comment: I formatted the image but find ALT2 not informative, - something he shares with hundreds of others. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:41, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
Comment: I don't think ALT0 and ALT2 are interesting enough, to be frank. From reading the article, I think a hook about Riemer leading the photography and film department at the Socialist Education Center might be more interesting. Sounder Bruce 04:51, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

Article is new enough, long enough, and neutral. As noted above, ALT0 and ALT2 are quite dull, so I'm only reviewing ALT1, which is interesting. But I'm unable to verify from the cited source (parlament.gv.at) that he was a POW in 1945. Moreover, the article heavily relies on that source, but much of the info fails verification via Google translation, for example, that he was the son of a leatherworker. -Zanhe (talk) 05:07, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi Zanhe and Gerda Arendt: I have added another reference which does say he was imprisoned for a short time by the Americans in 1945. It is a wiki website, but published by the Vienna city and state archives and city library, so it should be reliable and acceptable. The webpage lists the sources for the info. Other citations to this source could be added (though not for the statement that his father was a leatherworker, it just he was says a craftsman). RebeccaGreen (talk) 13:44, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Thank you. I was pinged, but do't see what I could do right now. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:42, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks to RebeccaGreen for adding the source. @Evrik: do you have sources for other unsupported information? -Zanhe (talk) 01:34, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Zanhe - which piece? I thought it had been sourced a long time ago. --evrik ^(talk) 16:32, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

@Evrik: I've added cn tags to the article where sources are needed. More specifically, his father's profession and his burial place (a Wikimedia image is not a reliable source). It'll be good to go once these sources are added (or unsourced info removed). -Zanhe (talk) 21:18, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

@Zanhe: This source says craftsman, but my German is poor. I also cited the grave. --evrik ^(talk) 21:35, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

Then why didn't you change it to craftsman? I went ahead and made the change. Thanks for adding a cite for the grave. This is now good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 21:41, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you! --evrik ^(talk) 22:44, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
