Interesting life, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. I like both hook, but the first better, also at present, the other one is missing the citation right after the fact, - please add that just in case. - In the article: In the lead sentence, "studied" might suggest academic studies. I suggest that you read the article loud to yourself, watching for "also" ;) - Under publications/books, we don't need his name at all (who else?), but certainly not in every row. I trimmed a bit, please check that. I think turkey and sauce (hook) is more natural than sauce and turkey (article). - I just also nominated someone who recently died: Wilhelm Knabe. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:43, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Gerda. Made a few changes that I agree with. You are right, there were too many 'also's :) Trimmed them. Also added the citation right after the fact for the second hook. I was going to review Wilhelm Knabe (who btw has received an order of merit from NRW), but, someone else has already reviewed that one. I guess I was late. Good luck.
