• ... that Gertrude Degenhardt illustrated albums of her brother-in-law, liedermacher Franz Josef Degenhardt in the 1960s, and created Women in Music in the 1990s? Source: several, mainly [1]

• Reviewed: to come
• Comment: She just turned 80, and we missed it, - so sorry. Wish we could show her art. The ref is titled "the untameable pleasure in exaggeration".

• New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced. As all refs are foreign-language, unable to check for close paraphrasing.
• The hook reads like a resume. It's not clear why you're using the German word liedermacher; it doesn't even appear in the article. If you're going to mention Women in Music, why not add an adjective as to what it is? I thought it was an album. Meanwhile, you have a lot of colorful description in the article that could be used to "illustrate" the hook. Please suggest an alt. Also waiting on the QPQ.

  Thank you, patience please, RL. - I think liedermacher ("songmaker") is much better than the clumsy "singer-songwriter", - sorry about not having had the time to use it in the article. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:47, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

  I reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Anahit Yulanda Varan. Too tired for more right now. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:28, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

  back: the two facts mentioned - 30 years apart - are two highlights of which one would seem too narrow, and once two not much room for colour. Also, the descriptions would probably need some "regarded as". - It's not exactly my topic, so I may lack words, - so I am nt sue how to describe the series, etchings, drawings, whatever, - help welcome. I thought that once "illustrated" was mentioned, it was clear that she didn't compose, no?

  ALT1: ... that in the 1960s, Gertrude Degenhardt illustrated song albums of her brother-in-law Franz Josef Degenhardt, and in the 1990s, she created seriesart books such as Women in Music and Vagabondage in Blue?

  • OK, but what kind of series are these? Art series? Coffee table book series? Yoninah (talk) 21:26, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

    oops, learning, no: books [2] which can go to the article tomorrow, - need sleep. No idea how books of the kind - mainly art - are called. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:23, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

• I added "art books" to the hook. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 21:18, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
