:::We can hope. In any case, the one I restored already looks almost certain to pass at this point, but think it never hurts to have multiple photos.

:::::::Hm. Difficult one as the causality could go both ways (more viewed articles having more effort put in to find images, and, of course, a featured picture is a guaranteed day on the main page). I suppose the simplest way is to compare after a change of image. Ideally, we'd want changes on this level: any different that isn't noticable in thumbnail would probably have a much more limited effect, and there's a lot of noise in the data. <span style="text-shadow:grey 0.118em 0.118em 0.118em; class=texhtml">'''[[User:Adam Cuerden|Adam Cuerden]]''' <sup>([[User talk:Adam Cuerden|talk]])</sup><sub>Has about 8.9% of all [[WP:FP|FPs]].</sub></span> 14:14, 22 July 2024 (UTC) |

The story is today about the first published composition by Arnold Schönberg which I was blessed to hear. Listen, and perhaps read what Alma Mahler (to-be-Mahler at the time, to be precise, who was present at the first performance) said, and yes that was too much for the Main page ;) -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:29, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
Today's story is about a Bach cantata premiered 300 years ago OTD. - A meeting of two women - the occasion of the cantata - is pictured in our local church. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:43, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
3 July is the birthday of Leoš Janáček, and I'm happy I had a meaningful DYK in 2021 which was about a woman ;) - It's also the birthday of Franz Kafka, and I uploaded pics from his family's album seen in Berlin. Proud to have had 2 women in green in June, and the third nom is in progress. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:43, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
Libuše Domanínská, the subject of yesterday's story, would have turned 100 today, but I missed that ;) - Overnight, Tamara Milashkina became GA and Lando Bartolini went to the Main page. I made my story about his almost unbelievable career, from Luigi in Il tabarro in Philadelphia in 1968 (with a nod to Liberty) up to Calaf in Turandot in Beijing in 1999 ;) - 4 July is also the birthday of Brian Boulton who was a pioneer of a concise infobox in 2013. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:20, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
Today's story is about an outstanding violinist from Georgia, which is a sad story in the end. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:59, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for all the links, Gerda Arendt. Plenty for me to check out after I'm back home on Tuesday. --Rosiestep (talk) 15:27, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- I remember today Bach's 1724 cantata for this Sunday which is unusual in many respects. Another woman needs attention for RD, Marina Kondratyeva. Great cat today! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:56, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Nice article about Marina. Glad you like that cat. Back home and playing catch-up. --Rosiestep (talk) 00:14, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- She's on the Main page now. My story today is - because of the anniversary of the premiere OTD in 1782 - about Die Entführung aus dem Serail, opera by Mozart, while yesterday's was - because of the TFA - about Les contes d'Hoffmann, opera by Offenbach, - so 3 times Mozart again if you click on "music" ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:14, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- She's my story today. What would you suggest for a DYK? Don't miss video ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:06, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Gerda Arendt, How about:
... that the Bolshoi Ballet's ballerina, Marina Kondratyeva, was described as "weightless"?
--Rosiestep (talk) 13:00, 18 July 2024 (UTC)- Thank you. I just nominated without a hook ;) - Feel free to donate there, but I believe the weightless thingy is already in the image. You might also review instead, because I need a merciful reviewer who ignores that the nom was 2 days late regarding the new article, and the expansion since 11 Jul was substantial but not exactly 5 times. Out for biking and concert now, - the things that keep me pleasantly busy from nominating in time. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:06, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yesterday I listened in concert to Mozart's Clarinet Quintet, with Sabine Meyer: a delight. - Today's story is about Ruth Hesse, with a pic in the article only, sadly. I found it difficult to point at a YouTube sample, because yes, her signature roles - the Nurse and Brangäne - exist in great full-length operas with great casts, but hard to find her. - Talking of YouTube: today I was pointed at Elijah by a friend who performed in the concert of the Dessoff Choirs in their centenary year, and I'm quite impressed by samples (beginning and No. 32 where I linked it) - enjoy! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:38, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Today's story is about a photographer who took iconic pictures, especially View from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on Manhattan, 9/11. If that's not enough my talk offers chamber music from two amazing concerts. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:55, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- That View photo was somewhere between startling and triggering. I wasn't aware that it existed. Thank you for sharing. --Rosiestep (talk) 09:11, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Gerda Arendt, How about:
- Nice article about Marina. Glad you like that cat. Back home and playing catch-up. --Rosiestep (talk) 00:14, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- I remember today Bach's 1724 cantata for this Sunday which is unusual in many respects. Another woman needs attention for RD, Marina Kondratyeva. Great cat today! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:56, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Hey Rosie, hope all is well. I've just finished an article on Elizabeth Harriet Davies, aka Happy Ned. It was fun to write, lots of research to sort it out, but I think in the end I have told her fascinating/tragic story fairly well. I have never had to give an entire poem in an article and so it seemed to me that it needed to be attributed as incorporating an entire text, rather than quoting a sentence. I went to your article from the Pan-American Conference of Women and copied what you did there. I don't know who wrote the articles in the Hampshire Telegraph & Sussex Chronicle or Ally Sloper's Half Holiday, but I looked up the editors of both. Apparently the author= parameter cannot be changed for editor=, so I used author, but added (ed) after the names. Would you look at how I attributed the poems and tell me if I did it correctly? Thanks! SusunW (talk) 15:13, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- SusunW, always enjoy hearing from you. Today is our last day in Paris; homeward bound tomorrow. I read Happy Ned's biography and I checked out the attribution. IMHO, it is correct. Hope all is well in your world. I assume it's pretty hot this time of year? --Rosiestep (talk) 15:27, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you so much, I appreciate the help. I love, love, love Paris. Yes, hot and rainy here. Hurricane season looks to be a bad one, but so far we've escaped any significant damage. SusunW (talk) 15:29, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Helen Hunt Jackson
https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520218048/helen-hunt-jackson
If you by any chance have this book, can you tell me the source for its cover image? It's a lovely image of her, worth grabbing, but - although TinEye indicates it might be somewhere on JSTOR, https://www.literaryladiesguide.com/author-biography/helen-hunt-jackson/ is the only copy I can find. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 13:51, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Adam Cuerden, unfortunately, I don't. It is a great cover photo. Maybe one of my pagestalkers does. --Rosiestep (talk) 14:23, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- We can hope. In any case, the one I restored already looks almost certain to pass at this point, but think it never hurts to have multiple photos. Speaking of which, while generally not well reproduced, [1] has some interesting ones. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 14:53, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Well, good news/bad news. I found it, but it's locked down a bit. http://id.lib.harvard.edu/via/olvwork367471/catalog Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 15:06, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- I've uploaded what I could get and added it, at least. With a little watermark removal. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 11:31, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

I've clearly done something to break your formatting, but I can't see it. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 11:31, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Looks great here on her page, Adam Cuerden. Thanks for that! And don't worry about the formatting in this section. It's insignificant. --Rosiestep (talk) 11:41, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Just glad to be able to improve her article. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 11:47, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
Lucie Delarue-Mardrus
I have a couple other things I should be working on soon: https://bibliotheques-specialisees.paris.fr/ark:/73873/pf0001071313/0002/v0001.simple.selectedTab=record is probably next, as, even with the slightly awkward bits to the restoration, it's such a big improvement. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 11:47, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Adam Cuerden It will certainly be an improvement over what's currently being used in Lucie Delarue-Mardrus' biography! --Rosiestep (talk) 12:07, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Formatting issue fixed. --Rosiestep (talk) 12:07, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- And Lucie Delarue-Mardrus already looking a little better. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 13:12, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Adam Cuerden, significantly better. I wonder if there are stats somewhere that address the difference in biography pageviews based on photo quality of the subject. --Rosiestep (talk) 13:34, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hm. Difficult one as the causality could go both ways (more viewed articles having more effort put in to find images, and, of course, a featured picture is a guaranteed day on the main page). I suppose the simplest way is to compare after a change of image. Ideally, we'd want changes on this level: any different that isn't noticable in thumbnail would probably have a much more limited effect, and there's a lot of noise in the data. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 14:14, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Adam Cuerden, yeah, that makes sense. I'll take a look at the stats on this one in a few months. --Rosiestep (talk) 15:30, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Fingers crossed! Would be nice to think what you're doing is helping the article's prominence. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 15:37, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
