Elke Heidenreich in 2012
Elke Heidenreich in 2012

5x expanded by Gerda Arendt (talk). Self-nominated at 21:56, 16 January 2020 (UTC).

  • Long enough, 5x expanded, nominated just in time. Article seems to be okay, not loads of sources, but adequate. I cleaned up a lot of the translation problems (German words, German grammar retained in English). Some of the German names have been translated in the Life section, while others haven't. It would be great if you could makes sure the titles of the books in the second paragraph there have translations. QPQ has been done. Happy with the photo, it's free, used in article, and clear at that size.
In terms of hook, I would not describe her as a journalist based on the article, most or her notable work has been as a TV and book writer. I'm also not sure if the fact that her book had a tomcat as the hero is really that interesting. I would instead maybe have a hook based on that it was translated in 24 languages, or won a prize.

Thank you for a great review. I was advised before not to translate titles. Well, I rememer that I found it funny that the majestic name black lionheart - with a little Mafia ring to it - is a cat, with a lot of character described. That was the first book I read. Another is probabably even more interesting hookwise, Alte Liebe, a married couple, alternate chapters written by her and her husband, from the two perspectives, written after they split up. She writes A LOT on opera. - I should have more time, am too tired right now. - Thank you for copy-editing! - Will think. Ping me if I forget for too long ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:01, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
I decided to write Alte Liebe, which will take care of that aspect. Will turn now to a DYK nom due today (and not long nor referenced enough), and 3 recent deaths. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:21, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
Achaea, will you have a chance to look again? - I confess that number of languages translated to seems rather numeric to me, and we mentioned a prize already, and television is mentioned with it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:26, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
Took a look, but I'm going to suggest a tweak, so someone else will have to approve. Per the reviews, Nero Corleone isn't actually a hero -- he's the protagonist and a bully, so I'm going to suggest:
ALT 1* ... that the journalist Elke Heidenreich (pictured), who received the Grimme television award, wrote a book, Nero Corleone, with a tomcat as the bullying protagonist?

That's great! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:46, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
I was going to approve the hook, but I cannot find mention of "Grimme" in the reference provided. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:56, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
Cwmhiraeth, the 1985 Grimme is in the "Auszeich­nungen" section of the NRW source (as "Adolf-Grimme-Preis"), which needs to be clicked to open. However, I've added a source for the 2006 Grimme (Who's Who), so both are now sourced. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:01, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
  • Thank you. This is good to go with ALT1. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:08, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
Cwmhiraeth, thank you! Can you please move it to the Special occasions? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:22, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
Done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:14, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
  • Seems like someone beat me to it, but I'm happy with this current hook. Achaea (talk) 11:50, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
