Hermann Eggert[edit]

Neues Rathaus Hannover

  • It's new, it's long enough and it's policy compliant. The hook is moderately interesting and is inside the length requirements, the QPQ is done, and the images is correctly licenced, in the article, and looks good as a thumbnail (and also happens to be a Featured Picture on two projects, bonus!). However... per DYK rule 3b, the facts in the hook need to be cited no later than the end of the sentence in which they appear in the article. That means you need to add citations to the statements in the article which say he designed these two buildings; much as I dislike seeing citations in the lead, the end of the second sentence in the article may be the best place to do this. Once that's corrected, I'm very happy to give the go-ahead. Yunshui  11:00, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
Very observant, thank you, hopefully fixed. We could add a line about the beginning of the Town Hall building, if needed. - Off to travel, - I was a bit in a rush, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:50, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
Cool, looks fine to me. Enjoy your trip; you'll have a nice yellow DYK message on your talkpage to come home to! Yunshui  11:53, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
