My calendar story today is about Michael Herrmann celebrating his birthday. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:19, 4 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks! I love the idea of bringing concerts into vinyards! Netherzone (talk) 23:24, 4 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Me too! The New York Philharmonic, however, wanted a decent hall ;) - Today I am happy about a singer on the Main page (at least for the first hours), after TFA the same day last year. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:35, 7 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

She is still up on the Main Page in my part of the world! Netherzone (talk) 16:11, 7 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

She? Stephen? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:49, 7 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I clicked on the Main Page link in your message rather than singer link, and saw Angel Aquino. My mistake, reading my talk page too quickly. Netherzone (talk) 17:02, 7 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

relief ;) - Pseud 14 is much more prolific than I am when it comes to TFAs. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:54, 7 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks to Seiji Ozawa. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:04, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

... and today a woman and her views --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:08, 13 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

So great to know about her work, Gerda, I'm always happy to learn about women artists I was previously unfamiliar with. Nice article! Netherzone (talk) 22:12, 13 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Tell Charles01 who wrote it, - I just fixed things for the Main page. Did you click on "look"? A few images telling more than thousand words. The few new pics are of the most stunning coastline of La Palma, only I had some camera setting wrong, - I borrowed them from a friend. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:21, 13 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The image, taken on a cemetery last year after the funeral of a distant but dear family member, commemorates today, with thanks for their achievements, four subjects mentioned on the Main page and Vami_IV, a friend here. Listen to music by Tchaikovsky (an article where one of the four is pictured), sung by today's subject (whose performance on stage I enjoyed two days ago). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:33, 20 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I was sad to hear about @Vami IV. I did not know them well, but remember them from Women in Red, and seeing them around in general. We both worked on Saline Valley salt tram which was one of @Possibly's short articles that was later featured on the main page. Vami IV did a lot of good work for the encyclopedia, and will be missed by many in the community. I'm sorry for your loss, Gerda. Netherzone (talk) 16:52, 20 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you for your part of the memory! Perhaps better place it on his talk, for his sister and others to see? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:04, 20 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you for that! - Listen to music from Ukraine if you like, - I heard it in 2022, and the November concert (at a different church) raised a truckload of winter clothes. My story today is also from my life: I heard the singer in 3 of the 4 mentioned musical items. I sang in yesterday's. - Rinaldo (opera) premiered OTD, DYK? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:58, 24 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Today's story celebrates a woman's birthday. She sat right in front of me when I took the picture at a lovely concert, celebrating her son's 60th. I thought she was 90 today, - no, 91 already. You can listen, starting at the piece he dedicated to her, Op. 1. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:33, 28 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

more music and flowers on Rossini's rare birthday --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:32, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Just FYI I found that the NOAA produced maps of "geothermal resources" to go with that 1980 report we use a lot. The good people of University of Nevada Reno scanned them and I grabbed them all and put them here:

Commons:Category:Maps of geothermal resources of the United States

I think it includes all the states in the continental U.S. north and west of Texas, except possibly South Dakota (which may well be out there somewhere). Most are in PDF format but I think can convert to jpg and/or png if need be, just let me know which ones.

I think/hope they should be citable sources if they have any info that isn't already in the report; I cited the California one in one place already as <ref name="CAgeothermmap-1980">((Cite map |last1=Higgins |first1=Chris T. |last2=Therberge |last3=Ikelman |first2=Albert E. Jr. |first3=Joy A. |title=Geothermal Resources of California |url=https://data.nbmg.unr.edu/public/Geothermal/GreyLiterature/GeothermalResources_California_1980_R.pdf |date=1980 |publisher=California Department of Mines and Geology |publication-place=Sacramento |others=NOAA National Geophysical Center))</ref>

I can't really figure out the name of the original report or repository these came from so just leaning on the unr.edu for now. Cheers, jengod (talk) 04:48, 25 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi @Jengod, thanks for your note. How wonderful that you uploaded scans of the maps! I've got a copy of the paper maps from along with the 1980 hardcopy of the report Thermal springs list for the United States (1980) By Berry, George W. ; Grim, P. J. (Paul J.) ; Ikelman, Joy A.

Because I travel alot and live between two states in two different regions of the country, I seldom travel with the paper copies, instead I use a pdf. You can download the entire .pdf of the book here: [1] but it doesn't include the maps. Thanks again for uploading this excellent resource for hot springs! Netherzone (talk) 16:09, 25 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I just took a moment to look on Commons, and those are different than the maps than the ones I have. This is a superb new resource, Jen. Thanks again. Netherzone (talk) 16:19, 25 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi! In this edit summary[2] you say "Take it to the talk page to discuss with other editors before making this change again." and I wonder what the reason for reverting is because none is actually given in the summary. I'm not seeing the policy or guideline based argument for reverting, please explain. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 15:44, 25 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello and thanks for reaching out, Horse Eye. I see you have reverted my edits. My edits restored the article to a stable version, but it seems you disagree. I won't be reverting your revert, and will be archiving this discussion shortly. Thanks for keeping a keen eye on things, Netherzone (talk) 16:00, 25 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

So what was the reason for reverting? You still haven't said. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 16:09, 25 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
