaldi) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 23 December 2019 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that one of the versions of Vivaldi's Magnificat included five arias to be performed by girl soloists from the Ospedale della Pietà orphanage, who were named in the score?

Biblical[edit]

Gerda: Bible is a proper noun, hence "Biblical". The lowercase version is used in a figurative sense. I think you're leaning on German here. Jmar67 (talk) 11:59, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Probably, but I know enough people who'd say "the bible", like "the hymnal", or "the novel". --

If they are RS, OK. But it's an error as far as I'm concerned. Jmar67 (talk) 12:16, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bolding of RV numbers[edit]

Gerda: Do not understand. You shouldn't be using this as a personal reminder (?). Jmar67 (talk) 12:03, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Incoming redirects appear bold, compare BWV 56. I created them now. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:07, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Beginning to get it, but the first occurrence of RV 610 here is not bold? Jmar67 (talk) 12:21, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, sigh, repeated problem: the first time carries the link, and we shouldn't link from something bold. If you have a good solution, highly welcome! The Bach cantatas have it this way and that way, depending on who wrote them. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:39, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Gerda, please stop confusing fellow-editors: the lead sentence of BWV 56 is an example of how it should not be done: extremely cluttered, unattractive to read, and not conforming to actual guidance on several levels. E.g., from MOS:LEADSENTENCE: "Be wary of cluttering the first sentence with a long parenthesis containing alternative spellings, pronunciations, etc., which can make the sentence difficult to actually read..." --Francis Schonken (talk) 03:55, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your kind message. Sorry, the audio files are awful. They were removed for that reason. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:03, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
