- all looks good with the article - it is well referenced, long enough, well structured, and the image is properly licensed. It was technically very very slightly late, by a total of 13 minutes - the nomination time is marked as 21:59, 9 August 2020, while the article was created at 21:46, 2 August 2020. I'm happy to WP:IAR on that though, it's close enough. Thanks as ever, Gerda Arendt for bringing this to our attention. I just have one query - the hook says that it "has for centuries dominated Fürth's skyline", which implies that it still does so today. However, looking at pictures of the skyline now, e.g. [1] it seem other buildings such as the town hall are now taller than the church. Should the hook be rephrased as past tense? I think the source also uses past tense: "Ihr charakteristischer Turm bestimmte die Silhouette des Ortes". Suggest replacing "has for centuries dominated Fürth's skyline" with "dominated Fürth's skyline for centuries". Thanks — Amakuru (talk) 13:15, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for a diligent look! I think you are right.
