... that the melody of "Kommt ein Vogel geflogen" ("Comes a Bird Flown"), first a love song, then a children's song, was used by Siegfried Ochs for piano variations in the styles of different classical composers? Source: several

I will re-check the sourcing once that's fixed, but for source 1 (the book), it would be nice to have page numbers for each citation. They aren't strictly required for each use for DYK eligibility, but I do believe part of the "citation" requirement is that it be adequately cited - which to me includes page numbers. Happy to re-check after you resolve the hook/citation issues. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!) 14:42, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
I'll take care of the Ochs citation, but don't have access to the books. This is just a translation, as you probably know. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:56, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
Happy to approve it once you resolve the citation for the Ochs part then :) -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!) 15:06, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
I added some, please check. The YouTube is cute ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:15, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for that, verified the sources and both "parts" of the hook are now cited inline. I see no problems preventing acceptance of this hook. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!) 18:40, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this. I added a citation-needed tag to one paragraph per Rule D2. The part about it being first a love song is not stated or cited outside of the lead. The "humourously" statement in the lead, which appears nowhere else, also needs a citation. I added the English translation to the hook. Yoninah (talk) 18:28, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
I'll look but not now. Have to nominate something today that is not long enough, because a singer died and I had to do that first ... --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:37, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
Yoninah: I will have no way to cite the paragraph about the (borderline obscene) second stanza, and about the fifth connected to the play. Should we drop it? I found a ref saying "Humoristische", if that is really needed. Treating one of the most trivial musical themes imaginable in the styles of Great Masters, - isn't that speaking for itself? The referenced fact that the song is addressed at the girlfriend (Diandl), - is that not enough to make it a love song? Replacing that by "mother" to make it something for kids is quite a bold change worth mentioning. Suggestions? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:48, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
Gerda, I'm having trouble following your post. If you can't cite something, then delete it. WP:OR means that we can't figure out things on our own; we must verify them. Yoninah (talk) 18:39, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
Do you understand that this is a translation? Someone wrote it in German, based on books in German, only I don't know where they found the facts. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:45, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
OK. So what do you want to do about your nomination? Do you want to condense the hook and just talk about the humorous piano variations? Yoninah (talk) 19:04, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
