Created by SoWhy (talk). Self-nominated at 19:38, 15 January 2020 (UTC).

Article is new enough, long enough, with inline citations to reliable sources throughout. No copyvio detected by Earwig. Image is PD in US and expired-copyright in EU. Both hooks are covered and cited in text. ALT0 is probably more interesting to a worldwide audience that is more familiar with Bismarck than with Spitzeder. I have restored the full name of Otto von Bismarck in ALT0. Indignant Flamingo (talk) 21:04, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

Did not notice QPQ missing, so hold this until QPQ is updated. Indignant Flamingo (talk) 21:12, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

@Indignant Flamingo: QPQ added. Regards So Why 20:36, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

Good to go, then. Thanks, SoWhy. Indignant Flamingo (talk) 20:40, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

SoWhy, Indignant Flamingo, I do not see where in the inline source citation (2) the phrase "Prussian brigand chief" comes from; as this is a quote, it needs to be there. Can you point me to the phrase? If not, it needs to be either removed or cited from another reliable source. I do agree that Bismarck is a more recognizable figure, and if a revised hook can be crafted using him, it would be more effective. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:48, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset: You are correct. I translated the article from de-wiki and I thought I read this in the source but I probably mixed it up with this article about the re-created version of the newspaper. I removed it from the article. May I suggest

ALT2: ... that Johann Baptist Sigl (pictured) was imprisoned multiple times for publishing insulting articles about the German chancellor Otto von Bismarck and the German emperor?

@BlueMoonset: Apologies, I was confirming the translation from dewiki and neglected to confirm the quote in the cited source in the enwiki version. ALT2 is fine with me. Indignant Flamingo (talk) 02:57, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

ALT2 works for me per the article and cited source ("multiple" is accurate since we know of at least two imprisonments for the several convictions for the given reasons). The rest per Indignant Flamingo's original review and tick. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:08, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
