The article was moved to mainspace on 11 October and nominated on 18, just inside the 7 day limit. The article is just under 2.5K of prose. Earwig's script complains of a 33% potential copyvio of http://allmusic.com/album/hugo-wolf-und-der-wiener-jugendstil-mw0001404629, which is the quotation starting "Wörner's quiet but colorful bass-baritone and reflective attitude...." - that might want to be trimmed down a bit. As far as the hook goes, I think it would be simpler to just say he won the 2002 Bach competition. I'm sure in the past I've said "what makes bach-cantatas.com a reliable source" but I'm also sure I've said (in my head at least if not out loud) "what Gerda doesn't know about Bach Cantatas can be written on the back of a postage stamp", so I'll AGF it is.

Thanks for looking. I shortened the quote, and struck the first hook, - the cantata appeared pictured already,which wasn't clear when I nominated. In the ALT, showing a bit of versatility and ambition for the unusual, we might stop after "period",but I thought the composer names might help those who don't know the period. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:32, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
  • Where exactly is the second part of the ALT hook sourced? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 21:01, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
  • I doubled the ref, and gave the German title to make the connection more easily, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:47, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
  • Okay, I can see references to the composers, so ALT1 is now verifiable. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:01, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
