		The Featured Article Medal
		By the authority vested in me by myself it gives me great pleasure to present you with this special, very exclusive award created just for we few, we happy few, this band of brothers, who have shed sweat, tears and probably blood, in order to be able to proudly claim “I too have taken an article to Featured status”.

Congratulations and well done — a really worthy addition to the list, and I immensely enjoyed working with you on the article. UndercoverClassicist ^T·C 18:22, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou, UC! The feeling is mutual, and I’m grateful for your guidance and encouragement throughout (without which the article mightn’t have got to this point). – Michael Aurel (talk) 05:16, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Bach’s cantata was performed 300 years ago, by occasion. — Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:38, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today’s main page has again memories of three people who died, for two just the name and for the third an image (great!) coupled with a little bit from her life which seems too little for my taste. What do you think? – A friend of mine sang in Verdi’s Requiem at Trinity Church, – you can watch the lifestream (Verdi about 30 minutes into it). –Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:56, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Very nice, Gerda. That hook is a bit out of my wheelhouse, but it seems (judging by this) that your preferred wording was indeed squeezed in, belatedly. – Michael Aurel (talk) 23:00, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it was – better late than never. – Recommended reading today: Christfried Schmidt, also a story about patience. –Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:24, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

thank you for updates to the FAC, – I’ll look but not sure when. –Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:17, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

… because today are anniversaries, 100 and 300: musings on 15 May –Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:42, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, incidentally, for your work on Interpretatio graeca. My experience editing on Celtic side of this subject has shown me how tricky the topic is (see Lugus#Caesar and Gaulish Mercury for a typically difficult example), and the difficulties involved in reducing such a practice to a wikitable. Happy editing, Tenpop421 (talk) 15:19, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
