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

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! --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt|talk]]) 05:07, 9 August 2024 (UTC) |

::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 [[Hen Gwrt Moated Site|here]]. All the very best, and I look forward to seeing another Welsh church soon.

:: thank you! - On 13 August, [[User:Gerda Arendt/Stories#13 Aug|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 [[Chorale cantata cycle|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. --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt|talk]]) 13:47, 13 August 2024 (UTC) |
