Comment: we could add to the quirkyness by saying that he didn't speak English, and/or that he was Catholic. Wordsmiths welcome!

Created by Gerda Arendt (talk). Self-nominated at 12:16, 25 September 2018 (UTC).

New enough, created 7 days before nomination. Prose length of 2.3k exceeds requirement of 1.5k, so long enough. Article written in neutral manner, and each sentence/paragraph is supported by inline citations. No close paraphrasing or other copyvio found by Earwig or myself. There are significant matches, but that is for the names of the movements, (and these are from 1911 so they'd be public domain in any case. Note that these movement names are not counted toward the prose length.) The hook caught my attention because it is odd that German Reger would write for an American Lutheran congregation. Maybe it's a bit specialized, but I think it's hooky. I would not object to proposed ALTS mentioning that he spoke no English. I was able to confirm both claims (written in 1911 for Lutheran congregation, published in 1914) though the inline citations found directly after. Hook written in neutral manner. QPQ complete. Image copyright status is clear, and in the public domain. Recommended for mainspace. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 22:20, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

78.26, the review is not complete without an icon, and if this is indeed ready for promotion, you need to post one of the appropriate icons, after which a bot will move it to the Approved page where it's available to be promoted to prep. (Reading this, it could be that you are holding off on the final icon in the hopes that Gerda Arendt proposes an ALT that includes the fact that Reger spoke no English, which would require that an appropriate inline citation be added after the sentence that mentions it.) If you are not waiting for same, please complete the review at your earliest convenience. Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:58, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

I will offer the following:

ALT1: ... that Max Reger (pictured) composed 20 Responsories in English for use in the American Lutheran church, although he did not speak English?

This is covered by reference 1. I will add it to the sentence in the article. (Linking "20" implies it was part of the title.) Jmar67 (talk) 20:50, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

Egg all over my face. Can't believe I didn't leave a tick. Thanks BlueMoonset for your diligence. Both hooks are approved, but I prefer Jmar67 ALT1 hook, as it covers the general idea the best. His hook is directly sourced to the reference. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 23:39, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
