Overall: Note: I have given the article a minor copyedit - that does not affect the DYK process. The article passes DYK requirements, and it's a worthwhile subject - thank you for uploading it. The following comments do not affect the DYK status: It would improve the article a great deal if the main text were shaped a little more, though, because at the moment that section is a wall of text. I suggest separating out paragraphs 1, 4 and 5 of the main text, and calling it "Life", "Private life" or similar, and then calling paras 2 and 3 "Career" after that. Also, is Max Liebling House named after him? If so, it would be nice to include that information at the end of the article, perhaps under another subheading and with a picture of the house.

Thanks for the comments, I'll consider the structure momentarily. I did not come across any connection between the house in Israel and Max Liebling. I'll investigate, and see what comes up. Best.4meter4 (talk) 12:42, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Update, the Max Liebling House was built by another person named Max Liebling in 1936, nine years after the death of the pianist and composer Max Liebling. There is no connection between the two subjects.4meter4 (talk) 13:37, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the subheadings - it looks good now. Pity about the house, but well done for researching the house-name. I've added a repeat green tick here, as we've distracted a bit. Cheers. Storye book (talk) 13:43, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
CommentStorye book, I have five fold expanded the article on Georg Liebling. Rather than creating another DYK nom, could I just bold his name in this hook as well? There is also a nice picture of Georg that could be used. I'm not sure how to add a second article nom after the fact procedurally. BlueMoonset is there anything special I need to do to modify the nomination, and am I procedurally even allowed to add a second article after the fact? 4meter4 (talk) 13:35, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nice one, 4meter4! I'll need to do a second review, for Georg Liebling - I'll do that on this template. I have bolded Georg for you. I have seen other nominators changing a single nom to a double nom, and admin normally formats it for them. I'll come back with a review shortly. Storye book (talk) 14:12, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Overall: This review is for Georg Liebling. Expansion began 21 May, and was completed by 23 May. I have added a url to ref.13, but you'll need to check that, because my eyes are struggling to see that source today (incipient glaucoma). Google books will have a different volume of the same journal if I've picked the wrong one. Some minor issues: (1) A second QPQ is required for this second nom. (2) (Not crucial for DYK:) You have another wall of text, which can easily be divided up. You have family/background material, plus career material which can be subdivided into Europe, UK and US work (UK was of course separate from Europe then). It really is worth using subheadings where you can, because when another editor wants to add anything, it helps them add it in the right place, without spoiling the article's arrangement.

image for Georg Liebling: Georg Liebling
I'd better add that I pre-approved the image and uploaded it, and as reviewer I'm not sure I should do that, even when the nominator had suggested it and it's the only available free image, so someone else will have to approve the image again, just to be on the safe side. Storye book (talk) 15:28, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, 4meter4. Green tick, subject to someone approving the image, and subject to an admin adjusting the template for a double nom. All the best. Storye book (talk) 17:20, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Given that the Georg Liebling article gives his name as "Georg" and never "George", the hook here should follow Wikipedia in that regard, rather than Americanize the name as the Estelle Liebling bio entry has done with Georg (and Sally as well; his NYTimes obituary as "Sally" should be sufficient to use that spelling). I have updated this page to reflect that it's a two-article nomination rather than a single-article one. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:10, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
BlueMoonset I'm absolutely fine with those changes, and I updated the hook as indicated. Thank you.4meter4 (talk) 03:14, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Green tick, since issues appear to be resolved, and there have been no complaints about the image. Storye book (talk) 07:12, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
