All the sources are offline or in German, but just about everything else is in order. Long enough and new enough. I myself prefer the first hook. A few minor quibbles: (1) A couple of sentences in the Venetian service subsection aren't sourced. (2) Is the Life section break really necessary? Clarityfiend (talk) 10:24, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Clarityfiend: which sentences are not sourced? Constantine ✍ 13:51, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - Third sentence, first paragraph of Venetian service, first, second and third sentences, second paragraph. (If the sources at the end of each paragraph are supposed to cover their entire respective paragraphs, it's inconsistent with how the rest of the article is sourced.) Clarityfiend (talk) 14:49, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    - That is exactly the case. I didn't follow a specific pattern of reference for each sentence, e.g. also last parts of both paragraphs in the 'Dutch and Danish service' section... Constantine ✍ 15:39, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
