Source for hook is in German; since my German is rather poor these days I'll AGF. – Lionel(talk) 09:30, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
- What do you suggest, having to mention two, and trying to be not too long? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:33, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
- I would go through the sources again and find something interesting. If you're pressed for time, Bach is interesting. A hook mentioning Bach would be more interesting than penitence and communion imho. – Lionel(talk) 20:43, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
- We have Bach every week, and more in that week. The thing about this hymn is that it's two where you expect one. Why is that not interesting? More than 100 years apart. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:44, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
- "Two where you expect one"? That's along the lines of saying "one plus one equals two" which brings to mind... "How to write the perfect 'Did you know' hook." The guide says those kinds of hooks are "unlikely to get attention because it is not only boring, but it also tells the casual reader all that they need to know." The reviewer's guide section "Review the Hook" says that hooks should be "hooky." – Lionel(talk) 22:00, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
- I just had two DYK for the all-time-record stats, - don't think I enjoy the education. Bach used the penitence hymn, but for Maundy Thursday, we need the other. We have Bach (mentioned or implied) in two noms for Good Friday, and in the Wasserflüsse, - let's not bore the readers. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:05, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
