... that Die ersten Menschen was already composed as an opera by Rudi Stephan when the 1908 drama about the first humans by Otto Borngräber, on which it is based, was banned in Bavaria? Source: several
Overall: Thank you for an intriguing article - I think we all want full details of the objectionable bit of the plot now. With photographs. (joke). Just a couple of issues: (1) The first paragraph of the History section needs a citation at the end, and the Roles section needs citations. (2) According to the article, Stephan completed his composition in 1914, and the poetry performance was banned in 1912. So that would make ALT0 untrue. However, if you would like to change the hook's wording to something like "Die ersten Menschen was already being composed as an opera by Rudi Stephan" or "Rudi Stephan was already composing the opera Die ersten Menschen", that would match the article's information. When those two issues are sorted, this one should be good to go. Storye book (talk) 11:31, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
(Not my article and I'm new to DYK so please let me know of any etiquette violations.) I went ahead and added citation to the first paragraph, it was easily found amongst the existing refs. As suggested,
ALT1: ... that Rudi Stephan was already composing the opera Die ersten Menschen when the 1908 drama about the first humans by Otto Borngräber, on which it is based, was banned in Bavaria? Retswerb (talk) 06:13, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
Thank you, Retswerb, for your help (no problem with etiquette). Thank you for ALT1, which is fine at 177 characters (within the 200-char. limit). I have paragraphed your comment, to make ALT1 clear for admin. There is still no citation in the Roles section - any chance you could please help us there, too? When that issue is resolved, this nomination should be DYK-ready. Storye book (talk) 11:41, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
Storye book I was able to cite the roles and their vocal ranges. All that is left is for the part about the narrative to be sourced. SL93 (talk) 21:27, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
Thanks all for help. Plots don't need references. I'm back from vacation, but it will take a few days to catch up. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:07, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
@Gerda Arendt: Hope you had a great holiday! The fact of what part (bass, tenor, alto, sop, whatever) each protagonist sings is not plot - they should be citable. Can't you just cite the score? That should cover it, and we can leave the line about expulsion and spring uncited. Storye book (talk) 11:28, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
Didn't SL93 say they cited them. I had no time to even look. - Please, indent according to User talk:Drmies. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:40, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
Score cited. Score says Frühling (spring), so this part is cited too. Short plot added. Grimes2 (talk) 12:06, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
Storye book I cited all but two sentences. Grimes2 has cited the rest now. SL93 (talk) 13:55, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
