Comment: Happy about hook / copyedit suggestions. Lots of free images exist, but no particularly exciting ones.

Interesting, on good sources, no copyvio obvious, and I can read the German. I wonder if the line that even made is to a headline should be quoted and explained, because "anti-police" is one thing, speaking of a burning policeman as a paraphrase of an Advent song is stronger. I don't know how far to go in the hook. I hope the unsightly red link to her job will turn blue (and can be used in the hook) before this appears. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:11, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: I've filled the red link with a stub and expanded slightly the mention of the lyrics in the article. So we could use the slightly differently linked

ALT0a ... that Saxony state minister of justice Katja Meier was criticised for the anti-police lyrics of the punk band she played in as a teenager?

I don't want to use the cop-burning lyrics explicitly in the DYK hook, as that is a bit too tabloidy for a BLP in my view. I'd like to focus the hook on her being condemned for something she did when she was a teenager, not on what exactly the company she kept was doing back then. I think the juxtaposition justice minister/punk band against the police is enough to make it hooky. —Kusma (𐍄·𐌺) 22:21, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

I suggest also the following - just positioned differently, because I am not sure about capitals if we use it like her title:

ALT0b ... that Katja Meier, Saxon state minister of justice, was criticised for the anti-police lyrics of the punk band she played in as a teenager? was criticised for the anti-police lyrics of the punk band she played in as a teenager?

Thank you, all fine! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:34, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
