Maurus Gerner-Beuerle

Created by Charles01 (talk). Nominated by Sahaib3005 (talk) at 20:11, 6 September 2021 (UTC).

  • @Sahaib3005: I do not know which hook you prefer. I have given my preferences below.
  • Article
  • Created within 7 days of the nomination Green tickY
  • Sourced: yes. I had to search it myself; Sahaib3005, you shoud have provided the quote right away in you DYK nomination. "1971 veröffentlichte er in gut lesbarer alemannischer Prosa „Im Hebeldorf Huuse, mym Chinderland“, worin er Geschichten und Streiche aus seiner Jugend erzählte. Angefügt war ein kurzer Beitrag „Worum i Pfarrer worde bi“. Bereits 1965 hatte Gerner-Beuerle den Gedichtband „Bunter Herbst“ mit hochdeutschen und alemannischen Gedichten vorgelegt. Die Jugenderzählungen und der Gedichtband führten zur Verleihung der Johann-Peter-Hebel-Gedenkplakette." [1] Green tickY

  • Hooks
  • All hooks have the right lenght and are properly formatted, although I would add a hyperlink to History of Germany (1945–1990) for "post-war" at
  • ... that Maurus Gerner-Beuerle became one of the best known Christian preachers of the post-war generation in West Germany?
  • Not great; hooks like "X is Y" are to be avoided.
  • ALT1:... that after his tuberculosis returned Maurus Gerner-Beuerle was obliged to be locked away for several months at a sanatorium?
  • Bad hook, uninteresting, does not make one want to read the article: the treatment, while slightly strange, is no really shocking.
  • ALT2:... that Maurus Gerner-Beuerle's tuberculosis treatment of being locked away for several months at a sanatorium evidently worked?
  • Uninteresting as it is: the treatment, while slightly strange, is no really shocking. Also, "evidently worked" should be changed: when I first read the sentence, I thought it was ironic.
  • ALT3:... that the Lutheran theologian Maurus Gerner-Beuerle wrote an autobiographical prose work about tales and pranks from his childhood?
  • The best hook of the four: it is funny, inhabitual, and gives a hint as to who the subject of the article is. It could be used as a DYK hook for the article.

@Veverve:, thanks for the review. I have now moved the prank one to the top. Sahaib3005 (talk) 04:50, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

@Sahaib3005: Ok, no problem then, I validate the DYK.
Sorry for the delay, I had forgotten to put the DYK nomination on my watchlist. Veverve (talk) 18:07, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
