August music

Today I have three "musicians" on the Main page, one is also the topic of my story, like 22 July but with interview and the music to be played today -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:24, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you today for St Melangell's Church, introduced: "St Melangell's Church, built over Bronze Age sacred ground, housed a prominent shrine in medieval Wales. The titular Melangell, patron saint of hares, founded a monastery in the area in the 7th or 8th century, and the current church was built during the Norman period. After a period of decline during and after the Reformation, renewed interest in the 19th and 20th centuries resulted in the reconstruction of the shrine and extensive scholarly analysis of the site; an entire journal volume dedicated to fresh archaeological discoveries was produced in 1994. This article was a stub marred by a giant blockquote and some very 2009-style references when I found it, but it was a diamond in the rough. I've been working on this on-and-off for around 6 months, and exhausted every scholarly source I could possibly find on this topic."! - Enjoy your first TFA day! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:07, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

thank you! it's exciting - as i said, it was a lot of work and very satisfying to see that bronze star :) ... sawyer * he/they * talk 05:11, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is great to see a Welsh church on the front page. And such a lovely article. Congratulations! A minor point on cites for Cadw and Coflein - we’ve templates for these, which I personally think give a slightly cleaner look to the cites. You can see how they work in Cites 7, 10 and 19 here. All the very best, and I look forward to seeing another Welsh church soon. KJP1 (talk) 05:45, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

i know about the templates and actually used them previously, but at FAC i removed them because they're both a bit heavy on the redundant linking. if i can figure out how to edit templates (i'm pretty bad with anything technical), i will fix the redundant linking issue and re-add them to the article. thanks for your kind message! ... sawyer * he/they * talk 05:48, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

thank you! - On 13 August, Bach's cantata was 300 years old, and the image one. The cantata is an extraordinary piece, using the chorale's text and famous melody more than others in the cycle. It's nice to have not only a recent death, but also this "birthday" on the Main page. And a rainbow in my places. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:47, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!
