*5x expansion. Length and sources check out. Hook is sourced. Prose is reasonably idiomatic, by which I mean that it's been properly translated. Tigerboy1966  06:06, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

• The third paragraph of the Biography section (about his recordings) needs a source citation (all paragraphs in a DYK article require at least one). Should be easy to accomplish. I've smoothed the prose in the intro a bit. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:41, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

• Thanks for pointing that out. I seem to have misinterpreted Wikipedia:Did you know/Reviewing guide, which mentions one citation per paragraph as a "rule of thumb", rather than a necessity. Tigerboy1966  16:59, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

• Generally, a rule of thumb is a principle that means you'll generally be adequately covered if you follow it. In the case of DYK, statements making extraordinary claims (hook facts come under this category) may require additional inline citations, and a summary paragraph that is covered in detail in subsequent paragraphs may not require any citation since the citations appear in the sections immediately following (much like the intro doesn't usually need citations because they appear in the body of the article). I was a little overbroad in my "all paragraphs" explanation, but it is the general rule for DYK, with a few exceptions. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:41, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

• I commented the passage in question for the time being. His recordings are available in many sources, but I don't have time for it right now. The information (from the German WP, unsourced there) is not vital for the article. I hope to find the sources until it will appear. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:00, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

• All extant paragraphs are cited; approval tick restored. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:41, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
