Congratulations on the TFA appearance of "My Man"! It is always nice to see articles about emotional and personal songs get improved and Braxton would probably appreciate your work on it too.--NØ 06:06, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

August songs

my story today

Thank you today for My Man (Tamar Braxton song), "about a 2017 R&B and soul song, in which Tamar Braxton calls her man's mistress a "heifer". The lyrics focus on infidelity and are partially inspired by Braxton's parents and their divorce after her father's affair. Along with Laurieann Gibson-directed music video, the song was promoted with a very dramatic performance at the BET Awards 2017, which led to lip syncing accusations."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:22, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you both for the kind words! Aoba47 (talk) 16:29, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Again not by me: today's story - with the triumph of music over military - is uplifting! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:18, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the link! I always appreciate your messages, and it is always fun and informative to read about different things. Not sure if fun is the best word choice for a World War II-based article, but I found it very interesting. I hope you are doing well! Aoba47 (talk) 20:45, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I liked that article from the time I reviewed it as FAC, and again today when I saw it in the OTD section. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:57, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Today, my focus is on Renata Scotto, after days of updating. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:17, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome! She seems like a really interesting person and best of luck with your edits on the article. Aoba47 (talk) 16:20, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! - Today is Debussy's birthday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:34, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Aoba. We're very close to finishing up blurbs for all articles promoted at FAC in 2020 that haven't run yet at TFA. If you're interested in working on this blurb, great ... post it below. Or, I can do it if you like. - Dank (push to talk) 12:57, 19 August 2023 (UTC) (I don't have a specific date planned for this, so it's low-priority ... housekeeping, mostly.) - Dank (push to talk) 13:39, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the message. I will write a blurb later today. Aoba47 (talk) 14:55, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
