Thank you today for [[Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion]], "usually considered the first mature painting by the artist Francis Bacon."! I said that it's good timing above. --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt|talk]]) 10:50, 3 April 2026 (UTC)

: [[User talk:Gerda Arendt#Easter|Happy]] [[Easter Oratorio|Easter]]! --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt|talk]]) 15:31, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

:: Did you know that the article became FA because I was sooo frustrated that neither DYK nor OTD accepted it for Easter last year, the 300th anniversary? I have [[Gott fähret auf mit Jauchzen, BWV 43|a FAC open]], in case of interest, 300 on 14 May. There's little hope for a TFA that day but I would like it in best shape by then. - In the current arbcase, SchroCat said that he made only one comment in an infobox discussion in the last eight months, which says almost nothing because there weren't any. The last one I recall was the completely unneccessary one for [[Satie]], where the community confirmed what an IP had added, - imagine all the efforts that went into another discussion, causing friction again, could have been put into article writing! --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt|talk]]) 11:57, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

::The article looks very strong Gerda. I have a outstanding GA review that want to focus on for a bit, but would be delighted to look at the FAC maybe towards the end of next week. [[User:Ceoil|Ceoil]] ([[User talk:Ceoil#top|talk]]) 21:23, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

::: Thank you, and no rush! - Today's FA is [[Bridge]], - a broad topic by many. My father loved bridges, and I wrote a few articles with that in mind ([[Empress Elisabeth Bridge]], adding to [[Chain bridge]] and [[Müngsten Bridge]], the latter for childhood memory), and also thinking of bridges between people. - I brought two bios to [[Wikipedia:Main Page history/2026 April 17|the same page]], [[Christian Schwarz-Schilling]] and [[Bill Ramsey (singer)|Bill Ramsey]] whose regular ''Swingtime'' I used to hear in the car driving to choir rehearsals. --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt|talk]]) 18:55, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

::: Did you look at my story today, - a 2012 hook originally? -- What I worded in the arb workshop was intentionally "weak" (nothing actionable, or to be "enforced" - what a word!), and I intentionally encouraged to "think". I wanted to be brief to set an example. I could clarify: "voluntarily restrict themselves", - would that be better? I would like to talk to SchroCat, but am not welcome on his talk. I would like to know what he'd say now instead of what he told me (see my evidence) in 2023: "There is nothing to accept: your claim is false, but I suspect you already know that." The third part is insulting, unless I misunderstand something. - Did you know that I [[ Wikipedia talk:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Infoboxes/Proposed decision#We start today|invented the "limit of comments"]]? They turned it against me, but I came to consider it a blessing. I just wish it would be applied to all participants, for fairness. I think the method we found for Yeats - discussing the parameters - was promising. --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt|talk]]) 19:08, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

:Thanks. It's a recycled 2007 article however, and the real praise should go to the much missed [[User:Outriggr|Outriggr]] who knocked an info dump into coherent prose. Years ago. [[User:Ceoil|Ceoil]] ([[User talk:Ceoil#top|talk]]) 22:46, 3 April 2026 (UTC)
