Article long enough, referenced, and meets expansion criterion; hook short enough, interesting enough, and cited to online source. There are however a couple of issues in the article that I think need to be addressed before promotion... Firstly, I happened to notice when verifying the hook that the article phrase "first a baker, then a teacher, poet and musician" is taken directly from a source -- unless deliberately quoting, we need to paraphrase the information from our sources, and I'd recommend treating this as simply an example and going through the article to ensure no other passages have been copied. Secondly, the image in Commons is tagged as needing to demonstrate PD status in the US. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 11:21, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for the review, and for copy-editing. The sentence about the poet was not taken from a source, ~~but from our article on him which I thought was "safe", - understand that it was hoping for too much~~ but taken from our article and rephrased, which happens to have arrived - incidentally - at a source wording. Can you do that part, please? - We can do without image, but I don't see how a 17th century image could be under copyright. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:44, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Ian Rose, rephrased the part in question. The image should be fine, but Gerda Arendt, the source link is dead—could you find its source again? If it's that old it's probably in some out of copyright book. --Usernameunique (talk) 22:54, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for rephrasing. - Sorry, I have nothing to do with the image, so know nothing about where it comes from. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:20, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Ian Rose, will you finish - without image if doubtful - or should we look for someone else? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:57, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

New reviewer needed to finish this nomination; previous reviewer has not returned in well over a month. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:21, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
- Sorry, I thought I'd actioned after the last ping (to be precise about the timing, it's only in the last two weeks that any action on the issues was taken). Happy to pass the article/hook now but unless someone watching can deal with the image concern I think we should drop the pic. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 21:33, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

While I also wonder how an image almost certainly from the 17th century could still be under copyright, nevertheless there is a copyright claim on this web page for the Landesbibliothek Coburg. I think under the circumstances, and absent further information about the original source of the image, refraining from using the image would be wise. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:03, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Approving per above, but without the use of the image (which I have now hidden). --Usernameunique (talk) 23:12, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
