Precious

Eight years!

miss you --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:33, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you today for the 2012 article, introduced: "Back in the early part of the 19th century, a British army officer who had served in India left a small fortune to the University of Oxford to create a professorship in Sanskrit, of all things. His plan was that the professor would help convert the heathen masses of India to Christianity by teaching Sanskrit to would-be missionaries and administrators of British India. The 1860 election (and, yes, it was a proper election, with manifestos, bitching and adverts in newspapers appealing to the 3,700 electors) was a clash of two philosophies: one candidate represented scholarship for the sake of scholarship, the other represented evangelical Christian zeal. The Times supported one, other papers backed his rival. Special trains had to be laid on to cope with the number of graduates returning to cast their ballot. The defeat of the better scholar in the election has been held up as an example of all that was wrong with Oxford at that time. It's a topic about which I knew nothing until I stumbled across it writing Boden Professor of Sanskrit for WP:FLC, but there's a surprising amount of material out there in contemporary sources and modern analyses."! - Miss you, especially your knowledge about English church music. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:15, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome

Ten years!

Miss you. We would have sung much English music this year. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:47, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, could I ask for your input in the talk section of the List of Best-Selling Music Artists? It seems like there are a lot of pretty fundamental issues with the list, and you had commented on some of them when it failed to become a featured list candidate. I would like your input, because I'm not a very experienced editor, and I don't really know how to proceed.

Thanks. Pacack (talk) 09:04, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
